Can you help me with my summary of the book Holes?

I have to write a summary for the book holes, can you help me add or change the wording of the things in my summary.

Stanley gets hit by a pair of sneakers stolen from a charity acution, that were donated by Clyde Livingston.

he is accused of stealing the shoes and he has the choice to go to Camp Green Lake or Jail, he is sentenced to 18 monthes at Camp green lake.

They have to dig a hole the size of their shovles each day. The Warden says they are digging to build charter but he is using them to search for treasure from Kissing Kate Barlow.

Stanley and Zero, a boy he trys to teach how to read in exchange for digging his hole, run away from camp to climb to the top of a montain called Gods Thumb.

Once they reach the top they realiaze the wardens serret and climb back down to find the treasure, they find it and are reslaed use the money to buy a big house and find zero's mom.

Can you help me with my summary of the book Holes?
Well, you may not want to just start with 'Stanley gets hit..." Maybe tell us a bit about Stanley. The rest seems a bit choppy to me, as well as a few spelling errors and punctuation, etc.

'Stanley and Zero, a boy he trys to teach how to read in exchange for digging his hole...'

That sentence doesn't sound right to me. How about: "Stanley chooses to run away from Camp Greenlake with Zero, a boy he had helped by teaching him how to read (in exchange for digging his hole)..."

You may want to also think about combining some unneeded extra sentences such as: 'They have to dig a hole the size of their shovles each day. The Warden says they are digging to build charter...' Instead, you could say: The warden has the boys dig a hole the size of their shovels each day to "build character"...'.

Other than that, it's okay. :) Just needs some checking over... Good luck. :] I hope that helped.
Reply:that seems pretty good. but befor the summary introduce the books title; the author; main characters; ect.

Also; start the first paragraph saying: "The story satrts off as Stanley gets hit.. ". and give the end of the second paragraph a better ending, "Once they find zero's Mom blah blah blah and they live happily ever after".

but other than that good job at summing the story up %26lt;33
Reply:You didn't mention the lizards, or why Kissing Kate Barlow became the way she was.

The best excuse ever guys yes or not?

Wife comes home early from work one day only to find her husband in bed with a strange woman.

She says, "That's it, I'm leaving and never coming back."

He says, "Don't you at least want to hear my explanation?"

She shrugs and says, "Fine, let's hear your story. And this had Better be good!"

He says, "Well, I'm driving along the street, when I see this young lady in torn clothes, no shoes, all muddy and crying.

I took pity on her and asked if she would like to get cleaned up in my house.

She climbed into my truck and I brought her home.

She took a shower, I gave her the underwear that doesn't fit you anymore, the silk blouse and slacks that I bought you two years ago that you wore once, the $150 Nike running shoes you bought and wore only twice. I even gave her some of the roast beef you had in the fridge, that you never served me. I showed her to the door . She was so grateful, for all these things, and she thanked me profusely.

But then, as she was about to leave she turned around and asked me.......

"Is there anything else your wife doesn't use anymore?"

The best excuse ever guys yes or not?

What do you think of My Modified Poem?

Fall Foliage

Fall is in the Air

Air that is abundant with Childhood memories

Memories that bring back thoughts of Apple bobbing

Apples that fell from my Grandfathers Ochard trees

Tree's where me and my Brother climbed

Climbed up a rock hill were I fell while my brother laughed

Laughter that stopped when he passed

Passed to a better place a place where Heaven is always Fall

Fall where my Grandmother would trip over the old linoleum floor in her kitchen

Kitchen where she would make my favorite Blackberry cobbler each Thanksgiving Dinner

Dinner where all my family were Happy and Cheerful

Cheerful despite the the pain and suffering we experienced being poor

Poor wearing Bread sacks over my shoes to protect my feet from the Snow

Snow that made my life hard while I feed the Cattle while it brightened my spirit by it's beauty

Beauty my Mother baking Aapple pies while weeping that my father's love was gone

Gone but not lost is my memories of Fall and Love

Love of my family and loved ones that have passed

Passed is summer and Fall brings back wonderful memories of Love

Love that I give to all that I encounter

Encountering a fall filled with love

What do you think of My Modified Poem?
I like it a lot. You did a great job. Makes me yearn for my family.
Reply:Very Beautiful... I love this time of year, and your poem brought back memories of good ol' times. Please submit this...
Reply:beloved Tracer, you should send the recollection of your poems to Reader's Digest and maybe get published. Sorry about your tragic events and I am glad you overcoming them. Hopefully you'll find the LOVE you so fervently desire and need. Best of luck and you can count on my unconditional love, my beautiful calf.

