On September 12, 14, and 19, 2017 I had the pleasure of tutoring Haven. Haven is a nine-year-old, who is in fourth grade at Mark Twain Elementary School in Hannibal, MO.

comment about how women dress when they are ruined. Next, the nameless maiden reminded Amelia of how she used to speak, she used to say words such as “thee” and “thou”. She also said other phrases like, “thik oon” (this one), “theäs oon” (these ones), and “t’other” (the other). Instead of using these specific phrases now she speaks with a high company, meaning she has an elevated sophisticated language. Amelia responded to the woman by saying, “Some polish is gained with one's ruin.” Therefore, Amelia

neither anything hidden nor anything to be interpreted in Rose's statement, and that is the beauty of it.

Amelia's mom, Brooke, searched on the internet for a more effective saying, but none Amelia took particular interest in. Brooke spent weeks searching and hoping to find the perfect motto for her daughter. Ever since the diagnosis

White both have a theme of memories, and how the past affects the future or present. Both authors use syntax and diction to show the themes.

Profile of your Conversation Partner’s Communication What are the features of your CP’s communication? Consider how they express themselves (think about verbal and non-verbal means).

Your comments about consistent structure and reducing repetition were incredibly insightful! In addition, your general comments will

One of the phrases that I chose to include on the poster is, “THE FOOLISH.” I chose this phrase because that is how the general population is perceived in this book. They easily believe what is told to them and follow the orders of anyone, making them very gullible. Society, at this point, does not really have any individuality.
