solving a problem on the street

Expository essay


The serious problem on the street is kids almost getting ran over my a car and its very unsafe. One solution is to be more careful with kids and always had a look on the child. Second solution is to put speed bumps on every block because kids play in the block a lot like soccer or some other game. Third solution is to lower the speed limit in the street. The solutions will solve the street serious problem and it will be a safe school.

The first solution is to be more careful with kids and always had a look on the kids. kids are not care that much because they forget what their parents tell them like look both ways to see if car come but they forget and if the driver is not paying attention which he should he might ran the kid over and that a serious problem. parents need to take care of their kids when they play because parents are the problem too because they something’s don’t tell their kids about safety. Also if kids look both ways and be careful it wont be a serious problem. Kids are not the only ones that have to be careful.

Second solution to solve the serious problem is to put more speed bumps on the street or block. kids are not the ones to be careful drivers need to be careful too because some drivers drive fast and don’t pay attention. They put more speed bumps drivers wont go as fast they go there going to be careful because if they go fast threw the speed bumps it will mess up their car and they wont like that. With more speed bumps kids will be saver and will know that cars will go slow and not fats and they will be safer. Also if they don’t have speed bumps they should lower the speed limit.

Third solution to solve the serious problem is to lower the speed limit and have cops be around there for cars could respect the limit. cars need to get slower when it come threw blocks because they know that some kids might be playing there. Also kids will feel ever more safer that cars would go like 5 miles per hour or less and kids would not get ran over. If we have the speed limit and the drivers obey it then kids will be much safer. Also if these things happen then parents will be safe about letting there kids play outside.

The serious problem on the street is that kids getting ran over by cars and almost getting ran over by cars and that’s very unsafe. one solution is to keep a look out for kids because if we do they will be safer. Second solution is to put more speed bumps for drivers wont go fast and kids will not get ran over and be safe. Third solution is to lower the speed limit like school does and that will make kids safer and parents will be safe about their kids going to play. With all this solutions kids will be save and wont get ran over.

It was a morning after noon and we are a poor family that we can even afford to buy food for our own children. we didnt know what to do no more. until my wife said that we should abandon in the forest and we will go back home. i didnt agree with her because i know we didnt had food but they are my kids and i dont want to leave them in the forest where animals could eat them piece by piece. then she said that if we dont do this that all four of us are going to die of hunger. she said that we will light a fire and give both of them a piece of bread. then i didnt know what to do because if we dont do this then we all going to die of hunger. we had to do this but i didnt want to. it was the morning when we were going to abandom our children in the forest. i didnt feel happy or great that we were going to leave them on the forest. i remember when HAnsel wass looking back at the house alot and i think he knew what we were going to do. then when we got in the middle of the forest we lighted a fire and we tolled them that we were going to get wood and just stay here and we will get you two when we were finish when we left my wife was happy that now we had more food for her and me but i called her a selfish girl because you rather want you kids to die instead of you. she didnt care and we both went home. we had food but i didnt ate much because i had a feeling that something was going to happen to them. Days past and i would always get wood and things for the house but i was never happy even if i had more food. three days past my wife die. i was sad because i loved her but at the same time i didnt because she abandon our children so we could have more food. then it was bad a had even more food that i could give to my children but they werent here. i wanted to look for them but it was like already a week and they could be anywhere by now and if i go i might ran out of food and then im going to die. i wanted to get my children back but there was no way i could of get them back. they would be anywhere in the forest. they could be eaten already but i never wanted to think that but when more than 3 days past it was getting clear to me that they might of get killed or die of hunrger which i wqas getting depress every day. i would cry and think about them when they were little.

O.Henry

Hearts and Hands
i think that this short story was a good stort because it had alot of detail about the story. the story was great but i didnt like some parts bout the story. one part that i didnt like was kind of the beginning. i didnt like the beginning because of how it starts with a women dressed in a elegant dress that she wanted to go to denver.



The Catus
the story was great but it was really difficult to me. in the begging it was staring good but then it stared to get difficult. they had difficult words it was a great story with good deatail but a little boring because i didnt get the story that well. it had words that i could not understand. it was a difficoult story for me.


Tommy's burglar
interesting story in the begging its very interested in the first sentence of the story wanted me to read it all. the first sentence got into me and i just wanted to know more abut it. what i like about this story was about a kid and a burglar talking to each other and in real life that usually never happens. if a boy see a burglar they would run away but tommy was talking to him and was usually wanted to be friends. This story was very interesting

The Outcast of poker flat

if you had to blame someone or something for the outcasts deaths, who/what would you blame and why?
- Uncle Billy
- Citizens of Poker Flat
- Bad Luck
- Outcasts

If i had a choice to blame something or someone i would blame Uncle Billy the most. i would blame him because he was the blame of all the things he did. They were all going good and they had supplies and horses for they could travel good faster and safe. then one morning it started to snow and when they all woke up Uncle Billy wasnt there and he took everything he tookthe only thing that willmake there trip safe and it was the horses and he took them. Mr. John Oakhurst didnt want to believe that he took them all he wanted to believe that he did it in accident because like he was drunk he probably scared the horses but i dont think that he did it on accident i think he did it on purpose for he could of save him self. he was probably wasnt that drunk to make think to the other people tat he was so noone would suspect that he would ever take the horses. i think what Uncle billy did was the worst thing he would ever done. he should just countinue drinking and that would be better than taking the horses. if he would of been even more drunk it would of been better because he would of never took the horses but he did and he was a big jerk about him. they thought he was a good man but what he did in the story he wasnt a good man he was a selfish man. He was the worst and terrible man in the story. so i say the blame for all the deaths and problems in the story was all cause by uncle billy because he took the most important thing you need to travel which was the horse.
