My friend George
September 4, 1507
I would like to talk about my friend I mentioned in my last post. George and I grew up together as friends. He is funny, smart and seems to be always cheerful. But for a person to be like that with such a bad past… it’s hard to believe. George had a father that was a military solider like him. He had to go off to war. I can’t remember which war it was but anyways. His dad gave him and his mother a huge hug and then left. Just then, George remembered that he had to give his father something. George ran as fast as he could and ran onto the ship. He looked and looked for his dad but couldn’t find him. All of a sudden, the ship started to leave the dock. George thought that maybe he should stow away on the ship and surprise his father when he saw him. George was young and didn’t know where his dad was going. His dad didn’t explain it to George. Hours pasted and George couldn’t find his father. A couple of hours later, the ship shook violently and George heard gunshots and people yelling. Then the ship landed and George went out in the open to look for his father. Right in front of George, running off the boat, was his dad. “Daddy!” His father turned around with eyes and mouth wide open. “Son!? Why are you here!?” George was a little confused now because his father was yelling at him. “I came here to give you this…” George opened his hands and handed over a small locket. Inside was a picture of his wife and George. “I- I really appreciate this but-” Out of no were came a grenade flying out of a bush and landed right in front of them. “Son, run!” And George’s father pushed him into the water. George went flying, watching his dad wave at him… crying. George was then underwater. Then a big boom aside with an explosion came. George felt breathless. He couldn’t believe that his father died… Right in front of him. George doesn’t remember anything after that. He just woke up in a hospital. George has had a tough life. He only had minor injuries but he did get a little blind in one eye from the explosion. After that incident, I came to George’s house everyday to comfort him. Well that’s all for now. Good-bye.

That is so sad, it makes me want to cry rite here rite now… George is, was lucky to have a father like him. But… I do have a few questions about George, for example. How did George get back? Did his dad get the locket? Why didn’t his mother stop George from going onto the ship in the first place? Did his mom get remarried? Why does George want to be in the military if he already saw what it does? Does George have a child or children? I have more questions but… I already feel like I am over whelming you with questions,
So bye
P.s… Tell George that I am sorry for the whole father thing and tell him that I said hi!

George got back by home by a ship that came to pick up the bodies of the dead to give them a proper burial. His dad did get the locket and was buried with it for the after life. George snuck out because his mother would of told him not to leave. Yes George’s mom got remarried. She thought that George’s dad would of want that. George went into the military job because he wanted to be a hero like his dad. No he dose not have any children but he is married. And it’s ok if you have more questions. Just spit them out. Well time to go collect the eggs. Good-bye.
