Timothy is gone!

Timothy is gone now. The hurricane has just hit our island and Timothy died after sacrificing his life for me.
I am very nervous and scared because I'm blind and alone on this island. The whole island is destroyed after the Hurricane and all I have is Stew cat. I'm not sure what to do or where to go. The good thing is that Timothy taught me survival skills to be more independent on the island. These skills include: fishing, lighting the flare to alert an aeroplane and walking the island without getting hurt. I hope that a boat or plane will come by and spot Stew cat and I. I'm really missing Timothy and I feel so bad that I first thought that he was stupid, old and lower class. I felt these feelings simply because he was black. I have faith that I will be rescued but in the meantime I need to survive.

Missing person: Phillip Enright jr. LOST AT SEA

April 8, 1942 (Curacao, one of the largest Dutch islands off of the coast of VeneZuela)
During the invasion of our island by the Germans, my wife and son  went on a boat, headed for America, to ensure their safety. This boat was torpedoed by a german submarine. Fortunately my wife went back to shore on a lifeboat but my son Philip jr is still missing. The ship was on  fire and starting to sink and
my wife saw him floating in the ocean which leads us to believe that he is still alive. Philip is eleven almost twelve, average height, caucasion with dark hair and a slim build.  We are offering a reward up to $50,000for iformation leading to the whereabouts of Philip Jr . This is in addition to a separate, substantial private reward.
Anyone seeing philip or who has information about his location is urged to call Curacao police headquarters 

Shipwreck ala Timothy

I'm on the life boat  and we're trying to survive . Our boat is drifting off into the ocean. We've taken off our clothes  and turned them into a shelter and we have only a small ammount of food. We're eating it sparingly in order to prevent starvation. We know that there are deadly sharks in the ocean beneath us. I'm on the boat with a boy named Phillip and a cat named stewcat. Phillip doesnt like me because i'm black and he's white. He is getting annoyed by me because we think differently and have different backgrounds. I also think he thinks I'm ugly. I usually call him young bahss and we're trying to get along and stay alive. Hopefully we find land soon. Hopefully someone will spot us. Philip has a big injury on his head which needs to heal. This may be making him angry. I have little education and Phillip has a lot. This may be another reason for our misunderstandings . Hopefully we'll get through this ordeal together.

Challenges in writing assignments

Looking back over the years, writing has always been difficult for me. I love to read and I have many great ideas and stories that I have in my head, but I find it difficult to put it in to words on paper. My grammar and writing speed needs some work, but my spelling  is good. I plan to start writing more this year, and would like to learn more great writing techniques from Mrs. Boyde.I enjoy her teaching and her classes. She is patient, and is always happy to help with anything I may need. I look forward to having a great year without a too much stress!
