Monopoly

Chapter 1: No Choice.

I was sitting on my bed reading Charlotte's Web for school. What a way to spend a Saturday morning instead of watching cartoons full of anvils and laughs.

I finished chapter 21 out of 22 but I had to finish it by Monday and write a 10 paragraph report about the story.

My name is Jack Roberts. I am 8 years of age and in 2nd grade. Hey I was born on Christmas alright. I'm tall for my age. I'm even taller than my 10-year old sister, Rachel. We have another brother but he's in college. He's planning on being an engieneer.

But what I hate the most is playing Monoploly. Oh, boy. That is my sister's favorite game but I hate that game. Oh, my sister will beg, and, beg, beg, beg, beg, beg, and beg me to play but I always say no. After our brother left 6 months ago she always wants me to play.

Well I had finished the 21st chapter when my sister said, "Will you please play Monopoly with me?"

I said, "No."

"Pleeeeeeaaaaaassssee!" she whined.

Well I was bored and I have almost finished my book so I said, "ALRIGHT!"

Her eyes brightened. "Really?"

I nodded.

"Good," she said. "Because the game is all set up."

Chapter 2: Goodbye Boardwalk and Park Place

The game was all set with us each having $1500 each.

The game started out badly.

I landed on Chance and got sent to jail. My sister landed on Community Chest and got to get $200 extra dollars. I rolled the dice 11 times and didn't get doubles. I finally payed the $50. And by the time I was out my sister had gotton Boardwalk and Park Place and had put hotels on each of them. And then on my next turn I rolled a double. And another double. And another double which got me sent to Jail again. but I happened to buy St. James Place and Tenesse Ave.

Chapter 3: The endless game.

After 5 hours of playing I was getting tired but the game still was going on. I had gone to Jail 10 times and my sister only 2. Both time she had a get out of Jail free card. She had $2,000 dollars and I had $40 and a place morgaged.

The place I had morgaged was the Electric Company. I went 5 turns without landing on my sister's properties and she went 5 turns landing on my property with $200. She had only 2 propeties. Because she thought Boardwalk and Park Place was good enough.

But then there was a turn.

Chapter 4: The Turn

I had payed back my morgage.

It was Rachel's turn. She rolled the die. She landed on Pennsylvania Ave. and it was my property. It had a hotel on it and so she owed me $1,400. But even with all her property morgaged and all her money she couldn't pay it.

I had won and oh, wait my sister said that if I won I would get her comic book and If she won she would get my favorite book.
