And when it says smooth, it shows expresion on the page. when it says slide, it's written diaginal like somebody is sliding diaginal]]> 2017-11-29 01:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/laura_hartley1/4mchuo9wot50/wish/211227639 https://padlet.com/laura_hartley1/4mchuo9wot50/wish/211340099

I kind of understand how it works. :)]]> 2017-11-29 14:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/laura_hartley1/4mchuo9wot50/wish/211391216 https://padlet.com/laura_hartley1/4mchuo9wot50/wish/211391546 The words don't fill up the whole page]]> 2017-11-29 14:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/laura_hartley1/4mchuo9wot50/wish/211391546 https://padlet.com/laura_hartley1/4mchuo9wot50/wish/211392537 I think the reason he wanted the story to be this way is because it gets the reader interested because not a lot of books are in poem style  ]]> 2017-11-29 14:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/laura_hartley1/4mchuo9wot50/wish/211392537 https://padlet.com/laura_hartley1/4mchuo9wot50/wish/211393530 The words don't take the hole page and they are written like a poem. I think he wrote it like a poem  because there were some riming words and I think he wants to be different than other people.
