The Paper Boy Dav Lilly Analysis

This impacts the story line by showing that her parents notice what she has been doing. They have noticed that she is starting to draw. They don’t know the actual reason behind it, they just know that she enjoys it and this shows that they care about her.

As a kid, I was always really shy and spent much of my free time reading books. In 4th grade, the teacher required that each month we read a certain amount of short stories or books and write a summary for each. I always completed the minimum requirement and read plenty extra books. Throughout the year, I always had the most stars next to my name for top reader, not because I wanted to collect as many gold stars as I could, but because I really enjoyed reading. I had my eyes glued to a book even when I was at home. I

When it came to the creation of her horse masterpiece, Danielle has a strong persistence. As she came up to the drawing board, “it looked like she was going to run, but she held her ground”. Her determined mind set keeps her grounded and moving towards her goal of creating her art on the wall. Additionally, Danielle was clearly not discouraged by the lack of encouragement from the children. While she attempted to receive the crayons, a boy “snickered rudely,” and while she drew, the kids “forgot that Danielle was even there”.

She liked the idea of the story but the sentence structure and the vocabulary used made it hard for her to follow sometimes. I found myself stopping to explain what was going on or what a word meant often. This made the process of reading the book unpleasant. If I had been reading this book by myself I would have been able to read it in a couple hours tops but with reading it to her the process ended up stretching out over the course of weeks. She lost interest towards the end and didn’t even want to finish it with me. Granted she is a little younger than the recommended age range but with me reading it to her it shouldn’t have been as difficult for her to understand as it was. I worry that students reading this on their own will not be able to comprehend what is happening and wade through the vocabulary. I know that many of the vocabulary words could be skipped and a student could still comprehend the story but many of the vocabulary words that are more advanced are the words that give the story its fullness and richness. Without understanding those words the characters lose a great deal of their quirk and spunk. It is because of these issues that I don’t think I would recommend this book to students very often. Despite the fact it is only 148 pages I worry that it won’t be a good experience for them. I do think that there are times that this book could be good but not for the average

Bill Lilly was born May 29, 1932 in Pamlico County, North Carolina. His hobbies as a kid were fishing and catching rabbits. He moved around a lot and eventually ended up in Michigan where he is today. He was married to Jacquelyn Lilly and he had one daughter named Terry. He has accomplished many things including being in the navy, saving nine people from a plane that was upside down and on fire, and he got a medal from a senator.

She can illustrate her thoughts onto paper like how she drew trees that looked dead and cracked.

As a six-month-old baby books had opened up a whole entire new world of experience for me. My inspiration to learn how to read and write was encouraged by my Mother and Grandmother. This is because they read out loud to me before bed occasionally and gave me the best time of my life by introducing me to a library. By two years of age I developed speech and other communication skills. This helped me understand and develop a favorite book, “PJ Funny Bunny,” and I would stare at the pages pretending I was reading them. I would continually pretend to read with other Dr. Seuss books, Smurf pop-up books (I imagined I was a part of these for hours), sniff & scratches, and sensory books. I had just begun

“In the psychic town of Lily Dale, New York the veil between life and death is especially thin,” according to Greg Newkirk in Week In Weird article. Lily Dale formally known as Lily Dale Assembly, is a small town located on a lake in New York, about an hour south of Buffalo. The ghost town was founded in 1879 as the Cassadaga Lake Free Association. It took its current in in 1906, named for the lilies covering Cassadaga Lake. Just like any other town, Lily Dale has a post office, volunteer fire department, library, and a playground. There also is a coffee shop, two restaurants, a couple of gift shops, a handful of guesthouses and a beautiful museum. For a 133 years the town has been home to the Lily Dale Assembly, “ a religious organization

Such as, drawing and painting which her teacher, Mrs. LeSane,

She told me she has been painting ever since she was a little girl. She mostly paints landscapes like the the beach, lakes, or mountains. She begins the process by actually looking at what she is going to be painting so she travels a lot to find different settings. She does not have a rough draft, she just begins painting on canvas. After she is done, she does touch ups and finishes the painting. I realized as she was telling me that she does not go through many steps. She told me that she likes to drink coffee during this process because it keeps her focused and awake. When I asked her if the writing process and artistic are similar and why, she told me that they were because they are both gifts and not everybody is good at

He was instantly interested. I told him that since he was so talented, I needed for him to draw me a picture for my art class. It was very easy to convince him to help me with this assignment. I gave him the paper and offered him the option of using markers, crayons, paint, or even oil pastels, but he asked if he could just use markers. He went in his room where he has a desk that he regularly does his homework at and said that he would just do it in there. I then prompted him with the suggestions of drawing about him and his cat, him playing soccer, his family, school, or even about the time he had his birthday party at Fernbank. Once Rustin decided that he wanted to draw about playing fetch with his aunt’s dog, he spent close to fifteen minutes to complete it. Rustin is a relatively quiet eleven year old, therefore most of the time that he was drawing he was silent. I asked him a few times while coloring what he had drawn, and then he would explain it to me. However, I had to initiate any conversation that took place during this time. Once he was finished it was very clear that he drew exactly what he told me he was going to, and when I asked him for the title of the artwork he said it was, Playing fetch with

“I had been a straight A student since the first grade and this last year had looked forward very much to owning that jacket.” Marta is knowledgeable because she gets straight A’s and that is very good because it is really hard to get that. “I didn’t want to interrupt an argument between my teachers.“ She was knowledgeable because she didn't interrupt an argument between her teachers and she waited till the other teacher left before she whent into her classroom. “I decided I wasn’t going to make it any easier for him, so I looked him straight in the eyes.” Marta made a good decision in making the principal feel bad for what he was doing because it was wrong and he was making a bad decision. Marta is knowledgeable because she tried so hard to win that jacket her entire life and when she was so close it was almost taken away but she tried so hard to get it she got it even when it was taken
