journal #1 chapter 1-3 persepctive of Burris Ewell

It was my first day at school, and i was already irked by the fact that the teacher Ms. Caroline was annoying. Today was my first and last day at school. Just by the sound of Ms. Caroline's voice was malevolent, but i decided to act tough, and try to use intimidation on her. There is no way i would go back to school and try to persevere through the rest of the year. I was sure not indigenous to the school area.

When Ms. Caroline first saw me, and said i had cooties. I just wanted to hit her. Who does she think she is telling me to go home and wash my hair with lye soap. I don't even know what lye soap is. After that when i stood up i already knew everybody was thinking i was the most disgusting boy there, because my neck was dark grey, the back of my hands were rusty, and my fingernails were black deep into the quick. All i heard Ms. Caroline say was go bathe yourself. I should've told her to shutup, but after that she made me so mad, she even said when you come back. I just wanted to walk out, but then again i said you ain't sendidn me home missus, i was on the verge of leavin i done done my time this year. I only come to the first day of school because the traunt lady always thereatans me and my family, so I've been coming to the first day of first grade for the past 3 years.

Everybody in that class hates me, and I hate all of them too. When the teacher grabbed me i told her to let go but she just wouldn't listen so little chuck little told the teacher to let go. I woul've killed her, but if it wasn't for little chuck little threatening me with his knife in his pocket then i would've.

I think you did a good job of being the character you chose. You used the vocab well too.

I think that you did a very good job with the character that you choose. You also used very good details and i think that you included everything that you needed too. I think that you should of made it a little bit longer, you should of told more about the other characters and what Burris did and didn't like about them.

Nice Job!

You could tell more about what the other characters did in those chapters. Also you could say what he thought about the other characters.
