Part 1:

1) At an early age my mother became my best friend. I wanted double the love from her because lack of attention from dad. My mother had just raised five kids. She was going through empty nest syndrome. She needed some extra love herself. I asked my mom to take me out of school during lunch. I didn’t want to eat with the kids at school. I never put effort into making friends. I wanted so badly to be accepted by them.  I wanted them to come to me. I spent enough time crying out for attention at home. I didn’t want to do it at school too. I’d rather have lunch with my mom. She would pick me up at 12:15. She would have a packed lunch ready for the both of us. Whatever I wanted to eat she brought. We would find a nice shaded area around the corner of the school to park. We sat in the car. We turned on the radio to Dr. Laura. We would enjoy our lunch. If there was ever a day I didn’t want to go to school my mom was fine with it. She always said “Don’t go, stay home with me."

2) At an early age my mother became my best friend and I wanted double the love from her, due to the lack of attention from my dad for my mother had just raised five kids and was going through empty nest syndrome so she needed some extra love herself so During my late elementary years and middle school years, I asked my mom to take me out of school during lunch and I didn’t want to eat with the kids at school but I never put effort into making friends and I wanted so badly to be accepted by them but I wanted them to come to me and I spent enough time crying out for attention at home, I didn’t want to do it at school too and I’d rather have lunch with my mom. She would pick me up at 12:15, when lunch began, and she would have a packed lunch ready for the both of us and whatever I wanted to eat, she brought then we would find a nice shaded area around the corner of the school to park and we sat in the car, turned on the radio to Dr. Laura, a therapist who gave callers harsh life advice, and we would enjoy our lunch but if there was ever a day I didn’t want to go to school my mom was fine with it; in fact she always said, “Don’t go, stay home with me.”

The images and words on page 119 express different meanings. The pictures are saying that the way you dress or present yourself says something about you. For example, she states "My students expected me to be formal and respectable." In the picture next to this quote bubble is a picture of her in a dress. If she wears a T-shirt from a Star Trek convention then she will appear as a Star Trek fan; an image of her in a Star Trek tee is shown by this quote. The words are expressing how these things tie into our writing. You create a style that can make it clear to your audience how you want to be represented.
