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.
