How I felt Reading today: I felt like I read a lot today, but I can do better.]]> 2022-02-03 17:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2027951921 christopherchung15 https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2027988017 The type of figurative language the author is using is simile, because the main character is comparing the flying object to a manta ray. This is effective because the description of the object tells us that this isn't normal, and is very alien like, and about investigate this mysterious object that Tucker and Quinn encountered. ]]> 2022-02-03 17:22:36 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2027988017 christopherchung15 https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2027995465 In the book, Tucker and his friend Quinn go out for a midnight ride when they are supposed to be at home, to talk about Marty's death. I never had someone I know die, and I learned that people have different ways of coping.]]> 2022-02-03 17:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2027995465 christopherchung15 https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2048865363 The author is using a metaphor in this sentence, because she is saying that she was being a human chameleon, by trying to fit in with Americans. This helps me understand that she is discriminated a lot for being different, and wants to be like everybody else, and doesn't feel comfortable having a darker skin.]]> 2022-02-15 15:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2048865363 christopherchung15 https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2048927283 "Why don't we all go!" he declared with a touch of desperation. "You know, a group thing like you see on TV." "That sounds like fun," Olivia said with genuine enthusiasm Quinn beamed. He had successfully derailed the express. "Sorry, Rook," Kent said. "Your father agreed to finish the lawn today and you're not even halfway done." he lifted up the lemonade pitcher and added, "Too many breaks I guess" And the train was back on the tracks."
This dialogue between Kent, Olivia, and Quinn shows that when things are not going well for Kent, he acts desperate. Kent wanted to go to the movies with Olivia but Quinn didn't like that and wanted to derail Kent. And whenever things go right for Kent, he gets back on the rails and acts like a jerk again. This shows that Kent only likes it when things go well for him.]]> 2022-02-15 16:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2048927283 christopherchung15 https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2049113382 Connotation: Big sister is a older female sibling
Denotation: She is taking care of Brooke as if she was her little sister.
The mood is positive because Natasha is hugging Brooke to comfort her. This helps me understand that Natasha cares for Brooke, and that Natasha is a kind person.]]> 2022-02-15 17:22:57 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2049113382 christopherchung15 https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2051152018 Connotation: A type of flower
Denotation: Miss Vera Brown is kind and gentle like a flower.
The sentence has a positive mood, because the kids like Miss Vera Brown because she is kind and gentle, and not boring like the other teachers. ]]> 2022-02-16 15:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2051152018 christopherchung15 https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2051373684 "This Is...this is wrong," I said. "Wrong?" Feit said with a scoff. "What could be wrong about unlocking your full potential? Now you can show the team what you've really got... and Olivia too." I snapped back at him. How did he know about Olivia? My blood was racing and I didn't think it was only because off the Ruby. It was like the salts had increased my brain power as well as my physical ability... which was probably why a thought came to me. A horrible thought. "Did Marty take this stuff?" I asked, though I feared the answer." SYLO pg 49
This dialogue between Tucker and Feit shows that Tucker doesn't feel proud of taking the salts. He feels ashamed for using an item to increase his physical and mental ability. He's also not sure why Feit knows so much about him, since for some reason he knows Olivia. Since the salts are basically drugs, Tucker fears the worst. He asks if Marty, the kid who died on the football field took the salts. This conversation creates more details to what exactly happened on the day Marty died, and who exactly Feit is.]]> 2022-02-16 17:06:38 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2051373684 christopherchung15 https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2051416280 This dialogue shows what Quinn truly wants, and that he is confident about achieving his goal. I now know that Quinn is very optimistic, and is always sure that he will succeed. ]]> 2022-02-16 17:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2051416280 christopherchung15 https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2060910798 2022-02-22 16:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2060910798 christopherchung15 https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2060956337 Connotation: Something holy
Denotation: Nostalgic to the character
The sentence is a positive mood, because the main character is having nostalgia from things like her grandma's gospels.]]> 2022-02-22 16:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2060956337 christopherchung15 https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2062669536
The figurative language shown here is a simile, because Raven is comparing Brooke to her dad. This is important to the story because Raven's dad left and Brooke is giving her nostalgia. ]]> 2022-02-23 14:17:48 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2062669536 christopherchung15 https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2071737508 I believe the author started the story with Terry's problem, so we can get context on what is going on in the story. The effect on the reader is that I understand how Terry feels about his dad.]]> 2022-03-01 15:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2071737508 christopherchung15 https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2071739855 I think this means that his dad started to get PTSD on the war, and it bothered Terry because he had no idea what his dad was thinking about. ]]> 2022-03-01 15:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2071739855 christopherchung15 https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2071745861 The theme throughout the story is that you should better understand someones problems and not be embarrassed by them. "He would try to understand, and the
trying would have to be enough. He would try hard from now on, and he would not be
embarrassed when his father’s eyes went away. He would not be embarrassed no matter what
his father did." ]]> 2022-03-01 15:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2071745861 christopherchung15 https://padlet.com/christopherchung15/8bc6clv0qj5attkm/wish/2100380376 In the book THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR, the main character's brother got made fun of for saying something in Korean.
