Parrish's Ponderings

Now that you have read over half of Homeless Bird and responded to several questions it is time to write your own blog post.

Directions: Compose a blog post on Homeless Bird that includes evidence and support for your opinions to the following questions.

1. Using your understanding of plot, how does Koly adapt to her surroundings and make the best out of bad situations? Does she adapt? Use quotes and passages from the book to help support your answer.

2. What is the theme of the book so far? Use your book to find specific examples of recurring themes.

3. How does Gloria Whelan use literary devices in Homeless Bird? Are there any comparisons that she uses throughout the book?

Please answer all three questions in paragraph form, making new paragraphs for each question. You will be graded on your use of specific examples from the book and how well you support your opinions with examples. You will also be graded on composition (grammar, periods, capital letters, spelling). So it would behoove you to begin writing on a word document, and proof before you finally post. You will be given two 45 minute class periods and one 30 minute period to complete this.

Please write questions in the comment section and I will answer them as soon as I can.
