HERES ALASKA! LAST CHATPER FOR TODAY!

Hello! I'm Alaska! I'm the second youngest state and I look just like my uncle Canada! I have his nice purple eyes and hair. I don't have glasses though. My little sister Hawaii is the youngest. Most people forget about me though because I'm not very close to the United States. So I hang with Canada and my wild friends. I have a lot of sled dogs too!

My state flower is the forget-me not. Most people forget about me, so I think that will help them not forget me. What most people don't know, is that we have gold. I remember when I showed Daddy the big chunk of gold found in my state! He was very proud and happy so he sent some people to go mine for gold. We don't have many people. Our population is only about 700,000 to 750,000. Sometimes people make fun of me and call me a Eskimo. I'm not! The Eskimo tribes were native American tribes! And we do NOT live in a snow fort. We live in normal houses like all of you.

You know what's so funny? I am twice as big as Texas, and I am 1/5 of the Union. And I am the second youngest. During the Gold Rush, we really liked potatoes. So sometimes we traded gold for it! I am very close to Russia. Not only is he my friend, he is only 55 miles away from me geographically. We also love bears! Bears everywhere. 1 bear= 21 People! We love bears. And lakes and ice!

We have beautiful scenery and coastlines. I wish people would come for vacation, but I guess it's too cold. Oh Well. I'm not one of the sunny states like Hawaii or Florida. When I visit the other states, I don't know what they are talking about. Like what is a pool? California is the quickest to answer. I know they can't stand all my questions, but I have to ask them. I want to grow my state and be popular like them.

FLASH BACK

"Daddy! Daddy look! LOOK!" a tiny Alaska said to America.

"Hold on bro's!" America yelled back to England and Spain.

"Ok buddy. What do you have to show me?" America asked his youngest son. "Look!" Alaska said as he pulled out a giant chunk of gold.

"Miners found this near a river. I wanted to show you! How much do you think it is worth?" Alaska asked not taking his eyes off of his father.

"Buddy that looks like it is worth a lot. HEY BRO'S! LOOK WHAT MY SON FOUND!" America really wanted to brag.

So America told his boss and his boss published a newspaper. Then the next day nearly 30,000 people went to Alaska to find gold. But only 4,000 actually found gold.

"Buddy, you did good," America said as he ruffled his sons hair.

"I did good," Alaska said as he stood next to his father.

All Alaska wanted to do was fit in with brother and sisters. He didn't want to be that one loner in the family. And they were a big family. 49 other people to compete with. The little state didn't have a chance. He spent most his time sledding or hunting game. He also spent some time with his favorite uncle and Russia.

Russia would listen to him. He always did. He knew what is was like to be different. He would sit next to him and let him talk for hours and not say a thing until he was done. And Alaska was thankful to have a friend listen to him and be there. The others thought he was weird because he liked to hang with Russia. They only thought that because America had said some stuff out Russia.

But Alaska would always be the Last Frontier.
