Some of their paths lead them to personal glory rather then helping a friend and other the other way arond. The plot of the movie is Will and Elizabeth have to go to World's End to find Jack Sparrow because he lost in the previous movie when he went against the Kracken. This story takes them through an incredible journey of betrayal and revenge. Many ship to ship battles are involved in this movie which makes it a great advenure movie if that is what your interested in.

The Teddy Bear Massacre

It was dark and the stars were still in the sky. It was clear and the moon came out of hiding and showed its malevolent self. It was so peaceful with the soothing sound of water behind my ears. The river also acted as a nice cooling system as I slipped my tail into the water. Ok well this is becoming quite boring I said to myself. I picked myself off my but bushy butt and proceeded to a favorite place amongst my species "The Rotted Tree Hole". There were fine ales every were filled to the brim with acorns " I lovvvvvve Acorns". Then I settled into Ecstasy. Days flew by as if they were moments and the room spun by as if i was spinning. Then I woke up in my groggy state on a streacher trying to gather what was happening then I see all the tavern folk on the ground not moving and then something hit my head hard and I passed out. I awoke poorly tied to chair with a bright light. The rest of the room was dark and then in the distant i saw a figure slowly moving towards me. Then it came into the light. It was.........A Teddy Bear ah ha ha ha. I laughed and laughed and as I laughed I could see the expression on the bears eyes turn into quite a neagative one. The Teddy Bear had his way with me hitting me with his stuffed arms in an attempt to hurt me. I held back from laughing pretending that he was inflicting excrutiating pain onto me. Then some drunken squrrils kicked the door open and ran towards the bear. They ripped off its arms and legs and left it there trying to stitch itself back together. They untied me within an hour. We ran away and then an alarm started to echoe through the hall. Many teddy bears came out with machine guns firing wildly in our direction. I slowly walked to one of them and ripped off his arm and stole his gun. I took out all of the teddy bears without having a casualty on my side. "Those idiot Teddy Bears with their poor aim and their small brains". We were able to escape and the squrrilco- teddyco war started.

The Best Pirate

The stars were out and the sky was clear. The sky was a navy blue and the night was nice and quiet. The boat was rocking and being pushed across the sea. There was nothing to be seen for a miles. The crew was down below in the storage getting drunk and playing Perudo. I walked down the stairs and yell out “were has all the rum gone!”.
Then with out a seconds notice of a cannon shot through right in front me. My mind was hazy and my world was all blury after drinking so much it didn’t really click in that my ship and Jimmy over there had being shot . Then the emotions of anger and rage flow through my body and I ran up on deck and yelled out “all handsssss on the deck?”.
Fire the cannon you rotten crew or at least that what I thought I said but it was just some grumbles. Launch the secret weapon crew I said and damn we scared em good. We launched the most feared weapon in the seas. Even my crew was trembling when I told them the order. We launched our spoons. Then I grabbed a rope accidently bringing down sail and swung across with rage guiding my blade. I landed on the ship slashing and stabbing my way with my eyes closed. Then I ran around in a circle and kept spinning with my blade fully out. Then hit something hard which I figured must have been bone right. Well I was wrong I hit the bloody edge of the boat. When I opened my eyes to my satification I won “mwhaaa mwhaaa”. Then reality started to kick in and the headache started. All of a sudden the sky went dark and golden glimers filled the void glass fell to the ground and I soon followed . I awoke later being very groggy and disoriented. I looked around and I recived some devilish glares. Then those bastards stuck me in a cage and through me off their boat! A day later after I cried myself to sleep and all hope had gone. I tried to keep my sanity by trying to play my hair as harp. Then wood smashed and I noticed that I crash-landed on an island. And if I haven’t crashed here before it’s sure new to me. I stuck my legs through two cracks and ran into a tree many times until I broke free. Then a coconut fell accopanining it was a whoosing noice and before I could move I saw black it struck my head and I crashed to the sand. I woke up again at a later date. I woke up feeling groggy with fatigue starting set in and I couldn’t figure out were it is I was. I decided to run up the island and back down to see if any life was there. Exhaustion hit me hard running on that sand with the beating red sun and the boiling heat. Then I remember The Coconut! I ran to were I was struck finding the dented coconut. I picked it up and then I smashed it on a tree. ‘Smash!, Crack!, Blamo!. The coconut was fierce opponent. Then I steped on it and tripped smacking my head into the tree. F-ing tree had to be there now a large bump started to protrude from my head. Then I gave the coconut one more smack and thank god it opened. I drank the juices and the feelings of being gross and refreshed at the same time. I then retreated into the shade of a palm tree to rest.
I awoke during the night to find myself caught in a net. I drew my sword with a gracefulness and then I realized my sword has been turned to wood. “God why have you done this to me throwing me onto this horrible island prison”.
After some more ranting and self-pity and came to my senses and figured I had to make some sort of shelter. So I look at my surrounding and saw some broken trees on the ground. I I leaned four trees together and then tied them with their own leaves. Then I had to find something to keep rain out so I collected a whole lot of leaves and laid them over it. Of course this did not work because a mysterious force was pulling them down and I would have to get to the bottom of this. So I dig and dig and I found a spring in the ground. Luck is coming my way today. Although the fiend that was wreaking my castle had to be punished and had to be found but that would have to be left for another day. I slip into my castle and close my eyes. Then ‘Splash, Splash, Splash’ that can’t be good. Then rain flowed through the sky resembling the power of a raging river. Damn that bastard that stops my leaves from staying on my castle. I curled into a ball and somehow fell to sleep.I woke up the next morning with some sniffles and not feeling so hot. I had to warm myself up. I took a stick and my sword and rubbed them together trying to create a fire. Although It did not work and a tear fell from my eye. I found some rocks and smashed them together and nothing happened accept from some dust that came from the rocks. I chucked them into the forest and something made a ear- piercing squeal. I moved towards the sound and I was a murder I killed it my evil side had come out the little critter was now dead. The squirrel was not even big enough to feed me. I walked around the island and threw it into the water for a watery grave. I put some mud on my face and sharpened a stick and the predator inside me came out. I darted to the shores and I threw my stick in the water hoping that I would get a fish. This dominated my mind for most of the day. I eventually just dropped the stick and jumped in the water looking for something to eat. I dived down a little and found a eel I grabbed it and started to pull it then electrical currents moved through my body and all my body became numb.

