"Panic Birds" BCR

The speaker in "Panic Bird' is uncomfortable with panic. The speaker descibes panic as an ugly bird that sneaks up on him as said in stanza 4 "it was coming from behind". The speaker say the bird [panic] goes inside him, roosts, and goes poop inside of him. Then the bird becomes angry so he starts to tear up the mans guts and leaves a mess behind "he left behind black bile and black blood'. The black bile means poison so basically its saying its leaving behind poison and blood.

"Winter Thunder" 1-11-12 The author included it becuase she wanted to show how important it was. Also she wanted you to know what Lecia was going to do to get them put of the situation. It was what they were going to do ' never get separated and never stop until you find shelter." ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍If her grandfather had not told her this they might have not done anything good. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I feel that Lecia spent alot of time with her gradfather and had a good relationship with him. I belive this because she remembered his storys and words.

"Winter Thuder" Response 1-25-12 ‍My charater is Lecia Terry I think her caracter trait is motherly. I think this because she bandage Maggies feet with her sleeves. This shows she is motherly because she is using part of her cloths to bandage Maggie's feet. Also Lecia said that she didn't need the sandwhich and for Bill to eat it. This means she is motherly because she wants to make sure the kids are not starving too much. Lecia thought what life would have been like for the kids if she had gotten married. This is motherly because she wants the kids to be safe at home rather then in the blizzard. These details shows that she is motherly. ‍

Dynharacter character response 1-30-12 The dynamic character is Manuel. The reason Manuel is the most dynamic character because he went from unsure to confidente. He changed because in the beginning he was unsuer whether or not he wanted to do thetalent show. Then after he finished his act peaple crowded around him and telling him he was great.

I am concerened of our city concil's granting permission for devlopment of fifty condos along Caynon drive. The truth is the plan might get peaple angry. Most residents of Canyon drive are peaple who moved there for the peace. The residents might feel as if they have been betrayed. They will have to llisten to the construction all day! The prospect worries me. It is odd that one decision could force peaple to change there lifestyles. I urge the city concil to relocate the condominiums for the citizens sake.

TONE : The speacker's/authors attitude about the city councils decision is direct, casual and respectful. ||
 * //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// ||

The Coastwatcher BCR The author makes Hugh and his mother seem plausible by how they speak and act towards each other. One way is when Hugh's mother told him to come in and Hugh said one minute but his mother had to tell him to come in again. This shows that Hugh's mother is acting motherly. Also she tells him "Oh no you don't she said Go wash off that sand". After, he said "Mama-" "Go!". This shows that Hugh tried to argue with his mother but his mother wins the argument like most mothers do.

The Coastwatcher revised BCR

The author makes the characters plausible by their words and action. One ways is when his mother tells him to come in Hugh ignores her it was not until she said "Hugh, right this minute" did he obey. This is how most children react to thier mother telling them to come inside and they say one morre minute. Also when he comes up to the housee his mother his mother teases hm by calling hugh "Mr. Coastwatcher" and asking him if he saw any "German submarines". This shows that they have a strong mother-son relationship.

Exercise C I would have wished for that I never had another bad day in my life. I would do this so I would never be in a plight situation. Also I would not have to be laden with burden and I would not always do somthing vainly. I would also be able to heed other things beside worrying about a bad day. Unlike Maibon I am not scared of becoming old and frail. I would rather be old then sombody gaping at me.
