Post an analytical question and a response in a TIED paragraph about Round Five on this page. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A TEXT QUOTE FOR FULL CREDIT!
You may comment on another student's question but you should ask one at least one original question per week.
Why would you pay more attention to somebody else instead of paying attention to your own wife?
ReplyDeleteYou might pay attention to somebody else instead of your own wife because you might have a lot of things in mind in which you can't stop thinking about. " I just let Blanca talking about this seventeen-year-old anointed. I would Throw in a well-timed 'really' and 'I hear you' and 'yes, uh-huh'. My mind was really on Bodega and what he said earlier that night. About Vera and what Bodega really wanted from me" (Quinonez 47). This tells us that Chino couldn't focuse on what his wife was telling him. He was not sure wether or not to stop thinking about or help Bodega out. His wife was thinking theat he was hearing her, but he was never doing it. He was too focused on something else.
Good question, but instead of speaking generally,( "You,") talk about the characters in the story. Why is he focused on Bodega? That context and important information is missing. Also, you could include this information if you explained the quote more in-depth in your own words. Needs further development. 7/10
DeleteWhy is chino lying to his wife ?
ReplyDeleteInstead of chino taking care of his wife he is only caring about sapo an old friend . But this friend is not helping chino in any way he is a bad influence . So chino trys to cover up what ever he does with sapo so he lies to his wife . For example in the text bodega dreams chino got home high and the wife said "You smell like marijuana sapo's always smoking that stuff you know blanca , when you speak your breath she mumbled" . So this proved that chino smoked with sapo and tried to cover up an lie to his wife . ~ Jairo Noboa
Watch out for errors in punctuation (no space before periods and other marks) and capitalization -- you do lose points for these mistakes! Giving more context about Sapo and Chino's relationship and why it is more important to Chino than being honest with his wife would have made this response stronger.7/10
DeleteWhy they want to name the baby over so bible name?
ReplyDeleteThey want to name the kid over a bible name because Blanca it's very religious with herself and family,one quote I choose was "I want something. Biblical,like my sister name ..Deborah."(45).this shows how she want a bible name because she prefers to have a religious name like her sister than the kid to have a hood/regular name.
Proofread your work for mistakes in spelling/grammar and punctuation. You lose points for these mistakes! This question doesn't relate to any of the major events of the story. You want to focus on important events in the story that help develop the theme, not little details like this. Also, the response does not have adequate context/development. 6.5/10
DeleteI made a mistake and left this comment for Taina, even though she posted this first. The grade and comments above are for Taina, this comment is for Keven:
DeleteThis is the same as Taina's post. You must ask an original question and use original text evidence to support your answer. This is repeating another student's work. 3/10

ReplyDeleteWhy is Joe Kennedy important to bodega?
Bodega idolizes Joe Kennedy. At the beginning of the conversation, bodega and chino are talking. Joe Kennedy is a prime example of what they are trying to achieve. “ Joe Kennedy was no different from me… Alcohol is a drug, right? Kennedy sold enough booze to kill a herd of rhinos” p.25. this quote explains how Joe Kennedy was no different from bodega. Bodega was trying to sell heroin and Joe Kennedy was trying to sell booze at his time when it was illegal. Both of them were just trying to make profit on the low. Without getting caught.
Good question and good response. You could make it stronger by linking back to the ideas in your topic sentence at the end to conclude your paragraph. How/why does making profit without getting caught cause Bodega to idolize Kennedy? Why is this important to him? Watch out for little errors in capitalization. 8.5/10
