Curious city

Rose Garden Memorial Nathaniel Marshall, Grade 6 Boise Silent wanderers Admiring different vivid shades of pink and yellow. One stoops to lower his nose to the sweet aroma. A fountain to provide music to the scene The sun shines and the glazed grass shimmers Every type of rose they could imagine This is a solitary dream that I have. My prayer is that I may live to see it.

A Secret Peyton Lettkeman, Grade 8 Mountain Home The man drove past in his shiny silver car, and in that quick second that I could see his face, I saw a story, a life. The man has a secret, one he doesn’t want anyone to know, but I do. If I were that man, If I were the man. I wouldn’t want anyone to know either. He did something bad, something he’ll get into a lot of trouble for. That man, he has committed a murder. That man has committed a murder and now he is ashamed! The man has committed a shameful murder and now he cannot get it out of his head! It is causing him pain! I saw it in his eyes and he looked right at me and told me about the crime through that tortured expression! That man has just killed his BEST FRIEND! And he should be ashamed. He deserves to feel great pain! That bearded man driving that shiny silver car down South Capitol Blvd. just killed a man and he is ashamed!
