I picked‍‍ Olive and her charecter trait is arrogant ‍‍. Olive is arrogant b/c she kept saying "My father will come for me" ,also she said "He would not care to leave me in such an unpleasant place." She also teases Maggie about her father being an alcoholic, and teasing somebody is arrogant. She thinks that her father is coming for her and she also thinks she's better then Maggie, only arrogant people think that they are better then somebody else. Also Olive depends on other people and she‍ cant't ‍do anthing for herself.This proves Olive is arrogant.

Since I couldn't add a comment, here it is. I think where you put "Olive is arrogant b/c kept saying..." you should have put "Olive is arrogant b/c she kept saying..." You should fix that Megan. -Caitlin

There Caitlin i fixed it... Are you happy now? :-)

The dynamic charecter in "La Bamba" is Manuel. He's dynamic b/c he changed from nervous to confident. First, he was nervous b/c he had to perform in front of so many people. Also, people were staring at him. I know that most people hate when a lot of people stare at them, I know I do. But, then he did a fancy dance move and the crowd went wild. When it was over Manuel was in the limelight., and that's exactly what he wanted. So Manuel is the dynamic charecter in "La Bamba."

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// ||

Dear City Council members, I would deeply recomend on reconsidering, our city council allowing fifty condominiums on Canyon Drive. The flat out truth is I'm not to fond on the plan. Most residents on Canyon Drive are people like me who moved here years ago. We have been attracted to this location b/c of the peace & quiet. Now for no good of a reason, you all want to put __*fifty*__ condos on our street? We don't love all the racket going on outside all day long & seeing our neighborhood being transformed. I do not like the prospect. Why would the city council allow this? This isn't helping with the lifestyles we all worked so hard to acheive. I humbly urge all (or most) of the council members sign a pettion, so our street will remain the ways it is. Sincerly Megan M.

An original poem by... Megan McMullen

I'll Always love you At the sun's arise, Is nothing compared to your eyes. I always want you there, If your nnot with me, it's something I can't bear. If you're not with me I wanna cry, So you'll always be with me, or at least try. You'll always love me. And something you can't see, Is that I'll always love you.

The Coastwatcher Revised BCR Hugh and his mother are like real people b/c Hugh went to play outside & later his mother yelled to him. She yelled "Hugh! Time to come in!" Hugh replied, "Not yet mama!" She had told Hugh, to come inside, but like a normal child he had to disobey his mother. As usual mother won. She told Hugh"Go wash off that sand." As usual, this time he actually obeyed his mother. I can infer that she wanted to come in & wash off the sand b/c she cares about his well being. I know moms usually make you wash off b/c they don't want you to be dirty. She also called Hugh "Mr. Coastwatcher" & asked him if he saw any German submarines, but she was joking aroung with him. Also my mom tease me and jokes around with me all the time. Moms do tease us b/c they love & care about us.

If I were Maibon (the farmer in "The Stone") I would have asked to be **laden** with fruit growing on my trees and my crops to grow. If he said no than i would ** retort ** with a clever answer. Or I would have asked to have a coats for my family that are not ** threadbare **. If he rejected all of those wishes than I would probably stare and **gape** at him. Then I would probably wish to **heed** at everything important that i see. If I **vainly** got my wishes than I would just walk away.

4-11-12 The author creates humor in "Doc Rabbit, Bruh Fox & Tar Baby." She does that because Doc Rabbit says "I still have my head!" He gets completely stuck in Tar Baby. I can infer Doc Rabbit is clever because he scares Bruh Fox in order to get cream at the brook. That's how the author creates humor in the story.
