Journal Entry #6- 11/7/12
Think about an event that occurred during
your reading tonight. If that event was
left out of the story, would it have changed the plot in some way? Why or why not? Be sure to explain the event and how it relates
to the story as a whole.
An event that has occurred in my readingis that there is a guy who you never see his face and he doesn't tell you his name, but he is the one who made a deal with the orphans guardian to make them comme work for him. If that event was not in the story it would change the story because the orphans would not have a misserable time at the work place and still with Mr. Poe who was the guardian...
ReplyDeleteWhile i was reading tonight, one of the main characters(Will) found a burnt down village, and a bottle of wine in the burnt down inn. Will had thought that this would be helpful for future purposes, and indeed it was. Later in the story, Will had found tracks, and followed them to a bandit camp. Here, he planned to get informataion about an evil 'religious' cult, which were actually thieves. In order to get in, he had to sneak through the sentrys around the camp, which is where the wine came in. He snuck up behind one of the sentrys, and knocked him out, and then put the wine in his hand. By doing this, he made it look as if the sentry was drunk, and that no violence had occurred, which allowed him full access to the camp. So without the wine, this would've lever happened, and he probably would've been caught.
ReplyDeleteIn my story, the main character "Callie" is a curious little girl who likes to observe nature, like a naturalist. One day she was studying grasshoppers out on the yard. She saw how there were two colors, yellow to match the dried grass, and a bright green color that obviously stood out. Also, the yellow grasshoppers were slower, and the green grasshoppers were much quicker. She figured out on her own that they were the SAME species, only the green ones were young grasshoppers, and the yellow ones were older grasshoppers. This explains why all the green hoppers keep getting eaten by birds, they pop out and get eaten, therefore they cannot live on the age to become yellow hoppers. She tells her remarkable discovery to her grandfather, who is usually unsocial and keeps to himself in a privately manner. She was scared to her wits to talk to him, but finds out he actually is kind with a soft-spot for nature. They go exploring together, observing plants and animals forming a special bond. If Callie had not observed the species, and told her grandfather about it, they wouldn't have talked to each other at all, thus resulting they wouldn't go on these mini hikes becoming closer together. I think this is a beginning of a close relationship, where they go on adventures together outside their farm.
ReplyDeleteYes this event would have changed the whole plot because Molly and Micheal find out who's house the house is behind their house, the context wouldn't make sense because at first they didn't know who the random house and ghost are or belonged to. in the story Molly and Micheal go to a near by library and ask if they have any articles on the house behind theirs and they find out that i had burned down.
ReplyDeleteIt would change the plot alot because in this part of the book the main charater gets shot and must be air-lifted to the hospital and thay are thinking of sending him home to the U.S. and this could be a major plot change.
ReplyDeleteAn event that happened in the story in Matilda is when Hortensia (a student) explains what the Trunchbull (priniple) does to torment kids. The Trunchbull used to be in the olympics (the events were Shotput, Javelin, Hammerthrow). If they took out that event we wouldn't know about some of the things she does to the kids, for example the chokey, the chokey is a giant hole in the wall with glass and nails in the door and wall you can't lean or you'll be cut from the glass and nails
