support 2:Its like your own room.Nobody can tell you how to decorate because its your lockers not there's.
Reason 3:You don't have to carry big fat book bags.
support 1: Instead of going every wear with a big book bag that is really heavy you can just put your things in a locker.
support 2:Big book bags that is really heavy is a lot of exercise and bad for your back this is why lockers are really good,so get one.
hey alex. this is hennessie just passing by to say this is okay. i like your reason 3
DeleteThank you Hennessie your so nice.
DeleteI agree with alex because for your first reason you put lockers can hold things, then for your supportings details you described what it can hold in it. You said that it can hold "Books,binders,paper, and anything else you need for school" which is correct. You also put for your second reason that lockers are fun and then you interpret details, such as "you can decorate your locker how ever you want,but you can't put nasty things" and then you said your locker is like your room you can decorate it how you want and nobody can tell you how to decorate it. Which is also true because decorating your locker is fun. When you went on to you third and final reason you said we don't have to carry big fat book bags, then explained it by saying "Instead of going every where with a big book bag that is really heavy you can just put your things in your locker" , Big book bags are bad for your back and is alot of excerise. So yes , i agree with alex.