Hm..... Is it good?

I’m 13 yrs old and this is the first chpter of my book.

It was a beautiful morning. The sun was peeking from the horizon, painting the sky with wonderful warm hues. The spring air was fresh, and the green grass was damp from the glistening morning dew. The earth slowly awakened from its peaceful night, stretching it's arms known as trees and yawning, creating a light breeze. Jake Clemons was always up in time to watch the breathtaking sunrise. He'd be up before the rooster crowed, or anyone else in fact.

He got dressed quickly to watch the sunrise. He had to be quiet as he put on his red shirt ad blue jeans. He tiptoed down the hallway, and he passed Jamie’s room. Jamie was his 7 year old sister. She was snoring away like a cute little angel.

After he passed everyone’s rooms, he hurried down the stairs and out the door. He dashed towards the huge barn. He felt the dampness of the grass seep into his shoes as he was running. He then ran through the dry hay and to the silver ladder leading up to the loft. He couldn’t afford to miss even a minute of the sunrise. Jake climbed up the ladder and then he crawled towards the loft window and opened it. He sprawled out on the hay and gazed at the sunrise.

Watching the sunrise was a good time for Jake to think, and get his thoughts together. It was his only moment of peace during the day. He couldn’t possibly think in the day with all the commotion from his little sister, and all the work that had to be done, there was just no time.

“Cock-o-doodle-doo!” the rooster cried. It was time to get back to the house and cook breakfast. Jake usually made breakfast because everyone was just waking up at the sound of the rooster.

This morning he cooked scrambled eggs, toast, and he heated up some leftover sausage from the morning before. Everyone got seated at the table, yawing and barley awake. Jake was the only one wide-eyed an alert. The breakfast was a very was delightful meal and got the day started off.

Jake’s parents usually watched the news right after breakfast, and then they get ready for work. Apparently they left it on, because Jaime was watching it when they got done watching it. He flipped the switch to turn the TV off.

“Hey!” Jaime whined.

“Jaime, you shouldn’t be watchin’ this stuff. It gives you nightmares.” Jake had already gone through experience. A few weeks ago they were watching the news and it was talking about another guy who escaped from the county jail near Chester. Jaime couldn’t go to sleep that night because she thought he would come and get her while she was sleeping.

“Fine,” she scoffed as she stomped out of the room angrily. As soon as she left the room, he turned it back on.

“There is currently a prison escapee on the loose. He stole the security guard’s keys and escaped. He goes by the name of Greg Richards.”

It showed a picture of the escapee. He had a brown buzz cut, a goatee, and his ear pierced. He had a tan, and he appeared to be in about his late 20’s. The news anchor continued with the story, “He was last seen driving a black Dodge Ram. If you have any information about this man, please call the police.”

“Jake, turn that off. You’ll probably have nightmares just like Jaime.” His mother was always comparing him to Jaime like that.

“Yes ma’am.” Jake pushed the ‘OFF’ button.

His parents left for work about eight and they usually got home about 5:00. His mom was the manager at grocery store and his dad worked at the local bank.

There was nothing to do at the house, so Jaime asked Jake if he could play a game with her. He didn’t mind, but she wanted to play some of the stupidest games.

“Okay Jaime, what do ya wanna play?” Jake asked reluctantly.

“Let’s play hide and go seek!” Jaime shouted. Jake never argued against having to play hide and go seek. It was one of his favorite games. He usually let Jaime hide otherwise she would whine and cry.

They ended up playing hide and seek for hours. His parents finally arrived home, so now he could go do something instead of playing with Jaime all day.

Jake figured he’d ride is bike. It was in terrible condition with worn out tires, red and rusted paint job, and the seat torn up. But he didn’t care. It was his only option to get away from the world. It made him feel free. He rode it everywhere around town. Of course the town was small enough to see everything in less than an hour on a bicycle.

