WK3- GRP2- Every Living Thing- CISS

        I think the theme of the peaceful story, Planting Things is always protect nature and enjoy life.

        One reason why you should always protect nature and enjoy life is because if you do something good to animals and don't chase it or hurt it you won't regret it. For example, Mr. Willis planted a lot of plants and a robin came and nested in his Swedish ivy. Mr. Willis didn't harm the robin and her eggs and do anything bad. The Swedish ivy was a very good home for the mother robin and her eggs and the eggs hatched in the Swedish Ivy and the baby birds flew away. An example why you should enjoy life is because Mr. Willis didn't hate himself or anything. He planted things in his garden even if he didn't plant it properly, he still like planting things. Mr. Willis really liked planting things.

        Another reason why is that if you enjoy life you can meet a lot of cool stuff. For example, while Mr. Willis was doing what he liked: planting things, he met a robin and he thought that was really cool and his wife went outside and looked at it too.

        This makes me realize that I should always protect nature and enjoy my life.

Week 3 Group 2 Every living thing  A. I . S .D 

The life lesson of this story is that instead of hating life you should be happy and enjoy life. I think the reason why Ms. Willis should have enjoyed life is because she should have saw the amazing things that had happen to Mr.Willis and how amazed he was when the robin made it's nest on Mr.Willis's porch. That is why Ms. Willis should have enjoyed life.  I'm happy that Cynthia Rylant made this book .

       I feel that the life lesson is like the moral. If it is then i think that the moral or the life lesson is never give up you hope or your dreams, because Mr. Willis never give up his love for planting things. The author Cynthia Rylant liked planting things so she decided to write a story about planting things. When I read the story the second time it made so much more seance then the first time. I really liked how the little birds nested on the Swedish ivy.   

                                                                                

                             Week 2 Group 2 Every Living Thing A.I.S.D

Maybe the life lesson might be that you should enjoy your life and live your life that you have. I think that that is the life lesson because the Swedish mans wife was not very well she always used to stay on her bed.

Week 2, gruop 2, Every Living Thing AISD

I think that the author made Gabriel  feel lonely because he was in front of a building that was falling apart with no one to keep him company.        Maybe the the author was bit similar to Gabriel so that probably why she wrote the story. 

The author tells me how Gabriel is lonely by Gabriel not having any company and I also think that the tone also wants me to feel sad and lonely.

Week 2, Group 2, Every Living Thing, AISD

I think that the author made Gabriel show that he is lonely because he lived in a bad house. And they did not mention his parents. Until he found Spaghetti. I liked Spaghetti.        

              Week 2, Group 2, Every Living Thing, A.I.S.D

Our favorite story was Spaghetti so we decided to focus on it. In the story of Spaghetti , Gabriel finds a cat (Spaghetti). How did the author show that Gabriel feels lonely? 

Wk1- Grp2- Every Living Thing- (CISS) What connections are happening between the stories?

        I think how the stories connect is because all of the animals are all unique and special.

        One reason is because all the stories have different feelings. For example, I think the second story is peaceful because the dog, Velma and the owner, Miss Cutcheon is retired and is living a very normal retirement. They all think about children and like children because Velma had three children and Miss Cutcheon used to be a fourth grade school teacher.

        Another reason is some animals are very slow and some are fast. This is because a turtle named Charlie is very slow and the owner, Leo is also very slow, just in a different way. Leo was very slow in learning in school and he is always messing up. Leo brings the turtle to school one day for a presentation and he wins because he explains how slow some people can be and uses the turtle as an example.

        This makes me realize that people are all unique and animals are too.

Every Living Thing

I'm reading a book called every living thing. I like this book because it has lots of short stories. This story makes me think about why was Jenny the only person who went into the forest. I think the most exiting part of the story was when she found the boar. I wondered how every one in the village new there was a boar in the forest when no one had ever seen it.
