Week 1? Old School
Week 1 Blog Week 1 Blog Post Vocab bustling (1)- to move w/ a great show of energy mindlessly (8)- w/out inteligence - needlessAppeals"I had taught myself a little dance that I called "the boogie"(9). THis is an emotional appeal - It leaves us questioning and want more about this dance."Florence Dean's mother emigrated from Germany in the late 1800's" (3). This is logical because it can be proven by facts and gives information on family ties."Aunt Nancy was as FAT as she was tall"(12). Fat is a loaded word because it could easily affend some.Quote"Harlem is the first place called 'home' that I can remember"(7). This quote is significant because Harlem is a very important aspect of the story when talking about growing up, aswell as the events that shaped his life.Theme So far this books central theme is family and the importance they play in a persons life. Dear Walter, I just started reading your book and I am surprised and impressed. Your writing style is smooth and allows me to play out the scenes in my head. Every time I read, a colorful picture is playing out in my mind. I love readingabout your childhood and the various adventures you've taken place in. I wish to hear more exciting stories and humorous tales from growing up.
