My Homework. ;D Dear Mum I’m just writing to let you know that I’m okay, and everything is going alright for me. I recently met a really nice girl in a café, her name is Gail, she’s homeless too. I’m looking for a job right now but the DSS haven’t contacted me yet , and face it who’d ever employ someone that looks the way I do. I need to make sure that you know why I left, it was nothing to do with you and was defiantly not your fault. I had to get away from Vince, it was clear he didn’t want me there and I hope you know how he treated Carol. I really want to come home but I just feel too far away and as if I would have gone through all of this well…. living on the streets for nothing, I feel I wanted too do this almost to prove my point. Its too late to come back now. You would know what I mean if you were living the way I do, on a cold concrete floor. I forgot to tell you that I met this guy, he called himself Ginger. You would think that this would be a good thing, right but unfortunately it is just another disappointment in my life. Ginger was so nice he taught me how to survive on London’s streets, how to stand up for myself and mainly how to be a great friend. Sounds great doesn’t it, well no, just last week he went missing I arranged to meet um, and he never showed. Many other people have gone missing too, so now I’m having to be extra careful when I’m out and about. The police don’t listen to a dosser like me, and any way its not like anyone even cares about Ginger. I can’t imagine what it must be like to have no family, not knowing where you are at all. Send my love to Carol. I really just wish that you could right back. Love your son. 341 Words. Is it just me or does it look real short after you post it?? ;D

My letter.
Letter to Links mum.
Dear mum,
I hope you are ok. I am living in London now! I had to move down here because I had been at Caroline’s house for quite a while and I felt I had overstayed my welcome. I’m sorry I had to go but I couldn’t deal with the way Vince treated me, and especially you, any longer. I’m sorry.
Living in London is not as easy as I thought it would be, if I’m honest. But I was lucky enough to meet a friend called Ginger who has helped me out a lot and shown me how to survive down here. I haven’t seen him recently but I am getting used to being on my own. Being on the streets is a very lonely life but I am managing to survive and don’t plan to be homeless much longer.
I have been down to the job centre and careers office but it’s hard to stay in contact with possible jobs because I have no address but I will figure something out.
I have considered coming home and sometimes that’s all I want to do but I don’t have the money right now and I’m not sure what would happen with Vince and if everything could go back to normal.
I love you, Your only son.

These look great! Jenna- don't worry about it looking short after you have posted, they are a fine length. The exercise was to show an understanding of Link's relationships in the past and the text as a whole, and you have all (so far) done that admirably. See you all tomorrow period five

Hello!
Homework was to create your first character from the lyrics for 'Streets of Philadelphia'.
Think about:
- Physical things: How old, gender, what the person looks like etc. - Where the character lives - Where the character is from - Why they are homeless - What their background is: did they have a job? What about a family? Were they well-liked or an outcast, like they are now?
I am just looking for bullet-points just now!
