My Story

I was trying to help Brandi with her homework the other night, and she had to write a persuasive essay where she was supposed to write about something that was dear to her, but write it in such a way as to make anyone reading the story to not want it.  I wrote a sample for this story, which I was proud of :D  I thought it was really good.  It wasn't used, however, lol because it was too much of a "fairy tale" like story.  Brandi said when she closed her eyes and listened to me read it, that it was like a children's book.  She also asked me when I was going to write a book.  I have no idea if this is in my future, but I think it would be an exciting thing to undertake.  Anyway, I wanted to post the story on here and share it with you.  I hope you enjoy it!

My Favorite Purse

There is a certain purse in my possession that is my absolute favorite.  It is sleek black with plenty of room to fit everything I could possibly need, inside, including Petey, my pet cockroach.  He makes his abode in the left corner of my purse where I always make sure to leave enough room for him.  He is pretty good most of the time, but loves to nibble on fingertips.  When he gets bored, he goes to the right side of my purse where he can play with old, used pieces of gum, that I tend to forget to throw away.  The second thing I love about my purse is the long, silver straps.  They gleam and glitter in the mid-day sunshine.  Every afternoon I gently brush the silver straps of my purse.  The straps are a beautiful shade of silver because it is the hair that come from my deceased godmother.  This purse is precious to me, but I suppose that if someone was in serious need of a new purse, then I could consider handing it over, as long as they would be willing to take good care of Petey and would promise to brush my godmother’s hair. 

I thought it was interesting anyway :D  Looking forward to a wonderful weekend, and an exciting week of school coming up!
