Bieber Fever

Author's note: My goal in this writing piece is to have a good description of one of my favorite movies... Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.


Once I hear the songs Never Say Never or Somebody to Love or any other songs by Justin bieber my heart just melts. That’s because I have a disease called Bieber fever! I’ve had this disease ever since I had seen Justin Bieber’s documentary.

This documentary is all about Justin’s adventure through becoming a worldwide sensation he is today. It also shows all of his struggles his family and him went through while he was growing up. Like how his father and mother had gotten divorced when he was 2 or 3 months old. So he grew up without a father most of the time. Even though alot of good things came out of that. Like he always got to play at his grandma and grandpa’s house, or him gowing up around the church. The church was also where he began his music.

When he was 12 years old he entered Stratford Idol, which was the local singing contest in his hometown Stratford, Canada. While all the other contestants have been singing for years and had vocal coaches he came in 2nd place! After that contest he had started putting his videos on youtube. His videos had soon gone viral by having 10,000,000 views a week. Then one week someone that had watched some of his videos was a music manager named Scooter Braun. Scooter works for Raymond Braun Media group. Scooter had arranged Justin to meet Usher. Right away they had hit it off. Usher had taken Justin under his wing and had decided to mentor him.

In 2009 Justin’s first album came out called My World; it was a big hit right away. Many people around the world really liked it, ecspecially the girls. After My World came out he had a concert at Madison Sqaure Garden. The tickets sold out within 28 minutes of them being sold to the public. That’s the fastest Madison Sqaure Garden had ever sold out before.

After that concert he went straight to work on a new album which later was called My World 2.0. That album had had some of his hits like Baby, Somebody to love, Eenie meenie, runaway love, Stuck in the moment and many more! It was loved by critics everywhere right away. This album was released in 2010.

After his ablum; My World 2.0 was released he had begun his next alum right away. Once this album was done he began something huge. He began his documentary called; Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.This movie was bigger than all his abums combined and on opening day, if you had seen the movie in 3-D you get purple glasses. A few weeks after the documentary came out they put out another version of this movie that has 42 more minutes than the normal documentary. Even though this movie was out for half the time I’m pretty sure it almost caught up to how many people saw it compared to the normal documentary. This movie told you about his life story even more than I just did. This movie was so touching that if you saw it you’d be as big of a fan as I am.

The Lying Game

Author's note: My goal in this writing piece is to have a good description of this T.V series and to have a good beginner sentence/paragraph.

Once I hear The song Rumor has it by Adele I rush to sit down as my favorite show starts; The Lying Game. This show has alot of things you don't expect that will happenin this show, for example long lost twins, a really big house in Arizona, a really annoying foster brother and much, much more.

This story starts out with the main character 17 year old Emma living with her evil foster mom Clarice and her super evil and annoying foster brother Travis. She lives with them in Vegas. One day when Emma was skyping her long lost twin sister Sutton, Travis barged in and started teasing Emma, so she slammed her laptop down so Travis wouldn't know about Sutton. Travis kept teasing her and she got really irritated and threatened that if he kept annoying her she would hit him with her tennis racket. She was kidding of course, but Travis didn't know that so he got really mad at her. He took some money from his mom's purse and put it into Emma's bag. When Clarice was asking them where it was Travis had said, "Why don't you look in Emma's bag I saw her in your room earlier today."

Then Clarice looked in Emma's bag and sure enough, Travis had put the money in there to frame Emma and get her kicked out. When Emma was packing Travis had exclaimed, "I guess you shouldn't have threatened to hit me with the tennis racket huh?"

Then it all came to Emma, 'Of course he tricked Clarice into thinking I stole the money because he thought I would actually hit him with my tennis racket,' Then she got an idea. Later when Travis had left she had skyped Sutton and asked if she could stay with her. She had said yes! When Travis walked in later that day and Emma had made her grand escape by hitting him with her tennis racket and jumping out the window. She ran as fast and as far as she could until she reached the train station and bought a ticket and headed to Phoenix, Arizona. That's where Sutton lives.

Once she got there Sutton found her and pulled her into the bathroom. Sutton immediatly started explaining how she was going to Las Angelos to look for their long lost mom, and how she needed Emma to stay and take her place. Emma had happily agreed because she never knew what it was like to have a nige family that she could call her own... Even if it was for only a few months.

Once Sutton and Emma's birhtday came around Sutton had returned. Emma hadn't found out Sutton was back until she had come home from tennis practice to find Sutton waiting for her on her bed. Sutton had filled Emma in on everything she had learned, liked how their mother's name was Annie Hobbs, or how their mother was in an insane asylum.When Sutton had finally told Emma how she wanted her life back Emma had said no not until the end of the party.

Sutton had gotten so mad that she had stolen her families old car and drove off. When Sutton had started driving it had started down pouring. Sutton couldn't see the road very well, so all of a sudden she sees headlights. And they are headed straght toward her! She swerved off the road, and accidently drove into the lake! Then my T.V. blacks out and the credits start to roll on.

The Tortuous Basketball

Author's note: My goal in this writing piece is to describe what it was like to have basketball practice during christmas break at nine in the morning.



BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. I turned my alarm clock off and lazily walk to the dresser. On my way over I think quietly to myself, 'Why did coach fetherston have to have an early practice?' I kept thinking this over and over while I was getting ready for basketball.


When I finally finished getting ready I headed down stairs for breakfast. I put my hair up in a pony and put my head band in. Then I had put my shoes in my basketball bag, and started eating breakfast. Then out of no where I hear my mom yell,"Zoe the Clarks are here hurry up!"


I run out the door as fast as my leg will move when they are still half-asleep. When I hop into my friends car i feel the warmth of the heater rush through me and i feel like crawling into my bed and fall asleep agian. When I buckle my seatbelt it feels as if I am wrapping a blanket around me and i start to drift off.


When i feel the car stop I slowly unbuckle and grab my bag and then I step out of the warm comforting car into the cold, crisp air. My friend and I run into the gym as fast as we can so we don't freeze out here. Once we reach the inside of the school we sit down and start putting on our basketball shoes. We finally finish tying the laces and walk into the gym.


We each grab a ball and start shooting around. Our coach blows hardly into his whistle and we run to him like a pack of wolves do to a piece of meat. We form a huddle and he starts giving us a lecture about how we have to practice hard today.


Finally practice is over and my friend and I head to her car and she drives me home. Once I got home I ate like a pig, then took a nap.
