thanks emily, i'm going to send put it on here once i'm totally done. right noe i'm organizing everything and doing to mixing stuff at the bottom, i totally get where your coming from i'm trying to do that!

Tony H. said...

ok thats the whole essay? but if you put it in microsoft like you copy and past it makes two pages... double spaced and everything... but you said i didnt really have transition, can you explain that more???

-Thanks

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

great now thats another thing i need to finish up.

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

wow this is the most amount of comments weve ever had on a blog

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

No I found what the promblem was XD my font is at 8 and my margins are tiny... sorry.

Okay transitions: Connect between your topics more, you tell your story then say something along the lines, " this incident is burned withing in so that I carry it everywhere i go". and then you can start going into what you carry. Does that help? :)

david said...

what should i have on my brochure im doing it on war?

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

David: what does the book say about war and what is the brochure trying to get a person to do, go to war, and stop war?

Tony H. said...

haha nice :) jk and yeah very...

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

so im doing an encyclopedia article on Jimmy Cross and i was wondering how to title it. do i just type "Encyclopedia article" or is there somthing else I could do?

Adog said...

Hey, i'm doing the recipe with character Norman Bowker. I want one of the ingredients to be (poop)field and was wondering if it would be okay for me to swear? i think you know what i'm trying to say here.

Unknown said...

i am going to do an advice column for characters. since tim obrien was used in my hero the journey, there werent too many other main characters. do u think that its alright if i used a character that died?

Michelle =) said...

yeahh Mrs. Perrin said we can use it. Just don't over use it and only use it when its needed ya know?

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

yes. Mrs Perrin said that you can say that because it was described that way in the book

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Perkin: You could title it Article, page 43, third down from the second column.

we had this discussion before, you can swear just not too much.

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Yup! I think that if you asked questions by loved ones that would be okay!

Beth said...

Perkins- Im pretty sure that for encyclopedia articles they don't really have exciting titles just the topic of what the article is about. So for your article you could probably just have Jimmy Cross or Lieutenant Jimmy Cross as your title I think :)

Recipe for Mary Anne

1 suit case
1 one way flight to Vietnam
1 dream to marry Mark Fossie
½ cups of guts
¼ ounces of manliness
1 dark green bandana
5 cups curiosity
1/8 willing to learn
2 ounces of ignorance

First add her suit case that she brings with her on her one way trip to Vietnam to visit her boyfriend, and hope to be future husband, Mark Fossie. Add that to the guts she has to be around men that transformed her from the cute, fresh women just out of high school, into a woman who wears a dark green bandana, and does not care about hygiene anymore. The curiosity of the war and willingness to learn also helps transform her into one of the guys. The transformed women walked off one night and never returned… *Bake all ingredients at 450 degrees for 25-32 minutes.


ok i don't think this is very good, i know what i want to say but its not coming out.

david said...

are we allowed to use "I" in the collage statement on the back ????????

Michelle =) said...

david: yes we use "i" in the collage statement

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Kirstie: What items do you use in coking, act as if those items really are food and think of different combinations that would make Mary anee.

David: Yup we are allowed our srcape of "I" on the back.

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

ok thats what i thought but im making a change. im doing the encyclopedia article on hero and the recipe on jimmy cross just because the article was a little hard to do for jimmy cross.

Unknown said...

can you explain a little more daisy?

i don't know why i'm confused.

Kevinlimbaugh said...

What is the max pages for the things I carry? Right now I have 2 full pages and part of another, is that ok?

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Okay here's an example:

To make a computer

Step one slowly stir in memory chips, mother board, and the ram drive. Crack the swtichs and speakers and add to the keyboard. Blend all items together, then for the finishing touches put some hard plactic and shiny buttons all around. Let rest for 24 hours in a cool area, take out and enjoy after the 24 hours are up.

Unknown said...

Kirstie it is getting better, but don't forget words like mixing, stirring, and maybe you could put the tools used (pans, knives) or the amount in the paragraph with the steps. Also this is just an idea, but you could compare your mary Anne ingrediants withreal things used in cooking Ex: mary anne's guts = spices or i don't know the badana could be a banana. Maybe you even take a real food recipe like a recipe for cake and make a Mary Anne Cake but replace butter with um... a suit case full of butter or make her dream of marrying mark,cream of dream. just an idea

Michelle =) said...

kevin: she never gave a maximum. she just said no less than 2 pages. so your perfectly fine

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Kevin: I believe the min is 2 pages, or that could have been just the amount Perrin wanted, but you're safe either way :)

Unknown said...

ahhh! ok i'll try my best.

david said...

i am doing short story for change, is the story about something in my life? how do i relate that to the things they carried? do i mix them in somehow?

