Hallelujah Research Paper

Hallelujah woke up from her soft cozy bed. Same time for school everyday, even on the weekends. It was a part of her routine and she was so used to it. Sleeping in on Saturdays and Sundays were very difficult. When she got up, she shivered the cold in her room hit her like a slap after doing something wrong. She looked at the brown sack that held a secret she was dying to find out but Hallelujah had to head over to Lake Michigan. She headed over to her bathroom across the hall and used the pail of water to wash her face and scrub her teeth. She used the towel hanging on the rack to pat her face, dripping with water. Hallelujah put on her Saturday outfit, a typical long sleeve shirt with a gray, long fluffy jacket and put on some pantalettes. She headed downstairs with the sack in her hand and a tissue in another. As she headed downstairs, smelled a large whiff of Miss Tilly’s scrambled eggs topped with cheddar cheese, toasted bread, shreds of bacon, a sausage link and a cup of coffee. There was a side of strawberries too.

I used some of the strawberries in the garden. “ Miss Tilly exclaimed, “Come sit here!” Miss Tilly pointed to one of the chairs at the small circular tan table next to Mr. Joseph. Papa was out at work, helping our family. Mary-Jane was out in the garden, watering the plants and taking pieces of burnt cinder from the dirt.

She sat down with a plastered grin on her face. The smell of the food compelled Hallelujah to start digging in. She not only took a big bite out of the toast and chowed down on some of the eggs but she ate a bit of the bacon. She sipped some of the hot coffee and gulped.

“I am so hungry, Miss Tilly. I can eat a horse.” Hallelujah
