      Didn't really hook the reader with a hook.
  • A theme of Through the Tunnel is to stay persistent when you want to reach your goal.
  • Doris Lessing really knows how to make themes show up in her writing and tells a great story of perseverance.

      This entire piece truly reflects how long Chris has come as a writer this year. He uses passion, voice, and expressive words to reflect on how much this picture means to him.
  • They say a picture says a thousand words. When I look at mine I see friendship and fun times. My picture not only reminds me of a fun but of my friends. It shows me that I have good friends and that when you have good friends you can find happiness. I remember when I first moved to Reading and didn’t know anybody and that wasn’t fun until I got friends. Friendship, that simple word go get you through a lot of things.

      Sounds very choppy
  • Cell City resembles the cell membrane in an animal cell. One reason why is that in the cell rap, it said the cell membrane holds the cell in place just like the fence holds the city in place. Another reason is that the fence lets things go in and out of the city,

      Kind of sounds robotic and i think he definitely improved in his style
  • the main character, Jerry, is persistent. When Jerry is trying to work towards finding what is in the tunnel, he practices holding his breathe underwater all day, until his noes bled
  • Jerry wanted to have the goggles more then anything based on the text. Based on all of the evidence, it is fair to say that Jerry is persistent in many ways.

    Happened in 1965, not 1964
  •  
    This article shows how big race was during the 1900s in America. 600 people were brutally attacked in Selma, because of their color. I learned that in 1965, this attack became known as bloody sunday. Only white people had voting rights during this time period and when the African-American civil right marchers marched, they were brutally attacked. This article teaches you alot about the past America, and their issue on race, and ethnicity.
