It almost makes him sound like a grumpy troll living under a bridge.  I think that this makes him sound a little threatening in the book because it is almost as if they are afraid to let him sleep in the regular part of the house because no one knows what he will do.]]> 2022-04-21 16:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152343155 aswain34 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152346621 The time frame obviously contributes a great deal to the story of Cassie and her family in Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry because times were terribly difficult for all people during this era. Things were even more difficult for Cassie and her family because they were a Black, land-owning family. They had to work very hard to hold onto their land and make a life for themselves because it seems like the white people and the economy was working against them.]]> 2022-04-21 16:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152346621 aswain34 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152350061 The modern setting of Sharon Draper's The Battle of Jericho makes the story alive and relatable for the reader. Her use of modern language and slang makes the story seem very realistic. Taking place in a high school, this novel is occurring in the place where teens spend most of their day, so it makes the story easy to understand]]> 2022-04-21 16:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152350061 aswain34 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152517015 The hospital is an interesting opening setting for the novel Restart by Gordon Korman because of its shock value. It contributes to the intensity of the situation with its descriptions because clearly, the mom is very worried about Chase. This helps to establish the serious tone of the story as the reader begins to understand the accident that caused Chase to be in a coma.]]> 2022-04-21 18:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152517015 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152518834 The time frame is a sample of a very serious topic that happened decades ago. The Logan family unfortanately has to go through it. But, they at least know how to take up for each other. They would all do anything to protect the other family members, even if it means they have to give their own life. They will prevail eventually and make it through the Great Depression.]]> 2022-04-21 18:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152518834 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152518962 Even though we do not have a track at Ariton it really does not effect my understanding about what is going on in the book at this point. This makes the book even more interesting because I get to learn what it is like running track and being around people that run track. It makes the book more interesting about how what Cas had to do to make the track team.]]> 2022-04-21 18:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152518962 aswain34 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152520608 Even though we do not have track and field at Ariton, I like that Ghost by Jason Reynolds is set in this arena because I am interested in non-traditional sports.  Every time that the Olympics are broadcast, I enjoy watching the track and field events. To me, it makes the story more interesting because I am learning more about something that I don't see every day.]]> 2022-04-21 18:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152520608 hcabrera6537 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152521245 The fact that the setting in the book takes place in a school is a start but its not that interesting, but its a nice book to me because how they are like teens but not seniors but there are a group of seniors called the Warriors. The modern is nice there is a lot of funny part about this book, but its okay.]]> 2022-04-21 18:35:30 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152521245 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152521570 Personally it doesn't affect me understanding what's going on. When I went to D.A we had track meets and that helps me understand a little more about it.  The book is still interesting to me , because we learn the different view points and personality's of the characters and what they think of it.

Not only is this story set in modern times but the characters are also close in age to me making the story a lot more relatable. The story is placed in school so it is a lot easier to understand and relate to. Overall the setting really affects me by making it easier to comprehend and understand what is going on by using more relatable situations!!]]> 2022-04-21 18:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152521940 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152523261 The time frame contributes to the story because the Great Depression made it hard to find jobs, food, clothes, and even shelter. A lot of people lost their money, jobs, and much more. The segregation part of this time line contributes because most white people did not want black people apart of their lives. The Americans worked against the African Americans in many ways. Those ways included slavery, mistreatment, and many hateful comments about how African Americans were not not in this world. Very few people tolerated black people.]]> 2022-04-21 18:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152523261 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152524119 Not having a track at our school does not affect my understanding of what is going on in the book. It makes the book more interesting because I would like to know how it feels running on a track.]]> 2022-04-21 18:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152524119 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152524669 At the beginning of Freak The Mighty the setting is taking place at his room which is the basement.I think that this setting shapes him because He is kinda a angry person. I think he is a angry person because he just keeps talking about how bad the basement is .]]> 2022-04-21 18:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152524669 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152525286 It doesn't effect me that much i just feel like if we had a track and field i would maybe understand the story a little bit more. Overall so far i think that the story is interesting  because a lot of stuff has already happened.]]