    1. Katelyn, I really liked the line about snow tasting like cucumbers! That's great. One thing to consider might be removing some of the punctuation. For example, there is at least one line that ends in a comma where you might have a period instead. Alternatively, you could remove most of the punctuation, only keeping the punctuation you really need---like commas in a list. But, great poem and fun to read!

    1. I especially liked your last line, Madelyn––"winter can't reach me yet." I keep hoping that's the case, but you never know!

  7. Alena, I really like this---I especially like the line: "The night of wishes and dreams, overturning to morning of happiness and wonder." I think you have really captured the spirit of the season.

    1. This is my favorite line, Ada: "I feel alive when I can look into the sky, and see nothing, but everything at the same time."

The Hate U Give (Second Post--up to page 220)

Once again, I would like you to respond to two prompts (at least 150 words each) by Sunday at 8:00 p.m.   Here they are: 1. Once news of Khalil’s shooting spreads across the neighborhood, unrest arises: “Sirens wail outside. The news shows three patrol that have been set  ablaze at the police precinct...A gas station near the freeway gets looted...My neighborhood is a warzone” (Chapter 9, 136-139). Respond to this development and describe some parallels  to current events. 2. How do you think Starr would define family? What about Seven? How do you define it?

Look Me in the Eye: Second Post (to page 143)

Christopher, from  Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time , is a fictional character, while  Look Me in the Eye  is John Elder Robison's account of his life with Asperger's.  What similarities do you see between the fictional Christopher, and the real-life John Elder Robison?  What differences do you see?  Please provide examples from the texts to support your response.  Your response should be at least 300 words.
