2. I would really like to paint them one of my brooding oceans but they would miss the point I am sure of how the ocean looks strong and beautiful and sad at the same time and that is really something if you think about it.
 
 
3. My aunt is so glad to be out of a colored town. She unlocks her door now because she feels safe.
 
 
4. I do not have to worry about snakes anymore here.
 
 
5. I came a long way to get here but when you think about it real hard you will see that old Starletta came even farther ... And all this time I thought I had the hardest row to hoe.
