Analysis Of The Word Toodle

2 React: I really like this article. It was really funny to read. It is very rare to lost your wallet and get some of it back two weeks later. Most people lost their wallet and never ever get it back. Reilly Flaherty and Brynn Gingras make this story hilarious to read. The note that the anonymous guy writes was the funniest. The anonymous take the money and stuff, but sent a letter explain about it.
3 Relate: I can relate to this because I have lost my wallet before, but luckily I found it later. I forgot my wallet on the bus, so I went to the bus station and told the customer service representative. I told her what bus I was on and the time. She went to the bus and amazingly it still there. It is rare that nobody saw it on a sit of a public

1 Question: I am confuse with the word “toodles”. I’m not sure what the meaning of it is. Why does the anonymous guy write that at the end of the note? When I google the definition for the word “toodles”, I found that “toodles” is a shortened Anglicized version of the French phrase à tout à l 'heure which means goodbye. Likely a shortened form of a spoken word with many spellings, including toot-a-loo, too-da-loo, toodaloo, toodle-oo, toodleoo.

2 React: I don’t like the write’s way of putting it. It isn’t really the kind of the worst. There are a lot of people out there that stole and rob wallets. They are even worse than this anonymous guy. This guy picked up a wallet in the street, which he doesn’t have to return anything back like many people would have done. I think this writer is kind of hard on the anonymous guy. Maybe because he have lost his wallet recently. 5. Evaluate: The only thing that I like about this article is that it have the picture of the note that the anonymous guy write for Reilly Flasherty. The guy who drop his wallet at the theater. I think the “Missing Wallet’s Contents Returned with Note Confirming Thief Is Kind Of the Worst” is bad. The write didn’t write about the part when Reilly Flaherty receive a free tickets to an upcoming show by the King Theater where he lost his wallet. The write left out important

    The performances offered here are actually pretty good though. Andrew J. West brings a nice everyman performance, and he keeps the film believable as the story becomes more and more preposterous. The other notable here is Googy Gress playing the villain of the piece Foster Cotton. Gress doesn’t actually fight the preposterous nature of the story, he dives in head first, and benefits from it.…

    Peer Review 1: No Name Cognition: I think that your proposition is good and definitely falls within the genre of a justificatory argument. However, I’m not sure that your argument feels like a justificatory argument. This seems to me to be like an explanatory piece overall because you don’t provide much evidence to support your proposition. You explain the background of your argument, but you don’t explain why the debate about Cleopatra’s race has relevance and why it should continue. This is especially since you say that we can never really know her race; it raises the question of what the point is of talking about it.…

    Tipped from pot luck, it seems you were, possibly from pot ‘bad luck’, as falling hitherward from high, I see you are. A fleeting descent. Use its moment to look down and meet the mire that waits to greet you. Feel its momentum slam you down—slap you into the slop. A silted, muddied, water’s edge bescrawled with the swirls, curls and twists of a wet stick.…