The town was called Chester. It’s a population of about 1200 people. Chester has a bunch of old buildings from a long time ago. But most of those are abandoned. People just had a hard time keeping business in Chester. A whole bunch of people moved, which caused a lot of businesses to move, also.

His brown hair was waving in the wind. As he was riding his bike, he heard some bells from a distance. Not like the bells you hear at Christmas time, but big bells. They made such a noise that the whole town could hear them. Maybe even the whole county.

He decided to check and see where the bells were coming from. He followed the sound of the bells. It took about 2 minutes to get to where they were. They were coming from some large brick building with a white steeple. At the top of the steeple, there was a small cross. What kind of building has bells, and a steeple with a cross? He wondered. He decided to take a look inside.

He walked down the aisle of red carpet. There were people sitting in long stretched pews. Everyone was dressed nice and elegant. He felt like an outcast with the raggedy clothes he had on.

“Excuse me, young man. Why are you wearing such clothes?” an older woman asked him. He tried to speak but words wouldn’t budge. He was embarrassed.

“Young man?” she said.

As he ran to the back of the room, a man spoke. Jake turned around and saw a tall man in the front of the room. He looked to be in his 30’s, and he was wearing a white robe with a green stripe down the middle.

“Thank you everyone for being here tonight,” he said speaking through a microphone.

“I am the new preacher. My name is Dan Miller. I have recently moved here from Alabama, with my daughter, Carley, and my wife, Joyce,” he stated gesturing to his family in the front row.

Carley had shoulder length brown hair with the most amazing blue

eyes Jake had ever seen. She looked nothing like her mom, Joyce, who had green eyes and blonde hair.

Jake figured he would stay and listen what Dan had to say. He didn’t have to be home until 8 and it was only 6:45. He went and got seated in the last pew. He paid attention to this preacher as he spoke. Jake pulled out a notebook and pen from his back pocket and began taking notes.

“God has a great amount of power. He is so big. He can do anything!” Dan exclaimed raising his hands in the air.

“Anything?” Jake whispered to himself.

Dan preached for the next hour about this God person. He said God was the man who created this very earth, and created us to live in it. Jake couldn’t wait to tell his parents about God.

Jake glanced at his watch, and it read at exactly 7:56. Jake was supposed to be home at 8:00 sharp. He jumped on his bike and sped away. His house was about 1 mile out of Chester, so it took him about 10 minutes to get home, but at the speed he was going, Jake could’ve swore he got there in less than 5 minutes. He jumped off the bike and darted to the house. He got to the door, swung it open and ran inside. He tried to be sneaky, He didn’t want his parents to know he had come in late. He completely forgot about the door making a ruckus every time it closed. He raced to door to try to stop it from making the noise.

“Jake is that you?” his father had asked from the living room. Jake was so exhausted from the ride home, he could barely speak.

“Yes, dad,” he said panting.

“Where in the hell have you been, Jake? You were supposed to be home 5 minutes ago.” His father was really strict about being home on time. He wanted to say he was just outside for a bit, but he couldn’t stand lying to his father.

“I was at a church,” Jake said looking down at his shoes.

“A church? Why were you at this church?” his father asked him with and eyebrow raised.

“Well, I was listening to this guy talk about God,” Jake explained innocently.

“My gosh Jake! There is no God. People just say that so they can have something to believe in. Now go upstairs and finish your homework.”

Jake ran to his room and went to his bed. He laid there, thinking. His dad was usually right about stuff. Maybe there was no God. Maybe Dan was full of himself and didn’t know what he was talking about. He listened to a complete stranger and believed it. His dad was right, there was no God.

“Jake! Dinner is ready!” his mom called from downstairs.

He headed downstairs at the pace of a gazelle. He was so caught up in all this God stuff he almost forgot about his stomach. He sat down and as soon as he was about to attack the food, his mom smacked his hand.

“Not until everyone is seated,” she said as she was putting the food on the table. He looked around and everyone was seated, except his sister, Jaime, who was still upstairs in her room.

“Jake, go upstairs and get your sister,” his mom ordered from across the table.

