The Krohn Family

Emily continues to impress us with her writing.   Her 4th grade class is ready a civil war book entitled “Captured, A Boy Trapped in the Civil War” by Mary Blair Immel.  For an assignment she had to chose a photo in the book and write a one page journal entry as if she were the main character in the book.  The picture on the left is the photo.  Here is the text of her journal entry.

Dear Journal,

As I sit here I imagine the future war.  Roche beside me is pondering about his family back home and how they are doing.  I too hope Sissy and Tag and Ma are doing fine.  I bet Ma is making them split my chores.  Tag now probably is un-Tag.

The air is of fear on disturbence about each others lives.  As we all watch the campsite, I take note that the air is chilly as if the wind itself could smell fear.  The leaves danced dead on the campground, though no joy was shed upon the sight.  I feal a resemblance and relationship between Roche ‘n I, with both of our fathers having being passed away.  For I have read books about friends saving each other’s lives.  This “Relationship” may come in hand.  Sadly, I believe that Williams isn’t so much feeling good at all.

So long Journal,

Johnny Able
