Never the less I set out confidently but unfortunately so far I have been disappointed. We have just a few days to catch a few hundred cattle and after the first day we failed to catch any. Just when we think this is a hopeless search we spot cows grazing! We see 1 Cattle 2... 3... 4... we know that we have done it! Quickly we round them up and march proudly up to our camp site when suddenly they rebel! we fight desperately to keep control but these cows are not giving up that easily. Eventually after a few hours of chasing in the sweltering heat we ease them back under control as we wipe the sweat from foreheads. Suddenly a question crosses our mind: how can these animals survive in this horrible drought? We know we have to drag the cows higher to the windmill station were we can pump all the water we please! So now the Cows are ready for the Summer round-up.

As you read this paragraph, see if you can identify all the[|prepositional phrases] used by Steinbeck to convey the dramatic return of rain after a long, painful drought. //Underline the prepositional phrases.//

Over the high coast mountains and over the valleys the __gray clouds marched in from the ocean__. __The wind blew fiercely and silently__, high in the air, and it swished in the brush, and it roared in the forests. The clouds came in brokenly, in puffs, in folds, in gray crags; and they piled in together and settled low over the west. And then the wind stopped and left the clouds deep and solid.

The muddy lakes rose higher, and the steady rain whipped the shining water. At last the mountains were full, and the hillsides spilled into the streams, built them to freshets, and sent them roaring down the canyons into the valleys. The rain beat on steadily.

The muddy water whirled along the bank sides and crept up the banks until at last it spilled over, into the fields, into the orchards, into the cotton patches where the black stems stood. Level fields became lakes, broad and gray, and the __rain whipped up the surfaces__. Then the water poured over the highways, and cars moved slowly, cutting the water ahead, and leaving a boiling muddy wake behind. The earth whispered under the beat of the rain,

I think Cats are cute, which is why I would choose a cat for a class pet. I think a cat would be best for the class because they are very independent. They will never disturb people during learning hours and they could be fun to have during class. They never need to have walks, they just sit and sleep except for times when they walk out but since they are independent you can always expect for them to return. They will also be fun to keep.

If we had a cat or any kind of pet people might be encouraged to come to class. People could bring cat food to class on special days. There could be a job list on who’s turn it was to bring the cat food in. If we kept it in the class room we would have to be sure that we keep the air con of or to raise the heat level in the class room so the cat was always comfortable.

If I got the chance to name the cat I would name it Garfield after my favorite cat. I hope however that this cat would not have the same features as Garfield, well hopefully not as lazy. Either way the cat would not distract people in class so that people could enjoy having it, but not have trouble paying attention, which would make class even more fun then usual.

It would also be amazing if we could keep the cat in the same class always, so that the following classes could enjoy having the cat also. This would mean that until the cat passes away it could become KIS’s house pet. It is worth mentioning that as cats have nine lives, this could be for a long time.

So now you know why I would like a cat as the class pet. Don’t you think its right to have an animal in the class that doesn’t make much noise, is independent, will not distract the whole class, and that will make people look forward to school? I do. So here’s to Garfield. When can we get him?
