https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj Based on your reading of Travels with Charley: In Search of America, what message is the author trying to convey to the reader? Explain your reasoning. Support your response with evidence from the text. en-us 2017-11-15 17:21:02 UTC 2025-12-13 07:31:14 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208109870 The message the author is trying to tell us is that animals have feelings just as much as humans do. Page 147 says “ I wonder why we think the thoughts and emotions of animals are simple”. This proves that John thought animals have simple thoughts and emotions. This is the message the author is trying to tell us about animals. ]]> 2017-11-17 14:18:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208109870 md46769 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208110012 The message that the author is trying to convey is how animal instincts are very hard to understand, and he has experience with this, because remember how Charley went savage when he saw the bear, and he couldn’t know what he was thinking about. He even said, ‘“animal thought are so complex to human minds,’” and im not even sure if he even said those exact words, so...

I say this because in the text John was so certain that Charlie is a tolerant, calm and loving dog. However later in the text Charlie turns into a vicious bear killer and John is very stunned and surprised by the situation. This proves John thought he knew Charlie well and was a kind spirit but then he shows a different side of himself. That is why the authors message is even though you may think you know a person well they can be different then you think.]]> 2017-11-17 14:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208110476 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208110569 The message the author tries to convey is that sometimes we think the emotions of animals are simple. However, by the end of the story, John begins to notice that animals ahve complicated feeling like we do. John says “I wonder why we think the thought and emotions of animals are simple.” ]]> 2017-11-17 14:19:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208110569 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208110651 The message the author is trying to convey is that animals don’t have simple emotions as we think they do. In the text it sates “I wonder why we think the thoughts and emotions of animals are simple”. This proves that he had thought why we people think that animals have simple emotions. This is the message the author is trying to tell us. ]]> 2017-11-17 14:20:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208110651 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208110932 The message being conveyed is that animal thoughts and emotions aren’t simple and are actually quite complicated. Chunk 6 states “I wonder why we think the thoughts and emotions of animals are simple.” That is the point the author is trying to convey.]]> 2017-11-17 14:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208110932 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208110934 Based on my reading the message the author is trying to convey is even though you think you might know a person you can always learn something new about them.On page 145 John explains to the man his dog is a peaceful dog but at the end he realizes his is a maniac when he sees the bears.This confirms he didn’t know this about his dog.]]> 2017-11-17 14:20:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208110934 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208110958 The message the author conveys is that you don’t truly know someone until you unleash what they really are. In the text it claims that John originally thought Charley was a well behaved dog. Which meant that he had trust in Charley. But later in th text it states that when Charley encounters the bears he became a savage animal. This showed John that he didn’t really know Charley. This proves that the message that the author conveys is that you don’t truly know someone until you unleash what they really are.]]> 2017-11-17 14:20:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208110958 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111071 The message John Steinbeck is trying to convey is animals have complex emotions, just like humans.

For example, on the last page of the text, he says “ I wonder why we think the thoughts and emotions of animals are simple”. So therefore he is claiming that he didn’t think Charley could behave how he behaved with the bears until he saw him become aggressive.]]> 2017-11-17 14:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111201 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111330 One message the author is trying to convey is that not everything/everyone acts the way you think they will act, I know this because in the text John thought his dog Charley would always be peaceful and calm, even around bears, but when the time came, to John’s suprise Charley changed. ]]> 2017-11-17 14:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111330 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111342 The author is trying to send the message that animals do not have simple thought and feelings and are sometimes more complicate than us.]]> 2017-11-17 14:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111342 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111372 The message that the author is trying to convey to o the reader is not to be so sure about something ,because in the text John is sure charley is a respectful and clivilized dog but then when charley sees a bear he goes bananas.]]> 2017-11-17 14:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111372 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111373 The author was trying to convey the message that animal emotions and thoughts are complex and that we shouldn’t underestimate there complexity. The text states, in chunk 6, “I wonder why we think the thoughts and emotions of animals are simple.” This proves my claim because it shows how he is saying the message and it teaches that even is someone or an animal acts one way or has looked simple and that they looked like they were only one way inside. But people and animals can surprise you. In the inside there is something that will always surprise you. This goes with people and animals.]]> 2017-11-17 14:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111373 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111448 The message that the author is trying to convey, is that animal emotions and feelings are not as black and white as they may seem. In the text Charley, a dog who is so kind and compassionate to every other living thing viciously lashes out when he sees a bear. At the end of the story John even says “I wonder why we think the thoughts and emotions of animals are so simple.”]]> 2017-11-17 14:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111448 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111736 In Travels with Charley:In Search of America the author is trying to tell the reader that his dog is acting rather strange. I know this because on chunk 6, John wonders to himself why humans think that animal thoughts are simple. This supports the idea that Charley was acting weird and his thoughts were very complicated, and that’s why John wonders why humans think that animal thoughts and emotions are simple.]]> 2017-11-17 14:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111736 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111744 The message the author is trying to tell is that animals emotions and thoughts aren’t simple. The last sentence of the story says “I wonder why we think the thoughts and emotions of animals are simple.” This shows that John realizes that animals emotions and thoughts aren’t simple. ]]> 2017-11-17 14:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111744 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111933 The main message the author is trying to convey to the reader is that people can be whatever person they want to be. For instance Charley is not what John thought he would be like he said multiple times that he was in shock and worried about Charley. This was the authors main message in the story. He is trying to day that everybody has there own side in life.]]> 2017-11-17 14:22:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111933 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111959 The author is trying to say that you don’t always have to judge someone on the way they act because Charley was very calm but then he became scary when he saw the bear]]> 2017-11-17 14:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111959 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/okp6bt154kxj/wish/208111982 They are trying to convey that animals don’t have simple feelings, which I TOTALLY agree with!!!
