If they are going to treat him badly, they should give him to someone else who will treat him kindly.

(A) https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=894039 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=894039 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 12:01:39 -0500 I think that the "wise neighbor" isn't really that wise. The story doesn't say much about him/her and he/she. Why would angels eat mothballs any way? (P) (A) https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=894036 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=894036 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 11:56:18 -0500 They said he fell out of the sky because of the rain and that he was so old. I do see your point, though, because he wanted to take their child. I don't understand why an angel would do that. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=894031 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=894031 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 11:49:07 -0500 Why would an angel want to take their baby?

(P) https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=886601 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=886601 Thu, 16 Nov 2017 10:33:58 -0500 This makes sense! Although, I didn't sense the humor until he started listing the sports. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=886599 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=886599 Fri, 17 Nov 2017 10:58:45 -0500 I really like the authors humour in this story. I thought this was going to be really boring since it was nonfiction, but he made it really interesting. (C) https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=886584 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=886584 Mon, 11 Dec 2017 10:13:33 -0500 I get his point here, but he doesn't have any actual evidence as to why it would help children. Did he write this all on his own or look at a study? (A) https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=886583 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=886583 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 15:19:13 -0400 I feel uncomfortable in these types of situations, too. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=886577 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=886577 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 14:07:41 -0500 This is a simile because it uses "like" and compares two things.

Whenever I play dodgeball, it is always with friends and we are goofing off the whole time. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=886575 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=886575 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 12:46:28 -0500 I think the narrator will win the game.

I know plenty of kids that don't like sports and dodgeball.

Personally, we also have a family beach house and we all like to sit on the porch and hang out or go watch the sunset. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=881533 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=881533 Wed, 08 Nov 2017 11:30:13 -0500 Malt is a barley or other grain that has been steeped, germinated, and dried, used especially for brewing or distilling and vinegar-making.
