Chapter Twenty

In this chapter, Ida expresses her admiration for Ms. Washington by saying "I was like a dog that would go fetch Ms. W.'s stick, even if it was in a snake's hole under a thorn bush that had just been sprayed by a skunk." (pp. 147-148)

This is beautiful writing.  Try your hand at it.  Try writing a sentence (and posting it here) like this, explaining something you would do for someone.  The only rules are no dogs, sticks, snakes, skunks, or thorn bushes allowed in your sentence.  And keep it serious, not silly, trying to write something like this, using it as a model.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
