Enya, This is just perfect. You fulfilled the assignment beautifully right down to the quotation and the page number!!! And ending on the quotation was a stroke of genius (idiom meaning, really really smart) because the quote has a feeling of finality to it.

I am really impressed. There are a few things I will write you about in an e-mail. But over overall, THIS IS A TERRIFIC PIECE OF WORK.  See you tomorrow.  Laraine

Here is Doris's writing on last week's topic.

  Leigh is a young boy miserable about the separation of his parents and generally hopeless about changing his life.

  I think when Leigh is at the Year 2, he is a friendless and a angry boy, but after he learns a lot from writing letters to his idol Mr. Henshaw, he writing the litters for 4 years; so, when he was Year 6, he become more friend and more happy, he also made a friend who called Barry.

  Leigh is change a lot in his life, I hope he can do it better!!!!!

Hi Doris, I agree absolutely with what you see as the changes in Lee's life and the reasons for them. I think the letters to Mr. Henshaw and the introduction of Barry into his life were extremely important.

Nice work!  Laraine
