You must use at LEAST 2 quotes from the book.
Understanding your character is a good way for you to really get into your book and see from another person's perspective. In your response this week, describe your character. Think about and discuss how you understand your main characters.
I am still reading The little house on the prairie by: Laura Ingalls Wilder and I am noticing a lot of things about my characters on how they dress/act and behave, what their personality is like, what their financial situation, how old they are, who their friends and family are, and the type of jobs that they have. I have also realized that my main character, Laura is not really polite because on pg.46 it says, "Why don't you like Indians Ma?" Laura asked, as she caught a drip of molasses with her tongue. Also because her mom infers that she is being on rude and I know that because on pg.47 it says, "I just don't like them; and don't lick your fingers, Laura." said Ma. I also know that Laura doesn't always listen to her parents, but she does love to help around the house a lot with her sister Mary.
I also know that her family is not rich because they have to build their house and
camp outside and rich families don't build their house or camp outside.
One of the other things that I found out was that she is not that scared of the
woods because I know that she has been there for a long time with her sisters,
Mary and Carrie so, she is used to living in the woods with her family.
I am guessing that Laura, Mary and baby Carrie are home schooled and I think
that their father's job is hunting because he always hunts to feed the family.
This book has not adressed how old they are except for Carrie which is 3 years old, I can guess that Laura is 12 years old because of the way that she acts towards her family. I can also guess that Mary is 10 or 11 years old because I
know that Mary is Laura's little sister and Carrie is the youngest child out of all
three of the children.
Rachael,
ReplyDeleteYou have some really good information here and I'm glad to see that you have quotes to really support your thinking. I would have loved to have seen more examples to support your thinking. Also, are you sure about the ages of Laura and her siblings. I'm pretty sure that Mary is the oldest, Laura in the middle and Carrie comes in last. You might want to double check your information.
