Friends
Friends are the best. They are always there for you when you need them. I used to starve myself because some people I didn’t even know called me fat, but my friends say I'm not. I stopped eating for a long time, and my friends got worried. I managed to stop them from telling anyone for about a year and a half. Then my best friend finally got sick of me being depressed and killing myself so she told the counselor. I may have been mad at her, but she did it for the best, and so she wouldn't lose me. You shouldn’t care about what you look like. Just your health and your friends and family. I have finally learned that. I love my friends.

Mary Poppins
Is Mary Poppins really realistic? I don’t think so. Mary Poppins is very unrealistic. In real life, can you really float with an umbrella? I suppose you could, on a very windy day, but she popped into a picture, that was drawn on the sidewalk! Also, who else randomly breaks out into song in the middle of nowhere? If we had opinions, in my opinion, this story is highly unrealistic!!
Speaking of being unrealistic, it can be realistic too. It’s realistic in some ways. Like how she’s their baby sitter, that’s realistic. The one thing that isn’t is that in her bag, she can fit a coat rack, a plant, a mirror, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she could fit a T.V. in there! She can also clean up things, by just snapping her fingers. The kids can too, but that’s another story.
I think this story is romance, because it is highly unrealistic, and everything that goes along with romance, goes along with this story. There is a minor conflict, and then it is realized, but then resolved. The end! Just like romance. The only other possible thing would be would probably be comedy, because its not realistic. Except nothing in comedy has nothing to do with Mary Poppins.
That also brings us to something that it actually could be comedy. It begins with normal everyday life, but then turns into something about a world we wish we all could live in! So actually it could be comedy, because then the conflict is fully realized. Then the resolution, and then it all returns to normal everyday life at the end of comedy. I think its romance because its like a dream world.
Bringing up the fact of a dream world, it’s a dream world because no one can go into pictures, or bring big things out of a bag that are bigger than the bag! So this is why it brings me to the conclusion of it being romance. It couldn’t be anything else. And it fits romances characteristics perfectly!

Winter
Winter is the best. I like walking around at night in the winter because it is very quiet, and peaceful. When its snowing, and you cant see about 20 feet ahead of you, I like I the best because all you can hear is the sound of snow hitting the ground. I can wait for christmas this year. Now that everyone's getting older christmas isn't such a big deal anymore. The one thing I can't wait for is being able to go to the creek at the park by my house, and slide on the ice. Its really fun. And that’s why I can’t wait for winter.
