Here is a proficient example:
Okay, this is an easy question. Who wouldn't want a unicorn horn over a squirrel tail!? Unicorns are awesome! The first reason I would like to have a unicorn horn is the fact that unicorns are in the top five of my favorite animals. Second, unicorn horns look very stylish. Everything goes with unicorn horns!! (They are also any color of the rainbow!) The third reason why I would want a unicorn horn is that they are magical! Unicorns tilt their head forward and then magic shoots out the top! How cool is that? Although I think unicorn horns are awesome, (and they are.) Some people would argue that a squirrel's tail is better. A squirrel's tail could help you climb trees, swing, and play some sports. But a squirrel's tail is only brown and doesn't even squirt out magic! When you compare a unicorn horn to a squirrel's tail, the squirrel's tail looks like a dead plant. I would surly choose a unicorn horn over a squirrel's tail.
If I had the choice to have a unicorn horn or a squirrel tail I would rather have a squirrel tail because I could grab things with it. For example, I could be laying down on my couch playing x-box and it was down to the final two people, I could take my hands off the controler I could just use my squirrel tail to grab it. Although, some people might want a unicorn horn because it can give you magical powers or make you famous, I would say no because I don't like unicorns. I would rather have a squirrel tail because I could grab things with it.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice between a unicorn horn and a squirrel tail, I would choose a squirrel tail. If you had a tail you could do cool things like climbing and other stuff. Some may argue that a unicorn horn is better because unicorns are awesome,but if you had a unicorn horn you wouldn't be able to do anything with it. That is why I think a squirrel's tail is better than a unicorn horn.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice between having a unicorn horn or a squirrel's tail, I would choose a squirrel's tail. I would choose this because it would help you trees and other things. Also, you would be able to swing form some things. Finally, it would help you to have balance, so you wouldn't fall down a lot, and you could walk on top of things that weren't very wide across. However, some people might prefer to have a unicorn's horn because they can be magical. I think that a squirrel's tail would be much better than a unicorn's horn.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a Unicorn horn than a squirrel tail. Unicorn tails are magical because they can make a rainbow. Unicorns also can give magic to others with their horn. Finally, Unicorn horns look stylish. They can be any color! However, some people may want a squirrel tail because they are bushy and warm. You could also whack someone with your tail. But a Unicorn horn looks better than a squirrel tail, and really can a squirrel produce magic? NO! The squirrel tail is also not that good looking if you know what I mean. I would choose a Unicorn horn over a squirrel tail any day!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between having a unicorn horn or a squirrel tail. I would have a unicorn horn because I could have magical powers. For example, I could shoot stuff with my horn. Although, some may argue having a squirrel tail would be better because you could climb up with it or have the advantage of grabbing things in a game show.I think having a unicorn horn benefits having a squirrel tail.
ReplyDeleteIf I could have a squirrel tail or a unicon horn I would Have a unicorn horn. Unicons are awesome! I could be one of those people that dress up as unicorn at kids partys and i would look realy realistic, and I could make some ca$h.Finally I would be able to do really cool hair styles! Some may like having a squirrel tail because they could grad thing with it, but it would look really weird. I would want a unicorn hair.
ReplyDeleteThis is the easiest question out of all we've had. Who wouldn't like a unicorn horn? Unicorns are so majestic. For example, unicorns are my favorite animal. Second, unicorns have bright colors, and they go with everything. The third reason is unicorn horns are magical. Fairy dust could come out of the top. You never know what happens with unicorns!!! That is awesome right? Although I think unicorn horns are amazing. (which they are) Some may argue that a squirrel tail is better because you can climb trees, swing, and play sports with your squirrel tail. It doesn't shoot fairy dust though. Unicorn horns are so much better than a squirrel's tail!!!
ReplyDeleteI think having a squirrel tail is better than having a unicorn horn. First, I would use it as an extra arm. Also, I could do cool tricks with it. For example, hang from a bar with my tail. Finally, I could walk with it if one of my leg hurts. However, some may argue that having a unicorn horn would be better because it would look better. This is why I would choose a squirrel tail over a unicorn horn.

ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice to choose between having a unicorn horn or a squirrel tail I would rather have a squirrel tail. In my opinion you would probably become a squirrel or evolve into a squirrel. I could be the squirrel before Mrs Boon. This the reason I would rather have a squirrel tail.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a unicorn horn because it will be out of my way and I think it would look weird cool.
ReplyDeleteI would choose a unicorn horn because it has "magical powers." I could fight against burglars and robbers with it. Plus, i wouldn't want to have a dirty tail behind me all the time. Those were my reasons for why I would rather have a unicorn horn.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between a squirrel tail or unicorn horn it would depend on the type. I always thought you could shoot rainbows and laysers and play obnoxiously loud music with a unicorn horn, but I have heard that unicorns can read people's mind with a it's horn. Though a unicorn horn wouldn’t be bad I think I would have to choose a lovely squirrel tail because it would be pretty and my favorite superhero (well next to Good Boy) is Squirrel Girl and she has the ability to talk to squirrels and climb like a squirrel and she has a squirrel tail too.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice to have a unicorn horn or a squirrels tail I would choose a squirrels tail I would choose a squirrels tail because You could tickle people with it and you can do what dogs do and run around in circles trying to catch it. Also, I think unicorns are fake which they are so there is no point in looking like a silly doofus with a stick that sticks out of your head. However, some may argue they would rather have a unicorn because they believe in them and think they are magical. Over all, I would rather have a squirrels tail because of these reasons.
ReplyDeleteif I had the choice to have a squirrels tail or an UNICORN horn I would chose an UNICORN horn. I would chose an UNICORN horn because, you can do soooooooooooo much more with an UNICORN horn than a squirrels tail. For example, With an UNICORN horn you could make a squirrel tail if you just couldn't decide.
