Jaxson was walking home from school. He was thinking about his science project, so he didn't see Tannen and his friends up ahead. "Where do you think you're going?" Tannen asked in his meanest voice, blocking the sidewalk with his body. Jaxson was already starting to cry. Tannen couldn't believe what a wimp that kid was.

It had been raining for hours and the trail was muddy. Every time Haylie took a step her foot sunk into the slushy muck. Her pack was heavy and she was so hungry. At least they wouldn't have to set up tents tonight. The counselor had said that there were cabins at the campsite. Haylie hoped they would get there soon.

"Want to come to my house after school?" Kayla asked. "Umm, are you talking to me?" I replied. Kayla was the most popular girl in school. She had hardly ever even talked to me, much less invited me to her house. Kayla giggled, but not unkindly. "Do you see anyone else around?" she asked. "We can do our homework together. It'll be fun."

Coyotes Invade Downtown The discovery of a wild coyote in late 1997 in the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in downtown Seattle should come as a wake-up call. The United States has a serious coyote problem! From their traditional enclaves in the western desert, these opportunistic canines have now invaded the entire continental United States. They have taken over parks, farms, vacant lots, and now perhaps the downtown areas of major cities. Homeowners report losing cats and dogs to the beasts, and young children are under attack. Enough is enough. Since humans are the only natural enemy of coyotes, we demand that state and federal agencies institute coyote trapping programs. That is the only way to decrease the number of coyotes to a manageable level. WHAT IS THE AUTHOR'S PURPOSE?
