My wish is to go back in time. I would go back first to medieval times to visit King Arthur. While I was there I would wear a long ball gown and go dancing with handsome knights. Then I would time travel to the battle of Troy. While I was there I would talk to Achilles and tell him that I don’t think he was very brave, and that he might change his mind about killing Hector because he really is a nice person. Then I would say, “Good bye!” and go visit people in the great depression. I would tell them it will be okay and that things will straighten out eventually. Then I would come right back home and find out that the things I said changed history in a bad way because now all the books would say that Hector and Achilles became friends after all and didn’t fight. That would be no good because then Odysseus couldn’t have his adventures. So I guess it would be fun to see those things but in the end it would mess up history. That’s probably why they haven’t made a time travel machine yet. :-)

Wonderful. The last part made me laugh and the entire thing was very nicely written. Time-traveling would be a rather interesting skill to have but I agree that it would probubly create more problems then it would solve.

That's an awesome wish! I really like the King Arthur story so I definitely agree with you there. The Great Depression part was really nice. All in all, a fantastic wish!
That's awesome! Time traveling would be really cool in my opinion. I wished to have a cat but I could've done that too.
I like how you came to the conclusion that time-travel sounds fun until you start thinking about the possible consequences. Very nicely written!
Dearest Delaney,
I read a book where the person who went back in time could never change the events that had already occurred, because they were in the past and the past has already happened. Even his being in the past (from the present) was part of the past already, so nothing changed. It was pretty crazy to think about.
I do like the logic you applied to you wish, though. Wishes are best when they turn out well in the end!
Love,
Aunt Beckie
