rear window

My essay is about a top-rated American film called Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock and the main character is L.B Jefferies.


L.B Jefferies is a photographer that lives in an apartment in Chicago. He also has a girlfriend that he has been going out with for a while and she wants to get married but he’s not ready for that.

Then when his girl friend came over he looked over at the house to him and the guy was wrapping a knife and rope. He was very worried why he was wrapping a knife and rope and his wife was missing. At that point he knew something was up. So he called the detective and when he came to the house he didn’t believe him but he still checked it out.
L.B really wanted to know if this guy really killed his wife or not.

Then when the detective came back he told L.B that his wife was on a trip but when L.B toke his binoculars he saw that she had left her purse with her wedding ring and girls never leave with out there wedding rings. Know he knew he had to of killed her and he also learned that he would be a great detective.

In the end the guy figures out that L.B was spying on him and he came over to L.B’s apartment and tried to kill him and he was about to push him the railing and the police barged right in before he could but L.B slipped and broke his other leg.

coast trip

In mid-September we went on a trip to the Washington coast. 5 days in the wilderness and missed 3 days of school. It was one big adventure. It was not easy and we had many problems but we got through them.

The trip had many fun parts, but the best part was probably cedar creek. It had the most things to do and it’s where I had the most fun. The camp had a rope swing and there was a creek that was really cool. One of my favorite parts was swimming in the creek. We got the 2 warm fires going and we put all of are wet stuff up to dry next to the fire. Then we jumped in the river. It was so cold! It was something I could never forget. We all slept well that night. It was a perfect ending to a long day of hiking.


The most difficult part was the breaker day. Day 3 it was when we had to hike 6 miles over 3 points. There was a bunch of slippery rocks that made me fall a lot. About the third time I fell I bruised my rib. Man it hurt so bad. Mr. Berquist asked if I was ok and I said yes because I didn’t want to make a big deal about it. When we hit the sand it felt like I was walking on nothing, it was so much easier. When we got there all of us were so tired! We all couldn’t wait to take off our back packs it felt so weird not to have 35 pounds on my back I about fell over. We set up our tent it felt so good to rest for the night. Great day of hiking but it was hard.

The most important thing I learned on this trip was how to never give up. At times I wanted to because it was so hard but I fought through it and I just thought about how happy I was going to be when I was done. Man I sure was happy. I did see things that I normally would never see, for example the wild sea lion and the great views of the sea. I’m very proud of my self for doing this. It was hard eating all the freeze dried food that was sick, but at the time I didn’t care because I was so hunger.


I got a lot stronger and I feel like I could do the hike again. Now that I think about it I think I did a good job on accomplishing the trip. I’m very glad I did Adventure Ed because it was a great experience I’m glad I achieved this experience with my friends I will have a lot of great memories.

~~BEN'S HOUSE~~

This weekend I went over to my friend Ben's house. He told me to bring over my dirtbike so we could ride. So i did when we got to his house it was so big it was really cool. He had already taken out his bike so when i pulled mine out of the trunk we just went from there. I had to put all my protection gear on frist like helmet,boots,googles,gloves and chest protecter and when i had all that stuff on it got really hot quick. When we went out on the track i was so suprised to see how many trail he had it was sweet. He told me to go slow on the first couple of laps i was like ya right i just flored it and pig tailed it i felt awesome. when stopped Ben was like dude that was awesome. I was really suprised that i pig tailed it and if you don’t know what pig tailing is its where your back wheel slides out to the side. When i looked back there was a big skid mark. Then he showed me they jump and then i was just flying off of it. I was so happy that i had a friend that also dirtbikes man i love that sport. Im i very glad that my dad bought me a dirt bike I'm a very lucky kid.
