  2. The picture of the glove is very great and it's a shining sparkling glove that could've been real diamond jewelry for men and women because it is made out of diamond rhinestone crystals and since it is really shining to light it is because that when you have it outside people know it is important to you because how it inspires me is to know how it is something to be cared about this glove to people in the world. Very very important, Alex

  4. Pictures of soccer players inspire me to write because I'm a soccer player and I play on a soccer team. The name of the team is called Saba Boca and we have practice twice per week and games on weekends. The reason I like writing about soccer is that when I go back and re read my work, I get to remember the fun I had while I played. I enjoy writing about soccer and I hope you find something you enjoy too!

    1. The picture that inspires me is from the book Smile. That picture inspires me to write because it makes me think of a story that I can come up with. About a girl who put her tooth under her pillow and the tooth fairy did not give her money for her tooth. That is why this picture inspires me to write.

  5. I like this painting “Christina's World” by Andrew Wyeth.
    I saw it at the MOMA a few years ago. What imspires me about “ Christina's World ” is that the painting is not just a painting it has a story, Christina looks like she wants to go to the big house, but she's stranded. “Christina's World” also shows an inner battle, because you could be stranded in your life and not be able to reach who you are.

  6. I drew a picture of a mythical creature. It has a purple head, gold wings, a pink body, a green tail, and red legs. When I look at it, I can imagine a whole story about it. It inspires because it glitters, which reminds me of magic. Then the magic reminds me of fantasy, which is one of my favorite genres. I named the mythical creature Wuffles, which I made up. Waffles lives on planet Jupiter, even though it’s very cold. He can survive in any climate.

  8. I chose a leprechaun for my picture. The reason I chose that is because leprechauns always look very happy in every picture of them. So it makes people feel happy when others are happy and that is why I chose a leprechaun as my picture for inspiration.

  10. This picture of Michael Jackson inspires me to keep going and never give up like he did. The reason he inspires me is because he has made all these songs to inspire us all to keep going on. This inspires me to become a singer when I grow up. I want to make songs that keeps us all going.

  12. What inspires me is a picture of a poster of the play I was in which was Grease. It inspires me because I was not born in 1978, it made me feel like I was actually in the real move. It inspired me to dance and to act.It also made me feel like I was actually my character CeCe.It also inspired me to do more plays.

  13. This photo I chose inspired me by the bridge and the beautiful light it has from the sky and the light it brings from above the blue sky.The moss and the pond were very graceful and the shadow on the tall trees.It blends in with the shrubs and bushes .

  14. My picture is of a puppy. The puppy inspires me because
    every time I see something I like I can come up with a story quickly that goes with it pretty well. Like I have a picture of a puppy with a teddy bear and I could make up a story where the teddy is real and they meet.

  16. My picture inspires me because it shows that people have the courage to go into space. Also a opportunity to find new creatures in different galaxies. Going in to space is scarier then you think. Writing also takes courage because you have to write down your thoughts on a piece of paper and that is very different from what is in your brain because everyone can see it and get to know you a little better.

    In the picture it shows huge amount of smoke. It shows that the space shuttle is moved by a big machine. It shows that a real space shuttle should have an orange rocket to bring it to space. It shows the landscape. The landscape has a lot of dirt.

  17. An image that inspires me is Ai Weiwei’s art piece; Teahouse.
    In this sculpture, three houses entirely made of tea leaves, stand on top of a section of the floor that is made of tea leave as well. I like this image because it reminds me of my home and my culture. The natural materials that Weiwei used makes me think of his culture and how it connects to the piece. This inspires me to learn more about his past.

  18. One picture of Lionel Messi kicking the soccer ball but Pepe from Real Madrid is about to stop him inspires me. Messi is a famous soccer player. He plays for a club called FC Barcalona and he play for a internatianal team Argentina. This piece inspires me to play soccer, that is why I like it.

  19. This picture of my family inspires me because I love my family and my family loves me. I also have lots of family members and I can write a bunch of stories that are funny and adventurous about them. There are also so many different people in my family that have done amazing things and that inspires me to write about my special family. For example I would like to write about my Uncle Steve who broke a world record in surfing. That inspires me.

  20. This picture inspires me because these animals are sad and happy and that makes me remember that can be sad or happy in your writings. as you know im happy all the time. But sometimes im sad in my writings. I smile on the outside. But I could even be sad on the inside. But that is how my face is made. But my point is this inspire me because it helps me remember that you can be sad or happy in your writings.

  23. The picture reminds me of a WWE superstar and it tells me that when I grow up I can be WWE superstar. Superstars are people who win championship. This picture also reminds me about my PS 3 WWE 2klb, that's what I want for my birthday. This helps me to write about my dreams.

  24. I am going to bring a silly monster because when I don't know what to write about I think about something silly or funny. I write about something or someone and I include that in my writing. Also when I have something to write about but it is boring I look at the picture and I make it better by adding silly things.

  25. Bud believes: He has to lie to have a better life.

    My first reason why Bud lies to survive is that Bud has a list of rules for how to make a better liar out of himself so he can have a better life He thinks you have to lie to get out of situations easily.

    My last reason why Bud lies to survive is that Bud lied to the Amose’s and said that he wanted to go back to the orphanage because he knew that the Amose’s did not want to give him what he wanted. So he lies to get what he wants.
