I rode the mini bike into the side of Mr. Robinson's new car parked on the street. I looked at his car and felt bad for what I did. As I scraped myself off of the ground, I knew I was in for it. I told my mother what had happend and she made me put the bike away. I was not allowed to
ride it for a month. ( how could you rewrite this paragraph and make it more interesting)

I crashed my bike into Mr. Robinson's new car. As I picked myself up I examined his car; I knew I was in trouble. The brand new car had been scratched; the scratches stood out against the exterior like a sore thumb. I went back home in fear of the punishment i would get from my mom. She told me i was not allowed to use my bike for a month.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

martians or other types of aliens represent a unique fear as opposed to zombies. vampires and other types of monsters.   in most sci-fi stories, aliens come from other worlds and have different or more advanced technology.   abductions and experimentation on human bodies that involve these technologies, or the use of these technologies against human beings and the use of unknown "powers", are a type of fear that's different from that of other types of monsters.
