<ol>
<li>The Book Was Simply Telling The Story Of A Girl's Life And The Impact It's Had On Her Emotionally, Socially And Physically.</li>
<li>I Think It's Simply Just Telling A Story Of Someone Who Looks Back Onto Why She's The Way She Is.</li>
<li>The Author's Tone Is Kind Of Like Pissed At The World. The Main Character, Dolores, Hates Everyone In Some Small Way. "Ma held me and rocked. "Shh, now. Easy. Just tell us what it is. Just say it" "It's her," I said. "I hate her." (During This Part She Had Pointed At Her Grandma And Said She Hated Her Grandma) "I hated Petey" (Petey Was Dolores' Mother's Bird) "At Jeanette's slumber party, I told Kitty Coffey she smelled like a hamper and I was delighted when she cried."</li>
</ol>
CHARACTERIZATION<br />
<ol>
<li>"Time after time I voted for the same Rheingold girl, whose dark brown hair and red-lipped smile reminded me both of Gisele MacKenzie from "Your Hit Parade" and my own mother, the best looking of the three", "My father was proud and protective of his own dark good looks. I remember having sometimes to hop around and hold my pee until he was finished with his long grooming behind the pink bathroom door on Carter Avenue.", "Don't you ever-<em>ever!</em>-tell me what I can and cannot say in the privacy of my own home," my father shouted from behind the door.", "She turned abruptly toward me and caught me watching her shiny, wet breasts. Sloshing, she strapped her arms around herself and became, again, my proper mother."</li>
<li>Dolores' Syntax/Diction Doesn't Really Change At All. She's The Same To Everyone.</li>
<li>I Would Consider Dolores To Be The Protagonist Because She Battles Her Weight And She's Dynamic Because She Does Change. She's Also Round Because She Develops Throughtout The Book.</li>
<li>I Felt Like Dolores Was A Real Person In The End Since I Got To Know A Lot About Her Life. "This is one of the patterns of our three-year marriage." She Started Out Being Four Years Old And In The End She's Married.</li>
</ol>

<li>I Think Faith's Ribbons Signify Her Being Innocent.</li>
<li>I Think It Was A Little Bit Real And His Imagination Because Things Were Described As It Was Reality But Then Some Things Seemed Unreal.</li>
<li> I Think He Is The Devil Because He Has This Certain Power That Regular People Don't Have And He's Able To Get Goodman Brown To Go Along With Him.</li>
<li>I Think The Staff Represents Temptation That Leads Him Onward. </li>
<li>I Think If He Would Have Stayed Home It Would Have Been Better. He'd Still See People As Good.</li>

<li>Faith Being Named Faith. I Think It Shows How She's Innocent And A Sweet Young Wife. It Helps Me Understand What His Faith Is Like.</li>
<li>Faith's Pink Ribbons. They Also Show Her Innocence And It's Just Something About Her. It Also Helps Me Understand What Faith Is Like.</li>
<li>Gloomy Trees. They Show That The Story Is Going To Be Dark Feeling. They Help Me Get More Of A Feel For The Story. </li>
<li>The Serpent Staff. It Symbolizes Temptation. It Helped Me Understand More Of The Good And Evil Part Of The Story. The Fact That It's A Serpent Also Just Makes Things Feel More Wicked.</li>
<li>The Man Resembled Young Goodman Brown. </li>

I Don't Post Bad Things But They Aren't Professional, I Suppose. I Also Learned That My Passwords For Things Are Good Because They Are A Good Length So I'm Safe With That. I Also Learned That Even Though A Little Ad On The Side Of The Page May Seem Harmless When Clicking On It, IT'S NOT! <br />

But That's What Questions Are For Right?</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"></span><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"><u>Answer #2:</u><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"> I Wouldn't Consider This Learning Experience Awesome But It Is Something I Have Seriously Learned Over A Matter Of Years, People Change And Some Friends Will End Up Not Being As Good Of Friends As You Thought. People Will Change For The Good And For The Bad. Everyone Changes A Little Bit. I Began Learning This During 7th Grade And Now I Can Say I've Learned A Lot About It. I've Seen Negative And Positive Change Happen With My Friends, Boyfriend, Family And Even Myself. My Thinking Has Changed To, For The Better. I Could See It Happening When They Or I Would Do Different Things Or Say Different Things. Seeing People Change Is Sometimes Scary But It's Just What Happens. </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><u>Answer #3</u><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #e06666;"><u>:</u></span> I'm Excited And Also Concerned About All The Stuff On The Internet And Blogging And Stuff Because I'm Not All That Tech Savvy BUT I Am Excited To Learn More About It. I Think It Will End Up Making A Difference In My Life Because Sooo Much Goes On Online. There Is So Much Happening Online And I Should Be A Part Of Some Of It.</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13955613926797828952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7603258882348403927.post-67667093611651883942012-08-19T17:40:00.003-07:002012-08-19T17:40:37.445-07:00Thinking I Want To Improve My Thinking Because I Think It Is Good To Expand Your Mind And Thoughts Into Something Deeper. I've Already Done Some Of This Deeper Thinking And Even Simple Thinking In Dr. Preston's Class So I Know That It's Only Going To Get Better And Better Throughout The Year. I Believe Thinking Is Good For People, It Exercises Your Mind. Thinking Can Do More Than People May Think, It Can Help You Solve Problems You Have Within Yourself And Help You Figure Out A Lot. So Thinking Is What I Want To Get Out Of This Class. It's Way Different Than Any Other Mediocre English Class I've Been In, This One Makes Me Feel Like I'm Going To Actually Get Something Effective Done.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13955613926797828952noreply@blogger.com0
