I am Kamryn! In my free time I like to hang with friends and family, and I LOVE to play softball too. I play competitive softball for the Colorado Diamonds 14U team. I am also very passionate about my dog Daisy (picture above). Daisy has been in my life for over 4 years, she is the light that makes my day shine brighter. ]]> 2021-10-19 15:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/2124003/h11fxqgqinwjlcmb/wish/1827532037 Getting to know Dashka Slater and her book The 57 Bus 2124003 https://padlet.com/2124003/h11fxqgqinwjlcmb/wish/1845631498
  • Why I am interested in reading this book is because I am fascinated by crimes.

    • What makes me think this book is going to be interesting is that it has something to do about a girl that gets set on fire.

    • I think the book is going to be about a dispute between a girl and a boy about something and someone will get hurt.

    • This book reminds me of real-world conflicts in everyday life.

    • The type of conflict I think will be in this book is Person vs. Person or Belief vs. Belief.

    • What I think I will learn about the protagonist while reading this is how she had to deal with others' opinions.

    • What I think is going to happen in the story is the main protagonist will get in a dispute with the antagonist.
    • What lesson I think I might learn from reading this book is to avoid people that have strong beliefs on things that you do not support.

  • The protagonist in the 57 Bus is Richard.

    • Some character traits I believe my character possesses are funny, determined, foolish, and protective.

    • The kind of things my protagonist believes and cares about is his family and friends because he lies to the police that he was not pressured by his friends to light Sasha on fire.

    • What Richard would be like to hang out with in real life is he would always try to make the best out of the situation and make amazing jokes. 

    • Richard is mostly being developed through relationships and actions because he is learning the consequences of his friends and crime.

    How the setting in The 57 Bus helps the development of the theme is by describing the incident with Sasha and Richard on the bus. The setting is on the 57 bus when Richard lights Sasha's skirt on fire while they were sleeping. How this setting develops the theme is by showing how many people are assaulted just because of their gender. In conclusion, the theme of "The 57 Bus" is justice for any gender, race, and sexuality, because so many people each day are assaulted for being their true selves.]]>     2021-11-27 16:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/2124003/h11fxqgqinwjlcmb/wish/1915575478     The 57 Bus Plot Diagram 2124003 https://padlet.com/2124003/h11fxqgqinwjlcmb/wish/1925176625 2021-12-02 13:56:40 UTC https://padlet.com/2124003/h11fxqgqinwjlcmb/wish/1925176625