Jake rushed upstairs and headed towards Jamie’s room. Her room was all pink. She had a pink bedspread, pink lamp, and a pink chair. Her room was also a mess with toys everywhere. There was so much clutter, that you couldn’t even see the floor.

Jake hopped everywhere around the room trying not to step on anything. He finally reached Jaime, who was playing with her dolls.

“Hey, sis. It’s time for supper,” he said tapping her on the shoulder.

“Okay,” she replied.

They both headed downstairs and got seated at the dinner table. Jake and Jaime sat across from each other, and his mom and dad sat at the ends of the table like the queen and king in old medieval times.

Today’s dinner was his mom’s specialty, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes and gravy, and grilled pork chops. His mom sure did make a mean batch of mashed potatoes.

Jake could finally start eating since everyone was seated.

“So are you two ready for the first day of school tomorrow?” his mother asked.

“Yes ma’am!” Jaime called out.

Jake just sat there, not knowing what to say.

“Jake? What about you? Are you ready for school tomorrow?” his mother asked eyeing him from across the table.

“Uh. Yes ma’am,” he lied when the truth was he wasn’t ready for the first day of school.

Last year, his best friend, Chase, moved away because his mom and dad got better jobs. It was a difficult time because he tried to make new friends but everyone ignored him. He hoped he would have better luck this year.

A fantastic dinner was made complete by a dessert of homemade ice cream. Jake was so stuffed after dinner, he could barely walk. His mom’s homemade ice cream was his weakness.

He cleaned up the dinner table and washed the dishes. Afterwards he went upstairs to his room.

His room wasn’t all decorated like Jaime’s room. It was more conservative. He just had off-white walls with the occasional artwork that Jaime had drawn for him on them. Jaime was quite the artist.

He grabbed his notebook and an ink pen from his desk, and then he got on his bed and began writing. Writing was Jake’s passion. He could write about absolutely anything. He always carried his notebook and his pen in case anything that came to mind, he could write down. He glanced at his watch. It read 9:27. Jake figured he’d get to bed at a decent hour. He put his notebook and pen under the mattress, turned off the lights and went to bed. Email me at ace_edsall@yahoo.com to get more of the story.

Aching Achilles Tendons?

I generally wear flat shoes, but lately my achilles tendons really ache... They ache when I stand, walk, climb stairs etc. The only relief that I get is when I'm sitting down.

I sit with my legs straight out in front of me, soles of my feet to the floor or crossed at the ankles.

I need some non-medicated relief as I'm starting to hobble around the office. Only sensible answers please - thanks.

Aching Achilles Tendons?
I too suffer with Achilles problems - I'm having a sports massage this evening to try and relieve some of the discomfort.

The problem could well be your flat shoes. They may mean that your Achilles is hyperextending when you walk. A podiatrist would sort you out, possibly with inserts for your shoes.

There are also lots of stretches that you can do easily in order to make them more flexible.

I hope you resolve your problem soon

I have a 7 month old puppy and she is very destructive.?
Chewing is something that comes naturally to every dog. Every dog feels the instinctual need to sharpen its teeth and hone his biting skills. Chewing on the right things, like specially designed chew toys for instance, can even help the dog clean his teeth and remove plaque.

Even though chewing is natural and healthy, that does not mean that the dog should be given carte blanche and allowed to chew everything in sight. It is vital for every dog to learn the difference between the things it is OK to chew on, like toys and ropes, and the things that are off limits, such as carpets, shoes and other items.

When working with a new puppy, it is advisable to keep the puppy in a small, puppy proofed room for at least a few weeks. This is important not only to prevent chewing but to properly house train the puppy as well.

Older dogs should also be confined to a small area at first. Doing this allows the dog to slowly acquaint him or herself to the smells and sights of the new household.

When you set up this small, confined area, be sure to provide the puppy or dog with a few good quality chew toys to keep him entertained while you are not able to supervise him. Of course the dog should also be provided with a warm place to sleep and plenty of fresh clean water.

As the dog is slowly moved to larger and larger portions of the home, there may be more opportunities to chew inappropriate items. As the dog is given freer access to the home, it is important to keep any items that the dog or puppy should not chew, things like throw rugs, shoes, etc. up off of the floor. If you forget to move something and come home to find that the dog has chewed it, resist the urge to punish or yell at the dog. Instead, distract the dog with one of its favorite toys and remove the inappropriate item from its mouth.

