David mumbled a hi to the boys and Kloppman as he came in, and walked right to the bunk that he had shared with Les the night before.
He sat down, lost in thought, and started to think about how to word his opening sentence...

Jack had been right,and he caught Race before he got the kids stuff, "Why don' you help me keep order instead of causin' prodems Race." he said,laughing.
"Sure." Racetrack said,giving his cards to one of the kids, "You rip um kid,you buy me a new pack." he said,getting up and putting a cigar in his mouth and going over to a group of boys who were fighting over something, "Okay okay if yous don't stop I'll soak yas and you know I will!" they all stared at Race with wide eyes and dropped whatever it was.
Jack yawned,and looked at the clock above the wash rooms. It was 10:00,boy howdy, he thought. how long did we stay at Meddas? he looked around at David who was staring at the notepad.He though of going over there but didn't. Not yet.

'Child Labor; A Disgrace To Own Country'
He sighed; well, he had a title.
'In the mighty city of New York, there is a new industry; child labor. Large companies and industries have begun to use a cheaper source of labor; children. These young people, boys and girls, are taken into all kinds of jobs. They could be doing anything between selling newspapers on the street, to working in sweat shops.'
He stopped. He thought that there was someone looking over his shoulder. He turned to look behind him.
"Racetrack," he said, "What are you doing? I'm not nearly done!"

"What?" Race said, "Can't a guy watch anudder write an article?" he laughed.
Just then screaming was heard as Jack came out of the washroom,toting two 9 year old Newsies under his arms, "soakin' each udder wit da shower heads is stoopid,plus it uses up da water for in da morning'." he said,looking at the two like they were idiots, "I catch yas doin' it again, I'll be da one soakin' yas and it won't be wit water."
((hah.I can see something like that happening.)

David gave Racetrack a shove. He watched as Jack played peace-maker, laughing.
"Jack, you'd make a good father. You are pretty good at keeping the other kids in line! How about you read my fist paragraph?"

Jack laughed,letting the kids go, "Nah," he said, "I ain't dat good wit kids."
RAcetrack stuck his tounge out childishly at David for shoving him.He pushed DAvids hat down over his eyes and ran off."
"Sure." Jack said,going over and looking at it.

Jack read it over then handed it back, "I like it." he said, "Good woik Davey."
Racetrack snatched it from David and read it himself, " Bravo!" he said,clapping then handing it back to David.

"Thanks gents!" David smiled.
'Now for the rest of it,' he thought, 'I want to make the readers cry. To know what these kids go through.'
"Hey, Jack," David looked around the room, "Where's Les?"
He put down his pad and stood up, maybe hoping for a better view.
