In the text it says  “She came out pulling at her gloves, face bright with rouge. I smiled.”When this happened it tells you that her face is bringing him happiness and that it lights up the setting from it being cold and dark but when she comes out his world seems brighter and happier that she is around him.Also in the text it states “A nickle in my pocket and when she lifted a chocolate that costs a dime I didn’t say anything.”When he did this it tells you that even though he doesn’t have enough money and won’t tell her and is willing to go through anything to get the chocolate for her and make her happy.]]> 2018-02-23 16:12:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234761277 Hunter Dalby https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234762067 I think the poet from oranges feels in love. He feels that way 
because he likes her and he has fallen in love with her. I think 
he is in love because the way he treats her. He treats her like 
a queen. In the poem it says, “I took my girl’s hand.” The poet 
takes the girl’s hand and they walk two blocks while holding 
hands.

When he holds her hand he is like protecting her and showing his love for her. But, when he lets her go, he doesn’t want to though he is letting her do her thing Also in the text, “... And when she lifted a chocolate that cost dime, I didn’t say anything. I took the nickel from my pocket, then an orange, and set them quietly on the counter. When I looked up, the lady’s eyes met mine, and held them, knowing very well what it was all about.”  In my opinion, I think he is very good to this girl. He cares for her a lot to buy this even though he only has a nickel and two oranges, he still couldn’t afford it. When he saw a smile light up on her face he knew he was making her happy, and that made him very happy.

in the poem “oranges” i think the poet feels in love.i think this because the poem said”And asked what she wanted —Light in her eyes, a smile Starting at the corners Of her mouth. I fingered A nickel in my pocket,And when she lifted a chocolate That cost a dime, I didn’t say anything. I took the nickel from My pocket, then an orange, And set them quietly on The counter. When I looked up, The lady’s eyes met mine, And held them, knowing Very well what it was all About.

She makes him want to do all these different things for her, and he can’t bare to let her down. As the author said in the text, “I fingered a nickle in my pocket, And when she lifted a chocolate, That cost a dime, I didn’t say anything.”  This is important because it shows that even though he couldn’t afford the candy bar, he was willing to try and get it anyways. Showing, that he just wants to make her happy, and for her to like him as he likes her. The author also says, “I took a nickel from, My pocket, then an orange, And then set them quietly on, The counter. When I look up, The lady’s eyes met mine, and held them knowing, Very well what it was all, About.” The boy was willing to try anything because he didn’t want to disappoint her. He had stared into the cashiers eyes, just hoping and praying that she would help him out letting him have the candy bar, for a nickel and an orange.]]> 2018-02-23 16:16:26 UTC https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234763292 Brooke W. https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234763775 The poet feels a strong connection with this girl. He feels a strong connection with the girl because he likes her a lot. He feels nervous at first and by the end he was super happy because he’s in love. According to the poem “Oranges” it states “I fingered a nickel in my pocket, And when she lifted a chocolate that costs a dime, I didn’t say anything.” The boy wanted to buy her the chocolate even though he didn’t have enough money because he wants to make her happy and have her like him as he does her. “I took the nickel from my pocket, then an orange, and set them quietly on the counter. When I looked up, The lady’s eyes met mine, and held them, know very well, what it was all about.” The boy paid for her 10 cent chocolate with a nickel and an orange because he’s love with her and wanted to get it for her. The poet is in love, and was nervous and happy throughout the poem.]]> 2018-02-23 16:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234763775 Matthew Hamburg https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234763867 The narrator feels love for the girl and is really happy with her.
 In the text it says“She came out pulling at her gloves, face bright with rouge.  I smiled, touched her shoulder.”  He is so in love with her that he can’t be unhappy when he is with her.  Later in the text it says “I took my girls hand in mine for two blocks, then released it to let her unwrap the chocolate.”  He does not want to let go of the girls hand because he is so happy when he is with her.