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

For short story, it has to be fictional, and I'd personally do something to relate back to the book like I was with Kiowa during his death or something.

Michelle =) said...

i asked this question earlier directing it towards Mrs. P but she kinda hasn't been on since then.For my lead of the things i carry...(for those of you who know me)I have the crazy personality and mind of like an 8 yr old. Do you think it would be appropriate for teh story lead to be like a made up story showing i carry imagination?

david said...

what would be the change part?

david said...

no i think it should be a true story

Marissa said...

hey, for group 4 im drawing a pic. of a book with all the characters that died on the cover . Does this sound okay for my explanation? In Tim O’Brien’s novel, The Things They Carried, storytelling played a significant role. Throughout the novel,
various stories of the dead were told, by the soldiers. The soldiers sharedthe stories to keep the dead aliveand pretended that death wasn’t so awful and frightening. Some of which include:
Curt Lemon, Ted Lavender, Kiowa,
Norman Bowker, and Linda. Tim
O’Brien writes, “Often they were
exaggerated, or blatant lies, but it was a way of bringing body and
soul back together, or a way of makingnew bodies for the souls to inhabit”,(pg. 239, par.2). Here we can see that even though the stories that the soldierstold were often untrue, they reunited
the dead soldier’s spiritual being, and the traits that made the character who they are to their body, or discovered
new bodies to place the souls
of the characters in. By sharing the stories, soldiers reenacted what that character said and did, causing it to seem like the character was still alive in someways.

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

David: that's for you to choose.

Mishelle: Does that story describe who you are then that would be fine, and I think it could work well for you.

I have to leave for a bit I'll be back in like 30 mins to a hour.

Marissa said...

michelle,
yeah that sounds really
good and interesting. and then
throughout the story you can keep repeating, I have an imagination.

Tony H. said...

For the brochure what if you didnt fill in all of the pages... you just filled in as much info as you knew about the guy ?

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

so hows this recipe sound for jimmy cross

1 cup of misplaced affection
3 tbsp of obsession
5 scoops of responsiblity
1/2 cup of regrets
1/3 tsp of unreturned love
1 whole Epiphany
a pinch of cowerdice
3/4 cup of kicking oneself
2 tsp. relentlessness

does this sound ok or not?

Marissa said...

tony, that happened
to me, try to find pictures
of the things that they carried to put in it.

Kevinlimbaugh said...

Thank you guys very much for the help.

david said...

what should i do with the brochure, its about war what should i have on it? how long/big should it be?

Marissa said...

the brochure is just a piece of
one piece of paper folded, on the
very back is where you put your sources. you should try to find things that symbolize what tim o'brien said about war, what war was.

Michelle =) said...

well david mrs p said that it had to be a trifold so you can always just make one on publisher or w.e just make sure it fills up the brouchure and write all teh ideas of war that were in the book

Adog said...

hi again. I'm doing the recipe and i was wondering if i should use actual numbers (1, 2, 3) or if i should spell it out (one, two, three) in the directions and/or in the ingredients?

Marissa said...

adog, yeah i don't
think you have to spell out
the numbers bc it's a recipe.

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Marissa: you know you don't have to cite from the book right? It's a nice introduction, maybe say where each dead person is on the cover.

I would not speel out the numbers because I have never seen a cook book do that :)

david said...

what info should i put on my war brochure besides facts?

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

hey daisy i emailed you a copy of my encyclopedia articl . could you proff it for me please? -Perkins

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

hey was my recipe for jimmy cross good or not?

Dr. Markus said...

Wow. 250 posts. I'm glad everyone is taking advantage of this. :)

My interview should be double spaced, correct?
I know we're supposed to do everything but...

david said...

in my change-short story i am a friend of jimmy cross, do you think it would be alright to just call him jimmy since i am his friend ?

Dr. Markus said...

Perkins:
Yeah, it's okay.
I'd add some physical stuff, like
2 love letters from Martha

That's my opinion at least.
Good luck!

