Wake up in the  morning after a long night,

Get in the shower and go to school,

And it doesn’t feel quite right.

Passing by; getting little work done.

Dying to come home, hoping for some fun.

Home on Weikel street, nothing to look forward too.

Only the person who I die to see everyday,

And always puts me in a better mood.

Until it’s time to go home slugging my feet along the way,

I cannot wait for the very next day.

I walk in the door; children out of control,

I step up to get them ready for bed,

Only leaving madd; upon my face is red.

Thinking many thoughts getting lost in my head.

About how little i do,

I understand it’s not your fault;

But in the end I keep complaining how it all comes back to you.

To whom it may concern,

In my ninth grade English 1 class, we have read the story “Marigolds” by Eugenia W, Collier. Marigolds is a story about realistic things that go on in our world, childhood to adulthood, and the time where your desperately hoping for something and then having your hopes destroyed. These are things that are happening everyday. I felt that the story had a very good meaning to it and I was able to relate because young teens my age are going through the same thing. It’s mainly nature in life. We all hope for something and usually have our hopes destroyed. At the same my peers and I are growing up into young adults along with our new many responsibilites we have. The part of the passage that stood out to me the most was when the main character Lizabeth realized that her usual daily activities were becoming childish, which not to many people realize that they’re getting older it’s time to take life into a different perspective. I hope that you would take the time to reread the story from my perspective and learn to enjoy it like I did.

Thank you ,

6.) 3 million people were affected in the current disaster in Pakistan, and 73,00 people were killed.

1.)  The story, ” Thank you, Ma’am” is a story bout a young boy who tries to snatch an older woman’s purse. Although he does not succeed, the older woman takes him home to explain to him that he is wrong. Even if he needed the money or not, it’s good to ask for help, and that nobody does everything on their own. In my point of veiw the poem, “Mother to son” is a poem about a mother explaining to her son that she has had her troubles in her life and that things could always be worse, and that if he ever needs help, she will be there for him. The story and the poem relate because both authors are trying to get the point out that everyone has troubles, it’s a good thing to ask for help.

2.) If Mrs.Jones had not taken Roger home, his life could have been very different. Roger would have went on stealing other people’s belongings, and wind up going to jail, or even getting hurt. Roger would not have realized that people do care, and if he needs help he could just ask.
