Dear Sam, A couple of weeks ago, I was tired all of the time. I would find myself dragging my feet during baseball practice. I w
as so tired that my mom said, "You look like one of those zombies from a horror movie. Your face is pale, your eyelids are drooping, and your words sound like mumbles." After she said that, I started going to sleep earlier every night. It wasn't easy to give up that time in my day, but I can tell it was worth it because my brain no longer feels like pancake batter! I can think clearly, and my coach told me I was fielding the ball better than ever. I suggest you get more sleep, Sam. Nick In what ways does the dialogue in the letter paint a picture for readers?
