9.27.10 to 10.1.10 week 6

 It is important for readers to understand what is happening in their books : Who the characters are,what theme is, where and when the story is taking place. In your response, outline the following: plot , setting , antagonist (the bad guy),protagonist (the good guy) and the universal theme. Provide evidence from your book to support your thinking.


    I'm almost finished with my book'' THE STONE GODDESS'', By:Minfong Ho.

The plot is that Nakri, Yann , Boran and their mom are starting a new life  in the U.S.

The setting in  there new apartment in the U.S, I don't know when or what time it is.
There isn't a person protagonist wet but the antagonist is the school(p.169).

The protagonist is Yann who is very loquacious,he is so loquacious that he doesn't let his family talk  at  all.

The Universal Theme is that life isn't easy especially to Nakri which lost her sister and dad. It has been really hard for her to forget  them.(p.170)

9.22.10 - 9.24.10 Week 5

 In your book, what are some of the ways that your character expresses themselves through their emotions? How do they show love? Anger? Hate? Why is this important to you as a reader?


  In my book,''THE STONE GODDESS'', By: Minfong Ho'', my character Nakri is expressing her self in mores of sadness(p.136). She shows me that she is sad because she cries in the book and the author tells me how she moves her body and face to make different emotions(p.139).This is important to me as a reader so I know and understand my character well enough to connect with her.

9.13.10 - 9.17.10: Week 4

  

 It is important to use our observations/knowledge of the world around us to understand and make meaning out of what we read. Thinking about your experience with the writing excursion, how much importance does your author place on how two characters in your book dress/look? How do you know this?

        In my book,'' THE STONE  GODDESS'', the author talks mainly about Nakri and Teeda. The author talks about Nakri who is very skinny, for the hard time their passing through, she is very brave and strong. When the author talks about Teeda she talks about her more,she say show she is feeling and how she looks,more than Nakri.

       I now this because the author talks about  Teeda more than Nakri  and  even though the book is more about Nakri, when the author  talks about Teeda she talks about her with more feeling,and expression.

        I'm  reading  ''THE  STONE  GODDESS'' By: Mingfong  Ho

 
     A  connection  I  have  to  my  book  is  when  Nakri  and  Boran  finally  got  with  there  family  again.
   
I  can  connect  to  this  because   I  once  too  got  back  with  my  hole  family  again.
   
   Another  connection  I  have  is  that  many  people  started  to  take  their  bright cloths  and  clothes  and  started  to  sing  over  the  days, with  out  being  afraid.

     I  can  connect  to  this  because  when  I  first  came  here  to  this  school  it  was weird  and  I  was  afraid  to  do  things  because  I  didn't  know  anyone,but not anymore.

        I'm still reading'' THE STONE GODDESS'' By:Minfong Ho
 How my character expresses themselves  in the book is  by being strong and depending on a dance that keeps her alive throught  all the bad situations  she sais that when she dances she could get out of it by dancing.
I think its important that the character expresses themselves because then i woudn't know that much about the character.