The dog should then be provided with one of its favorite toys. Praise the dog extensively when it picks up and begins to chew its toy. This will help to teach the dog that it gets rewarded when it chews certain items, but not when it chews other items.

Teaching the dog what is appropriate to chew is very important, not only for the safety of your expensive furniture and rugs, but for the safety of the dog as well. Many dogs have chewed through dangerous items like extension cords and the like. This of course can injure the dog severely or even spark a fire.

Most dogs learn what to chew and what not to chew fairly quickly, but others are obviously going to be faster learners than others. Some dogs chew because they are bored, so providing the dog with lots of toys and solo activities is very important.

It is also a good idea to schedule several play times every day, with one taking place right before you leave every day. If the dog is thoroughly tired after his or her play session, chances are he or she will sleep the day away.

Other dogs chew to exhibit separation anxiety. Many dogs become very nervous when their owners leave, and some dogs become concerned each time that the owner may never come back. This stress can cause the dog to exhibit all manners of destructive behavior, including chewing soiling the house. If separation anxiety is the root of the problem, the reasons for it must be addressed, and the dog assured that you will return.

This is best done by scheduling several trips in and out of the home every day, and staggering the times of those trips in and out. At first the trips can be only a few minutes, with the length slowly being extended as the dog’s separation anxiety issues improve.
Reply:Would you expect a toddler to automatically know all the house rules? Would you leave a toddler unattended?

You have to train the puppy. When someone isn't able to supervise the pup, crate her. Put her toys away and give her 2 or 3 at a time, and then rotate them every couple days, this will keep her more interested in them. Get her a job like a beginner obedience class or a pre-agility class. Take her for walks. Teach her to retrieve. A tired puppy is a good puppy.
Reply:puppys chew, no matter what kind of obidience school you send them to they will still chew, it helps them with teething, you can use bitter apple sprays on the things you dont want them to chew on though, and that can help, i had to do that with my dogs because the chewed through a refrigerator cord.
Reply:ur puppy is probably still teething. p.s. my puppy destroys everything including me! lol
Reply:Try keeping her in a cage or crate when you can't be there to supervise her. This is typical puppy behavior...they chew EVERYTHING because they are teething. Keep her caged if you can't be with her...that way she can't destroy anything and you'll be happier, too.
Reply:send her to obidient school.....but fast before its too late.
Reply:evadently you are not giving her the attention she feels she needs. It sounds like the only real time you bother with her is when she has done something wrong. Just like children, puppies want and crave attention. If the only way they can get it is to be bad then that is what they do.When you come in the house do you take the time to speak and pet your dog? This is an affirmative move. Start giving more positive attention and you will find that she is doing less destrutive things.
Reply:she is teething!! all puppies do it. that's why i could never own a puppy!!

There are some good websites about puppy biting and the training method to get her out of it. they all pretty much say the same thing.

If you don't teach her NOW that chewing/biting is bad then in the future, she may not know better if she should bite a person or whatnot, so it's very important to teach her now!!

just google in "puppy biting"
Reply:your puppy is probably still teething, however she can develope some bad habits, my rott. and great dane mix developed the taste for anything leather, purses shoes waletts and my white leather sofa loveseat and ottoman, i also ran into a friend with a similar problem with her dog and she told me that she bought some spray that deters the dog from chewing, it must have a bad taste to them and wont stain or ruin anything, i know it is difficult but be patient it will get better, just stay on top of things and talk to your vet, maybe they have some answers for you, they are always coming up with new products for pets, and try petco and meijer pet department, depending on where you live for that spray
Reply:the dog needs obediance class it works good i took my dog to one shes perfect now

hair care

Legs ache (especially my right) after first few days on the job?

I moved to another city and searched for jobs in January and February. Finally I got a stockroom job at a shoe store, and it's similar to my previous occupation because I'm walking around the jobsite, climbing a ladder to put stuff up. Additionally I have a 23 minute drive to the jobsite.

The very bottom of right foot aches the most, then the metatarsals started aching when I woke up this morning, and ever since the first day the front part of my thighs ache like crazy because I am using those muscles to climb up ladders for 4 hours.

