My personal object is my belt buckle. It's very special to me. I've had it sence I was five.
It was given to me by my grandpa Don Frazier, on my mothers side. He won it at a teampenning tournament. Not very many of them were made.
It's important to me because he's never really given me a hole bunch. But I am thankfull for what he has given me over the years. He won the buckle the year I was born.
What this buckle reveals about me is that I am a cowboy. And that relasionsips with family are important to me. I wear tahis buckle because he's not aroundthat much and I rarly get to see him.
If I ever lose it I would flip. And my mom would kill me. I could never talk to Don again.

Lottery paragraph

The lottery was good because of the death, the mystery, and the ending. The gore was good because of the blood. An example is the stoning of the woman. The mystery is great wondering what it is all about. Finding out what the lottery was. And the conclusion finding out what the lottery is really about. The entire story was good all of it. The gore, wonder, and conclusion. Finding out that the lottery was a human sacrifice.
