What are some descriptive stories ideas?
Any idea that is interesting enough to you will be a good idea. You cannot write a story or novel based on ideas that someone else invents - you won't be interested enough in the subject to be able to research and write anything that will actually sell.
If you want someone to tell you what to write, ask your English teacher for an extra assignment -- that's what you're doing here, you know. Plus, anonymous people on the internet have no idea how old you are, what your interests are, or how well you can write!
In order to write, you need a personal connection to the subject. Write about whatever you enjoy, or whatever you find interesting, and you will end up with your novel or story.
What are some good sentence starters for middle school stories?
If you don't even have a sentence to start, you are not going to be able to write a whole book! I suggest you try a short short story and come up with ideas of your own.
Trying to write what some anonymous person on the internet tells you to write is going to make you so bored you'll quit writing in a day or so!
If you've gotten some of the book written and think you need some sort of fantastic "first sentence" then quit worrying about it! Just start the book where the action starts and don't get hysterical over what the first sentence or the title or the dedication is!
Start with something interesting. Something which makes the reader want to ask questions and know more. Something which makes them want to read the rest.

How do you write narrative story about an incidence that has happened to some one?
In order to write a narrative story, you just pretend you're talking to your friends and telling them all about the incident.
Write what you would say in your tale, starting with the beginning of the incident and going all the way through to the end. Stories are just that: people telling other people something that happened, whether it's a real incident or fiction.

Should a novel be written in first person?
That's a individual choice of the writer, and it depends on the type of novel. The First person focuses the narrative, it is usually one person's story. It's also more personal, it's easier to connect to the character.
The third person is more distant as the story does not take place directly inside a character. Having said that, if you're writing something that involves multiple story lines, third person would be more practical.
It depends on how similar they are and how famous the other work is.
In your example, you said you named your characters 'constructs.' The word "construct" is a common word, so it might be alright to use it as a descriptive word. However, if another author who is more famous than you has a group of creatures who seem almost identical to yours and are called the same thing, then you might have accidently picked up the idea from that author and you should pick a different name and change them a bit. Otherwise, the original author could sue you for copying him.
You might check a thesaurus and find other terms that mean the same thing, or even invent a word yourself and say it's these characters' name for themselves.
How do you write a dialog between two friends discussing inflation?
Writing dialogue is not as hard as you're letting it seem. You have dialogue all the time -- it's called talking. If you honestly cannot think of what your characters are going to say to one another, you need to go take a break and go somewhere out in public. Sit somewhere in the middle of a crowd for one to two hours and just listen to people talking. Then, go home and write down some of the things you heard people saying. That's dialogue.
When you need to have your characters talk, just pretend it's you and a friend (or several friends), and have them say something you'd probably say in the same situation. Then imagine what your friends would say in reply, and go back and forth that way. As you become a better writer, your characters themselves will "tell" you what they want to say, because they become like real people to you.

A legend is a story that has been passed down through so many generations that everyone recognizes it. You can't really write one - that is, you can write a good story, but it won't become a legend for centuries. Even famous stories like The Lord of the Rings isn't considered a legend, but a work of fiction. Many legends also explain something, like how a natural phenomenon came to be, so most of them involve some sort of explanation that sounds a little silly to us in the modern era. Some examples of legends would be stories about ancient gods, the legend of Robin Hood or King Arthur. You might consider just writing a good story, and letting someone else decide if it could eventually be a legend or not.

How are character traits revealed through thoughts dialog and actions?
Characters can be shown through their dialogue just as through description! Actually, "hearing" a character speak gives you a better idea of who they are.
When writing dialogue, give each of your characters a specific way of speaking - do they use long words or short words? Do they curse a lot or not at all? Do they speak in complete sentences or just short, broken fragments? Thoughts are just dialogue that never makes it out of the mouth, so it's just as good at describing the character.
Also give each character specific mannerisms and actions, so that the reader will recognize them instantly. In this way, your characters will be more lifelike and believable.
