Dear Spiro Athanas,
Hello There, My name is Jesus Shmall Leonard. In your story '' A Bag Of Oranges " I liked the it. Because It was a story of a boy who had a argumemt with his father, but after that argument he had with his father, then his father got into a car accident. The only reason that he was arguing with his father because he thought he was such an abarssing father to be with, just like the time when they were on the bus and he was abarring him then. And when he got hurt, he blamed himself for what happened to him.
I remebered that my cousin had a love one. Which was him and his older brother. They got into a big fight with each other, btu when it was all over, in a hour later we heard on the news that he got shot in the head by a gang banger, when being jumped on. And what caused the jump on was that his brother was already mad eariler, and the gang banger said something stupid, which mad his brother mad. So they got into a fight, and a couple of other guys joined in, and one of them shot him in the head. My cousin blamed it on himself because of that fight they had with each other. He was saying that if him and his brother did not fight, he would of came home earlier.
This is the same way as the boy father being hurt and killed after they big argument. And when they did they blamed it on themselves because they thought they killed their loved one, over soemthing they did. Which they should not be blamed for their death.
Sincerely,
Jesus S Leonard

In the story The jacket," I was reminded of when I was in 5th grade and I had a ring that I wore everyday in school. Everytime I wore the ring it gave me luck. It helped me pass my test, and it helped me through rough days, and etc... But when I went to 6th grade, It had gotten too small for me and I was upset, because my finger was too big for my ring. But in a few weeks later, I got over it, because I notced that I did not need it anymore, to make my day better, or my grades.
This story is about a boy who needed a new jacket and he wore it everyday to school. And he was very, very hurt, and embarrassed of it because of the way it looked, he got C's on quizzes and forgot the state capitals and the rivers of South America. It was just not his day, that was not supposed to happened that day in school.
But I really have insterested with this book because It reminds me that my sister was the same way, when that day she did not like the shoes she had on, but them was the only shoes she had that she could only fit.

Dear Eugenia Collier
I Think that the story Marigold was terrific, Because Its about a woman named Miss Lottie who had marigolds that was in her yard, and it was always someone that hated them, of them saying, (the memory of those marigolds flashes across my mind, a strange nostalgia comes with it and remain long after the picture has faded. I feel again the chaotic emotion of adolescence, illusive as smoke, yet as real as the potted geranium before me now.Joy and Rage and wild animal gladness and shame become tangled together in the multicolored skein of fourteen going on fifteen as I recall that devastating moment when I was suddenly more woman that child, years ago in Miss Lotties's yard).
When I heard of the word Marigolds as the title I thought this story was about one person's life about how that person found something, like say for example, they found gold because of the word Marigolds, or something that made that person's life better in life. And my second thought was that I thought the story was about flowers. But I just have one question. What was the point and the reason for you to make this story about Marigolds? Because this story reminded me of my old friend and his new next door niebor.
Sincerely,
Jesus Leonard

Noble Street
I believe charging student for being bad is a bad idea. Most people might not have the money to pay everytime their children are being bad, cause parents have other things to do with their money, like money for food, cloths, bills, and other things that is important to stay and live in a home. So I dont think that would be the great idea to punish the students for. Because how about if the wrong student be blamed on the wrong thing then they would be paying for something they did not do.
But when bad students have to pay up to the school for being bad. Then the school can use the money for alot of important things, Like to make the school took better than it is. Like making the school looks better in buying more books for the students, getting more uniforms to wear for the students, or like more seats and desks for the students to sit in, and etc..etc...
So maybe if the students would stop becoming bad children maybe there wont be changes just to get the students good then bad, but having their family to pay, I dont think thats good at all to do. And if the students was not doing so bad then maybe they can have higher sscores in schools and high attendance.

Are Videos Games Violence
Video games are not violence because not all are dangerous. I know that I have played the video games and not anything happened to me. Because some games are some also non voilence and more Educational. Also many other I knew play video games and do not copy or reacted from them. I think this is why I say is not violence.
Video games are not dangerous because video games can also help children learn from playing them. Like little children in under age can learn from video games that are educational to help them do alot of things.
They say that video games can help people get off the street but I dont think it's true. But anyway video games are good and fun enough for everybody in the world. So It cant be dangerous for a person, it should be fun for a person who loves to play them.
Video games can help bring families together in a way. Families have so much fun of playing these games with their children and others in the situation of playing the video games with each other. This kind of thing with a real family can help bring a family together. It can also help a person's day feels better after they had a really, really bad day. Thats why I believe that video games are not violent.
