Homework "Pleas"

  I'm an outgoing person, and I like to do different types of outdoor activities. Therefore, I prefer to have physical touch with others. When doing outdoor activities, I have chances to talk to others. If they share to me that they are in needs, I can give them a hand immediately. In addition, my relationship with my friends will be deepened after they get helps from me. Furthermore, doing some sports with others together will strength my body. I notice that having more physical touch with others in doing something will be able to learn leadership, communication, and cooperation skills. All these skills are very useful for my future life. I also like to do some physical works, such as doing gardening, cleaning the house, and mowing the lawn. My body becomes stronger and healthier than before. There are so many advantages on being physical, so it is the reason why I prefer physical.

The trial of Tom Robinson's case began to come to a head. There were many people going to the church during weekend, even Mr.Underwood who never went there before. Last night, my father left home with an electrical lightbulb. My brother and I asked if we could go with him together, but he refused. I felt very disappointed. However, my brother suggested to go out and find our father. Then, we went to our father's office. However, we didn't see him at the office. Finally, we saw him sitting outside the county jail. He was reading his book with the lightbulb. Later, a group of men came to the jail and spoke to my father. I ran to them, and I saw Mr.Cunningham there. I tried to speak friendly to him, so they wouldn't hurt my father. I told Mr.Cunningham that I had invited his son to our home for lunch. He smiled to me and promised me not to hurt my father. Then, Mr.Cunningham and his friends left.

Last night, I felt something moving under my bed. I found out that Dill hid under the bed. Dill told me that his parents seemed not interested in him. His parents locked him in the basement. Therefore he stole some money and escaped from the family. After my brother listened to his story, he suggested Dill to give a phone call to his parents. This morning, my father knew that Dill was staying in our home. He didn't say anything and just phoned Dill's parents to ask them to let Dill to stay with us.

My father told me a bad news. He said that aunt Alexandra decided to stay at my house for a while. Aunt Alexandra arrived today, and started to introduce herself in the neighborhood. When she saw me, she was angry and said girls had to wear dresses. I really didn't like anyone who forced me to do something. In the afternoon, she wanted my brother and me to know the history of our family, and how famous our grandparents were. My father had never told us any of these stories before. He only told me that my cousin, Josh went insane at university. I don't like aunt Alexandra to stay with us and I hope that she will leave soon.

My father had to go to an important meeting this week. Therefore, Calpurnia took me and my brother to the church where were all blacks. I found out that they did everything just same as white people’s churches. In the church, a black woman named Lula tried to tell Calpurnia that we were white people. We shouldn’t be in that place. However, Calpurnia told Lula that my father was very nice to black people. Lula finally allowed us to stay in the church. I found out something very interesting in Calpurnia. In the church, Calpurnia spoke English with accent, but she could speak proper English at home.

Today was my first day in grade two. However, I found out that school was very boring. On the way home, my brother told me that he got his pants back. He found out his pants which were folded and sewed up. After the sharing of my brother, I finally believed that Boo was still living. He was a good person, not like what the rumor was saying.
