It went fairly well and I think it went a lot better, I think that the fact that I did notes a little at a time and kept up with my notes, and I think that it helped me a lot to read more efficiently and faster.]]> 2021-05-25 11:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557200193 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557206023 The only flaw that I see, and it is more a preference flaw, I think that even though the book is based on the real story, and has a lot of real historical places and I think that gets a little bit boring when you're reading for a long period of time. I think it is also a strength though because the detail can be good in other scenarios.]]> 2021-05-25 11:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557206023 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557218217 I usually have a good amount of time before I go to sleep, so instead of being on my phone I used that time to read. The week before I would read mostly in school and didn't use the free time I had during laying on my bed.]]> 2021-05-25 11:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557218217 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557222740 How do you think that going into the war has changed Louie as a person, how do you think that changed him as a member of society and how will it change his life after the war?]]> 2021-05-25 11:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557222740 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557227949 Everyone that has been involved in war has been impacted because of all the trauma and he still has memories from war. ]]> 2021-05-25 11:53:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557227949 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557227967 How do you think not only the vivid diction of the writer, but also the pictures provided by the author help you to paint a picture in your head, do you think his writing style and pictures help you to stay more engaged, and do you think that it helps paint a picture of the real image of war?]]> 2021-05-25 11:53:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557227967 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557236357 A flaw in the novel is something that Dhruval has already wrote, the book gets a little boring after awhile of reading it. So what I do is read until I get a little bored of it. It engages the readers by talking about how people go through traumatizing times and how can impact you. It helps you understand a lot more.]]> 2021-05-25 11:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557236357 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557246995 I was able to read some of the story and was not able to finish it.

However, it might jus be the beginning and I need to keep reading.]]> 2021-05-25 12:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557255521 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557256346 The pictures help out people like me understand more of what is going on.

I had trouble reading this week and actually paying attention and understanding the story, instead a lot I had to reread because I would just be saying the words.]]> 2021-05-25 12:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557272057 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557274597 What do you think the author is trying to communicate and get across by including Louie's war experience? ]]> 2021-05-25 12:13:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557274597 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557283272 I think including Louie's war experience shows how war impacts people. It also can be a strength because the details they use throughout the book could help you in a scenario. ]]> 2021-05-25 12:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557283272 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557289313 I think that Louie will be greatly affect as in the opening of the book he was stranded at sea for nearly a month and will clearly be traumatized from that hopeless month of extreme hunger, and thirst. ]]> 2021-05-25 12:18:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557289313 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557289365 A flaw that I personally have about the novel is that I feel like it is not very interesting and that makes it difficult to read after a couple of minutes. Instead I dose of or are just saying the words and not actually trying to understand them. ]]> 2021-05-25 12:18:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557289365 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557294497 I think Louie is probably a little upset at this series of misfortune, however Louie seems committed to the army and eager to serve his country based on his actions in the section.]]> 2021-05-25 12:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557294497 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557298045 I believe the pictures help as create scenes of images of Louie because the pictures give us how he actually looked and they are helpful in creating imagery of multiple scenes.]]> 2021-05-25 12:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557298045 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557298931 I think that including the experience shows the mental and physical strength of Louie it also shows the ruthless nature of war and how it can sweep up and change someones life, we never know what Louie is capable of in track anymore.]]> 2021-05-25 12:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557298931 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557303109 I think that the imagery is needed to paint a picture of the war and show the difference from Louie's past life to his life during the war, but I think that it helps keep the reader engaged and in tune with the book.]]> 2021-05-25 12:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557303109 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557305890 I think Louie wanted to serve his country, but I think the war made him a lot tougher mentally, and I think that the extreme hunger and thirst and limits he was pushed to made him stronger as a person because he would do anything to survive.]]> 2021-05-25 12:24:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557305890 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557313013 I think the pictures help to physically see the story instead of just imagining it. It help to make the story a little more realistic in your head, instead of just making up how a character or location may look like. You can physically see it and it helps so that everyone in the group has the same idea of how the characters looks like. ]]> 2021-05-25 12:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1557313013 raffaele_burgasquadrito https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1558010884 In my opinion the pictures help a lot since it gives us a strong visual of the story, and gives us a creative imagination towards it, gives us an idea of what the setting looks like and what the characters look like.]]> 2021-05-25 15:13:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/3v43692znjg50xdi/wish/1558010884
