**The Boy who Lived with the** **Bears** The boy had to live with his uncle. His uncle did not like him. He was very mean to the boy and fe a d him scraps to eat. First, the uncle took the boy to the woods, put him in a cave and left him. The animals the animals that lived in the woods got him out of the cave. The boy got to choose what animal to live with and he chose the bears. Then one day the uncle went back to the woods. The boy saw his uncle and told the uncle what he thought about him. The boy forgave the uncle. Now the boy, uncle, and bears live together as a big happy family. Lesson learned: "Parents and elders should always treat children well and to show as much love in their hearts as a bears hold s in thier hearts for kids." Please, do not use the green font in the future because it's difficult to read. -- Mr. Cook

The author put that in the story because it shows the bad things that can happen in a blizzerd. Also,‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ it makes it so the kids understand why they have to stay together ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍. Blizzards are very dangerous. They can injure you or possiblie kill you. Also Lecia did not want Chuck to die on his own.

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍I Chose Chuck. Chucks character trait would be resourceful. He help Lecia carry the kids from the buring bus to the willow trees. Lecia could not have done it on her own. Chuck did no have to stay. After they get to the willows Chuck started a fire. Chuck carried a pocket knife and maches with him. The kids would have been cold if Chuck did not have maches. Chuck helps Lecia with everything. Also at the end of the story Chuck said "I found a critter". The critter was the calf frozen. That provided food for the kids. The kids only had one meal other than the calf. I think Chuck is a good character, he never said it was cold or he was hungry, he never complained. The story ‍‍ would not have been as good without Chuck. The kids would have died if Chuck was not there.‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍

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__! I dont really like the idea of condominums coming to Canyan Drive. Residents moved here for peace and quiet. All we hear though is tools making lots of noise. I am sure we could do something about that. With all do and respect i would perfer that that condominums dont come to Canyan Drive. We could move the condominums somewhere else, it would be better for all of us and the would be no fighting. I respect anything and everything you do and in hope no feeling were hurt. -Kelsey Arnold

 * Dear City Council,

The Stone I would have asked for a new pair of tall black uggs. I have tryed vainly to get a pair but they are too expensive. When I see them I gape because they are so pretty. Also uggs never become threadbare because they always look good. When my mom ask me how bad I want those uggs I retort "very badly". ||

"Doc Rabbit, Bruh Fox, and Tar Baby" Choose one of the tricksters in "Doc Rabbit, Bruh Fox, and Tar Baby" and describe how the author uses humor to express that character. In your responce, use specific details and examples that show how the author creates humor. Doc Rabbit is the one one I chose because he made a scary noise witch is "Whooo- Hoo", that is funny because it scared Bruh Fox. Doc Rabbit did that to Bruh Fox a couple times. Also when Doc Rabbit kicked and hit the Tar Baby it was funny. Another funny event was when Doc Rabbit used reverse psycology to trick Bruh Fox into throwing him into the briars. Doc Rabbit is a very smart and funny because he tricks people and its funny.
