" The Boy Who Lived With The Bears "

First,his uncle treated the boy really badly. He fed him scraps and dressed him in ragged cloths. His uncle trapped him in a cave. Next, the animals came and saved him. He chose to live with the bears. Finally, the uncle found the boy. He told him he wouldn't hunt bears no any more. The boy stood up to his uncle. The uncle,the boy and the bears all became one big happy family. I think you should treat your kids with respect and treat your elders with respect.

"Panic Bird" In the poem"Panic Bird" the poet feels scared of panic. In the poem he trys to defend himself from it so that means he dont like it. Panic is ripping him apart and that is not good. If panic wqs tearing you apart so it would hurt so that means that he is in pain. if something was inside of him and he culdnt do anything about it, he is probally frustrated.

Winter Thunder Response January 11, 2012

The author included that paragragh to warn us about a snow storm. First he put that in there to explain what to do if you get lost with other people. He said "Never get separatedand never stop until you find shelter." That is giving us future reference on what to do during a snow storm__.__

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍Chuck is resourceful. He can use the ‍stuff ‍around him to survive. First he says "I could alone, I could make it out alone." ‍‍‍‍‍‍That shows ‍‍‍‍‍‍that he can survive on his own with just the resources around him. Next he thinks about leaving and going to find help. That shows that he can go find help and still make it out alive. He makes a fire out of willows and finds a calf for food. That shows that he is very resourceful. If I was stranded in a blizzard I would want to be with him. ‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍

I __deeply resent__ our city council’s granting permission for the development of fifty condominiums along Canyon Drive. The plain truth is, __the plan stinks__! Most residents of Canyon Drive are people like me who moved here years ago. We were attracted by the peace of the location. Now, for __no good reason__, we __have been betrayed__ by our elected officials. We face the __nightmare__ of listening to the __racket of construction work around the clock__ and of seeing our lovely neighborhood turned into heaven knows what. The prospect __makes me sick__. It is __maddening__ that the city council, in one __careless decision__, can __destroy__ the lifestyles that we have worked so hard to achieve. I urge all members of this community to sign a petition forcing the city council to reverse their decision. Failing that, we should __vote the bums out of office__! Dear Council Man, I'm not extadict of the idea of fifty condominioums on our block. With all do respect I think the council could have thought of a better idea. The people on Canyon Drive thought this would be good place to go without all the hustle and bustle of the city. I am not fond of what this city may turn out to be. All the residents moved here for a reason and now the constrution may very well destroy that. With all do respect I think it would be benificial to bring in a new council member who understands the point of view of the people on Canyon Drive.!

The Coastwatcher BCR 2/27/12 Tyler H.

The author makes it seem real because when Hugh's mother tells hem to come in he says no. Usually when a mother tells there kid to do smething the kid usually disobeys. When he came from the beach his mother asked him how it was at the beach. When I get home my mother usually asked me how my day has been and when I get in trouble I dont tell her. Hugh's mother asked him how it was and he didnt tell her what he saw. The conversations that Hugh and his mother have are like the ones that me and my mother have.

The Coastwatcher BCR Revisied 2/28/12 Tyler H.

The author makes it seem real because they make the conversations typical like mother and son conversations should be like. Hughs mother tells him to come in and he disobeys just like anyother child would do.He says "Not yet," when she tells him to come in. She says "Right this minute!"and Hugh realizes that he has to give in and obey his mother. When Hugh comes up to the house he has sand on him and his mother makes him wash it off before he go's in the house. Any typical mother would not let there son go in there house with sand on them.

Tyler H. Exercise C

If I were Maibon I would wish for a dog that talked and did what I say. My dogs name would be Charles. He would be a very heed dog and look after me. But when he would get old he would be very frail and weak. He would probally get old quick because my sisters would laden him down with work. Another thing I would wish for is the new Omen big barrell. If I got that everyone would gape and stare at it. I would wish for a milion more wishes. When I get old and threadbare I can wish for me to have some big guns. If I had a plight like a car accident I could use one of my wishes to go back in time and change it. I would wish for a time machine. When I go back in time and try to change it I would vainly fail and mess up my life.

"Doc Rabbit, Bruh Fox, and Tar Baby"

April, 12 2012

Choose one of the tricksters in "Doc Rabbit, Bruh Fox, and Tar Baby" and describe hoe the author uses humor to express that character. In you response use specific details and examples that show how the author creates humor.

He uses the character Doc Rabbit to show humor. "I still got my Head." This is funny because when he trys to kick the Tar Baby or hit him with his head he gets stuck. "Do it, burn me up, for its my pleasure to have my coat on fire." This is also funny because the rabbit is using reverse schycoligy to trick the Bruh Fox into not throwing him in the fire. The rabbit is clever and quick because no matter what the fox did the rabbit was always one step ahead.
