You explained your idea well. The quote you picked from The Lesson shows how the narrator talks like a real kid. You were right to say the language is simple and easy to follow. You also explained that the story still gets its point across without using hard words. Your response matches the directions and gives a clear example. You stayed on topic…[Read more]

You explained your idea clearly and used a strong example from The Five-Forty-Eight. The quote you chose shows how Blake avoids dealing with problems, and you explained that well. I liked how you pointed out that the short, plain sentences tell us a lot about him without needing extra words. Your response stayed on topic and was easy to follow.…[Read more]

You did a great job explaining how both articles support your thesis. I liked how you showed that stories are easier for kids to remember than lectures, which makes fairy tales a great way to teach lessons.

I can agree that most literary texts should keep the original language to make the time period and character more authentic. When it comes to stories set in specific times and places, the language demonstrates to readers the beliefs and struggles during that time. In Flannery O’Connor’s work, while the offensive language may be uncomfortable, it’…[Read more]

I agree with you that keeping the original language is important for understanding the story’s historical context and characters. Censoring the offensive language can take away from the message of the story. Even in A Good Man is Hard to Find. The way the grandmother doesn’t see anything wrong with her racist thoughts shows how deeply racism was i…[Read more]

It’s great to see how much effort you’re putting into reading poetry. Its awesome that you’ve connected the themes of Oedipus the King to real life concepts like karma and cause and effect, those lessons are definitely present in both the play and many poems. The lesson by Toni Bambara is a wonderful choice, and I love how it shows different…[Read more]

I really like how you connected your understanding of poetry to reading Oedipus the King. It’s great that you’re noticing how poetry’s language and imagery can help with understanding older texts. I agree that both Sonnet 18 and Oedipus the King show how time and fate can change things in life. Your example from Shakespeare fits so well with…[Read more]
