You start to understand that the people are offended because they thinks its disrespectful to talk like that to elders.

It is effective because it helps the reader visualize the building as living or human like, and how it could be unnerving, or comforting for the character. It helps us learn that the building is very large and that it's possibly very old because creaky vents and supports in a building usually mean that it's very old. This later contributes to the plot when someone burns it down, contributing that it could have been very flammable because of dust or old inner workings.]]> 2022-02-01 17:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2023867433 "We would not of (dreamed) of doing anything that would displease her."

Goal: Yes]]> 2022-02-04 16:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2029756618 Mirror - Half a Moon AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2029762336 At the camp, The main character sticks up for her half sister and this leads to them getting to know each other better, I can relate because I have stuck up for my brother when he was bullied.]]> 2022-02-04 16:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2029762336 "...built in bench sofas with a busy pattern on the fabric."(Home, p. 3) AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2029822314 The author uses personification, I know because they give human traits to inanimate objects. It is effective because it helps the reader visualize the pattern and how it could look busy. It helps us learn that the orphanage is a busy or stressful place.]]> 2022-02-04 17:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2029822314 "The black cottonwood trees with their healing balm release more of their white fluff, making it feel like we’re walking in a snowstorm. I am walking fast so we can hurry out of the rain, but Brooke can’t keep up, so I slow down, take Brooke’s hand." (Half a Moon, p. 8) AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2033407245 Denotation: A healing tree that was said to heal wounds, can heal peoples wounds too.
Connotation: a dark tree with cotton on it
Forgiveness and acceptance, positive.
The author used this to show how people had use it to make medicine, and called it the healing tree, and how then in the book it "heals" their anger. We learn the main character can be forgiving and kind, because she got to know Brooke.]]> 2022-02-07 15:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2033407245 Mercy, Raven, Brooke, Natasha p. 9 AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2033426057 In this section Raven and Brooke are talking about where they went, and Raven tells everyone they are sisters. This helps the reader understand that Raven finally excepted her. It's important because it shows she's no longer mad. It shows how being with her and having fun can heal someone, this reveals that even though her dad left for their family, it's not Brooke's fault.]]> 2022-02-07 15:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2033426057 "We meant to have her for our teacher forever."(Love, p. 1) AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2033426879 The author is using a Hyperbole because they are exaggerating how long they would wanted to have had her as their teacher. It's effective because it shows how much they loved her and how she treated them like adults and was never mad. The author included this because they wanted the reader to know how much the kids respected and liked the teacher, and how when she died, we would know how sad the kids would be, and how it affected them and their lives. We see this at the end when one of the kids goes with his parents to the cemetery to put flowers on her grave. When the kids say the beginning quote, this contributes to the plot when later on they don't do anything bad when there is a substitute teacher, even though their teacher isn't there. They do this because they don't want the substitute to give them a bad report and make their teacher mad.]]> 2022-02-07 16:00:13 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2033426879 "I mean I actually thought that if I could stop the sun from coming up, I could live." (Stop the sun, p. 7) AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2033429618 Denotation: To literally make the sun not come up and have dawn not happen
Connotation: To make it so the enemy wouldn't find him and keep him hidden.
The mood show in this phrase is scared and hopeful, it is negative because the man i looking back and feeling scare and angry at himself for thinking that.
The author used this phrase to show that even though he felt he knew he was going to die, he still held on to the hope that dawn wouldn't come and he wouldn't be found. It adds how hope is one of the strongest human traits, because even though he knew he would die, he still hoped he could stop the sun from rising. We learn that this time was very scary and hard for the main characters dad, because he lost all his friends and he didn't know if he would live.]]> 2022-02-07 16:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2033429618 Hakeem, Keisha, Lena, Priscilla, Bilal, Mom p. 9 AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2033552704 In this scene, the main character realizes that even though her brother ruin some of her things, he is still learning about his new life and wasn't trying to make her mad. We learn that she no longer is mad at her brother and that she still loves him. It's important because it shows she's moved on and forgives her brother. This reveal that Lena is a kind and caring person, she just needed to realize Hakeem wasn't trying to hurt her.]]> 2022-02-07 16:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2033552704 "He's turned into a parrot the last few days repeating everything we say." Home p. 6 AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2038200613 The author uses metaphor because Hakeem doesn't literally turn into a parrot, and they don't use like or as.
