A day in the life and home of a child in an informal settlement.

The Day in the Life and home as a child in a Informal settlement.

My name is Josh I live in a informal settlement in Dunoon. My family is very poor we live in a raggedy shack. But it isn’t so bad when you get used to it.
First of all I love the area I live in because all my friends live so close to me. There’s a fun park down the road. There’s a beach right next to my house, most of the time we have the beach all to ourselves.
I have a dog his name is Diesel, he’s so much fun when ever I am sad he comforts me. We always play and have a lot of fun. I love him so much.
I don’t have a brother or a sister, but when my dad was going to sell some oranges on the street. He saw a little girl trying to get some food, so my dad took her home, he gave her some oranges. She doesn’t have a name, so we called her Becky, she sleeps in my room. I was upset at first but I got used to it.
But what I would really want is a light and quiet place to do my homework.
I wish that I was closer to my school, so I don’t have to walk up steep hills, I have no shoes so I always get blisters in my feet.
Also I wish I had a nice roof over me. One time I forgot to put my work in my bag and a giant drop of water spilled over my work.
Also when I am sick I have to wait in these long lines to see one doctor. One time I was so sick the line ended at my house.
I really wish I had some food for lunch, I only get food once in 2 days.
But I love my family and that’s all I care about.

I am in Grade 4 and were using this book for are novel. The Butterfly Lion makes me feel determined because I just want to finish. This book is so frustrating because I just want to now what happens at the end of this book! I felt super exited when Bertie found his white lion. Also the book started of on a true story. The person who made the book was Micheal Morporgo. In the story Bertie won the VC award for saving two badly wounded men even though he was badly wounded.
