ATDPTI Response

This book is one of my favorite books that I have read so far. It is a quick read, which is good, because I am not the biggest fan of reading. The person who is narrating has a very amusing life and it makes me want to read more.

The pictures in the book are a very good addition to the book because it helps the readers understand more of what the narrator is explaining. The pictures are also a good touch because some are funny and make the reader laugh. This book so far is very good and amusing, it is also a good book to read as we work on our research projects.

    I have also enjoyed reading this book. It gets confusing at times though!

Dialogue

"How was school today Ellie?" My mom asks as I get in the car. "Fine," I say tired as always. "Did anything happen today? Anything important?" She says as if she knows something. "Not really. Except I had a French test," I say distantly because my phone is distracting me. "Well, how did it go?" "It was alright, I studied so hard for it. I think I made an A," I say still distracted by my phone. "Good." We drive the rest of the car ride in silence because my mom has nothing to say, and I am too distracted to say anything. "Home already," I mumble to myself, not noticing how short one car ride could be. "What was that?" My mom asks. "Nothing," I say annoyed. "Ellie start your homework soon! You need to go to bed by 10:00," says my mom knowing by the time I finished homework and lollygagging on my phone, it will already be 11:00. "Mom but I am so tired, can't I ...

A + P

One of my favorite short stories was A+P. Although I had a hard time with understanding Sammy's point of view on things, it was still interesting to see what guys think of girls sometimes. The first time I read through to annotate I read very quickly, yet I understood most things. I had to read A+P  a second time slowly to truly understand what was going on in the story. What made this short story so interesting, was seeing what Sammy thought about the girls. I did not like how he wondered if girls just had a little buzz in their head or if they actually had brains. Although he did stand up for the girls, he still talked poorly about them. I think Sammy is a bit girl crazy because he quit his job because his boss did not allow the girls to come in just with their swimsuits. Overall, I enjoyed the short story A+P.

Political Post

In the article  Aide to NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio arrested; police cite loaded gun, 'odor of marijuana' , Cummings explains that a women working in Mayor Bill de Blasios building was arrested for having a loaded gun, and having an 'odor of marijuana' on her. The police say that it was a handgun located in her car. They found the gun because apparently there were sounds of gunfire the night before and they found the worker, Reagan Stevens, sitting in the backseat of her car. The officers could smell the marijuana, so they searched the car. Stevens will be 'suspended without pay' and they will be taking this situation very seriously. I believe that Stevens should be fired because she was a significant public figure that Blasio relied on and trusted. They hired Stevens because they believed she was loyal and hardworking person and she turned out to be doing drugs when she was not supposed to. I chose this article because I liked the topic and the headline stood ou...