> 2022-04-21 18:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152525286 huffstutler5098 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152525549 In the start of the book it was pretty unusual. It gave a tough vibe for me to think of might happen. The fact that this is a school thing shocked me. The way they were in the rain in the mud sounds pretty intense for a school club. The part of the meeting made me think about them being nice and friendly was weirdly odd because this club is about life and death. This time in the book makes me think if a fight is gonna happen in the future of the book.]]> 2022-04-21 18:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152525549 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152526039 The modern setting don't affect me affect that much because its taking place in a high school and most of the time this is where teens spend the there week. I think this book is easy to read and you can understand it more.]]> 2022-04-21 18:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152526039 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152526223 the time frame of the story contributes a lot to the story of the book. roll of thunder takes place in the great depression when segregation was still big. this provides a challenge for Cassie's family because they are black and own land. they struggle to own what's theirs and this was a large problem for black land owners at the time the story takes place in. at this time, black people were ridiculed just for the color of their skin, but even the white people faced hardships during the great depression. so in a way, it was a lose lose scenario. ]]> 2022-04-21 18:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152526223 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152526451  the time frame has a lot to do with the story most of Cassies friends and family dont have much money and nobody likes them so lots of people were  racist back then and im sure it was tuff for them during the great depression.it was hard for them to get a job because they did not want them to work at certain places. many people did not like african american back then.  ]]> 2022-04-21 18:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152526451 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152526950 In the story Freak the Mighty it infers that Maxwell lives in his grandparents (Grim and Gram's) basement. When hearing these lines in the book it makes him seem like a closed up caveman. But, also at the same time if you didn't hear the part about him living in the basement of his grandparents house you might think that he's being kidnapped or something. For the character Freak his first physical encounter was at school when he slapped someone with a crutch. Setting this part of the story you would think that Freak is a really mean person. In Conclusion, I would say that at the preamble of the book you would think that both these characters pretty much are weird in many ways and unlike other characters in any other book.]]> 2022-04-21 18:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152526950 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152528019 At the beginning he was at the store then later in the story it talks about the track team. He went to their practices and started to talk about what the coach looked like. He talked about how fast the people were and who the slowest was. The setting changes often but not too often. ]]> 2022-04-21 18:40:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152528019 rbergo4346 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152528024 The setting in Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick is a small neighborhood that the main character lives in. The main character lives in the basement of a house to get away from his grandparents. The main character is sounding like a person that lived under a rock for fifty years ]]> 2022-04-21 18:40:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152528024 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152528519 At the playground Freak would go around making noises like ...rrrr...rrrr, and the book also says that when Freak does that it is like don't mess with me. I think this tells a lot about Freak because Freak is small but he is smart and he is also mighty. The setting at the playground helps you know the personality of Freak.]]> 2022-04-21 18:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152528519 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152529364 At the beginning of the book it talks about how max lives at his Grandparents house in a basement.And I feel like Max is most likely the mean one out of them and very nonactive.Then also he lives in a basement and most people that I know do not live in a basement they sleep and live out side the basement in a bed room.This makes it seem like they don't want him to sleep in a regular bed.]]> 2022-04-21 18:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152529364 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152532937 It would be bad because the great Depression nobody had money or homes ,It would also be worse because they were African-American's so they would be separated from the White. ]]> 2022-04-21 18:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152532937 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152532954 i feel modern because it takes place in the school It gives good thought because the character is the best already because the set of the modern time when josh and jericho and kofi it get ask to the toys drive but the story is more believable but the they close to 16 or 17 years older then us but this books is goods.]]> 2022-04-21 18:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152532954 https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152533627 In the beginning of the book Freak the Mighty Max talks about how he didn't know how to act before Freak came along. Max invented these games that were called kick boxing, kick knees, and kick teachers, and kick the other daycare critters. Max was a really bad little kid and didn't have any control over his behavior. He lived in the basement of his grandparents house and he said it was his own private down under. He glued paneling to the concrete cellar walls. He loved it down there because he said that Gram didn't go in there and say " Maxwell dear what are you doing" I think he lives down there so that they don't think that he will do anything bad because it says in the story " Gram thinks i may make a fire or start a bomb so i'm on observation in the basement." ]]> 2022-04-21 18:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/aswain34/rms8wvqila2z6p85/wish/2152533627
