1. Put yourself in place of one of the boys who escaped the crash but was forced to watch "helplessly as Rob died". What is going through your head? How do you feel physically and mentally ?How do you think that you will feel tomorrow?

If I were in the crash and 3 of us got out and one of my friends couldn't, I would be thinking it was my falt cause I crashed the car.Physically i would feel bad and mentally I would not want to go to school ever again.The next day after the crash I wouldn't want to look at myself or even get out of bed.

2. In a paragraph rich with sensory detail, write about your own most frightening moment.

My most frightening moment is when I was young and there was a tornado watch. My family and I left the house because the news said that the tornado was close to were I lived. So we left and when we got to town the tornado was coming our way. The lights in town were flashing, The powerlines were sparking and falling down on the road. There were tree branches on the road so it was hard to drive.It was raining really hard so we __couldnt__ see really well. Finally we got out of the town and kept driving __untill__ the tornado watch was over and it was __ok__ to go home. When we got home there were some trees down on the house right beside ours, and we thought they were really hurt. That was my most __frighten__ moment.

TB - watch run on sentnces. Sentence beginning with When.. Who did you think was hurt, the neighbors or the trees = misplaced modifier

3. In his homework assigment, Gerald writes that he would rid the world of 3 things. What 3 things would you rid the world of? Stick to concrete items, and back up your choices with personal reasons why you are eliminating them.

The first thing I would get rid-of in the world would be reading class, Because everybody should know how to read,thats one thing a parent should tech them when they are little.The second thing I would get rid-of in the world is old people driving and when I say old i mean 65. Because they drive so slow,when you get behind them you always yell and they wont hear you.The thrid thing i would get rid-of in the world would be interstates, why is there interststaes whern there could be roads to get to your destination. That is the 3 things I would get rid-of and why.

TB - to many errors in spelling
