My mother danced all night and Roberta's was sick. That's why we were taken to St. Bonny's. People want to put their arms around you when you tell them you were in a shelter, but it really wasn't bad. No big long room with one hundred beds like Bellevue. There were four to a room, and when Roberta and me came, there was a shortage of state kids, so we were the only ones assigned to 406 and could go from bed to bed if we wanted to.

My desk looks a bit confused.

I am how I act

and

I am what I eat.

I sometimes react,

and

I'm not yet complete.

The dancer put a cardigan sweater over her leotard. Then she sat down to eat a sandwich. Cardigan, leotard, sandwich—where did these words come from? Did you know that each of them was a person’s name? The sandwich, for example, was named for John Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich. He lived from 1718–1792.

Mother Nature is my mentor,

She tells me I'll be back,

even when my brain gets bruised

and my heart takes forty whacks.

If he says no shooting, no shooting. If you disobey instructions, there's a stiff penalty of another ten thousand dollars upon your return."

What is the genre-based thinking job for this text?

I slipped.

Everything seems to stink.

I better check my shoe.

I can't tell where or when

but, yes,

I guess,

I stepped in a rotten mood.
