Winter Thunder Response January 11,2012

The author included this because they were making a connection with Lecia to her grandfather going through the same type of things. It said "Never risk getting seperated" that means that no matter how sperated you get you can probally go back. She is keeping this in mind to incourage her to get through the storm and take the kids back to safety.

Character traits January 25,2012

‍I think Maggie is cooperative because she lets Lecia poke holes in her feet without complaining. She is thinking that she knows they have to barely get through with what they have or else they will die. That shows that she is cooperative. She is the one that cooperates with the storm through out the whole story. She knows that show is in bad shape and is very sick, but she never complains because she knows that the group needs to stay together to survive. ‍

Dynamic Character January31,2012

Manuel is the dynamic character. Manuel changes the most through the story. In the beginning, Manuel is unprepared because he says " yeah" in an unsure manner, when someone asked if he was ready for the talent show. Then, he spins the record on his finger to take his mind off the competion and the nervousness of the talent show. Next, Manuel the record player started skipping, so Manuel kept singing the same line of the song over and over. By repeating the same line it assisted with building his confidence when he could've just walked off stage. In conclusion, he went from unprepared to confident.

 * //Paragraph//

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__!


 * TONE**: The speaker’s/author’s attitude about the city council’s decision on development was //frustrated, angry, disgruntled, aggravated// ||
