Winter Thunder Nicoel Wapels Group A I think ‍‍‍‍‍Chuck ‍‍‍‍‍ is collaborative in the story because he stays to help Mrs. Lecia and the students. He helps the children find shelter and survive by collecting all the lunches off the bus. Then, when Chuck gets‍‍‍‍ mad he ‍‍‍‍ sad that " I could alone, I could make it out alone" Mrs.Lecia said "never risk getting seperated." I picked this collaborative because it means cooperative. Even though Chuck thinks he can make it out alone always mean your going to have 1 benifit of dying or staying alive. During the story a few times Chuck says he going to leave, but everytime he he brings back something good. First, Chuck resents them and then, comes back and help them carry through the storm. He is also resoureceful because uses the the things he has around him to create something good and useable. - Sandoz, Maria

Dynamic Character 1/31/12 The dynamic character in La Bamba is Maunel. I choose Manuel baecause he's the one that changed from fearful to confident. In the story it says that he was thinking of the time when he was in 1st grade and it was Science Week and he had made a bulb light by putting a wire on the battery and then he showed it to everyone and then it ran out. So Maunel was scared that it was going to happen to him again. Then when the talent show is about to start he was scared that he was going to mess up and the record got stuck and he felt embarresed so he played along woth the music and when they were doing the role off everyone standed for Manuel and got big round of applause, Dynamic Charcter is when a charcter change from the begging of the story to the end.

=REWRITING TONE=

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__!
 * =Mr. Cook's Example= || =Student Example= ||
 * //Paragraph//
 * TONE**: The speaker’s/author’s attitude about the city council’s decision on development was //frustrated, angry, disgruntled, aggravated//

March 16, 2012 If I was Maibon I would ask for a **__laden__** pound of seeds so my stock wouldn't be so __**plight**__. I would ask for a maid because I would be old and **__frail__** and I wouldn't be able to doing anything without hurting myself. I would ask for these things because i don't want to be **__vanily__** with my job of being a farmer. Farmers need to pay more **__heed__** with the weather so they wouldn't have to **__gape__** about their crops being destroyed. ||

The casuist in "Doc Rabbit, Bruh Fox, and Tar Baby" is Doc Rabbit. Doc Rabbit says "Well I still got my head, I'm mad now! I'm agone use my head, too."
