After School
Jail: A place you don't want to end up
by Brooklyn S., Scott Highlands Middle School
Jail: a place you don’t want to end up. You get locked up in a cell for most of your life and you’re stuck doing things you don’t want to do. This is very similar to school. A place where most kids don’t want to be, where you’re locked up for 8 hours a day being forced to do things you don’t want to do. School is filled with weird smells, from the lunch room to the gym locker room. But after dealing with all of this weird crazy stuff, you get to get on a large yellow bus. Once you spend your time on a dirty, loud bus, you finally arrive to the lovely place you call home. Everyone seems to do something different after school. Some people have to rush to a sport or something like church. Once others arrive home they relax, do homework, or read because they have a lot of free time. Everyone has it differently after school, it just depends on your interests.

PineApple, Fine Apple
by Kaylee F.
The juicy taste of an apple, or the crunchy taste of a cracker? Jasmine eats an after school snack while she reads a good book.
[Interview with Jasmine B.]
Q: What is the first thing you do after school?
A: I read. I have a library in my house that is full of books that I like to read from. When I get home from school, I like to relax and get into the reading zone.
Q: If you had to be a food, what would you be?
A: If I had to be a food, I would be a pineapple, because then people could call me a fine apple! I don’t know why. [Laughs.]
[Interview with Anonymous]
Q: Did you know that Jasmine would be a pineapple if she was any food?
A: Jasmine is a bubbly person who makes funny jokes. She comes home from school and reads all afternoon. But what about her homework?
[From the P.O.V. of a book]
“Why is Jasmine reading me so much? She does this every day! She should do her homework or get some exercise! She needs to hang out with her friends.”
