STORY
In the not-too-far future (the year of 3047 to be precise), there was child named Marco, who was on the pensive side. With Marco, there followed many queer things. An incident where Marco would behave strangely would be when he would have mood swings. On other occasions, in spasmodic efforts, he would lean his head in an askew fashion to the side.
Marco had a family that loved him dearly with all of their heart. Because of that love, they were in every way concerned about his physical health. Time after time, they would carry Marco to the doctor to get an answer for his sickness; and they’d always get the same reply. The doctor would tell them that Marco had a recondite disorder. They would expound that it had it had something to do with the size of Marco’s spleen.
One day while Marco was studying for his geometry the next day, he started to crave food. After having a succulent peeled apple for snack, he noticed that one part of his stomach seemed larger than the other. He thought that this was normal, and later decided to controvert that anything was wrong with him. In the next couple of weeks, Marco could obviously spot that one side of his stomach was progressively increasing in size. Not long after, he came to the conclusion that soon his spleen would become to immense for his capacity. Though he knew this was to come to past, he made earnest efforts in trying to live his daily life. The very next month, Marco died while being rushed to emergency room due to a burst spleen. To this very day, he is remembered for his boldness.

The Unknown Man
He was an average man, rather corpulent and had a very distinctive askew chin. This man didn’t have a name but was highly acclaimed and was mostly known for his anachronism. This man that went by the sobriquet of “Quite Man” usually spent his leisure time telling college students anecdotes about his time (the one he thought he belonged in). At times Quiet Man became highly pensive especially when recalling events of his past, he appeared to blend in with an unkown dimension. Once he was also a geometry teacher but the transitory events made him become a public speaker like he is now and he often motivates others to do something with their lives.
This morning, my mother was EXPOUNDING a RECONDITE matter to me; she was explaining how to make breakfast for the family. i suddenly, became PENSIVE at the thought i would have to cook. She started by explaining that i should cook the bacon first, since it takes the longest ot cook. Mother became EARNEST; she said this is where i became a CONTROVERT, because i kept saying that the pancakes shoud be first. Then, drawing TRAMMELS on a sheet of paper, she explained that there should be three perfectly round pancakes, of the same size, on each plate.Then, she went on to explain that right after you whisk the eggs, you put the toast in the oven, which is followed by the eggs being cooked. Mother stated that, “if you cook the eggs perfectly, they should be done at the same time that the bread became golden brown on top”. Mom said that for the breakfast to be complete, the table must be set for five,and the orange juice, along with the food set in the middle of the table, when i call my family down to eat.
Lauren your story was like so totally coolio
One day, this girl named, Gertrude was very sad, because her mother was sick, and possibly dying. Gertrude became PENSIVE. She cried so hard that she filled her whole house with tears. Everyone spoke to Gertrude, EXPOUNDING to her, that her mom was going to die. This seemed to be an ANECDOTE to her because her mom had been fine the day before, running all her daily errands, and today, she is about to die. Gertrude and her neighbor CONTROVERTED whether or not her mom was going to die. Gertrude explained the RECONDITE matter, that her mom was going to be fine, but they did not care, they kept going on about the possibility of death. This made Gertrude furious. Gertrude, thought they had no place in this to be talking like that. She felt that they were just trying to help, but Gertrude knew her mom was going to be fine.
Gertrude’s mom got better, and she wanted to have a present ready for her mom when she arrived home from the hospital. She thought she should make a picture of TRAMMELS, since her mom loves studying about the ellipses. The day her mom arrived home from the hospital, Gertrude had the drawing ready. She presented it to her and gave her mom a kiss and hug, while explaining to her that she would have to leave for school within the next five minutes. When Gertrude arrived home from school, her mom was waiting outside for her, holding a thank-you card, showing how much she appreciated Gertrude’s help, the past few days. Gertrude was so excited she reached over to her mom, with SPASMODIC efforts. She couldn’t believe that her mom was well. From then on, her mom lived happily ever after, with no more scares like the last one.

