I value my family a lot and this short story has a lot to do with family. It influenced me by showing that sometimes people make mistakes but your family will always forgive you even if you have to make a gesture. Also, sometimes a conflict can affect the entire family.]]> 2020-11-04 15:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890225008 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890225959 The non-fiction piece "Bonne Annee" had the most influence on me as reader.

The story was written in the perspective of Maya, this technique helped me connect with her thoughts and that helped me understand more about her situations. Also, both her brother and her had a special bond and were always there for each other.  The story helped me understand more about the culture in the story and the importance of family to her. ]]> 2020-11-04 15:04:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890226329 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890228147 The non-fiction essay " Bonne Anne" had the most influence on me as a reader because it had something related to sports which I can relate to because I do sometimes watch sports.

It influenced me because it shows the struggle of a family with a mom who has cancer. It helped me understand not to take things for granted.]]> 2020-11-04 15:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890229241 emw060 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890229332 The non-fiction piece "The Lost and Found Cat' had the most influence on me as a reader.  I have two cats, and cats are one of my favorite animals, so I really connected to the family's love for their cat. It made me love my cats even more because I couldn't imagine losing them like that family did. Also, it was non-fiction, so I allowed myself to be influenced by it because I knew that the information being presented was reliable. In fiction, the author can make up anything they want, so it may not be reliable, therefore I don't allow myself to be influenced by it as much.]]> 2020-11-04 15:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890229332 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890229965 The excerpt Refugee influenced me the most as a reader.

It shows how the entire family truly relied on one another every day. They were all committed to supporting each other. For example in the story, when the family is looking at houses, they are told that they will be able to live somewhere like that if they keep working hard and become successful. I was really able to see how important family is.]]> 2020-11-04 15:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890231370 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890231861 The fiction story "My Favorite Chaperone" influenced me the most. The bond between the siblings really made me think about how in modern families, you don't really have the "perfect" siblings anymore. But in the story the kids were close, more close than me and my brothers. The bond between Maya and her brother is just great. Her brother was able to give up his time for his sister, and Maya tricked their father for less punishment on her brother. My brothers would NOT do the same.]]> 2020-11-04 15:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890231861 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890234080 "The Lost and Found Cat" had the most influence on me as a reader.  I love animals,  so I could relate to the family's love for their pet. It was non-fiction, but it felt like fiction because it made me feel lots of empathy for the family.

This had the most influence on me because Amy still had hope after all this time to return Kunkush to his family. Also, the story was non fiction but it had this sort of feeling that is was fiction. It teaches me that family is important and it is a very key part of life.]]> 2020-11-04 15:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890234110 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890234304 The nonfiction memoir, "The Latehomecomer" had made the most influence on me as a reader. I learned that even in nonfiction, you can still emphasize with the characters in the story, and the memoir really showed me that. It influenced me by really empathizing with the character when they felt sick. It's as if I was there, and felt how hurt they were. ]]> 2020-11-04 15:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890234304 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890237907 The nonfiction book " The Lost and Found Cat" had the most influence on me as a reader because it shows that even though the family's lost family member was a cat, they still treated the cat as if the cat was an actual family member. Not only did they do risky things to keep their cat with them but searched long and hard to find him. This made me realize how important family really is.]]> 2020-11-04 15:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890237907 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890237951 The story "The Lost and Found Cat" had the most influence on me as a reader. It showed me that family is important and it should always be valued. Like in the story the cat was scared from the ride on the raft and ran away and then was later found and taken in. Then one the cat was returned to its family and the family was so happy because to them there cat was part of there family. ]]> 2020-11-04 15:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890237951 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890245255 I think the nonfiction book Bonne Annee had the most influence on me because it is talking about how he was connected with his country through soccer and I play a lot of sports so that relates to me. ]]> 2020-11-04 15:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890245255 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890246099 "The Whistle" has influenced me as a reader because of showing how important our bonds between our family are. ]]> 2020-11-04 15:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890246099 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890248037 The fiction short film, "Hair Love" had the most influence on me. This is because I have thick curly hair like the girl in the story and I could relate to it. Also growing up it was really hard to maintain my hair. So when my dad had to do it, it could be challenging for him since he doesn't have hair like me. Also when I had to learn to do my hair on my own it was hard and I got frustrated. I think the short film shows lots of people about that culture and it shows people to be proud of their natural hair. Lastly, at the end of the story I thought it was really nice when the family reunited together. ]]> 2020-11-04 15:08:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890248037 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890248270 The fiction story "My Favorite Chaperone" had the most influence on me. I noticed that they both looked out for each other and they really cared when another one got in a bit of trouble. I also saw that they each deeply cared about each other even if they were mad or upset about what they did.]]> 2020-11-04 15:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890248270 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890250094 "The Latecomer" had the most influence on me as a reader. This influenced me through the emotional context it was told in, because this piece is nonfiction, which conventionally isn't told through emotional context, so this caught my interest and motivated me to keep reading. An example from the text that is told through emotional context is "I remember thinking that the pain was teasing me but realizing soon that it wasn’t a joke...My mom and dad rushed to my side, and I remember 
seeing myself twisting and turning, all out of color and out 
of breath, but still moving with nervous life." In this passage, the text causes us to feel empathy for the subject of the memoir, which is why it caught my interest.]]> 2020-11-04 15:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890250094 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890250111 The fictional text, "The Whistle" connected to me the most. In the story, they show a really strong bond between each other. Each person has their own role, and if someone doesn't do their role, it is all messed up. This reminds me of my family, and if one person breaks a bond with the other, the whole family falls apart. ]]> 2020-11-04 15:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890250111 kprofili https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890250392 2020-11-04 15:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890250392 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890258757 I think the fictional picture book/movie short "Hair Love" emotionally connects to me more than the other fiction options.]]> 2020-11-04 15:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890258757 https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890273973 The fiction short story, The Whistle, had the most influence on me because it was about family. I really valued this one because it talks about family and i value my family a lot. It made me think about how important family is because they are always there for you not matter what happens or what mistakes you make. ]]> 2020-11-04 15:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kprofili/ul11z5zdpogfdkt9/wish/890273973