This is effective because it helps the reader visualize Hakeem as a parrot, repeating everything the family says. The author included this to show how Hakeem is learning about his new home and trying to talk with his new family. It helps us learn that even though he's having a hard time adjusting to his new life, he's trying to do his best for his new family.]]> 2022-02-09 15:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2038200613 Hakeem, Mama, Lena - p. 3 AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2038201339 In this section Lena and her family have flown to another country to see the kid they adopted, when he comes out to see them though he doesn't pay much attention to them, which makes Lena jealous and kind of sad. We learn that Lena was very excited to see Hakeem, but is let down when he doesn't come over to see her. This is important to the plot because it reveals that Lena is impatient, an wants him to to come over to her right away. We can infer though that over time Hakeem warms up to her and they become good friends.]]> 2022-02-09 15:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2038201339 "I was trying to perfect the art of becoming the human chameleon"(My Immigrant American Dream, p. 3) AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2046822824 The author is using metaphor because they compare themselves to a chameleon without like or as.
It's effective because it helps the reader visualize the author as a chameleon, blending into the background, or into everyone else. The author included this because they wanted the reader to see how the main character wanted to become someone else and blend into american society. It helps us learn that the main character is scared of being seen as "different" or "weird."]]> 2022-02-14 17:41:25 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2046822824 "He was like a super kid." (Super gifted, p. 121) AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2048871089 Denotation: above; over; beyond
Connotation: Someone very strong pr powerful.
The mood is positive and reinforcing.
The author used this to show how people think that the kid who stopped the truck is a hero. We learn that many people are grateful, but want the person to show themselves.]]> 2022-02-15 15:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2048871089 "and there would be a long pause while his eyes went away, far away."(Stop the Sun, p. 1) AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2069715509 The author is using a hyperbole, I know because they exaggerated that his eyes go really far away, but it's just where he's looking.
It's effective because it helps visualize his mind leaving and thinking about something important or big. The author included this piece to show how PTSD of the Vietnam war makes the main characters dad forgetful and makes his mind drift sometimes. It helps us learn that the dad had a really hard time in the war and that it was very scary for him, enough to give him reoccurring daydreams. ]]> 2022-02-28 15:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2069715509 Window - Stop the Sun AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2069731038 In the story "Stop the Sun" Terry's dad was in the Vietnam war, and suffers from PTSD, we can see this shown in the first scene when Terry talks about how he will stare off far away.

Support your answer with one piece of evidence. AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2069735076 Through the story the theme scene is hope is the strongest trait, we can see this through when the dad says "And I thought if I could stop the dawn, just stop the sun from coming up, I could make it." this shows how he holds on to hope even though he knows he would probably die.]]> 2022-02-28 15:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2069735076 In paragraph 2, the author writes that what really bothered Terry was when his father's eyes went away, what do you think this phrase means? AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2069736047 It means that his dads mind went someplace else, kind of like daydreaming, but where he relives moments from the war and experiences them again, this could upset him if he remembers things that were very traumatic for him. The phrase means to think of something else, or remember an event.]]> 2022-02-28 15:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2069736047 Why do you think the author started the story by describing Terry's problem? What effect does this have on the reader? AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2069736658 The author started the story this way because he wanted to show that this problem irritates him because no one will tell him what it is or what it means. This tells the reader that their family shuns what happened in the war as a way to not bring up the past and hurt the dad.]]> 2022-02-28 15:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2069736658 Mar. 28/class/9:20 AJ_Doge https://padlet.com/AJ_Doge/4d10y9wfzw8acm0d/wish/2117478794 time: 35 min
