Colby-M

I chose the character lecia. Her character trait is independant. She does her best not relying on anyone. She thinks things through and thinks about her uncles advice to help them. She says, "we have to stay together.",showing she knows what to do in this kind of situation. When she treated maggie she used her skills to help maggie's feet. She thought fast about things that happened and since she did that they were able to survive. When they were in trouble, kind of like chuck, she used experience to make it through the blizzard.

 * //Paragraph//

I __deeply resent__ our city council’s granting permission for the development of fifty condominiums along Canyon Drive. The plain truth is, __the plan stinks__! Most residents of Canyon Drive are people like me who moved here years ago. We were attracted by the peace of the location. Now, for __no good reason__, we __have been betrayed__ by our elected officials. We face the __nightmare__ of listening to the __racket of construction work around the clock__ and of seeing our lovely neighborhood turned into heaven knows what. The prospect __makes me sick__. It is __maddening__ that the city council, in one __careless decision__, can __destroy__ the lifestyles that we have worked so hard to achieve. I urge all members of this community to sign a petition forcing the city council to reverse their decision. Failing that, we should __vote the bums out of office__!


 * TONE**: The speaker’s/author’s attitude about the city council’s decision on development was //frustrated, angry, disgruntled, aggravated// ||
