Yes, bullet points for your character, you'll see the instructions a few posts up! We'll need that to move on to the next part

Hi all,
This is the homework task which is due on 16th October:
Write a jotter page and a half, almost like a diary entry, in the style of Link for your character. Remember that you’ll want to introduce yourself and let your reader know why you are homeless/travelling. Be creative- try not to stick to the same reasons as Link.
Good luck! ;D

Here is my home work ;D
Hi guys well my names Glenn Morton but personally I prefer just Glenn. I’m from Telford but I’m currently living in Birmingham, in fact I’m not really living, more using it as a place to sleep. I don’t have a house and I don’t have a job either, I’m 17 but because I have no house, I have no address and face it no-one will employ some that they cant get in contact with. I’m a dosser, one of those people that you see, or try not to see sitting outside the train station or a huge department store asking you for your money or anything that you have. I guess your probably wondering how I got this way, well no I didn’t spend all my money on drugs or drink I guess really it started when I was about 14, my parents died in a car crash and basically they left my nothing, I had no family left I got put into child care. When I turned 16 I left and got out of that place, I lived with lots of different families but I never liked it I wasn’t the same I just missed my own family to much. There was a few nice families but as I said it just wasn’t the same. So until about 4 months ago I was still in Telford but do you know how hard it is to see all your old school friends and teachers walk by you as you just sit there with your sleeping bag and old coffee cup, well I guess you won’t because you probably have a house, a job and a family. If you stay around for a bit I can tell you little bit more about what its like to be me and what its like to live on the streets.
306 words .

Hello all,
Here, as promised, are the quotations relating to the paragraph planner which you should all have at home withyou at the moment. Any questions, ask tomorrow.
Paragraph One: Link's Slang: "Hang about, and I'll tell you the story of my fascinating life."
Paragraph Two: "Well get fell in, my lucky lads"
Paragraph Three: "I don't give a toss what you haven't got, son."
Paragraph Four: "One cheeky little bugger actually asked me for change. 'Change? I'd change you, my lad, if I had you in khaki for six weeks'"
Paragraph Five: "In the meantime, though, I'm not sure what I'll do...I could leave London altogether."
Paragraph Six: "Ha ha ha! That's the sound of Shelter having the last laugh...the enemy has been attacked in strength, and has been repulsed."
Good luck!
;D

Hello Just to say I borrowed a book of Stone Cold from the library and I have got different quotes from it for each paragraph. Is it still correct or will I have to change them? Karen
