Reading and Writing Assignment for 5/5/15 9th class

Alfonso's homework

The Father thinks as he walks: Why do I have to walk the dog with my son? It was he wanted to have this dog as a pet, so walking the dog should be his responsibility. I would rather sit on my couch and watch TV than walk this stupid dog in such a hot day. But I also have a little responsibility of taking care of this dog because I bought it from the pet shop. Anyway, this will be the last time I walk the dog with my son.

The Boy thinks as they walk: Looking after a pet takes a lot of my time. If I had known this, I would not want to have a pet dog. Having a pet means I should take more responsibility and I should take good care for it. I have to feed it every day and walk him on my free time. It means I cannot play video game on my free time since I had this dog. But it let me know that take care of a pet is a hard work.

The Dog thinks while they walk him: Why don’t they walk me to another place? This street is boring and I have to walk on it every day. Why do they always stop me from running or smelling something? I think that will not hurt anybody and that is interesting. And I think they are not very happy when they walk me. They look bored. If they do not want to take good care of me, why did they bring me to their house? Human’s thought is really hard to understand for me. I don’t know why they always do some stupid things.  

This is just great  Alfonso. You certainly nailed (idiom meaning performed very all) the  exercise on point of view.  Of all of them, I think I'd have the same question the dog does, Why did they adopt me in the first place. Really well done!

I so enjoyed reading this. No one, except you Jackie, would have thought of the boy wishing he could get a robot to walk the dog.  This is just fantastic, and clearly conveys the three points of view toward the same subject--just like Many Moons. Great job as always.

Shirley, What a wonderful response. I love that you made up your own situation and you perfectly expressed the points of view of the three characters. This was such fun to read. Thank you. LMF

Here is Elsa's reply to the assignment.

The Father thinks as he walks: What a big trouble that my son has a bad idea to keep the fool dog !I must walk it everyday , I must take a bath for it once a week ! When my son think of that his dog , he only says: “Oh , my god !I forget feed my dog ,it must be hungry now !It always eats and sleep from morning to night. My wife give it a lot of bread , dog food ,noodles everyday , but it couldn’t get us any good luck . The worst things is if it stay in our house by himself, it always take a lot of excreta on our bed ! How nausea !My wife has to wash the bed sheet .Now I must to take it to there and walk in the traffic again ! There are too much car which are get air pollution! But my son think it is good that walk with the dog in there! He often wants a dog to be this idiot dog’s wife ! And take a lot of cubs ?    

The Boy thinks as they walk: Ha , look , look my lovely dog which stay in the house over 17 hours ! It is must happy now ! Look it run so fast! My poor dog , it must be boring when it stay in the home! Maybe we could buy a now one to him , they can be a good friend and if the new one is a pretty bitch , maybe they can get marry and have many cute cubs!Oh , I love it ! But there are a lot of car , I must tell it it’s too dangerous !  

The Dog thinks while they walk him: Oh ! I can have some free time again ! Oh , I can run , jump , play with a lot dog !But I don’t like another dog join this house , because maybe my master like it more and I shouldn’t eat the good food !Oh , this car are so slowly ! I run faster than it ! Oh ! How funny !   

Hi Elsa, I am sorry that the Forum software removed the paragraphs. I should have added spaces for them. But even without the paragraph indents, this is a very imaginative piece of writing. And you definitely understood how to create different points of view or perspectives. Very enjoyable reading.
