Happy, playing with my brothers and sisters.
Content.

Until one day my father owed a debt.
I was pawned.

Sent to Lomboko ,
it was a long and hard journey but I made it.

I really didn’t like it there.
They were cruel to us and it was painful.
There is only one word to describe what it was like,
Torture.

Finally we were put on a ship.
I thought it would be better.
It was worse.

Then another ship. The Amistad.
It was long,
it was hard,
the ziz-zags of the Amistad.

We were kept in a jail.
Until one day our case went to the United States Supreme Court.
That faithful day our lawyer, John Quince Adams, argued
and argued for us until we
Won.

We were going home.

This is a paragraph written by my third grade buddy. He read it to me and I typed it up.

In New Orleans I want to do a fundraiser for schools that got badly damaged. We have many differences and similarities. These are some differences like kingcakes and beignets and some of the similarities: we both have bagels and snow cones.

Also we are going to learn together. Our class has seen pictures of the houses that got knocked down by the hurricane and in assembly we talked about how our relationships
are going to get better.

“Half a Sixpence” is about poor draper named Arthur Kipps who becomes a millionaire. It is a Cinderella story because Kipps goes from rags to riches and then back down to rags and after that right back to riches.
Over all I thought that “Half a Sixpence” was a good play.  It was funny at some parts but more serous at others.  I thought that it was a good play but at a few parts it got a little boring but otherwise it was a good play.
