Connector

**As the Connector, it is your job to find connections between the novel your group is reading and the outside world. Remember the types of connections are text-to-text, text-to-self, and text-to-world. You must label the type of connection, give the example you found in the book along with the page number, and state how you made the connection. M** ** ake at least //two (2)// connections from the book. ** = Week 1 = 1) "His cap was stained with blood from his own hands. He felt like he was digging his own grave." I can connect this to digging in my own yard when i was little and can connect that it is hard work, especially if the dirt was dry. I can definatley tell why this was an alternate to going to jail. (page 38) 2) "Only ten million more to go, he thought, then placed the shovel back in the crack and jumped on it again." I know what he feels like. I feel like this after the first day of school. This helps me understand his characteristics better. (page 27) - Brandon Plummer

=Week 2 = =1Text to self "Stanley had no trouble falling asleep but morning came to fast. Every muscle and joint in his body ached as he tried to get out of bed." When I was little and we just put in our new sandbox, I dug and dug all day but the next morning came I was so sore i did not wont to get up. Forest =

=2 text to text The warden said dig more I will give you more watter. In Hugo Cabret if he fixed more and more stuff he would get his book back. Forest = =I liked your second connection becuase I also have read Hugo Cabret. Now that I think about it, it is very similar.

Once at lunch someone took a bag of chips from a luch box as a joke and then he gave them to me and my freind thought I took the chips. = Week 4: = = Text to Self: When Stanley and Zero had no water I can relate to that. During track last week we had to run on this trail and we had no water the whole way. We were thirsty. Daniel Wallner = = = = Text to Self: When Mr. Pendanski was hit with the shovel i can relate to that. When I was little, my brother hit me (on accident) in the head with a golf club. Daniel Wallner = = Good connections. The second one sounds painful, so you can relate to Mr. Pendanski I guess. The first one was also good, and you can relate to how thirsty he was and how he feels when he is out of water. (or gets none because of Mr. Sir) Brandon = = I thought you did good. the first one i think that you did not have water for running but how long was that Stanley does not have water for a while.
