Today we read the poem “I, Too”. It opened my eyes to discrimination in America and how some people have to fight to be included as an American citizen. The lines “They’ll see how beautiful I am, And be ashamed” really resonated with me.
He Lurks (12 sentence story makeup)
He passed the mailbox by her house. Straight up the driveway, he walks towards the door. He knocks quietly. Once, twice and three times, but she doesn't seem to answer. According to his research, she is always home at this time. He steps away from the door and towards her bedroom window. He carefully peeked through her blinds. “Ahh, she's just sleeping,” he says in a relieved manner. He slowly creeps back to the door and knocks louder. Once, twice and three times again. She finally answers and says hello. He makes his way into the house and the woman disappears into the shadows of her own home.
