Comma What

My father had left our house in the midst of a fight between Lindsey and my mother. My mother was trying to get Lindsey to go with her, to the Y to swim. Without thinking Lindsey had blared, "I'd rather die!", at the top of her lungs. My father watched as my mother froze, then burst fleeing to their bedroom to wail behind the door. He quietly tucked his notebook in his jacket pocket took the car keys off the hook, by the back door, and snuck out.

Story Spinner: Option 1

As an old man approached my friends and me on his bicycle he started to speak gibberish, so we all looked at one another and laughed. He started to speak a little clearer so we could under stand him. He asked us if he could have a little bit of money because riding barefoot was about to kill him. We figured out that he was a homeless and poor. We all pitch a couple of bucks in, and a big grin pop up on his face he said thank you and god bless.
We all felt so proud of our selfs we started to help more, and more homeless people. We even started to help with the community more to. It feels so good when you help people in need. One time we gave this man a flashlight so that he would be able to see in the dark when he tries to find places to lay at night.
We all said to our selfs that we're going to do have a fundraiser for all the homeless people and we are going to feed all the homeless all the money will go to the sick homeless people.

I woke up this morning and BARB. Then I put some money in my BOWGET for lunch. And hope on my BEAST and rode to school. When I got there I was very BEAR A BRAIN in Mrs. Jenkins class.

You speak unskilfully: or, if your knowledge be more, it is much darkened in your malice.
It means that you can't speak right and, your just making your self look stupid.

I can't really remember very much I just remember that my mom was crying and thats all I really remember. I do think that we will still be remedied of this incident. I think the terrorists where just wanting to try to destroy the strongest country but this event actually made us stronger. No I didn't know any body that had family or friends that were there. My point of view would be the family's that had family members on the plane, and it would be about how me and my family felt about this, and just how it made us stronger.
