DESIGNED NECKTIES

By Trevell Jordan

It felt great, and then they decided they owe me the money…I feel happy that the CEO bought the neck tie for the first time. Staff told me I could use a ruler and make colors and I’m going to decorate it, and they are going to buy it. I would make another tie, they can make ties pretty nice and neat. The challenges, I use a ruler, some markers to draw the lines and to color the ties, and then to decorate it. I don’t know what I am going to do with the money. Yeah I learned, they helping me out, I followed directions of the coloring of the ties, I'm going to follow the lines and follow the colors, to make it look beautiful and nice. I can make designs, to make all kinds of stuff to make all kinds of designs, like make some shapes, lines, zig zags, or everything, and colors like purple, blue.

YOU KNOW ME. I AM BARBARA THOMPSON.

By Barbara Thompson I am from Cook Country and making rugs is relaxing to me. It keeps me busy and occupied. My mind is occupied. I think about a job. I would like to work in a restaurant or be a janitor. I go for walks and go to the mall. I go to the store and buy coffee. Ain't Coffee good? I listen to B96 and V103 and jazz.

I eat pork chops and chicken and BBQ ribs is good.

I want to learn to sew. I sew a little bit. I sew, but not good, but better than I used to. The machine is something I use. Not as good as I could be sewing. I get better and I forget. But I made a skirt. I wore it. I like nice clothes.

Have you seen my new shirts?

I like the picture of me and The Manhattan singers. I hope I can sing something different next year. It won't be The Manhattans all the time, it'll be something new.

ZEBRA AND ELEPHANT PAINTING

By Vahid M. Me and Anteneh are making a tree. Me and Jessica, Walter, Christina. Margaret is cutting something in the counter. I don't know what she's doing.

She got the scissors. Zebra or elephant - I don't know which one. Get the color brown and blue.

Finish the painting, wash it the brush, put it back. Finish painting. Do it tomorrow. I say, "Jessica, you come tomorrow." I said, "You know what you doing. Don't mess it up. Wash the cup and put it back in the cafeteria." I got Jessica the paint, container fill it up, put the cup, just keep going. Don't listen to Hannah, don't listen to Jamie, just keep going. Just keep going."

I going to sleep with him, kiss him, and kiss him in the lips, and give him ice cream. He touched me and I touched him. His name is Moly. He watched TV with me. He slept with me, he lied down in my shoulder. He sleep good. He watch the Bears with me. After this, we walking outside in the porch. "Hey, it's lunch time." I say, "It's lunch time, it's 12:30." I come inside, give him to drink a cup of water, a sip of water. "Be careful, gently, gently. After this we see your sister." Pet food, Costco/Jewel, I buy for him. Stay for me. Stay for me. Just stay together, you and me, friends. If you be nice, if you be careful, walk with me in the garage. I said, "I love you, I love you more." I give her a kiss. She so nice, polite. He so sleepy. Sleep like this, I say, "Very good." He so proud with me. She give me a hug. He said, "I so hungry, and I say, 'It's okay honey, I bring you food.'" He so quietly. I love him so much. She so sweet.

THUNDERCATS Lion-O is the main character. I like the voices they do on the show. I like the series. I like their home base. Mumm-Ra is ugly. He's in a coffin. MummRa's castle is scary. Jaga is Lion-O's father/trainer.

I like the sword. It has the ThunderCats' symbol. I like the scenery. I like his cat Snarf. I like the Thundertank vehicle. I like the costumes.

CHARLES' ENTERTAINMENT REVIEW HE-MAN AND SHE-RA AND THE SECRET OF THE SWORD I like the music in the video. I like the scenery. I like the costumes. He-man is Prince Adam. The name of his pet is Battle Cat. Alan Oppenheimer does Battle Cat's voice. Heman's voice is John Erwin. I like his voice. Melendy Britt does She-Ra's voice. She-Ra was kidnapped by Hordak when she was a baby, and Adam too. She-Ra's horse is Swift Wind. He flies. Skeletor is in the movie too. He's tough. He betrayed Hordak. He-Man and Hordak are from Castle Grayskull. I like the costumes. They're different. The colors are different. I like the music. She-Ra's theme song is "Warriors." He-Man is the Master of the Universe. His theme song is "The Power of

I give He-Man and She-Ra 5 stars because

Grayskull".

I like it. I got it at home.
