Ghost Story; The Sheriff

There was once a guy called Osafo Blue Luis. He was a sheriff in a town in Amarillo,Texas. He was successful in life. He was married and had triplets. They were boys and they were only 7 years old. He was a Captain in the Police Department. He also loved playing football. One day him and his friend went to a bar and drank and drank. They then decided to go to the border and cross it to get to Mexico which was a bad idea.
When they crossed the border illegally and in some strange way, They were seen by border patrol and chased for a while. Osafo decided to pick up a object that looked like a gun. It was really dark out side and windy. Osafo came up with the dumb idea and point it at the police patrol so the patrol shot him and killed him right on the spot. The rest of hes friends left and were never seen again. People say they died or got killed. Osafo's family were terrified. Osafos ghost haunts the border so any body that goes near the border gets hurt or killed just by hes ghost and spirit.

Title: Make Lemonade.
Author: Virginia Euwer Wolff

Today in class i read The book Make Lemonade. In class we all read for 30 minutes. During those 30 minutes i read about 35 page. The book is not boring but at the same time not interesting. Before I started reading the book I asked my self question's. One question that I asked my self was why did Verna Lavaughn become a babysitter Verna is one of the main characters in this book. Today while I read I found out the answer to my question. She became a babysitter because her mother didn't have enough money to pay for all her college tuition. She only could afford half of it. So Verna looked for a job as a babysitter for she can pay the rest of her tuition when she goes to college

How does the information in the box " A day in the life (of me!)" help the reader understand the article?

The information in the box in " A day in the life (of me!) helps the me understand the article because it explains what she's doing in her life mostly every day. For example, in the text it says that she Stretches from 1:30 till 2:00. Theres more things she does and its timed, its a schedule.
So, everyday she works and does things that the schedule says.

Make Lemonade
Author: Virginia Euwer Wolff

Today in class I read Make Lemonade. Ms.Johns told us to read for 25 minutes so we did. The book at the moment is very interesting. The reason why is because the main character LaVaughn. She wants to go to college so she talks to her mother about it constantly. Her mother says that she doesn't have money for that at the moment. Then later on she said that she had some money for the college. So LaVaughn's Mother made a bank account for her. In the mean while LaVaughn is babysitting and were she is babysitting she pretty much hates it. Theres cockroaches always on the walls and every were else. Also that theres a mess in the house and she can't even place a book any were to study. She is also very very more a school girl because she loves to go to school and she loves to study and do all her work. In the book i ask my self why is there like a different chapter after almost every 2 pages.
I Think that the author named this book Make Lemonade because LaVaughn has to squeeze her way through everything. Like babysitting and saving money for she can pay for her college. Also i think that LaVaughn is going to quit babysitting because she just can't hardly work there babysitting in house that is so dirty. But it's going to be difficult for her to find a new job if she quits because she has a lot of stuff on her. Because she has to worry about good grades, Save money, and always talk to her mom about college.
