I'm wondering if Little Man ever talked without a stutter (page 220 and 223). I am also wondering why the mom didn't say words right and if it is something to do with Little Man's stutter (page 218). Finally, did Little Man find out who his dad was (page 90).]]> 2019-07-26 15:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372395826 2094452 https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396096 My text to text connection is to older baseball movies because a lot of the characters are newspaper carriers. My text to self is that I have dyslexia. I have trouble remembering sounds so sometimes I don't want to talk outloud. My text to world is that many people have word problems and they overcome them.  ]]> 2019-07-26 15:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396096 2094452 https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396337 The conclusion I am drawing about Mr. Spiro giving Vince the words is that he might have had a stutter and over came it (page 33). I also think Mam doesn't like Ara T. for a reason (page 41).]]> 2019-07-26 15:45:17 UTC https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396337 2094452 https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396473 The story takes place in Memphis, Tennessee.  It takes place a long time when there was segregation.  The main character is Vince, but he is called Little Man by his nanny, Mam. Little man has a bad stutter and he has to take over his friends paper route for a month. He is worried about collecting money because he has to talk. Then he meets a nice man named Mr. Spiro who helps him. Little man gives his knife to a homeless guy named Ara T. for sharpening. Ara T. doesn't give it back so Mam goes after him. Then there is a fight. Ara T. gets hurt and they never see him again (page 1 through 221).]]> 2019-07-26 15:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396473 2094452 https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396475 The passeges that create the best picture in my mind are all the passeges that have Vince going into the houses and collecting money. Like when he goes into Mrs. Worthington's house and he says he needs the money and she fell asleep. I could picture a old ladys room with old leather furniture and a lot of wood (page ). I also picture the bar fight where Little man was watching Ara T strangle Mam in a old, dirty bar (page 188, 189). ]]> 2019-07-26 15:47:03 UTC https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396475 2094452 https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396602 The main character changes throughout the book by being able to say his name without stuttering and other words, which most of them start with (page 1 through 221).  ]]> 2019-07-26 15:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396602 2094452 https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396647 The theme of the book is overcomeing problems like how Vince did (page 1 through 221). ]]> 2019-07-26 15:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396647 2094452 https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396668 The events in this that made up the plot are:

When people were talking he didn't put quotation marks. It was kind of confusing to figure out if someone is talking. He didn't use commas because commas are used for pauses and he already paused while he spoke. ]]> 2019-07-26 15:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396691 2094452 https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396723 My opinion of the book is it was pretty good. It was boring most of the book but at the end it got better. ]]> 2019-07-26 15:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/2094452/x0j6hi7v6ejl/wish/372396723