The Boogeyman

When the sun goes down the folks are asleep and your in your room all alone. The shadow of your nightlight beaming a scary glow. The creaks and cracks of the wooden floors in the distance. The feeling of safety under your blanket shielding you from the creatures that go bump in the night. Then the nightlight stops room is dark. The only sense tells you of a eerie whistle. Your heart is pumping and your mind takes over. The illusions of the dark start to show themselves. You try to be strong and brave the darkness and lift the blanket. A shape of a man in the closet so apparently clear. Your paranoia start to come and the blanket raises over your eyes. Footsteps move towards your bed and drops of sweat run off your head. Tears drenching your cheeks. The being screams and howls trying to get more satisfaction from scarring you. Then the light turns on and all hope comes back and the mysterious figure is gone. Your mom comes in and assumes it was a nightmare. She leaves and before the lights go out you see hat in closet. You know now the thing was real and it poses a threat. Then you feel a grab again and the lights come back on. Your decides to check it out and journeys on inside. All you hear are shrieks and screams and your mother to never return. Then you wake and bright white room. Your arms are stuck and you can barely move. A man comes in with a mask wearing a white suit. Something sharp goes into your arms and your eyes drop heavily. You wake up in your bed and figure it was a dream. You go to school and back. You move to your room and all you see the hat!

Canadian International Car Show

On Sunday I went with my brother and my father to the car show in Toronto thinking that it was going to be one of the most boring things to ever do. Now I'm not the most car oriented person but I do know that I want a nice one. When we went there we saw many cars from old 1904 Studebaker to concept Audi cars. The old cars were not a big deal to me but the concept cars were awesome to look at. Whatever car you have ever dreamed of that car was there. One of my favorite cars was the Ferrari cars. Everyone loves a good Ferrari. Also there were even cars that I towered over in size called Locust cars. They also showed a three wheeled car! Now that's when you know were progressing into the future and for all of you people that care for the environment they showed hydrogen fuel cell cars so hopefully those will arrive soon.

The 300th Spartan

Aristodemus was awoken by one of his companions and was brought to the ceremony. The city of Sparta a very prosperous city and the most powerful of all the Greek states. King Leonidas brought a group of three hundred Spartans together. King Leonidas spoke once they were all gathered " the sons of Sparta your time has come to prove yourselves against a deadly force. The Persians a hated enemy of the Greek have already invaded the Greek state of Ionia and we will not this stand."
We then sailed over to Corinth were our King is starting a counsel to discuss the next course of action against the ensuing threat of the Persians. The Peloponnesians said that we should retreat farther back to isthmus and protect Peloponnese with the Athenians. King Leonidas and The Phocians and Locrians believed that defending Thermopylae was incredibly important. So the three hundred and the seven hundred Phocians and Locrians would take a stand against incredible odds and defend Thermopylae to the death.
It was a crisp morning with the sun shining. the god Helios giving his blessing for our trial ahead. One of our messengers came in and said that the Persians have landed. We moved quickly into valley were our three hundred men will stand and fight while the other seven hundred stay back. The sun was at its peak when we heard the loud chants coming from the distance. The Persians have arrived. They camped out in the distance so they could see what we were doing. Leonidas spoke before we slept. "My fellow Spartans eat well tonight because tomorrow you will be dinning with Hades(King Of The Underworld)".
The sun rose and all the men were lined across the valley. Leonidas gave us some more inspiring words because the fight but then he was interrupted by the screams of our enemies. We moved into a Phalanx. Which is a wall of overlapping shields and layered spear points, spanning the entire width of the pass. The Persians running straight into our spears sticking many men. Then the spears were gone and we took out our xiphos and held out our shields. We repelled the the first wave of Persians then the sky became dark and the sun was gone. The air was filled with arrows falling upon us. I looked up and then stabbing pain went through my body and I could not see out of my left eye anymore. When we set up camp, King Leonidas told Aristodemus and I to leave because we were no use anymore because of our injuries. We left towards Thessaly but then I felt my pride get the best of me and I had to go back. I knew I wouldn't be able to help much but when I got back my people were trying to repel another wave of Persians and I joined the fray. While the battle ensued I looked to my right and I saw our King get stricken down. We repelled the wave and then more Persians came. Then coming from behind were more Persians. We had to run to a near by hill. I dragged King Leonidas to the hill and then we battled the Persians. I felt cold after killing a Persian and I started to become dizzy and lightheaded. I then looked down and saw the cold metal sword in my chest and fell to the ground. I watched helplessly as all the rest of our troops were cut down and our King dragged off in disrespect. When the Persians then began to move again and the other Greeks threw down their weapons in surrender.

Side note: This battle took place possibly in August. There really was only three hundred Spartans and they all did die. This battle is referenced throughout many events in history. A movie called 300 comes out on March 9th 2007 that showcases this battle.
