THE TOWN

BAD IDEAS

Roewich town

Roewich town is based off the small towns I grew up in New Hampshire, since I wanted Roewich to be located in New Hampshire I named the town using the Anglo Saxon system. For instance, the suffix 'wich' means producing or farming and roe meaning fish eggs. Roewhich town is a town that is known for its production of fish eggs at some point.

This town is quite small and close knit though it is easily connected to smaller cities that are close by. Roewich is known for its greenery, streams and rivers and it's quite popular to visit during the summer as it has some of the best small town camping grounds though not much really happens around this town, but Alex finds new interesting things about Roewich by looking up and reading through the town's history and rediscovering new old places that many have not come to visit again.

BIIRA AND I FIRST LEARNED TO SKATE BY PUSHING EACH OTHER FROM THIS BRIDGE

This is one of the streets that is filled with shops where the whole town eventually goes to because this particular street has a coin laundry and dry cleaning service named Joe's Laundery (Alex believes it's because the owner Joe launders money here but when confronted he assures her that it's just a

typo, but Alex doesn't buy it) a diner, and the town essential- the Soy Boy shop where Alex works as a delivery person for soy goods. There's a YMCA building where Alex used to go to and other shops she usually hangs out to either meet people or the most likely scenario is running a couple errands for her parents.

THIS IS THE SOY BOY TRUCK THAT WE RECENTLY GOT. IT'S LIKE AN ICE CREAM TRUCK BUT WITH SOY STUFF?

When making this town I wanted the town to be large enough that they are not living in the villages or have no immediate access or understanding of news but small and large enough that it is safe for a child to explore and not immediately be bored. The town I wanted to make is small enough that people do know each other but not too small where there is no room for strangers.

The streets of this town are quite nice and large enough that most of the children eventually learn to ride a bicycle or skate in order to get from one place to another as busses do not really come by that often into the culdesac neighborhoods that most of the people live in. Though the occasional busses run through Roewich from different cities.

Roewich is meant to be a small town old town that people have come and settled in. A town full of history of its own though many may not think that it is the important kind of history, but for most of the town folk here it is their lives, Roewich is where they call home and where they come home to.

Alex could you please do me a favour and drop off some pumpkin seeds to Biira’s parents please thanks honey! I promised Mr. Bwambale some pumpkin seeds to grow just in time for halloween this year.

Also can you pick up the dry clean stuff at Joe’s Laundery later at 3 today. Me and dad won’t be able to get there before it closes. Dinner is already in the fridge just heat it up. Sorry we can’t be home early today.

- Love Mom

MOM WILL NOT BE HAPPY

Here are a couple of notes and papers Alex collects that happen throughout her day.

THIS IS MY CULDESAC THE HOUSE WITH THE HEART ON IT IS MINE

Home sweet home

Alex's house is the house at the end of the culdesac. It's a small two floor and three bedroom house with two bathrooms. Alex has quite the adequate space in her backyard that she and her family built a tree house that connects to a mini basking piil area where her pet turtle Albert can swim and enjoy the sun while Alex is in her treehouse either reading or doing homework.

Alex's bedroom is usually a mess but that's because she lives a quite busy lifestyle, she's always rushing to move from one place to another and she just forgets that she has closests and shelves where she can store things.

Sorry I couldn’t come with to the book fair pumpkin, but what about this weekend we fix up and add stuff to the tree house in the backyard okay? Love you -Papa

alfred leone

Alfred the pet turtle resides in Alex’s bedroom where he has a comfortable heat lamp and a little house but he just likes plopping in the middle of the chaos that is Alex’s room to bask in the sun.

When Alex saw Alred the turtle at the pet store it was love at first sight for the two of them, Alex came in everyday to see Alfred and she even got her first job at Soy Boy because she wanted to be able to purchase Alfred herself and show her parents that she is responsible and committed enough to be taking care of another animal, To Alex this all paid off because to her Alfred was the most fascinating turtle, to her Alfred was his own person and he had his own personality.

Alex would occasionally walk Alfred and take her wherever she was off to.

Barbara biira

Barbra Biira though would rather be called Biira, she has been Alex's friend since they were in kindergarten. The two are practically inseparable! Biira's family comes from Uganda. Biira and her family love sharing their culture to Alex.

Biira is a bookworm, she enjoys learning about different cultures and writing her own stories and enjoys spending her time skating with Alex around Roewich.

STUDENT NOTES OF MRS. FITZ OF GRADE 7

Full Name : BARBARA BIIRA Birthdate : OCTOBER 10, 1996 Birthplace : ROEWICH, NEW HAMPSHIRE

Age : 14 Height : 5’4 ft Weight : 102 lbs

Note : A WONDERFULLY CURIOUS CHILD AND A VERY ADVANCED READER. MUST REMIND THE LIBRARIAN TO NOT BORROW THE GRADE 10 BOOKS OUT TO THE YOUNGER CHILDREN.

Though Biira is more introverted than Alex she does enjoy going on adventures and discovering their town with Alex. The two like to communicate with walkietalkies and though it can be unconventional they both like the idea of using them rather than just calling on the telephone. The two together are a weird but great. Like a french fry dipped in ice cream.
