My 90th Street Story
My 90th street street story all began and a rainy morning when I was trying to write an essay for English but I could not think of anything to write about. Until I saw a cop chase on TV and started to write about that until I had no more to write, so I decided to go down to the cop shop and talk to a cop about the average day/life of a cop. I walked to the cop station and went to the front desk and asked the lady if there were any officers I could talk to. She asked me why and I explained to her about my essay and how i had no idea of what to write about and how I saw the cop chase on TV and decided that I wanted to talk to a cop. So she paged me into one of the head policemen there, and as I said thanks and headed for chief Wallie Wobbles room and the Secretary said to me "Make sure that you always watch the whole TV screen and not just the action."I thanked her and went on my way. I got to chief Wallie`s office and knocked a very high pitched voice said "come in." I opened the door and saw a huge pile of empty donut boxes and an even bigger pile of full ones. Chief Wallie pushed five empty donut boxes onto the floor and gestured for me to sit down in the chair in front of his desk. We had a great chat I asked him all my questions and I was wiping my mouth with a napkin as I got to the door I threw away my napkin and said "thanks" and as I opened the door he said to me "There are words everywhere, especially in donuts."I closed the door behind me and thought, "that's the second piece of advice today." I was walking down the street on my way home and I spotted a homeless man on the side of the road pushing a cart. So I walked over to him and said "hi" and he said "hi how are you?" I said "not bad but I am having a problem with my English essay." He asked me if he could borrow some money for some food so I gave him five bucks and as I walked away he said to me "make your story exciting." "I see allot of exiting things out on the streets." That's the third piece of advice today I thought. I waved good bye and started walking again. I was almost home now I turned the corner took a few more steps and walked up my front steps. My parents yelled hello and I said hi I walked into the living room and saw dad with the Sunday news he asked where I had been so I told him everything and he said "OK" and I was about to go to my room to try to write this story right when my dad said "always say what if ? in your story." I said "great thanks" and went to write my master piece.