He loves her because she makes everything happy and makes things brighter. I know this because it says “I peeled my orange that was so bright against the grey of september that, from some distance, some might of lough i was creating a fire in my hands.” It also says that he was very cold until he was with her. This shows that even in the cold of september their love keeps him warm and happy and their relationship is like a new flame. ]]> 2018-02-23 16:17:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234764000 Emma French emma_m_french https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234764126 The poet feels happy because he loves having this girl in his life. I know this because every time he was with her everything was bright and when he was not everything was gray and cold. For example,  “Frost cracking beneath my steps, my breath before me, then gone, as I walked toward her house, the one whose porch light burned yellow night and day in any weather.” This shows that when he’s not around her everything is gray and cold like when he was talking about the frost underneath his steps. Then when he is around her things turn bright like when he walked up to her house the porch lights shine bright yellow like any other day. So I guess you could say she lights up his day.

The poet has a strong opinion on the girl because he likes her, he feels anxious around the girl and excitable. Yet he cares for her, because he’s in love. In the poem Oranges “I fingered a nickel in my pocket, and when she lifted a chocolate that cost a dime, I didn’t say anything. I took the nickel from my pocket, then an orange, and set them quietly on the counter.”. Here the poet is giving up his nickel and his orange just so he could get the girl her chocolate bar. The poet is doing this because he likes the girl and would do anything just to make her happy.]]> 2018-02-23 16:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234764192 Dylan hart/oranges poem https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234764361 I think the poet from “Oranges” feels in love. I think the poet feels that way because,  he is on a walk with a girl that he likes. He also showed his love when he got her some chocolate and he was also holding her hand. I smiled, 
Touched her shoulder. This shows he loves he because he smiles at her and touches her shoulder.

This can be showed through his actions. According to the text, ”I fingered a nickel in my pocket, And when she lifted a chocolate that costed a dime, I didn’t say anything.” Later in the poem the author said, “Of newly plant trees.”  In this poem and in this excerpt from it shows with her he is truly happy. In the drugstore when she picked a chocolate that he couldn’t afford he still tried to buy it for her anyway. And the trees symbolize the love between them sprouting or growing. ]]> 2018-02-23 16:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234764495 Dominic Costa dominic_m_costa https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234765314 The poet feels happy. He feels this way because is in love. I know this because in the text it states”And when she lifted a chocolate that costs a dime I didn’t say anything.”This is significant because it shows how the poet likes her because he is buying her something that he does not have enough money for and he is willing to try to get it anyway.]]> 2018-02-23 16:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234765314 Caden Saldana https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234765423 I think the poem from “Oranges” feels Love. I think he is in Love because in the poem it says “Newly planted trees” he is talking about how his relationship with the girl is growing. 
The Boy from “Oranges” feels that way because in the next scene after leaving the store. It say that “I took my girls hand and mine”this quote from the poem tell us that she’s trust him and likes him.
I know this because she was already happy when she stepped out the door. Then when they were walking down to the drugstore he touched her shoulder.

The Poet feels this way because he does truly love her. Because he wouldn't use his money on some random girl just for candy. He wants her to know how much he loves her. I know that the Poet in oranges loves the girl because.”I smiled touched her shoulder,and led her down the street.and  “I took my girls hand in mine for two blocks.”]]> 2018-02-23 16:20:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234765672 Jet Blanco https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234766416 The poet is happy and in love with the girl. He feels this way because in the text it states “A dog barked at me, until she came out pulling at her gloves, face bright with rouge. I smiled touched her shoulder and led her down the street” According to the text “When she lifted a chocolate that cost a dime, i didn't say anything. I took the nickel from my pocket, then an orange and quietly set them on the the counter.” for example “I took my girls hand in mine for two blocks,”. This proves that he loves her because he does whatever he can to make her happy, and him holding her hand shows that shows that he loves her.]]> 2018-02-23 16:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tconnor/86oll78mozv2/wish/234766416