On a cool winter day Frank the candy man brought two of his friends to his candy factory to show them a new type of candy that may change their lives. He showed them three crystal pops, they thought he was joking. Frank started to expound to the men, but they recondited the candy.They started to become pensive. One of them anecdote “What you want to be the new Willy Wonka.” Frank’s earnestness showed that he wasn’t joking around. He began to controvert about the candy that’s taste won’t ever end.Frank fecundity told them to try the candy. As the two tasted the candy they noticed that the flavor never ended.

Once upon a time there was a girl named Kimberlee. She decided that she wanted to skip school and go to the mall with a friend, but her two best friends didn’t go along with the idea. Her friend, Shana, controverted the idea. Kimberlee tried to persuade her by telling her that she shouldn’t be kept by the trammels of school. Shana still wouldn’t budge, so she went to her other friend Christine. Christine told her solemnly that she shouldn’t that her uncle had died two days ago and that they and to keep a wake for him at her house, so she couldn’t go. Kimberlee was incredulous about that excuse, so she later decided to ask a “friend” named Tamayra. Tamayra was a person who’d skip school on a regular basis. She always wanted to get back at Kimberlee for stealing her boyfriend(which was transitory, the broke up two days later) and decided that this was the best opportunity. In the past Kimberlee had tried to expound to Tamayra that she never knew Tamayra was still going out with him at that, but Tamayra decided to just ignore it. Tamayra agreed to go with her so they could bury the hatchet. When they reached the mall, Kimberlee and Tamayra decided to shop for a while then get something to eat at noon. When noon arrived, they went to the food court to get lunch but couldn’t decide on one restaurant. They finally decided to Sbarros and Panda Express (which were next to each other). Tamayra decided that she would ditch Kimberlee and let her walk home (since Tamayra drove). After Kimberlee got her food, she went to Sbarros to look for Tamayra but she was gone. Kimberlee fell into a stupor. she was frantically searching the whole food court to see if she can find her. After a few minutes, a mall security guard saw her and asked if something was wrong. She panicked and tried to run away but the guard had a tight grip on her arm. She made many spasmodic attempts to get away but everything failed. He took her to the security room and called her parents. While all this was happening to Kimberlee, Tamayra decided that she would shop some more then go home. She felt so happy about getting back at Kimberlee that she spent over $300 on clothes alone (don’t ask me where she got the money). At the security office, Kimberlee’s parents interrogating her on why she skipped school. After five minutes of interrogation and lecturing her, parents took her home, whopped her behind and grounded her from the movies and mall for two months. After that day Kimberlee never said another word to Tamayra and never thought of skipping school again.
MATT, YOUR STORY IS FUNNY.
During Geometry Class
~~$~~$~~$~~$~~$~~$~~$
One gloomy day in GEOMETRY class, Krystal was bored and tired. When she finished her test, she looked at the clock and noticed that she had a lot of TIME left until class was over. As she just sat there and stared around, she became PENSIVE. As Krystal drifted deeper in to thought, she became an ANACHRONISM in another DIMENSION. Everybody around her walked by and laughed at how tiny she was. Then she SOLEMNLY yelled back, “STOP LAUGHING!” Krystal was very scared. Her situation was RECONDITE to the people in this dimension. She started walking around but found her self in a huge TRAMMEL of giants. About fifteen minutes later the bell rang and jumped up, snapped out of it and ran out of class. Since what Krystal saw scared her so much, she never drifted into deep thought in class again.