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

dave if your writing it from his friends point of view than yeah i think it would be ok for you to call him jimmy

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

k thanks markus

david said...

thanks all

Andy or Tyler said...

Hello, its Tyler again. Do you think my poem is good:

At twenty-one, Tim worked at a meat packing plant,
Regardless of his college degree.
He was not exactly proud of the Job;
He was not screaming with glee

One day a letter was sent in the mail,
It was addressed to young Tim.
It said he was drafted to Vietnam,
To a war and risk life and limb

Tim was too smart, too compassionate,
Obviously it was sent out of order.
But the fact it arrived, said otherwise,
So Tim went to the northern border.

On his way to hide in Canada,
There was a place called the Tip Top lodge.
He stayed and felt he avoided his family,
But it was the war he wanted to dodge.

A man named Elroy owned this lodge,
And he was quite a reticent man.
He somewhat knew what was going on,
And without words he made Tim re-plan.

Elroy made Tim change his mind;
Tim knew he could not handle the shame.
Now he knew there was no turning back,
He knew nothing would ever be the same.

When Tim arrived in Vietnam,
He was instantly thrown into action.
He made friends and Allies very quickly,
And learned to shake dead hands without reaction.

When Tim was first shot, he panicked at first
But the medic Rat Kiley took the pain away.
Tim was sent to a hospital without much hurt
Rat Kiley had saved Tim’s day.

When Tim came back, a new medic was in town.
He went by the name of Bob.
When Tim was shot a second time,
Bobby was an obnoxious slob.

Bob was hesitant,
His bones seemed to lock.
He stood rubbing his mustache,
He forgot to treat for shock.

Tim thought he was ready to die,
The pain felt so real.
But luckily for Tim,
He survived the whole ordeal.

He kept a few good memories,
And a few of the bad.
Memories were his souvenir,
Because they were all he had.

Tim is moved to safe duty,
But his scars will never heal.
He blames it all on Bobby,
He wants Bob to feel.

The crew comes back one day,
Bob is put on night shift
Tim scares him with flares and sounds,
But it the bad thoughts were what bob was able to sift.

Bob knew Tim tried to scare him,
Bob could see it in his eyes.
Tim admitted and the two forgave,
And the two became Allies.

Now Tim is back,
He survived the war.
He decided to get married,
And get a better job than before.

Tim brought back Stories,
And wisdom of his past.
Though not all is true,
It’s enough to share and last.

Marissa said...

daisy, thank you, i know but i thought that quote fit my picture, do you mean like label on the pic where each person is?

Dr. Markus said...

It's pretty good Tyler.
My only advice would be to take out anything that you think doesn't matter as much as the rest.
Remember what Mrs. P said?
Don't start rambling. Stick to the point.

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

David: Yup it would be okay, just make sure you state he is your friend.

Marissa: Yeah so that people aren't just like oh I guess that one's curt lemon. I get where you are coming from :).

Tyler: Poem is suppose to be 16 lines not stanzas!

david said...

HEY! what was the order of people dieing in the book? was it ted, lemon, and Kiowa? were there more people who died then that and what is the order????????

Dr. Markus said...

Oh my gosh Daisy.
He does have 16 stanzas.
I didn't even notice that before.

And yes David.
Ted Lavender,
Curt Lemon
Kiowa

In that order.

Marissa said...

daisy, thank you
so much:) geeezz
you are so good at answering
questionsss!

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

David: I think that's all right :)

Perkins: Hey I can't download that type of format onto all three of the computers at home... sorry!

Andy or Tyler said...

I'm trying to find the spots I'm ranting at, but I can't seem to find any. Am I wrong?

Kevinlimbaugh said...

What is the difference between the chart and graph part of group 4?
Thanks

Dr. Markus said...

What genre is this poem for Tyler?
I think that the whole thing with Bob is kind of a rant. Most of the poem is about that, so it depends on what genre you're doing.

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Tyler: How about these:
He was not exactly proud of the Job;
He was not screaming with glee

One day a letter was sent in the mail,
It was addressed to young Tim.

A man named Elroy owned this lodge,
And he was quite a reticent man.

I'm not going to sit here and give all of them but some of them you can combine together to shorten this down to only 16 lines.

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Kevin: A Chart has cells, rows and columns, a graph has a visual aid.

Adog said...

