https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1 Based on your reading of the text "My Story" from Animals in Translation by Temple Grandin and Catherine Johnson, what message is the author trying to convey to the reader? Explain your reasoning. Support your response with evidence from the text. en-us 2017-12-09 19:25:26 UTC 2017-12-13 14:38:39 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215793616 The message that the author was trying to convey the reader is that animals can be very useful to humans and we should be together. In the text it states “People and animals are suppose to be together”. The text also says “we spent a long time evolving together, and we used to be partners. This is the message Temple Grandin is trying to convey. ]]> 2017-12-13 14:16:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215793616 md46769 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795023 The message that the author is trying to convey is that animals can be faithful and loyal to us, and we can change because of them. The evidence to provide this is on page 159, because it says, “Teasing hurts. The kids would tease me, so I’d get mad and smack em. That simple. They always started it, they liked to see me react. My new school fixed that problem. The school had a stable for the kids to ride, and the teachers took my horseback privileges away if I smacked somebody. After I lost privileges too many times, I learned just to cry when somebody did something bad to me. I’d cry, and that would take away the aggression . I still cry when people are mean to me.” This shows that she changed because of animals because she used to smack people if they were mean to her, but now, she didn’t want to lose privileges, so she learned to just cry instead of slap people in the face. Only because she wants to ride a horse.]]> 2017-12-13 14:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795023 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795026 The message the author is trying to convey is that animals can change us and we can change them. In the text it states that Temple fell in love with animals in high school. This shows how animals had changed Temples behavior. Also in the text it claims that Temple was able to better understand animals emotions and thoughts. This shows how animals were able to change Temples mindset. This proves how animals can change us and we can change them.]]> 2017-12-13 14:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795026 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795084 One message is that the author is trying to convey is that animals can help people go through life in many ways. I know that this is the mesage the author is trying show because in the text Temple Grandin explained how the animals helped her in high school. This is one example of when animals were about to help people]]> 2017-12-13 14:19:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795084 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795142 I think the message that the author is trying to convey to us is that animals can help us, no matter who we are. I think that this is the message because Temple has autism and she was clearly changed by animals a lot. On page 160 of the text Temple writes “Animals kept me going. I spent every waking minute that I didn’t have to be studying or going to school with those horses. This shows that animals changed Temple and she took them to her advantage even though she was in a different school, she liked the school because of the horses. As you can see I think that the message that the author is trying to convey is that animals can change you no matter who you are.]]> 2017-12-13 14:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795142 sg502100 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795188 The message the author is trying to convey is that animals can play a big role in your life. For example, in the text it says “ We spent quite a long time evolving together, and we used to be partners.” This confirms that she still remembered many times she had been in contact with animals, which played a big part in her life.]]> 2017-12-13 14:19:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795188 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795371 The message the author is trying to convey to the reader is “Embrace your differences.” In the text, Temple Grandin had autism, yet she embraced it. She could understand animal emotions better than we can, and now she is very successful.]]> 2017-12-13 14:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795371 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795401 The message the author is trying to put out is that animals can alter a person (Temple in this case) s mind. This is shown on paragraphs 5 and 6, when Temple writes “Teasing hurts. The kids would tease me, so I’d get mad and smack em.”... “My new school solved that problem. The school had a stable with horses for the kids to ride and the teachers would take away horseback riding ]]> 2017-12-13 14:20:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795401 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795437 The message the authors were trying to convey to the reader is that animals help humans and humans help animals. For example, In the text it says “animals kept me going.” This proves that animals were a huge impact on how much Temple enjoyed school. Before she went to that school, social life was hard. Kids teased her and when she punched them she got expelled. But, the horses didn’t just help Temple, Temple also helped the horses. Another example, in the text it states, “I spent every waking moment I didn’t have to be studying or going to school with those horses.” This confirms that Temple helped the horses by taking care of them. She and the horses had a special connection. In conclusion, the authors were trying to convey the message that animals help humans and humans help animals.]]> 2017-12-13 14:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795437 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795472 the message the author is trying to say is that animals and humans have spent a long time together . in the text it states “we spent quite a long time evolving together, and we used to be partners “ this shows that temple and the horses spent a long time together, and temple understood them. when temple grew older, she understood the way animals thought. this is the message the author is trying to say. ]]> 2017-12-13 14:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795472 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795527 The message the author is trying to convey is that all animals can make a positive change in your life. Temple Grandin says “Animals kept me going. I spent every waking minute that I didn’t have to be studying or going to school with those horses.” This confirms that animals can make a change in people’s lives because animals helped Temple Grandin get through hard times. ]]> 2017-12-13 14:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795527 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795651 I think the message that Temple is trying to convey is that pets can change you. For example, Temple changed her personality after she was with the horses at her new school. In paragraph 3, the text states “I started to fall in love with animals in high school when my mother sent me to a special boarding school for gifted children with emotional problems.” This proves that her new school led a change of her personality. She hit kids in they teased her and now she was calm and relaxed. ]]> 2017-12-13 14:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795651 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795744 The message the author is trying to tell you is that animals and humans should be together. In the text it says, “I wish more kids can ride horses. People and animals are supposed to be together”. This shows that the author is telling you that animals and humans should be together.]]> 2017-12-13 14:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795744 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795745 I think that the message that the author was trying to convey is that animals help us grow and change for the better and everyone should be living side by side with them. The text states in paragraph 6,” After I lost my privileges enough times I learned just to cry when somebody did something bad to me. I’d cry, and that would take the aggression away.” This shows how animals change us for the better because it shows how they can solve our problems. As we connect to them when we are sepperated we might feel sad so she learned that if she just cried she could be with animals more.]]> 2017-12-13 14:20:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795745 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795973 The author is trying to tell us that animals are comforting. The text states “autism made school and social life hard, but it made animal life easy”. This shows that animals are comforting because she got to connect with them even though she had autism]]> 2017-12-13 14:21:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215795973 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215796062 The message the author is trying to convey in the text “My Story” is that animals can change peoples lives. In paragraph 14 the text states “Animals kept me going. I spent every waking minute that I didn’t have to be studying or going to school with those horses.” This proves that animals can change people’s lives because they helped Temple get through school.]]> 2017-12-13 14:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215796062 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215796143 I think that the message that the author is trying to convey is that animals can help people, just like they helped Temple. For instance, the horses really helped temple out. She spent alot  of her time at the barn riding the horses, cleaning the barn and more. She was not in any more fights and did not hit anyone. Animals kept her going. She was also motivated to not hit people because if she hit someone, then her barn privileges would be taken away. She was determined not to get into any trouble. Therefore, the message that the author is trying to convey is that animals can help people out. Animals helped temple, can they help you]]> 2017-12-13 14:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215796143 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215796167 Based on my reading in the text, “My Story” from Animals in Translation, I believe the author is trying to say that animals can effect humans in many great ways and they are not just for having around for companionship. On paragraph 5 and 6, the text says, “The kids would tease me, so I’d get mad and smack ‘em. That simple. They always started it, they liked to see me react. My new school solved that problem.

I think this because in the text it states “People and animals are supposed to be together” (paragraph 15). This is what I think the message that the author tries to convey.]]> 2017-12-13 14:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215796548 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/wj6eqvl693q1/wish/215796622 The lesson the author is trying to teach the reader is that autism has pros and cons.

I think this because even though Temples social and conversation skills aren’t that good the one thing she is good at is understanding animals feelings and mind. Also being able to do that without autism is amazing but with autism it is like the most extraordinary thing ever.