The day started out as any other day for the Martin. He had finished another hard-working day, expounding the different subjects of geometry. Sometimes he would be pensive on the recondite subject of electromagnetism. Then he started to have spasmodic ideas for an invention. An invention that would travel many miles faster than any other vehicle. At first it seemed to controvert known methods of traveling. It took Martin a while to realize that with his knowledge of science, he could invent such a machine. Without a second to spare, Martin started to sketch the first blueprints for his machine. Although his behavior didn’t hint that he was inventing, he was more cautious when he talked about a subject related to his invention. To Martin, time would seem to speed up as he perfected his invention. Martin had developed a useful way to use eletromagnetism. First there would be magnets on the road that induced a magnetic field. Then, the vehicles themselves would have another set of magnets that would repel against the ones on the road by making a similar magnetic field. This would cause the machine to levitate. In order for it to move, seperate magnets on the road would have an opposite charge. This would cause the machine to move forward, backward, left, or right depending on which way it was located. Speed could be controlled by increasing or decreasing the amount of magnetic force given by magnets on the machine. Having a machine levitate would free it from the trammels of friction with the ground. Nearly five years passed until Martin had a working prototype. It was not long until many companies, such as Toyota, to start to want to get their hands on Martin’s invention.Just as many companies wanted his invention, many governments started to put the roads that Martin made up for the new machines. Martin thought it would be best for everyone to be able to produce his invention. So he gave the blueprints for the vehicle and roads to all the companies and governments. As the years passed, Martin grew richer and famous. Three years later he won the Nobel Peace Prize for helping make an efficient machine that was used to do much good, like having faster ambulances and firetrucks using the new technology. Although Martin didn’t live much more, he was remembered as a man who invented one of the most successful inventions in history.

Short Story
“Alright kids, time to get out your geometry homework.” As we were checking our work I sat there in a stupor. I was incredulous to what she was saying. Then she went on to talking about the dimensions of 3D objects. And of course Alicia had to controvert the teacher’s statement with a rhetorical one. This is definitely going to be a long day…
*The Story of Sarafina…*
There was once a pensive little girl name Sarafina. She always thought of things even if they didn’t need to be thought of. She was happy, all though, her earnest parents were not home a lot because they always had to work. Sarafina’s mom was a doctor and always had to leave when called, to take care of her patients. Her father was a big business man who had a lot to do. Sarafina’s brother, who was four years older than her, was not much like her. They controverted about almost everything. She had almost everyday, a “normal” day. Nothing ever really happened out of the ordinary before, until…
One day, Sarafina woke up to her room a total mess, lying on the floor. Everything seemed askew; her dresser, her bed, everything! They were all bent and the floor was slanted. She got to her feet, stumbling a few times; she was incredulous. Sarafina didn’t know how to take it. What was going on? She ran to open the door, hoping her parents were home to tell her what was happening. When she opened the door, she was so amazed and tranced in a stupor she fell to the floor.
Sarafina gasped, grabbing her sheets. She looked around at her surrounding, making spasmodic movements. Where was she? She sat up to look around. She was in her room and it wasn’t askew anymore. No one really knows what happened or what caused her anecdote. All they know is that after what happened she changed. Sarafina was no longer pensive and happy, but solemn instead…and that is the story of Sarafina.
Mr. Moshe, my story is like an ad. it is not really about a person doing something, it’s about someone trying to sell you something. do i have to write it over because it’s a really good ad. 🙂
sorry my computer got messed up for a second
The End:)
Vocabulary Story
It was Saturday and I was in a pensive mood. My mother kept expounding on a subject I really didn’t care about. I couldn’t even tell you what she was saying because my mind was thinking about my geometry test. I mean what is really geometry. Doesn’t Geometry have different meaning or something?
Well any ways, in all earnestness I was clueless on what I should study for my test. I was incredulous about whether I would even pass my test, no matter how much I studied. My mind was all askew with all the information that was jumbled up in my head.
I thought to myself “I have to get a grip”. My spasmodic thoughts were going to keep me from focusing on my studying. So I Buckled down and started studying. A week later, I found out I got a “B+” on my test. I guess the time I spent studying really paid off.
The End:)
sorry i for got to make space for my paragraph’s
One day when I was watching TV I realized what career I wanted to have, and it was to be a football player. I was earnest to become one at the age of ten. Later on in life I had many optical, some of them were passing my classes in high school, and getting money for my car. In my last year in high school I knew what I wanted to do I wanted to play for FSU.
My freshman year in college, I was incredulous because of one anecdote when I got into a car crash, my car was askew in all different directions. I felt like I was in an eddy when the car hit me. After that, I continued to play for FSU. I was an adroit in math, but I remember I had trouble with geometry in high school.
I was also the lead WR for FSU and loved it. After my last year of college I wanted to get drafted into the pros and I did in the 1st round 12th pick by the Saints. After my rookie year I became better, and better. In my 4th year in the pro’s I scored my 60th touchdown. After that I soon realized I lived my live to the fullest, and then I retired.

