Literary Luminary

1) These paragraphs were interesting and important because it told us that it is much easier for Caddie to be a tomboy (synonym. energetic) than to be a lady. Being a lady is just uncomfortable and hard for her.
p.5; 3rd-5th paragraph

2) This text was interesting and funny how the Indians were so interested in the children's red hair. I also felt tat their minds are very wide-eyed and naive. It was also funny when they were all crowded around the pale skinned, red headed people, until they got whatever and was satisfied. 
p.6; 4th paragraph, 8th line

3) This part was interesting and important because now we know why and how she became a tomboy, and why father was watching Caddie with a little shine of pride in his eyes when mother and Clara (Caddies' older sister) sighed. 

p.13; 1st (whole) paragraph 

4) These paragraphs were funny because when Uncle Edmund was saying hi to everybody, he also called Caddie and Warren (Caddie's 9 year old (2 years younger than Caddie) little brother) who were not suppose to be here. It was funny and cute how when Woodlawns turned around and Caddie and Warren were just grinning on Betsy (one of their horses)'s back. It tells us that they really wanted to see Uncle Edmund and his visits are important. 

p.30; Last paragraph- p.31; First paragraph

Today's Meeting


Our discussion was very fun just like Andrea said. It was very cool how we were discussing about the book that we actually prepared for our roles. Celine (Discussion Director) was asking questions to keep to discussion going and Ellie (Summarizer) explained to/reminded us one more time about what happened in the book so far. We read the sections of the book that I chose to discuss about and it was very fun because we got to share our opinions and thoughts (we also had a little debate :o).

  1. It is somewhat confusing to read your post without having any indication what the paragraph said. For example #3 mentions you know why Caddie is a tomboy but never tell us...

    1. Thank you for your comment.
      I didn't tell everything but I just wrote what happened and how I felt and I told my thoughts, because this is a discussion with my circle. If I just read it, they would understand what I am talking about. I thought telling what they already read would be unnecessary.
