=**Views of a River** = 
 * 1) Andrew:** He was looking at the river. It was so calm. He had had such a long day at school. He always went to the river after school. It was the only place that was peaceful and quiet. When he was at school, it was so loud and busy. He would try to get up the stairs but he couldn't. People walking straight into him and didn't say sorry. They just walked away without saying anything; they just kept on talking to their friends. At the river it was way different. He could see his reflection off the water. The little ripples in the water made him feel at peace.


 * 2) Andrew's mom:** She looked at the river. //Why is my kid so crazy? I just don't understand him anymore. He is like he is on his own planet. I don't know what to do with him. I could send him to boarding school. I don't know.// She got some bread and broke it so that she could feed the ducks.

she thought. //He thinks he's so cool and athletic but he's not. He just a big fat loser trying to act cool. I don't know why I dated him. He so mean.// She looked back down at the river. So soothing and quiet. //Nobody to bother me or be mean. No more gossip or rumors.// The only sound she heard was the river's water.
 * 3) Character:** She had a hard time with her boyfriend. She just broke up with him. //I can't stand him,//
