Grade 8 Language Arts - Third Question of the day!

Now that you know what it's like to have a million dollars, and what it is like when almost everything you have treasured is taken away from you, answer the questions below:

1. How did it feel when you had everything?
2. What did it feel like when you knew you could no longer take all the things you treasured with you when  you were to go into hiding?  How did it feel? 

Explain both these questions in a paragraph.

Heroes

In the grade 8 LA's class, we have been talking about heroes and what they mean. Here are some of their heroes:

1. Nahan: "My dad is my hero because he is my protector who is inspirational, empathetic, and hopeful. He teaches me to never give up and raised me to be the person I am today."

2. Haruka: "My hero is Ran Ogawa, a character from my favorite Japanese book because she and I are very similar in the way we think and act. However, she is often prudent in the way she makes decisions, which I am still working on improving. Ran inspires me to change the way I think about the conflicts that I face.

3. Fiffy: "My mother is my hero because she can do many things at once.  She is the best gift that a daughter can receive.  She encourages me to be a better person, she's kind and loving, she is always there for me."

4. Osama: "My older brother is my hero because he always supports me and is by my side.  He helps me and I try to help him as much as possible.  He listens to me and helps me to fix the areas that I need to work on.  I will always love him."

Who is your hero? Let us know!