Here is my story…
One day as a couple walked down the beach they became pensive when they saw something strange in the water. It was an eddy! It seemed strange and when they noticed what was inside, it became incredulous.
The earnest couple tried to help the man inside the whirlpool but they didn’t know how. As they watched the man scream and move in a spasmodic motion, a man came running and was expounding to them how serious the situation was.
The man suprisingly knew what to do in a situation like this. He frantically swam out with a raft and expertly got him out of the whirlpool. The man finally brought him onto the shore and the man looked very stupor and confused.
The couple and the man stayed with him for a while and they left as soon as they knew that the man would be okay.

Terror enveloped me as I caught a glimpse of the swirling gray vortex heading straight for my house. It was a tornado, a huge eddy of dust, earth and wind. My family, all around me, watched it near us solemnly, as if accepting our grim fate without doing a thing to change it.
“We have to get out of here!” I screamed at them, trying to snap them out of their gloomy stupor. My mother looked at me with an incredulous expression. My father and sister ignored me and kept their eyes glued on the cyclone.
“Where are we going to go?” my mother asked me.”There’s no way to escape it. That tornado is atleast two miles long. We have no car.” She looked defeated as she pulled me into an embrace. ” We just have to hope everything is going to be ok.” My father smiled at me weakly,trying to be strong.
When the tornado came too close for comfort, we huddled by the sturdiest wall and prayed. I heard a huge crunching noise as the tornado ripped through my house, throwing furniture askew and tearing off the roof. My sister screamed in horror, and I gripped her hand tightly. I shut my eyes, and when I opened them, I saw a huge wooden beam flying at me. It connected with my head, and I fell into blackness.
I awoke to the whine of fire trucks, trapped beneath the wreckage of my house. Fortunately, I was able to push the dibris off me, and I pulled myself into a sitting postion. It looked like I was sucked into another dimension: the sky was an angry gray and the remains of buildings were strewn across the streets. I could not see or hear my parents or sister. Frantic, I scrambled through the rubble, pushing away splintered wood, calling their names. Not a trace. I couldn’t breathe; I ran out to the road and yelled, tears pouring down my face and mixing in with the dirt and grime.
It was hours before any help arrived, by which time I had screamed myself into silence. After listening to my hysterical tale, the rescue team waded into my destroyed house, sweeping wreckage out of their way as they searched for my family. I stood by with bated breath, not wanting to watch and yet not able to turn away. They found my sister first, and laid her bleeding body on a stretcher. Next to be discovered was my father, and last of all, my mother. None of them were conscious, and I hoped fervently that they were alive as I watched the ambulance speed away with them inside. Then I had to be taken to the hospital, as I had numerous cuts and bruises. I was treated and admitted into a room, where I fell asleep almost immediately.
How I wish I had never woken to hear the news. The doctors filed into my room with the tear-eyed nurse, and looked at me sorrowfully. Voice cracking, the doctor proceeded to tell me that none of my family had survived the tornado.
There was a roaring in my ears, my head was spinning dangerously. My skin seemed to turn ice cold, and the words repeated over and over in my mind. I could have sworn that time stopped in the moments following. Then the realization hit me hard and brutal, and I collapsed.
It has been over a year now, and I have not gotten over that day. My entire life was destroyed in an instant. I’m still at the mental insitution, because they insist I’m emotionally unstable. The people at the asylum say that I’m insane, because I hear my family talking to me no matter where I am. But I know I’m not crazy. They’re here, with me, forever.
:.~story~.:
Bob, the stubborn puppy, glared into a swirling eddy in the ocean. He watched as it twists and turned, churning the salty water. Within a short period of time, he lost his balance. He yelped and splashed around in the deep water, but his cries for help were not quite recondite. Solemnly, he had given up hope. Suddenly, a small dolphin peaked out of the water beside the whirlpool. The dolphin watched in a stupor as the scruffy dog slowly sunk in the whirlpool. The dolphin was very pensive and had an idea. She dove into the roaring eddy and swam against the current. Bob’s eyes slowly opened. He was incredulous that he was alive. He looked at his friend in the water and barked a “thank you.”
