THe Swan and Progressive tenses

Today in English, Mr. English god passed out the grammar quizzes and we got to work. It was a five question quiz on past and present progressives. When we all finished, he read us a story. He let us draw while we listened. The story was called “The Swan” and had a lot of symbolism. It was about two tough boys, Ernie and Raymond, playing with the gun that Ernie got for his birthday. Then they saw a little boy that they called “Watson”, the scum of the earth. They despised him; absolutely hated him. They did a bunch of bad things to him to try to kill him. We would never say that about the English God! During the story, I peeked over at Ella’s picture. She drew the scene when Ernie and Raymond were shooing the birds. Olivia decided to sit and listen instead of drawing. I couldn’t really concentrate because I had a yodeling song stuck in my head. Anyways, have a good class trip! And don't forget to have chapters 16-22 read by Tuesday with your job and journal response.
