Everything was washing hands. Every day you will wash your hands. Until one day I got home and I saw this bottle and it said no need to wash hands and you could use a little of this and you will get your hands clean. It was crazy someone invented this thing called handitizer. I got shocked no more soap just squirt and rub. One day while I was sleeping I heard a noise. I woke up to see what it was. I saw this green glowing light. I thought it was a UFO so I got my camera to catch the aliens. But it wasn’t aliens it was a UFO filled with bottles of handitazer. No one was around do I went inside the UFO. I saw their plans to destroy planet earth by washing their brains and make them kill themselves. I saw a red button to make me go to anywhere I want. I went to the army. I got a super bomb and went to the UFO. Then I exploded it. But I died and then I woke up. The End.

That can kill you!”-Jon Jon said. “No you will not!” said Lise and Jaxx and pulled out a giant sword and hammer with fire powers. “Not so fast” Jon Jon said and brought his friends a fire dragon and poison ivy dragon to stop them. Thinking fast, Lise and Jaxx took out a grappling hook and got on a tree. The dragons didn’t know how to fly and were stuck on the ground.

Dear Alicia Keys,
When I saw that you stopped wearing makeup I was really happy. Most women think they MUST wear makeup to look beautiful. But when you stopped you showed other women and girls that you don’t have to worry about what others think you look like. YOU should like what you look like. If you’re satisfied, that’s all that matters. Also I’m sorry if my handwriting isn’t as good as it should be. And I love your music.
Sincerely,
Shari S.

Rights are for every person, even black and whites. Without rights this world would not be right. People used to be slaves but the president of Chicago back in the day said so slaves in Chicago. Then Harriet Tubman made the railroad. So now, African Americans are yelling for justice on the street blocking traffic. They feel mad because whites get more than blacks. Because we didn’t get to go to school. They had clean indoor bathrooms, we had disgusting outdoor bathrooms. So now they are walking down the street holding signs for justice. When 2016 came the world got even better. The leader of the group of Justice is named Jacob. He feels mad because we can’t get a job because we’re black. He’s saying “Justice is for all”. THE END

Dear Mayor,
I think that anyone can work at Subway no matter any age from 10-90 because some kids need money and cookies give them energy to work. My other reason is kids can bring broccoli soup so they can go in the teachers room. Another reason is some kids can learn math from counting money. In conclusion I think that kids can work at Subway any age. 10 or older.
