Poem

Wandering through the endless rivet factory, lost
How could I get my freedom, at what cost?
Listening to the rusty clashes and clanks
Did grunt and wheeze the mechanic's tools go
They really could not just stay slow with the flow.
Along the other side there was a warm fireplace
The cozy cellar room made the silky place not a race.
At last as I looked back on the city rivet.
The place was so break taking I could not even pivot.
To old town I was off, to the place of fun.

Vocabulary Post

       This Saturday I plan to contend for first place in a golf tournament. Every year I speculate about winning but to no avail. Last year I set a record for the worst score and came in last. Although gladly I think this year will be better as I have greatly improved. My results year should be very interesting.

       i am very excited because it is in New Orleans this year so I can travel. Most of the prizes are golf related but some are monetary. It is funny when the contestants talk trash to each other on the course. My personal favorite part is the post game lunch in the clubhouse. I can not wait for Saturday to come.

Research Skills

       So far I have learned about paraphrasing and in text citations during our research so far. In paraphrasing you need to find the right balance in using your own words but using the correct information. I have also learned to use proper in text citations. There are also many different kinds of citations to use. These processes have helped me a lot during the researching and writing stages.

        One thing we have worked on that I do not feel comfortable with is embedding quotes. I struggle in knowing where to put the comma's at during the quotation. I am also not great at having a sentence leading into the quote to make it clear. You also need to explain after the quote so the reader can understand the point you are making easily. Hopefully I am able to improve on embedding quotes as the process continues.

ATDPTI Response 2

     Arnold is currently trying to figuring out how to fit in at school. His mini fight with Roger has kept the other boys from picking on him. He is slowly figuring out the differences between the reservation and Reardan. Throughout most of the chapter Arnold is sad and has no one to talk to besides his family. But by the end of the chapter his happiness and lifestyle is rising.

       The author, Sherman Alexie does a great job in keeping the novel entertaining. The man pictures and simple words make the book much clearer to understand. This style of writing also makes the novel much more enjoyable for at least me. There are also many details found throughout the book to give the reader a better picture. I cannot wait to keep reading.
