Answer:
linda sat at the table hard at work on a painting. she looked out the window studying the view of the backyard. what she saw seemed simple enough—trees, grass, large boulders, and a very blue sky—but to her the view had a pattern, a pattern that spoke to her and that she wanted to put in her painting. this painting was the one she would enter into the contest at school. she wanted so much to win the award . . it meant everything to her . . it would be proof that she was an artist. the award was what she thought about most every day and what she talked about to her family and friends. today both of her parents were at work. linda and her little sister, nina, her grandmother, and her baby brother, carlos, were at home. her other brothers, luis and miguel, were playing basketball at the community center just down the road. since it was the weekend, linda had time to concentrate on the painting, which she needed to finish by the next day. nina was sitting at the table too, doing her own painting of stick figures in bright colors. linda encouraged nina to paint and nina loved doing it. linda showed nina how to put the brush into water and then into the paint.
