3. Write a short story about a cats midnight streets adventure from
his/her point of view. From midnight to sunrise
Hello! My name is Kitty and I will tell you all about the one time my parents, Alaric
and Jo, left my cage open.
Basically it happened last week, Friday to be specific. I remember daddy putting
me inside the cage but forgetting to close it since mommy called him for an
emergency. P.S they are having a baby. Anyways, they had a long talk inside their
room and then when the door opened they were all ready to leave the house.
They were going to celebrate. Daddy said goodbye from far away and they both
left the house without closing my cage. In my mind that meant one thing,
midnight adventures! Since I had already been everywhere in the house and our
huge backyard it was time to go around the neighborhood.
First I stopped by Malia’s house to help her escape. She’s my best friend and we
barely get to see each other. Trying to help her escape took us a while. I
remember I left the house at midnight and helping Malia took me like and hour
since her parents were cuddling with her for about 45 minutes. After I was able to
get her out we went down to the Mystic Grill which was almost right in front of my
house. I told Malia we should’ve gone there because we were hungry and sick of
eating the same old cat food. I knew mommy and daddy weren’t going to eat
there because mommy is allergic to the pet toucan that is inside the restaurant
meaning she would be sneezing like crazy. We went through the back alley
where they throw the food that has something wrong or that customers do not
like. The mystic grill had amazing music for the first time ever, because I
remember listening through the house and it always being so horrible so since it
was finally good we stayed there for like two hours. We ate such great meals and
the food was amazing even though it was a little salty.
After that we did competitions on who could get to the other side of the street
faster. I was a little worried that mommy and daddy were going to arrive and not
see me there but since they left the lights off, they probably wouldn’t bbbbbbbb
even see or notice me if I was there. We raced like a million times bbbbbbbbb
until we got really tired and then we laid down on our backs to see bbbbbb
the last few minutes of the night and the bright stars. We were bbbbbbb
having an amazing time and after we saw that the sun was bbbbbbbbbb
coming up we went running to the highest rock in my yard to bbbbbbbb
watch the sunrise since we have never seen it together. Best bbbbb
experience I have had so far! After we watched it entirely, bbbbbbbbbbbbbb
we both went back home and our parents didn’t notice so it bbbbbbbbbbbbbb
was like we had never left
4. Find an unusual word for any of the senses (touch, sight,
hearing, smelling or taste). Investigate the story behind the word
SMELL
Whiff
A whiff, "foul scent or odor," of imitative origin. Modern form became
popular late sixteenth century with tobacco smoking, probably influenced by
whiffle "blow in gusts or puffs" (1560s). Also, as a verb, ‘blow with a slight
gust’. Whiff means just that (a quick puff or slight gust especially of air,
odor, gas, smoke, or spray). The word whiff refers to the “sense of smell”.
The noun whiff means a smell that you notice briefly. Synonyms for whiff
include: faint smell, sniff, scent, odor, snuff and aroma.
Sentence: The whiff of blood I got from Sheriff Forbes’s shirt made me
think my friends were getting tortured, if not killed. Turns out I was correct

7AM: The car is look from the top. It is very shiny and the black color of
the car stands out and looks very sheer. You can only see a tiny shadow
to the left side where the front of the car is reflected.
12PM: The car look very dirty. The amount of light hitting the car from
different rays of colors make the car look very dusty. Again you can only
see a tiny shadow to the left side where the front of the car is reflected,
but the shadow does seem to be getting bigger.
5PM: The car has a very pretty golden tone to it when the light hits at it
from different angles. The sunset was very pretty, bright and happened
really early so the cars color was the main thing that changes. It looks
dirtier than it did in the morning and now since it isn’t a white ray of sun
like it was in the morning you can see through the glass that in the top
seat there is a dark colored bag. The shadow is the biggest it had been.
11PM: The car can barely be seen. You can only see like the shadow of
the car and nothing else. It’s like the figure and outline of the car but
because of how dark it is, nothing but its shape can be seen from my
angle.
