Dear Mom,

I had always wanted a dog mom and I was thinking you could buy me one. I think that a dog would really make a really good house pet. Another reason is because it is fun and that you can train it. The next reason is because it helps you and relaxes. The last reason that dogs are good is because they make you happy and they can make you smile.

Dogs would really make a good house pet because they obey what you tell them most of the times. One more reason is because they can protect our house from strangers and because if we have a dog our house can be 63% protected from being robbed. You can make a dog really useful in our house because they can train to do things that can help you with your chores like fetching us the newspapers. A dog can help you relax because you can pet it and also because it can lower stress. The next reason is because when your down our dog can make you feel happy by doing it’s tricks and more amusing things.

Eleven

The story that I’m writing about is called the story is called Eleven. The story is written by Sandra Cisneros. It was about a girl named Rachel who’s eleventh birthday got ruined in school. Her teacher Mrs. Price also ruined her birthday. She ruined Rachel’s birthday by giving her an ugly red sweater. I believe that Rachel is credible she is a very shy girl in front of other people. “ That’s not, I don’t, you’re not, not mine”. This quote proves that Rachel is a very believable character.

I also believe that Rachel is credible because she is very, very dramatic. “When you are eleven, your ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, and one. What Rachel tries to say in that quote is that you can’t hide the younger you. This paragraph shows that Rachel is very realistic and very credible.

Also I believe that Rachel is credible because she is a very quiet children. “ I open my mouth and nothing came out”. This quote Rachel tries to prove that she is real because she showed emotion of being frightened. This sentence proves that Rachel is very credible.

In my conclusion I believe that Rachel is very credible because she has a lot of emotions and feelings and because she wanted to argue against the teacher about the sweater. Another reason is because she is very very quiet and timid person. The last reason is because she is very shy person.

Becky

The story I’m writing about is Becky and the Wheels-and-Brakes Boys. James Berry wrote the book Becky and the Wheel-and-Break Boys. Character credibility is when a book’s character is compared to a real person. Becky is credible because she acts like a real person because she wanted to have a bike like every kind of children would. First of all, Becky is a credible because she begs her mom for what she wants, a bike. As Becky says, “Over and over I told mom I wanted a bike.” She really wants a bike more than anything, so she pleads to her mom. This proves that Becky is a realistic character because a lot of kids bug their parents for what they want. Secondly, Becky is a believable character because she fought with her friend and got angry with her. Becky thinks to herself, “ For the first time Shirnette and me had a real fight because of what I hated most.” She was mad at her best friend because Shirnette let a cockroach fly down on Becky’s blouse. She is credible because girls frequently fight with each other. The third reason why Becky is credible is because she ask for some help to learn how to ride a bike. Becky ask the Wheel-and-Brake Boys, “Can somebody teach me to ride?” Becky ask the Wheel-and-Brake Boys. Becky doesn’t have a bike because in her neighborhood girls aren’t encourage to ride them. She wants to be a part of a group, so she asks the boys to teach her a new skill. Becky stands up for what she wants just llike any kind would. In conclusion, Becky’s action emotions, and words prove she is a credible character. You might even know someone in your neighborhood. Or it can even be you.
