1. What did you think of this narrative?
I thought the narrative was very well written with lots of sensory details.
2. What was most interesting or engaging about it?
The most interesting part was when she fought with her teacher about what a mug and water is because it showed that she was able to argue and make a point.
3. What surprised you?
The moment when she realized that the barriers can be taken down and she realize who was closet to her meaning her mother father and teacher was the most surprising.
4. Did this change your outlook on Helen Keller at all? Why or why not?
Yes this changes my outlook on Helen Keller because I thought she was just a mad little kid but this told me different and that she was mad because she lost her vision and then Ann Sullivan came and helped her though her problems.
5. Copy and paste three examples of vivid detail and imagery that helped enhance the story
1. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch, and fell on my upturned face.
2. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring.
3. Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen?
6. How can a narrative be more engaging than something like a biography? Why is it important to get someone's personal perspective?
Its important to get the personal perspective because then the narrative is more meaningful and if the writer includes tons off sensory details and some background information will make a great narrative.
7. Make a bulleted lists of some things you could write a narrative about
· Trip to Canada where I fell off boat
· Football when I broke my leg
· Creek trip into the woods getting lost
· Trip to Michigan with my grandparents
I like your narrative ideas! Great!
