Essay #2

           There are many ways to describe the word "strange". It could be a strange way to throw a basketball, it may be a strange way to talk. No matter how you describe it, there are many people who take this word, and make it a living.

           (TS)There are many people in this world who could be called strange, but I know someone who loves to put this word to good use. (SD1)Her name is Mary, but everyone calls her Hawk Eye Mary, because she is oddly always watching our neighborhood. (CM1) If I look outside my bedroom window, I can see Hawk Eye standing on the porch. (CM2)If she is not on the porch, I can look closer and see her staring out her kitchen window. (SD2)When Hawk Eye is not on the porch or in the window, she is usually taking care of her garden. (CM1) Her garden is in her front lawn, so she can still watch what is going on. (CM2) What I also find weird is while she is watering her garden, she wears a huge hat and flowered gloves. (SD3) The final awkward thing that she does is talk to her dog. (CM1) I was walking by her house on day, and she got unusually mad at her dog. (CM2) Except instead of saying,"No, bad dog!" She said,"Oh you are a silly dog. Don't you know that you aren't supposed to do that, I taught you better than that." (CS) I have never seen a single person as strange as Hawk Eye Mary.

          Although strange, she is a person, and people aren't perfect. I bet you have acted strangely in your lifetime. It is not bad to be strange. It helps us learn from our mistakes. Hawk Eye Mary is a person, and people are strange.
