You will be creating a blog (real or simulated) that has a minimum of five blog posts. Prior to creating your blog, you will need to experiment with some prewriting, either brainstorming or free association, in order to hammer out what specifically your blog will be about. While you have the freedom to make your blog about any topic or theme that you would like (as long as it is appropriate), you should hone in and focus on something somewhat narrow. Use one of the prewriting techniques to jumpstart your creativity and figure out the direction of your blog. To help you get going, here are a few thoughts: Will your blog be true? Narrative? About your life and everyday things? Will your blog be persuasive? Focused on convincing others to side with you on an important issue? Will your blog be informational? A more technically written blog that offers information and has an expository feel? Will your blog be fictional? Will you make up the author of the blog and the information or stories presented? If you should choose to make an actual live blog, there are multiple free platforms where you can do so: Blogger. com Wordpress. com Edublogs. com Weebly. com If you would rather not put something on the Internet, you are welcome to use a word processing or Power Point type program to simulate a blog. If you choose this option, be sure to include all of the similar things that would be found on a real live blog, such as a header, color, graphics, etc. Once you have created your blog, including five blog posts, you will need to write a one-page reflection and include the following information: Describe the overall tone of your blog. How well do you feel that your voice was perceived to readers? Describe the ways in which you used syntax and diction in your blog posts. What were some challenges that you encountered during this project? What did you find to be easier than you expected? Will you continue your blog (if it was done live)? Why or why not?

the answer:

in the first part of the story running is all that matters to squeaky. running gives her confidence and defines who she is. at the beginning of the story she says that other kids call her mercury because she runs very fast. in the text she refers to herself as "miss quicksilver".

the line that provides the best evidence that squeaky has self-confidence is

" and i continue with my breathing exercise, strolling down broadway toward the ice cream man on 145th with not a care in the world cause i am miss quicksilver herself".

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
