Money is just Money: Lindsay Lee's diary

By: Marisa L
New Jersey, Grade: 6

December 20, 1929

My big brother Jake is quite dehydrated and we can't move him until he gets his strength back. We have to give him water so he won't die.

Next Day

My heart is broken! My brother Jake is dead! He died last night. He was smiling at my parents, my sisters and me and he said, ''Don't worry about me, I'll be fine, all of you guys are my family and I love you,'' then he smiled and closed his eyes and he was dead. There was nothing we could do. We buried him next to the shack. Jake was a very good brother.
