Dear friend, This morning when I woke up and ran outside to get my newspaper, I started looking at it right away. I couldn't believe what I was looking at. It was Emmitt Till's dead body right in front of my eyes. It was one of the most terrible things I have ever witnessed. Living in the same town as Emmitt I have seen him many times, but looking at him now I couldn't even recognize him. His face was torn up horribly, and I quivered inside everytime I glared at the picture. Being the young African I am I didn't relize how awful the racism is. How can just a young boy like Emmitt be beaten down by two older white men just for whistling at a white female? This tragedy will be felt for ages and will always be with me.

Yours Truly, NIKITASSSS

Good job nik I liked the way you showed emotion-Jordan

I was home alone last night. The house was dark and soundless. I was sitting on my kitchen counter just doing my homework. All of a sudden I hear I hear a knocking on my door. I go and get it and no one was there so I went back do doing my homewor, but all I saw was a chipmunk there with my s.s. homework in his mouth. Surprisingly he could talk and he told me his name was Alvin, the fun one, and then ran off somewhere around my house with my chewed up s.s. homework in his mouth. Then I hear another knock on the door and no one was there, so I went back down to continue my English homework. There standing on the counter with my English homework in his mouth was another chipmunk and again he could talk telling me his name was Simon, the smart one, and then Simon ran off around my house with my English homework in his mouth carrying my, "To kill a Mockingbird," book. I was completely confused right now as I sat down to do my science homework, before hearing another knock on the door. I got up to go to the door and once again no one was there, I was kind of scared now as I headed back to the kitchen. There, with my science homework in his mouth was a cute, little, chubby chipmunk. Of course he could talk to saying, I'm Theodore, the shy one. Then he ran off somewhere and my house. I sat down totally confused finishing the homework I had left to do (of course it wasn't that much considering most of mine was gone). Once again, I heard the door bell rang. I thought to myself I'm not going to get it, I am going to sit here and wait for some other mysterious chipmunk to show up. No chipmunk came and the doorbell rang again. So I went to go get it, as I opened the door I saw three cute chipmunks standing outside. I was waiting to see what they were going to say but all they did was start singing. They sang me a sad song about a boy losing his homework to 3 cute, little, and innocent chipmunks named Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. As they finished there song they ran off into the night.

Mrs. Danvers took the narrator in the west wing to show her something that most people probably wouldn't enjoy seeing, including the narrator. Yes, she showed her Rebecca's room and some other old dusty rooms, which were all quite fascinating to the narrator. When the narrator was done seeing all the rooms, Mrs. Danvers took her back into Rebecca's room. The narrator didn't really understand why they were going back into Rebecca's room and she was kind of getting freaked out as they appeared closer and closer. They walked in Rebecca's room and nothing was different. That's when Mrs. Danvers pulled down the portrait of Rebecca hanging on the wall right above her bed. Behind the portrait was a huge metal boltage. Mrs. Danvers put her hand on the sensor, next to the bolt, and then it started to open. The narrator starting running towards the door to get out of there until Mrs. Danvers magically put a metal lock on the door with her eyes and not letting her leave. There was a huge passage way behind the bolt and Mrs. Danvers forced the narrator to come. After crawling on the ground for 5 minutes they arrived in a secret attic, which Max didn't even know about. Laying on the ground was Rebecca's dead body. I screamed for my life but I was know where to be heard. "Yes Mrs. de Winter, I killed Rebecca. Yes again Mrs. de Winter, I am going to kill you now too." said Mrs. Danvers. Thats the last anyone ever heard of the new Mrs. de Winter. The narrator made a big mistake coming to live at Manderley with Maxim and hopefully the next soon to be Mrs. de winter will make a better decision.
