Alligator Snapping
Turtle
I am like the moon
People see me but
never come near
They wonder what I am
and what I’m like
I am an Alligator
Snapping Turtle
People say that I
don’t look like Normal turtles
I agree
I look in the water
at times
I’m a beast
Sometimes I even make
kids cry
I don’t want to hurt
anyone
But if someone comes
into my territory
I need to defend it
Not that it matters
I don’t have a family
It’s just me
Sometimes I wonder
what I’m going to do later
I wonder if I’ll have
kids
But for now I’m just
living in the Flint River
An ugly Alligator
Snapping Turtle on a quest
FDR
accomplished many things in his lifetime. He created the New Deal, got married,
and even became president. But like everyone’s life, certain people shaped his.
Two people that did this were his mother, Sara, and his wife, Eleanor. Sara
always had to be around Roosevelt. She became very attached to him and never
wanted to leave. She even moved in next to him and his family. This got
Roosevelt attached. Eleanor always took care of him. When he was first
diagnosed with polio, Eleanor stayed with him and supported him. She also
helped keep his name alive by speaking to public crowds. During FDR’s life, he
built a resort. The resort was for polio patients. The warm water was supposed
to make the patients feel better. FDR used two thirds of his personal money.
FDR also made the New Deal. The New Deal was different kinds of programs that
employed people without a job. FDR also was a big help in trying to stop the
Great Depression. FDR was a true hero and cared for everyone no matter what.
