Best Friend. My best friend is tall, nerdy:) Haha, an athlete, funny, always pleasing people or helping them out, and hes always trying to have fun. Hes a gentle giant and like a big teddy bear. Hes very tall for someone our age too so it makes him look even scarier than he really is.
Brendan is too smart for his own good. He needs to cut back on learning and hang out with me more. Haha. Hes too tall, and gonna be much taller. He comes from a huge family. Hes really funny all the time and cool to be around so don't worry when you see the great wall of china walking at you.

Earliest Memory.
One of the earliest memories i can think of was when i was in maybe first or second grade. Idk. Maybe before then. But i was at sams house. We've known eachother since forever and have been bestfriends for a long time. We yes trying to build something out of a few pieces of wood and i was in charge of hammering in the nails. We had no clue what we were doing and probably weren't the smartest people ever. I swung back the hammer to hit a nail and it never came back forward to collide with the nail head. It was stuck in his forehead...

That wasn't a good day of summer. I freaked out and didn't know what to do, and he was pale and bleeding out of his head. We ran up to the front door and got his parents and they rushed him to the hospital. I spent the next few days scared if his parents hated me or not. He still has the scar today. The end.

Treasure Island: Motif.
I think that the author used motif so heavily in the book, Treasure Island because its about pirates way back along time ago, not as modern as now, and a harder, rough time for people and they didn't have alot of money. When you bring factors like treasure into the picture, people get greedy because there isn't enough to go around and they want it all for themselves. Pirates, and even others around them all will struggle and fight for something if its something they like that They're not used to having around. If you throw a piece of bread at a bird they'll eight for it. Occasionally they'll have some but its not an every day thing for them.
Greed is still something that will effect alot of people today and in the future also and so it is a good topic to relate things to or write a book about. Greed can also come in many different ways so it is also a good expansle of a way that some things in life can take over our minds.
