 * Literary Luminary **

As the Literary Luminary, it is your job to post parts of the story to your group in order to help your members remember some interesting, powerful, puzzling, or important sections of the text. You decide which passages or paragraphs are worth posting. Write the page numbers and the paragraph numbers down and why you chose the passage. You must choose a minimum of two passages.

= Week 1 My first find was on pg 15 and it said "I'm not Going to run away." said Stanley. "Good thinking." said Mr. Sir. "Nobody runs away from here we don't need a fence. Know why? Because we've got the only water for 100 miles. You want to run away? You'll be buzzard food in three days." I pick that out because if I was Stanley I would be thinking about alot of stuff. Just think what would be going though your mind. Forest = = = = My last on is on pg 33 last paragraph first two sentences. It says Stanley's blisters had ripped open, and new blisters formed. He kept changing his grip on the shovel to try to avoid the pain. I picked that one out because the miserable pain that he would be going throught. Forest =

= Week 1: I think that you had great detail and there was nice sections from the book. It was a very good job. Daniel Wallner = Week : I think the first section that you posted was very powerful. I also liked the word choice in it like buzzard. I also like how you put "Just think what would be going through your mind." It really made me think. - Brandon

week 2 My first paragraph I found is on page 48 it is the first paragragh. It startes like Stanley had no trouble falling asleep, but morning came much to quickly. Every muscle and joint in his body ached as he tried to get out of bed. He didnt think it was possible but his body hurt more than the day before. It wasnt just his arms and back, but his legs, ankles, and waist also hurt. I picked this one because Stanley hurt so bad I dont now if he will make it through the camp.

My last paragragh is on page 74 first paragragh. Later, as stanley sat sprawled across an unstuffed chair, he tried to think of a way to tell the warden where the tube was really found, without getting himself or x-ray in trouble. I picked this one because he found the gold tube but x-Ray got the credit for it.Andrew I liked the first passage because it was vivid on how he hurt so bad. Maybe he wont make it. They second one was good too. Stanley probably felt like he was in tough spot. I know that I would feel like that. Brandon

= Week 3) The Warden stepped forward and struck Mr. Sir across the face. He had three red marks across the left side of his face. It took a minute for the venom to seep in and he clutched his face and screamed. Then he collapsed and rolled on the floor. I was creeped out. It sounded very painful and I could just feel the pain. Daniel Wallner = = = = Week 3) "Can you teach me?" said Zero. "Teach you what?" asked stanley. "To read and write, I don't know how to." I picked this passage because it suprised me. He is in 6th or 7th grade and he cant read or write. Daniel Wallner = = Ya dan the screaming if I were there would have scared me alot and I was suprised by the fact zero couldn't read or write but zero had to be able to read some because he read what stanley wrote to his mom.ole = = That was good Dan that did creep me out to like who would like that on there nails. The second one did supries me to but I think he is older than 6th or 7th gread. Forest = = The first one is creepy and I agree that it is also surprising that he can't read and write. Brandon =

Week4 I found my first one on pg156 "Sploosh!" His voice was strained as he worked on the jar. "that's what I call it. They were buried under the boat." He still couldn't get the lid off. I was a little superazed how did he know the jars were buried and that the boat didn't rot away.

My 2nd find was on pg154 "Hey!" the thing answered weakly. Then a dark hand and an orange sleeve reached up out of the tunnel. I thought this was werid because how did zero live here and howed he find it. ole

Week 5

My first found was on pg 159.But hand then back to the moas he studied the mountain,his right hand slowly formed into a fist .He raised his thumd.hies wentis ey from the mountain to his untain.Boniface

My second found was on pg 160.They hadn't gone very far before zero had another attack.He clutched his stomach as he let himself fall to the ground.Stanley could only wait for it to pass.BBoniface I like your last one i like the word choice in that one great job.Andrew Week 6

My first paragraph showed the bond of Zero and Stanley's friendship. "Zero remained perfectly still except for his right hand, which slowly formed into a fist. Then he raised his thumb, giving Stanley the thumbs-up sign." Page 210 paragraph 4 Brandon

My last paragraph showed that the lawyer actually cares about them. "I stole the sneakers." The lawyer actually turned around while driving and looked at him. "I didn't hear that," she said. "and I advise you to make sure I don't hear it again." She said that because he actually did commit a minimal minor crime, but felt bad for them so she didn't really care but other people would of so she said not to say that again. Brandon I like your last inference i think you did a great job.Andrew