I like the responses I read from Yahoo Answers and I will do the following for my feet: Elevation, rest, and warm/cold water baths with (epsom?) salt.

But what can I do to heal my thighs? Hot water packs? Cold water packs? Or regular aspirin?

I think part of the reason why this happened is because it's been a while since I've done anything physical.

Thanks!

Reply:Oh boy, I can sympathsize! I ran into that when I took a job as a clerk in a gas station.

Aspercreme or something similar will help immediately, then alternate hot and cold packs. The ache will go away as you get in better condition.

And if you can, get someone to massage your feet. And get a good pair of shoes, if you haven't already.

Good luck!

Ch. 1 of my book!? Your advice!?

It's already been copyrighted.

The sunlight illuminated through a partial opening of the velvet drapes, which faintly lit the dark bedroom. The stillness was shattered by the loud buzz of an alarm clock quickly silenced by the pound of a fist. A bed creaked, as a slim formed rose from the mound of blankets.

This form, this man, with dark caramel hair, and brown eyes was Damien Risquette. Better known as the infamous 16 year old heir to the Risquette family empire.

Sluggishly Damien walked to the drapes, shivering as his bare feet touched the wood floors. Spreading open the drapes, the sunlight lit the entirety of the big bedroom. Yawning, he went to the bathroom and washed up then headed to the doors across the bathroom, which led to his walk-in closet. Automatic lights lit the closet, as Damien walked inside.

Grumbling, and muttering profanity, Damien stepped over two $1200 jackets that he had tossed so carelessly the night before. In the back of the closet was a drawer he opened, which kept his school uniforms. He attends The Wimble Preparatory Academy.

Loosening his tie, he finished the navy blue and white school uniform. Exiting the closet, and the room Damien was but not even partially ready for events about to unfold. He was preoccupied with his angered outlook on the little things that most pay no attention to.

In other words, it was another day in the life of Damien Christco Risquette.

-------------------------------------...

Descending to the 1st floor Damien plotted a way to convince his parents he was “sick“ and that going to school would be an awful decision. Every weekday morning, it was either his mother Kate, or father Joseph whom had to quite literally drag Damien to school all the while Damien yelled and cursed, creating a scene as if he were getting kidnapped and about to be murdered .Today however to the glee of Damien, neither were home. Nor apparently either was Selena Rogue the housemaid.

With the house supposedly empty, he sputtered with much enjoyment that he could easily get off the hook with not going to school. What his parents don’t know, won’t hurt him he thought. With his mind obviously made up about it, he plopped down on one of the over stuffed leather chairs in the living room, preparing to waste the day away.

Flipping through the channels, Damien drifted in and out of sleep. Refusing to climb back up the 3 floors to his room, he dozed off on the chair.

“Child, you better wake up.” Damien sprang awake catching his balance before he fell out of the chair. He turned behind him and saw Selena, standing in the foyer, shaking her head in utter disappointment. “You better get up and get to school”, she said sternly,

Trying to create a believable lie Damien stuttered, “I-I already went to school but felt sick and got released early. Surely the school must have called to tell I would be home early.”

“Yeah, the school did call, but the call was about you not even going this morning” Selena said, almost proud of herself for catching Damien in his twist of lies.

Putting down her purse on the table by the front door, she walked past Damien into the kitchen where the phone was. “Today is March 17 2009,” the machines female voice stated. “You have 1 message. ‘Hello this is Patricia from the Academy, Damien once again is absent from school. This is the 12th time he’s been absent in a row. Please note that the next time this happens, the school will have to bring it up to the attention of the Board of Education of New York.’” The answering machine beeped, then turned off. Selena turned back around to face Damien who had the look of a caught fugitive. “Hmm” was she said. Simple as can be.

Walking into the kitchen, to put away the dishes Selena said to Damien “your mother called on my way here. She’s returning from her business meeting in Chicago. If you go to school now, I won’t tell her you tried to pull a fast one.” Unlike his parents whom were lenient, Selena who was much like a third parent, never backed down when she made up her mind. Damien didn’t get to make the decisions when she was around. His parents were perfectly fine with it to. They were glad to have someone teaching Damien some discipline.

