Money
When I was younger we had some money, then they split, no one was happy, and no one had money. I had to live with her because the courts said so. They were stupid. Child support was sent every week or so. He never got behind. He cared. He cared more for us then her cared for himself, and always said things will get better. He was my night light in my bed room when I was in fourth grade and scared. I always missed him. My sister and I saw some of the child support go to food for us, but most of it she spent on herself, she was selfish, she was mean, and she liked to pretend like she was the stars, perfect in every way, She never got off the phone, I think that she just liked to hear herself talk. Even thought the money should have been spent on other things it was spent on her tanning, her nails, her clothes, and worst of all her cigarettes. She was like a Monster, a green money monster. Green as envy. Green for money she wanted, but didn’t have. She refused to get a job, and if she did get one she would, quit, get fired or give up because it was work. She is a seagull, always after good food. Well she was always after a man with money. She would date them, get their money, and dump them. She tried to quit smoking once, but it didn’t work. My whole life with her didn’t work. Ever. We were like pieces of a clock if one piece isn’t there the clock won’t work.

I like this paragraph. It gives a description of a green monster and yet a woman too.
nice job.
"He was my night light in my bed room when I was in fourth grader and scared."
this is really good.
i like how you explained who she was but didn't give too much information
* I like this piece of writing. Its very strong.
* I like how you talk about feeling safe with your dad.
* like all the green things you could relate with the money.

- I liked how you compared your relationship to a clock.
