Franklin D. Roosevelt and Me
by Jafet, third grade writer
Have you ever heard of Franklin Delano Roosevelt? He was the 32nd President of the United States. Franklin and I are alike and different in many ways.
Franklin and I are alike in some ways. He had a remarkable childhood by having some horseback riding lessons, and I have a remarkable childhood by getting lots of presents on Christmas. Franklin liked to collect stamps, and I also like to collect stamps. Franklin was a very nice person, and I am a very nice person, too. Franklin respected lots of people, and I respect lots of people, too.
Franklin and I are different in many ways. Franklin made lots of models of ships, but I haven’t. Franklin had polio, but I don’t have polio. Franklin was President of the United States, but I am not President of the United States of America...yet. Franklin also lost his father, but I haven’t lost my father.
When I grow up I want to be just like F.D.R., but nobody will be another F.D.R. Just like there will never be another me.
Leonardo da Vinci and Me
by David, third grader
Do you ever wonder if you have something in common with someone famous? You could, and I do. I have some things alike and different with Leonardo da Vinci.
Leonardo had a huge feast when his nephew got married. I had a huge feast too, when my sister got married. Leonardo did not believe in war. I don’t believe in war, too, like him.
Leonardo da Vinci was a hard working artist. Although I am not an artist, I would like to be a hard-working man. Leonardo was a scientist. Although I am not a scientist, I would like to invent stuff. Leonardo was from Vinci, Italy. I am not from Italy, but I am from America.
You can see Leonardo and I have some things alike and different. I hope this can teach other readers about Leonardo da Vinci.