Whispering under his breath, Selena turned around from the dishwasher, holding a plate and said “do you have something you want to say?” Realizing he needed to shut his mouth, Damien quickly replied “no, I was just talking to myself.” “Yeah, you better be“ Selena said, turning back around to finish with the dishes. Grabbing his backpack and putting on his shoes, Damien said aloud “you’ll feel bad one day when I don’t come back home because of you.” Climb up the stairs to do laundry, Selena stepped back down and chuckled “child, I’ll be joyous, that’ll less clean up for me to do ‘round here. Go wait downstairs, I’ll have Nick come pick you up, he’ll be there in about 10 minutes.”

Without replying back, Damien opened the door then walked down the hall, waiting for the elevator. Cursing aloud, he impatiently waited for the elevator to climb the 21 floors to him, knowing he would have to go to school.

Ch. 1 of my book!? Your advice!?
The main character seems a little childish for 16 years old. You say his parents have to drag him kicking and screaming, sounds much more like a small child. Also, if he's wealthy and 16 why doesn't he have his own car to drive to school in? Maybe make him closer to 13, still an adolescent. I would try and expand more on the scene with him in his room. Describe it more in a way that defines him. For instance, don't say $1200 jacket, that's just to short and blunt. Rather, descirbe him stepping over his imported leather jacket that he spilled soda on the night before. It still makes it sound expensive but without being as garish as to give the actual price. Is the room tidy or messy? What is involved in his washing up process, when he opens the shades what kind of city setting is outside? He's 21 floors up so throwing open the blinds would open him to a huge city environment......describe that! It's a good start, keep digging.

Wal*Mart jokes are still funny?

spray air fresheners.

6. Challenge other customers to duels with tubes of gift-wrap.

7. Leave cryptic messages on the typewriters.

16. Ride a display bicycle through the store; claim you are

taking it for a test drive.

17. Follow people through the aisles, staying about 5 feet

behind them. Do this until they leave the store.

31. Make up nonsense products and ask employees if there are any

in stock. (i.e.: Shnerples). Do a vague hand-mime of what a 'Shnerple' looks like to assist them.

32. Take up an entire aisle in toys by setting up a full-scale

battle with G.I. Joe vs. X-men.

33. Take bets on the battle from above.

34. Test the brushes and combs in Cosmetics on all the live animals in Pet-Care.

36. Hold indoor shopping cart races.

37. Put your T-Shirt on top of your head and say "I AM THE GREAT CORNHOLIO! I AM A GRINGO!"

LOOK OUT FOR THE LAST STORY....IT WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF

Author and lecturer, Leo Buscaglia, once talked about a contest he was asked

to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

The winner was:

A four-year-old child, whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman,

who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went

into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the

little boy just said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."

**************************************...

Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a family.

One little boy in the picture had a different hair color than the other

members. One of her students suggested that he was adopted.

A little girl said, "I know all about adoption, I was adopted."

"What does it mean to be adopted?", asked another child.

"It means", said the girl, "that you grew in your mommy's heart instead of

her tummy!"

**************************************...

On my way home one day, I stopped to watch a Littlle League base ball game

that was being played in a park near my home. As I sat down behind the bench

on the first-base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was.

"We're behind 14 to nothing," he answered with a smile.

"Really," I said. "I have to say you don't look very discouraged."

"Discouraged?", the boy asked with a puzzled look on his face...

"Why should we be discouraged? We haven't been up to bat yet."

**************************************...

Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think

about little Jamie Scott.

Jamie was trying out for a part in the school play. His mother told me that

he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.

On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after

school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement.

"Guess what, Mom," he shouted, and then said those words that will remain

a lesson to me....."I've been chosen to clap and cheer."

**************************************...

An eye witness account from New York Cit y , on a cold day in December, some

years ago: A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe

store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering

with cold.

A lady approached the young boy and said, "My, but you're in such deep

thought staring in that window!"

"I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,"was the boy's reply

The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to

get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give

her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her.

She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her

gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel.

By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair

upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes.

She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him. She patted

him on the head and said, "No doubt, you will be more comfortable now."

As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking

up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her .

"Are you God's wife?"
