Super+Power+Writing

We finished reading the novel, __The Girl Who Could Fly__, by Victoria Forester. John says it's an eccentric book. Spencer says that it's an exciting adventure. Max pronounces it "fantasical." Caroline simply says, "It was awesome." Veronica thoughtfully states, "It was really sweet and funny at all the right times-- and also full of action." The book was apparently not Peyton's cup of tea, as he warned, "Don't ask me about it." As we read and learned about the protagonist's ability to fly, students meditated upon having some sort of super power; each student then wrote a short piece describing what he/she saw in the mind's eye. Here are their writings.

Okay so, obviously you have come here to read about super powers (which are super-cool by the way) or you saw my little announcement on the home page, and the link didn't work or you're just too darn lazy to click it, so, smart you, you clicked on this page. So just click the discussion tab right above this and click on the discussion that I, theREALrolldover, wrote. Yeah, I'm the unicorn.

Me? I am not normal. I am different. I am unique. I am exceptional. I can see into the mind’s eye. I can tell what will happen. I know what did. I can uncover secrets, ancient mysteries. I can let people know what I want them to know, with passersby being none the wiser. Those who don’t believe me are not fools; they merely have yet to see what I can do. I can insert thoughts into people’s minds; I can look through others. I understand patterns. I can change people’s opinions. I can alter their decisions. This comes with a price, as does anything. The pain, the stress, is like a migraine times ten. But it is all worth it. Like infinity, I will continue to go on. Me? I am not normal. I am different. I am unique. I am exceptional.

Control by Caroline I saw myself billions of years in the future, still a kid, watching people with super human abilities. I was standing there, noise blasting in my ears. I didn’t know what was going on. Suddenly I saw a little girl standing on the other side of a huge, white, sparkling fountain. My ears were killing me. When people passed by, they weren’t talking. No one was talking exept for the little girl across from me. The noise of that little girl’s voice was pounding in my ears. I shouted, “stop!” Nothing moved. “Go.” A rush of people started moving again. I said, “Down.” The volume immediately went lower. I realized controlled the universe. I controlled everything.

**What I Would Become** **by Spencer** **I saw my self as a** **shape shifter. I could turn into anything I wanted to. When I would change, I would feel this warm feeling inside and the more progress in my changed the more it would spread through my body. I could become the most beautiful creature or the ugliest creature. I could become the fastest or slowest creature, the smartest or the dumbest creature. I could become anything I wanted to become. I could do anything with this power and nothing could stop me. I would use this not for evil, but for good, as best as I could. This is what I would become in the future if I could. Like an apple, I will be good**

I am a being of light. Like the sun and the stars, I shall light up the sky and warm the earth. I dazzle and amaze as I overwhelm the cold as I shine. I have given warmth to Pluto so that it may I can move at the speed of light without even running or walking like I can teleport. I become pure energy and I am 10 times hotter than the suns core. I may unleash heat that could melt the galaxies in an instant. Strangely enough, nothing around me is being incinerated and I feel like my body is at its normal temperature. I can even make wings of pure light and soar through the sky. Objects move through my body as if I am not a solid being. In fact, I’m **NOT** a solid being!! It’s incredibly strange how nothing touches me except my clothes. I become the smallest and hottest sun in the universe. Now I know how it feels to be pure nature. It feels Fantastical. No, that isn’t the word. It feels SPECTACULAR! As of now, I am the Holy Sword EXCALIBER! O.K., the last part wasn’t true. Actually, I had the ability to create something solid out light, as long as it has only bright colors. I crafted an elegant sword of pure light. However, it was as sharp as a normal sword. It could cut though the fabric of space-time and open passages for others and me to other galaxies. I see planets full of life in each of these galaxies. With my sword I will search the universe seeking for more planets with life.
