The conflict within this vert story is Man-vs-Self. Reason is because Nat does all he can to make his family happy and proud. He goes through so much trouble to get where he is now he had to walk a long way to get a White Stallion (Smokey) and face his little sister nearly getting paralyzed. I'd claim this is because on page "29" it states, "Queenie's eyes flutter some more. I put my arm around her waist and pull her up. Her face twists in pain. Her lip is cut and bleeding. When I finally get her to stand, I see that something seriously wrong. There is a lump on her collarbone, and skin has already turned blue -- from the blood underneath I think." This proves that he went through so much trouble to make his Sisters happy as much as possible.

4th quarter blog #1 "No Small Thing"
The book I began was "no small thing" This book so far is very emotional. So far I realized that there is a family that is poor and has barley any money to have food. Probably even have electricity. Nat is the main character and is the middle child of 2 sisters. Cid is 14 and Queenie is 9 years old. while Nat is 13. The siblings have found a horse for sale and want it so they can have fun and feel like they have hope. They leave their house for a long journey to have this horse. One gotten the horse is was a pony, a white stallion. The pony's name is Smokey. From there the story begins.

Isaac,
ReplyDeleteYou are for sure a master of evidence and explanation sir! I just want to remind you that you should have your first paragraph be a summary of your book. I don't really know what it is about. Then the second paragraph should be a reading strategy with text evidence. Make sure you check your writing and check for clarity. Instead of saying, "reason is" you should say "one reason is." Great detail and explanation Isaac!
