Tittle:Whistling in the Dark

Author:Lesley Kagen

pages:1-13

One morning Troo's mom was told her that her dad was really sick. Troo and her sister were laying down on the lime green grass,their mom told them that she had another guy that she was dating his name was Hall. Troo said that she liked her own dad better than Hall. Troo said to her mom "My dad may be sick but that doesnt mean that you have to be with other guys." Troo's mom got really mad at her. Then the next day they took Troo's dad to thee hospital because he got really sick. When his dad was at the hospital Troo's dad called her over and he wanted to talk to her bacause he wasnted to tell her something. He felt like dying. He told her "you need to take care of your little sister,you need to promise me that." All Troo saw was all kinds of wires stuck to him. Troo told her dad that he has to be strong that he couldn't die. Troo's mom was with her new boyfriend Hall. Troo's and Nell's mom didn't care anymore about him.

Opinion:My opinion would be that the mom of Troo and Nell shouldn't be with another guy when her husband is in danger of dying. She should be able to be with her daughters and telling them that everything is going to be alright.

Question:Why would Troo's mom be with another guy "Hall" instead of being with her real husband and with her daughters?

Quote:"Promise me that you will take care of Troo." I think that he should'nt be saying that he should be strong and trying his best.

Title:True Love

[[Summary]]

One day a kid will have a mom that she will always paint her toes nails. His mom won a beauty pageant when she was in high school. His mom loved make up,facials,and perfumes. But one day when his family were in the pool he had noticed for the first time that she did not have her toe nails painted. He was shocked because he never thought that his mom would go to the pool withput her toe nails painted. So his son asked her why she did'nt paint her toe nails and his mom said that she was to stiff to get down and paint her toe nails. His dad is big and strong he coached football. He spoked to his wife and said that he would be glad to paint her toe nails. His mom said that it would be foolish to do that. But his dad said "I love you and I want you to feel beautiful as long as you live". Five years later hes still doing his toe nails for her. The kid was so happy that his dad would do that for his mom. He said that,that was True Love.<3

[[Opinion]]
My opinion would be that,that was so sweet what the womans husband would do just for her. Painting her toe nails just for her to feel beautiful.
Its just so sweet because no guy would ever paint their wifes toe nails just for his wife could feel beautiful.

[[Question]]
My question would be,why would he do that though just for her to feel beautiful?Should'nt he love her just the way she is?

[[Connection]]
My connection would be that its amazing how in real life that usually doesnt happen. How my family dont do that with each other.

[[Qoute]]
"It's because I love you and want you to feel beautiful as long as you live"
I think that is a romantic qoute because no one actually says that to their wifes. No guy can truly love a woman as much as this guy can.

True Love
by:Robert Fulghum
pages:1-25

The book that I've been reading is really interesting because it shows how Robert Fulghum saw how love was. There was one girl she was 8 years old,she liked a young boy named Billy. The girl told Billy that if he wouldn't walk her to the bus stop that she will kill herself and she will beat up Billy. Robert Fulghum had that letter that the little girl gave to Billy. The reason why Robert Fulghum had the letter was because Billy showed it to Suzy. Suzy was Billy's girlfriend. Suzy told Billy "I Suzy,promise you,Billy never to kill myself or beat you up". Billy was happy that Suzy told him that because he wouldn't like any girl to kill herself just for him. Once Billy got married with Suzy they had a wonderful life together. Billy never heard of that girl that told him that she will kill herself and beat him up. He said that he will never fall in love with any girl because if what the girl told him. But once he saw Suzy they started talking to her a lot and then they got married and lived happily ever after.
