What Chicago is Like Nathanael B.

Chicago is

chaotic

It is

mostly sad

Popeyes

is good

chicken

and drinks

Burger King is

trash

They have

nuts there.

Chicago is Like Brayden B.

Chicago

Chicago is like love

Love

Love is like magic

Magic

Magic is wonderful

Chicago is wonderful

Chicago Syndie C.

Chicago is a place,

Chicago is my place.

In Chicago you see wannabe gang members.

People eating gizzys –

People carjacking.

Chicago is just another reckless city

But it’s my city

Chicago is where my family is,

Chicago is my favorite rapper be out.

There is a place where I be at,

where my home is at.

The place is Chicago;

Chicago is my place.
