Not fair

By: Allison G
Pennsylvania, Grade: 8

Dear Jurnal,
Today Moma and Ant Lisa had to kill a dog to feed the family. When dinner time came around we all were afrad to eat because daddy useto say 'the day we eat the dogs the day we all know we will die'... Sara, Morgan, Bradly, Jenifer, Justin, and I ate in silence as we all know it tore up Ant Lisa to cook the dog. Uncle Aurtor would have went out and hunted until he couldnt stand if he had too. But saidly him and daddy are in hevevan with my other brother Matthew.... God help us, or I fear Ant Lisa may not make it though many more day.Doctor Roberts has band all us children from being near up and i fear cousin Morgan might dissobay his soon. All Morgan wants s to see her mother and sit and laught with her again as do I.... This has been a vary odd few days as Mr. Anderson has now began to seek out my momma even if he is Mrs. Anderson's oldest son. Again today Justin was payed for his paper job but it's unfair he has to work evry day before our lessions.
