lovely bones

When Susie's father says that the penguin is in a perfect world he means exactly what he says. He says this because the penguin is in the snow and that is where the penguin belongs. I think that since Susie can't do anything about what is happening on earth that she feels trapped. Susie doesn't see her heaven as a perfect world since she isn't with her family.

Jordan approached the plate as he was watched and laughed at. He was beside the plate trying to play baseball with a football. He quickly and carefully ran inside the dugout. There he found hairy and smelly dog and an ugly cat fighting. Wow! He exclaimed. Picking up the bat he diligently began trying to impress his grandma by winning the game. It looked as though Jordan's team would lose, but out of nowhere his grandma yelled, "go get em' Jordan." She was quickly looked at and she distracted everyone. Jordan hit a home run and the team won. They all went to Dairy Queen where Jordan ordered a big and nasty cheeseburger and they all lived happily ever after.
