In this story, there is a girl named Talya starts out living at her dad's house, which was a care-free, happy, good life, but one day she found a letter that was for her dad, and it was a love letter,. She got mad and tore off some of the paper, written that she was leaving, and tried to remove the watch, all the sudden, the door opens, she hides the paper, curls up on the couch, and she tells her dad she wants to go home(which is her mom's), so they do. When they get there the dad leaves, and Talya waits for her mom to get home, until 10:00, then she writes a note, makes some sugar-less tea, and goes to bed. When her mom gets home she reads the note, drinks some tea, thinks it's horrible, and wakes up Talya late. she said that she had to go to school, but she has the day off. Then the mom gets all mad because Talya mentions her dad, and the mom yelled," You should love your father, he's a great man! Love him!" and then she leaves to school. After trying to calm her down.
I thought this story was... different from the others, because it wasn't totally random, and it gave you more detail about the setting, I could picture it a lot more, and actually relate to it in a way, but I don't want to talk about that. Another thing that I thought was good was that I could tell more about it, which now, I'm going to talk about; I thought the dad was really nice, and was very intelligent, and true, well, he was, but it turns out that he was interested in someone else, and maybe agreed with a few negative thoughts of some things from a love letter. But when Talya went to her mom's I found out how she was. She didn't appreciate the tea the Talya made for her, of course, and she even made her own daughter go to school, when she had the day off. She would seem to get really mad with Talya for stupid reasons. That's why I wasn't as fond of her than her dad.

Hi Cody,
ReplyDeleteI like the way your are relating the stories to your own life and in the reflection is exactly where you should be sharing your response to the stories.
In your summaries, too,you are sharing your feelings and that is where you should just retell or paraphrase the story.
As far as the vocab, you need to be writing 3-5 sentences about that as well. Think about how the words were used in the story and then share that with your readers.
Keep on reading/writing!
Ms. M.
