North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free.

An uninhabited house of two storeys stood at the blind end, detached from its neighbours in a square ground. The other houses of the street, conscious of decent lives within them, gazed at one another with brown imperturbable faces.
The former tenant of our house, a priest, had died in the back drawing-room.

The wild garden behind the house contained a central apple-tree and a few straggling bushes, under one of which I found the late tenant's rusty bicycle-pump. He had been a very charitable priest; in his will he had left all his money to institutions and the furniture of his house to his sister.

PLEASES!!!!! HELP !!!!

This is really simple! I recommend doing a drawing, even if you don't have any artistic talent. You can choose any topic, but here's some suggestions: your favorite animal, your favorite location, something you like to do, etc. Draw your topic and/or anything related to it. For the last question something like "I enjoyed having freedom on this assignment because it made it much more fun" would be good!
