It was a long day of work and I was returning to my village. I reached the top of the hill when I smelled smoke. I didn't know what it was. I thought I was a barbeque. I was still alarmed. I ran to my village to see what it was. Finally, I see my village. Then my fears are realized. My village was on fire. At that point I didn't know what to do.

In the distance I see some sails moving away on a river. The only thing I knew was that ships can't be in rivers because rivers are too shallow. Then I knew who it was. I knew that the Vikings had attacked our village, At that point I ran to my village. I knew the Vikings were ferocious warriors and that they could destroy anyone in sight. When I got to my village, there were a lot of dead people. I went to my house and saw my family had been spared, but had stolen everything. I didn't know why they spared them, but I was just glad they had been spared.
 
Charlemagne was a warrior and a strong king in the Middle Ages. He was important because he led the Franks in building a huge empire. He spent much of his time in war. His empire included much of France. He conquered parts of the former Roman Empire. He then was crowned Emperor of in the 800s. He also loved education. He helped build schools in his empire.

What I learned was that Charlemagne was a fierce warrior and strong king. He led the Franks in building a huge empire. He then would be crowned Emperor in the 800s. He also built schools in his empire because of his love for education. Charlemagne helped Europe get back into shape and control it. At that time Europe was a dangerous place after the fall of Rome.
 
On New Year's, everybody makes a resolution. A resolution is what you are going to do better to make the new year better. I made a resolution to do better at school. I always try my best, but this year was kind of hard. Some of the projects were easy, some hard. This year I want to do better so that I can get better grades. I will keep this resolution so that I can succeed.

The first thing that I will do is study more. I haven't been studying because I already know the material. When a really hard topic comes, then I start to study so that I will understand it. The next step is to get more help. I've been getting a lot of help last quarter because I didn't get it. It is never bad to get help, but some people don't like getting help because they don't want to embarrass themselves.

Everybody makes a resolution because they want to improve their lives. The one resolution that almost all people make is that they're going to go join a gym. Alot lot of people want to lose weight, so they join a gym. After a few weeks of months, the people give up and never come back.
