She is at her school at her desk. It is probably in the fall or winter, because the main discussion that of the story is talking about someones sweater. "There’ll be candles and presents and everybody will sing Happy birthday, happy birthday to you, Rachel"(20).

"Because she’s older and the teacher, she’s right and I’m not. (5). This shows that wants to be older that she would be respected.]]> 2021-09-20 18:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sr41946/kdzva4jfnjgvxtjs/wish/1754932837 How does the setting affect readers of the text? sr41946 https://padlet.com/sr41946/kdzva4jfnjgvxtjs/wish/1754948857 Since the setting is in the classroom, she is surrounded by peers. Since she is in a place we have all been to, we can feel what she feels when she is embarrassed in front of her peers. "all of a sudden I’m crying in front of everybody. I wish I was invisible but I’m not"(18). I believe he have all felt this feeling sometime in our life, so this can help us relate to Rachel.]]> 2021-09-20 18:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sr41946/kdzva4jfnjgvxtjs/wish/1754948857 How does the particular sequence of events and the manner in which a text presents those events to a reader affect a reader's experience with the text? sr41946 https://padlet.com/sr41946/kdzva4jfnjgvxtjs/wish/1755548145 The way the story is structured helps us know how Rachel is feeling and then affects the whole mood of the story.

What details convey that? sr41946 https://padlet.com/sr41946/kdzva4jfnjgvxtjs/wish/1755555825 Rachel is the narrator of the text. We know this because we hear her inner thoughts throughout the entire story. I wish I was anything but eleven. Because I want today to be far away already, far away like a runaway balloon"(21). This quote is a excellent example of how we know who the narrator is.]]> 2021-09-20 22:54:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sr41946/kdzva4jfnjgvxtjs/wish/1755555825 How does the narrator's distance from the events of a narrative affect the details and information presented to the reader? sr41946 https://padlet.com/sr41946/kdzva4jfnjgvxtjs/wish/1755568266 Because the narrator is so close to the events in the story, we get to see what exactly Rachel is thinking during the events in the story. This also helps us to feel a closer connection with Rachel. An example of this is in paragraph 18, "I wish I was invisible but I’m not. I’m eleven and it’s my birthday today and I’m crying like I’m three in front of everybody".]]> 2021-09-20 23:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sr41946/kdzva4jfnjgvxtjs/wish/1755568266 sr41946 https://padlet.com/sr41946/kdzva4jfnjgvxtjs/wish/1758307119 2021-09-21 20:07:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sr41946/kdzva4jfnjgvxtjs/wish/1758307119
