Capitalization

Literature Model

from A Secret for Twoby Quentin Reynolds

Montreal is a very large city, but, like all large cities,it has some very small streets. Streets, for instance,like Prince Edward Street, which is only four blockslong, ending in a cul-de-sac. No one knew PrinceEdward Street as well as did Pierre Dupin, for Pierre haddelivered milk to the families on the street for thirtyyears now.

During the past fifteen years the horse which drewthe milk wagon used by Pierre was a large white horsenamed Joseph. In Montreal, especially in that part ofMontreal which is very French, the animals, like chil-dren, are often given the names of saints. When the big,white horse first came to the Provincale Milk Company,he didnt have a name. They told Pierre that he could usethe white horse henceforth. Pierre stroked the softness ofthe horses neck; he stroked the sheen of its splendidbelly, and he looked into the eyes of the horse.

That is a kind horse, a gentle and a faithful horse,Pierre said. . . . First word First word

Barry asked, is it true that some native americans built pyramids?Anna answered, at the town of teotihuacn, people built pyramids dedi-

cated to the sun.Our teacher added, in the religious centers of southern Mexico, the

mayan people built pyramids with temples on top. In addition, she contin-ued, there are other ancient pyramids.

Ms. Nelson then told us about the pyramids in egypt. The Great Pyramidstands near the nile river. It is believed to have been built about 2700 B.C.when pharaoh khufu reigned. some pyramids were actually the tombs ofegyptian pharaohs.

Maybe we will still be studying pyramids when you return next week. Allof us at west middle school miss you.
