My dogs name is Ben. I got him a year ago, and we've became best roommates throughout our time. As some may know, there's always something wrong with a roommate. This one in particular is loud and messy. I do all of the work around the house, while he sits down being lazy. A week ago, it rained, that was the day I asked him to clean his dishes. He just sat and stared at me with a confusing look. I rolled my eyes and did them myself. After it stopped raining, he told me he was bored. I finished the dishes, and I took him outside. I told him to wipe his feet before he stepped on the floor. In the morning, as I was getting ready to make coffee, I noticed prints. They were flooding the front door. This became a habit for him, and I was sick of it. Finally, while watching a doggy clothing commercial, I got the bright idea. My package arrived 3 days later. "There you go ben-" I told him, "The next time you go outside, put these rain boots on." It was no longer a problem, though I had to remind him every day. He had a little bit of training, and he turned into an amazing roommate.

i have read the novel roll of thunder hear my cry by mildred d. taylor.

1. this isn't like any other story i've read or watched because it is about a black family in mississippi right after slavery in the u.s. had become illegal. most of the novels i have read were about slavery. another point is that the author of the novel used symbolism in a way i haven't seen before. for example she uses thunder as something negative meaning something bad will happen. but by the end of the novel, she made thunder a good thing.

2.   one character that changed during the novel was stacey. stacey is the eldest child of the black logan family. around the begging of the novel stacey was avoiding the white boy jeremy simms. he had a dislike for jeremy's family. but at the end of the novel stacey began to like jeremy.

3. the author starts the novel with the problem that the children of the logan family have to avoid the white kid school bus while walking to school.

can you give us the options
