The Adventures of Hank-response paper#6
Saturday, February 2, 2008
Hank is a normal person and is always getting into trouble because of what he looks like. This strange person looks like he never eats. He’s never hungry so he’s really skinny. He wears baggy pants that are ripped and torn his shirt is brown and stained with blue dye. His power is to make people feel like they’re going to throw up. He is a grumpy old guy that hates everyone. He lives in the Whopper Lair.
He is small and lonesome with no friends to help him. His quest is to find the worst part of his soul and bring terror to every one that comes in contact with him…except for one person.
Hank hates coming in contact with other people, he loathes it. The only way for him to get around without running into anyone is by using the sewers. Hank’s main goal is to steal some new clothes because moths ate his.
One day, Hank climbed out of the sewer and ended up right in front of a closed down clothing/food shop. Luckily he had been there many times before, but hasn’t been able to get in. Hank tried to open the door, but it’s barred shut with wooden planks. The windows were busted but there’s still glass around the frame. He got extremely hungry and saw a loaf or bread sitting on top of some clothing. So Hank jumped through the window, badly cutting his back and sides in the process and landed inside. The building was very dusty and fruity smelling. He got extremely hungry and saw a loaf of bread sitting on top of some clothing. Oddly enough, the bread was freshly baked and the clothes were ironed. So he did what anyone would do. He picked up the bread and was about to take a bite when he saw a shadow in the corner. He picked up a large piece of sharp glass, and crept around the corner. Around the corner was an elderly man surrounded by rabbits.
“Help…I need…help.”said the old man.
Hank just stared at him and didn’t say anything.
“The evil man, Count Chocula, is after me. He wants this rabbit right here.”
The elderly man handed hank a plain white rabbit, whose feet are black.
“Now, quickly…Grab those clothes and get in here.”said the old man.
The old man lead Hank to a trap door which was covered by broken boxes and ponchos.
Hank liked the look of the poncho so he took it and climbed into the hole.
The old man told Hank “Follow this tunnel until you see light shining through the ceiling in the shape of a square. There you will punch through the ground and you shall be outside litterbox kingdom. Once you’re inside, find the prince. His name is Poncho. Take this rabbit to him and he will tell you what to do next.”
Hank nodded his head and set off down the tunnel.
He walked for what it seemed like hours until he came upon the square in the ceiling. Remembering what the old man told him, he punched the square and a trap door opened up. He climbed through the hole to find himself right outside the castle wall. Hank was still holding the poncho so he decided to put it on. Walking through the town to the castle, Hank was looking at how big everything was. He had never seen anything this big in his entire life. He heard a screeching sound very close to him. He got scared and jumped into a barrel and waited for whatever it was to go away. He waited for about ten minutes and it left. He climbed out of the barrel and kept walking to the castle.
Hank finally got there and a ferret was just sitting outside the castle gates. This ferret knew who Hank was.
“Hank my dear boy, I’m glad you finally made it. Come, let us go inside where it’s safe.”
The ferret showed him inside, and, oddly enough, the rabbit started freaking out and jumped out of Hank’s arms. Hank ran after it. This rabbit was so fast. It was darting around corners and jumping over boxes. Finally it got stuck in a dead end. There, at the end of the path, stood a statue of a ferret who looked exactly like the one who he followed inside.
“I am Prince Poncho, if you didn’t get that yet.”
All of a sudden, the castle begins to shake. The statue begun to crumble, and the head came off and crushed Hanks’ leg, breaking it. Hank screamed in pain, while the bunny was sitting there watching. Then, out of nowhere the head begun to rise into the air, and landed nearby. Hank couldn’t very well walk, so Poncho carried him out of the castle.
During there escape, Hank passed out from the pain of his leg being crushed. Poncho had to carry Hank to the nearest hospital to get his leg fixed up. More on the Adventures of Hank coming soon.
What a hero is-response paper#5
Saturday, February 2, 2008
Superheroes are the coolest thing since sliced bread. I don’t really care for superman or captain America or any hero like that. He has to have special attributes, special powers really. I’m going to compare my hero to Odysseus. To see which one is better, just read on.
I think for a hero to truly be a hero, he has to have a few Specific attributes. One attribute he should definitely have is to be able to get rid of pollution. That could really come in handy if he’s fighting in a sewer. Another attribute is that he should be able to fly. I really just think flying is cool because your up in the air and your kind of defying gravity…so it would be way cool if he could fly. The last attribute he should have (but which I don’t really care about) is…he should have green hair. You might know who I just described. If you guessed Captain Planet, then you’re right. Captain Planet is my idea of a hero.
Odysseus is definitely a hero, but not the type I described earlier. Odysseus is a strong, courageous man who would do anything so save his comrades, even if it means putting his life in danger. The bad things about him are: He doesn’t think about most things, he’s very curious, he can be reckless at times, and he’s willing to sacrifice some men to get back home alive. The bad things about Odysseus outnumber the good things about him. With Captain Planet, on the other hand, the good things outnumber the bad by quite a few. The good things about him are: He has green hair, he can fly, he cleans up pollution, and his name is totally awesome. The bad things about him are: He has blue skin, he has no one to help him except for five kids that use rings to summon him, and he doesn’t really have any enemies. I think Captain Planet won this fight.
Captain Planets life is…odd. He lives in five kids’ heads and only they can hear him. He can only be summoned to help by the five kids’ rings. Once he’s free, he stops any pollution and fixes anything that’s going wrong. I’m not really sure if he dyed his hair, or it’s just natural. All I know is, it’s freaking sweet though. His blue skin isn’t my favorite attribute of him, but it’s still pretty cool. He looks like that guy that was on the news a couple weeks ago that had blue skin because he drank too much colloidal silver.
That is what I think a hero should look like and do because having green hair, blue skin, the power to clean up pollution, and the power to fly is just awesome. And also, those are just appearances I would like to see. What a real hero is: Someone who is strong, the hero can possibly use magic, and they could have the power to clean up pollution.
