My family and friends ate dinner at a local restaurant every Saturday night when I was

younger. We approached a large purple booth as we read the familiar menu. The sweet smell of

vanilla sat in the air. I held my mother’s hand as she ordered our drinks.

The waiter offered us our thick milk and placed it in front of us on a comfortable piece of

tissue. The jug box on the back played songs at full blast that we all sang until our food arrived,

hot and enticing on the table. Outside I was shivering in the biting air, but at the restaurant, I was

warm and comfortable. Cooking french fries and enjoying a hot and mouth-watering

cheeseburger.
 Jack Collins

Jack Collins is the most amazing person I have ever met.

He came to my school and talked about his difficult life in
prison.   He was in prison for 15 years. He made a lot of
mistakes when he was young, but now he has changed his life.
He saw a lot of violence in prison, so he uses his experience to
help secondary school students. Jack is tall and strong. He also
looks a little scary because he has some strage spider tattoos.
The thing I remember most is his sensitive personality. He really
wants to help young people. I’ve never met anyone like Jack
before.

"Gregory"

by Barbara Carter

"Gregory is my beautiful gray Persian cat. He walks with pride and grace, performing a

dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a ballet dancer. His

pride, however, does not extend to his appearance, for he spends most of his time indoors
watching television and growing fat. He enjoys TV commercials, especially those for Meow Mix

and 9 Lives. His familiarity with cat food commercials has led him to reject generic brands of cat

food in favor of only the most expensive brands. Gregory is as finicky about visitors as he is

about what he eats, befriending some and repelling others. He may snuggle up against your

ankle, begging to be petted, or he may imitate a skunk and stain your favorite trousers. Gregory

does not do this to establish his territory, as many cat experts think, but to humiliate me because

he is jealous of my friends. After my guests have fled, I look at the old fleabag snoozing and

smiling to himself in front of the television set, and I have to forgive him for his obnoxious, but

endearing, habits."
