She is upset because winter has taken away all the beauty of her island. You can really feel her passion and emotion, when reading pages 66 and 67, about her love for the Island of the Blue Dolphins. She talks about spring and the beauty of it, how the flowers bloom and the wildlife is newly born. Have you ever been to a place this special to you? It could be a city spot, or even far out in the middle of nowhere. Comment a place you know and love. Make a personal connection with the girl and her island! Here is a picture of my "escape place" its a hint for a later on blog post...
Thanks for checking in this week! I will see you again soon, hopefully not sporadically!
I feel this way about supply aisles! Is that weird? Yes it is (I know), but I just love the rows of lined paper, the soft pink erasers, and the colorful fountain pens and post-its. It's like my safe haven. Whenever I need a pick me up, a new clean notebook or a pack of post-its does the trick.
ReplyDeleteI feel this way about a little town called Lakeside that we go to on vacation every year. In the summer it is very warm and beautiful but in the winter it is cold, frozen, and dull. I really miss Lakeside this time of year, just like the girl in your book does, and I wish i could go to a place like it this time of year, to escape the cold. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI really love the quote at the very beginning. Its interesting, and cool.
