These are actual topic sentences from Punk's second grade journal:

• Once an egg went to a gravely, dusty wall to think about life.
• The mother forced her innocent son to do homework - was she working for the devil?
• If you were on my imagination island, you'd look to the left and see a small, cabinish, wood tree fort on four stilts.
• It was Jimmy's first birthday . . . and his last.

And then there was the next assignment:
