Minor Characters

My favorite character of all the minors ones is definitely the Vegetable Man. I like him the most because he is not in much of the novel and yet he says some very useful things. He helped Finch on a few different occasions throughout the novel. For example, he told Finch to use a turnip for Marcus to teeth on. I also liked him the most because he reminds me of my grandfather who also really enjoys growing vegetables and sharing with the entire family.

My Thoughts on the Literacy Narrative

  • I thought I did a pretty good job of telling my story.
  • I liked the part where I separated certain tings to make them important.
  • I still could have added more details.
  • I sat in my room and tried to remember exactly what happened.
  • I sat down and conveyed my memories into words.
  • No.
  • I took their thoughts to heart and made changed accordingly.
  • I think I would probably try to add more detail. Otherwise I thought it went well.

My Dash

My Dash...

It definitely wouldnt be complete without all of the people in my life, first and foremost. My family plays a huge role in my life. There is also my girlfriend who has been there for me through so much. I also cannot forget about my friends whom I've had a lot of unforgettable moments. Two people I respect more than anyone else are my grandparents. They have done so much for everyone in my family it is unimaginable.

My Dash also must include all of my interests. I really enjoy working on cars. It is something I really enjoy because it's rewarding to know that I made something work. I also enjoy hunting and fishing and being outdoors because it is a great way to be alone and clear the mind.

On A Gracious Plenty

First of all, hello to all of my many fans out there in the world of Blogger.

This entry will pertain to how I feel about reading A Gracious Plenty by Sheri Reynolds.

When I first found out I had to read a book about a girl who talks to dead people I was far from thrilled. Actually, it was about the last thing I ever wanted to do for a college class. However, once the book was summarized in class, I began to become more and more interested in reading it. I am interested in finding out how the author keeps the readers entertained with such a subject. My only concern with this book is that it may be focused on the female audience, which obviously doesn't include yours truly.
