Journal Prompt - Have you ever swam in a public pool, if not would you?


SUMMARY

     Brian and Jeannette found a ring in their house, they gave it to their mother to bring to a shop to see how much it was worth. When their mother came home, they asked her how much it was worth because it was apparently a genuine two-carat diamond. She said it didn't matter because she was keeping it because instead of getting the kid's food, she wanted to boost her own self-esteem. Later Jeannette urged her mother to leave her father because they can get some aid for food and clothes from the government. Her mother was disappointed that Jeannette would think of such a thing.
     Brain and Jeanette wanted to go swimming but the kids there made fun of them and told everyone that they had some sort of od disease, so they left without a swim. Jeanette's friend Dinitia told her to come in the morning the next day and swim with her because the kids who were picking on her wouldn't be there. Jeannette went and got to go swimming, she enjoyed it very much. Later when she was home a man knocked on the door. When she opened the door he looked very official. He was there to see the kids because someone had told him that there may be child neglect at that house. Jeanette sent him away quickly when she told her mother, she said she would think about what to do. Later, she told Jeannette that she would get a job.
