Letter to my mentor
Dear Mrs.Pallan
I have a big question. What triggers emotions? Like how does our brain just make us feel all kinds of emotions. Why can't we control it sometimes? I feel like when i'm angry or upset, i stay like that through out a whole day or more. I never know how to control my feelings. I never know what to do to calm myself down when i feel upset. My emotions can change in a split second.

Earth on Turtle's Back / Questions
The language in the text is different to the language that we use now by us using now is some type of slang words and contractions. And when it was first written some words from the language it came from might not exist in the language we now see it written in.
It is important for a story to be repeated word by word because some words can be passed on differently and the meaning may get switched up.
