Stray

Dear, Mom

I want a puppy. I want a puppy because they’re big and good guard dogs. I can train it to go fetch the newspaper for dad. And don’t worry about the food I will pay it with my allowance. And the most Important reason is that they’re so furry and warm.

The first reason to get a dog is to keep the burglars away. The second reason is to train the dog to get the newspaper so dad doesn’t slip any more. You pay enough to get at least a bag of dog food a week so it will never go hungry. Ad the last reason is that when its cold inside you can snuggle with the dog to keep warm.

I know that the dog will be a drag for the first 12 or 6 months but I answered those little concerns. I promise that what any mess or accidents that happen. I will pick up and clean up. Oh yeah I almost forgot about the shots. I will pay half if you pay half. Does that sound fare to you.

I hope you accept the request. So please can we get a dog please.

Eleven By Sandra Cisneros

This story is about a little girl named Rachel who is about to turn 11. Her teacher forced her to have this big old long sweater. But it is not as a gift. The sweater wasn’t hers. Rachel is credible for three reasons.

Rachel is too shy. This is credible because many normal girls are shy. For example, Rachel was shy when the teacher said, “You put that sweater on right now and no more nonsense.” When she knew it wasn’t hers Rachel was shy to speak up and say that’s not my sweater.

Rachel cries of embarrassment. Rachel is very credible for that. A girl has her moment of embarrassment and cries during it. For instance Rachel was crying because her teacher made her wear the sweater during class. It looked funny to everybody on her so she was the laughing stalk.

Finally Rachel’s last credible moment was when she thinks she many different ages. That’s credible because once you get older there is still a little young in you. Like acting like a baby or begging for a toy. Furthermore Rachel thinks that there is still a 1 year old in you and 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11.

Thomas, Rudd March 3, 2009 Period2/3 Becky and the Wheels-and-Brake-Boys

The story “Becky and the Wheels-and-Brake-Boys” was written by James berry. The story line is about a girl named Becky who really wants a bike but doesn’t get it until the end of the story. Becky is a credible character. She shows that she is credible through what she fells, says, and does. Becky is believable because she wants to fit in with the other children. For instance, Becky thinks, “I only want to be with Nat Aldo, Jimmy, and Ben.” They all have, bikes and she wants one too, so she can ride and play with them. This proves that Becky is credible because lots of people have a time when they want something that will help them fit in with other kids. Becky keeps begging to her mother. Becky says. “I wanted a bike like Ben’s bike.” Becky wants to join the group Wheels-and Brake-Boys. Becky says to herself. “Over and over I told my mom I wanted a bike.” “I still want to have a bike badly.” Further in the story she tells her mother. “I still want to have a bike badly.” Finally, another reason that Becky is a credible character is because she always fought with her friends. As an example, Becky thinks, “For the first time me and Shirnette had a real fight, because of what I hated most.” Shirnette wanted to get back at Becky because Becky had put a centipede up her shirt, so she got even by putting a cockroach in Becky’s shirt. The conclusion, Becky, the main character in The Wheels-and-Brake-Boys is believable because of her emotions her words and her actions. That means she’s your average girl.
