It had a laser and it could track foot prints. He asked his grandfather if it was the right thing to do to invade the evil librains.

I would have invaded the place just to get it ove with. But in some terms i would have not. I would have not because his powers were not fully controlled and he could not want to break he could only brake what he did'nt want to break.

HW #31

A song that reminds me of a time or place is "Aunt Jackie" my Jason Foxx. In his video he was on 116th. So that reminds me of a time when me and my uncle left church it got boring so we walked to Central park. We walked around to see people play baseball and some one hit it out of the park and I found it and when we got it and he took it from me and threw it in the pond.

Chicken Noodle Soup reminds me of when I am on 119th with my cousin playing basket ball and football.
