Money and Work Literary Analysis

Crows and Swallows You Are Probably Asleep Right Now... I really like the image that this poem creates. The late night image with the TV glowing. It’s a very calming poem.

Great paragraph. Egg nog is my favorite drink and I also love baking cookies near Christmas. When you say hangout with our cousins I think you meant to say our not are.

Commented Dec 14, 2018 on The Power of Collective Tradition at Kennealy

Commented Dec 14, 2018 on Tradition Narrative Paragraph at First

I like how you describe that your Christmas was uneventful but joyful because you were with your grandparents.