Would anyone please proof/edit my recipe of norman Bowker (dude committed suicide/ lonely, drove around lake 'speaking of courage') and/or my interview of change?

Kevinlimbaugh said...

Tyler, its a good poem, but I counted 70 lines, Mrs. P wants 16. I might not be the best at math but I don't think 70 is very close to 16. It is a good poem though.

Beth said...

Okay for a brochure does it need to be double spaced? I know that double spacing is preferred because it helps Mrs.Perrins eyes not to bleed. But im only asking because I have never seen a double spaced brochure in my life so I just wanted to make sure :)

Marissa said...

beth, i didn't double space
mine, bc i was thinking the space thing, but are we supposed to double space everything else like for the other genres?

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

ok daisy i tried something different this time and resent it hope it works. -Perkins

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

I'm double spacing everything, even though I have never seen a manual double spaced I'm still doing it because although you are trying to copy the style of a piece regular rules I think come first.

Andy or Tyler said...

I asked Mrs. perrin in class and she said a 16 line MINIMUM. and that you can go as many as you want just as long if you dont rant. And for Markus, it is the Hero-the journey. I'll try rationing the bob parts.

Kevinlimbaugh said...

Ok, Tyler but some place above Mrs. Perrin says that there are limits before its ridiculous. I don't think your ranting but that is just me.

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

It worked... thanks.

By-the-by I want to give a little aid to everyone:

If you are one of those people that have a problem with the word "you" or using "don'ts and Couldn'ts" (words smashed together with ') then I have an easy way for you to terminate these, when you open the page that you are doing your essay on press Ctrl+F a little box should appear, type in the word that often shows up in your work that shouldn't, like the word "you" or the symbol "'" the computer will go through your document and highlight these words so you know where they are at! Then you can go back and change them :).

Andy or Tyler said...

Good, I think it will be fine as long as no one here was bored when they were reading it. Also, this doesn't have to be double spaced, does it?

david said...

how many pages must the short story be???

david said...

how should i close my short story?

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

David: She said no over two pages for a short story :)

Tyler: Poem is double spaced.

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

David: Close it with a moral lesson I think because those stick the most. Or just the point you are trying to make throughout the story.

Adog said...

Daisy, Would you or anyone else please proof/edit my recipe of norman Bowker (dude committed suicide/ lonely, drove around lake 'speaking of courage') and/or my interview of change?

Tony H. said...

Daisy how bout my poem?

He started off as a little boy
His big smile was filled with joy
He liked to play ball
even though he was really small

He started growing up to become a young adult
I let him pre-enlist for the army; this was my fault
He told me "Dad its going to be fine"
I told him never come back if he crosses that line!

He crossed the line and say ill come back soon
But thats not what i heard from the lietenit of his platoon

I went down to examine John Doe
and sure enough it was him
That young son of mine... his name was tim

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Of course, send it to my email, but don't do it in an sttachment because right now I can't open any attachments and I don't know why.

My Email is: dglaeser@verizon.net

david said...

k thanks

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

That's Nice I like that little jingle it has but you need to add two more lines to it :)

Tony H. said...

k thanks :) that was a poem for hero- the journey... i actually came up with one... but thanks ill add 2 more lines... thats all we need for the poem though right? cuz if it is than im thinking thats a B :)

david said...

ha nice one Anton. tony how far are you? what else do u need to do?

Tony H. said...

ha david! im like basically done with everything but i just have to put it all together and print everything off and ill be done!!!!! Score!

david said...

same here except 4 my war brochure

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Don't forget the prolouge when you're done with everything :)

david said...

o yea. what do u need for that?

Tony H. said...

wats the prolouge????

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

the proluge is about the writing, reading, and thinking processes right?


by the way daisy hows my article so far?

Kevinlimbaugh said...

For the interview, should I lead with a little paragraph, then go in the
|Kevin:----------?
|Mr O'Brian: -----------.

is that the proper format for it then after the 21?'s have a little paragraph sum it up? Or is this wrong, thank you.

Marissa said...

kevin, I asked mrs.perrin about that and she said that we can have an intro and a conclusion.

Kevinlimbaugh said...

And what about, the name/conversation part? Is that Ok? Or should it be done differently?

Marissa said...

my format for that is
Q 1. Me-"sfsdfs"
A O'Brien-"fdgfdg"

Kevinlimbaugh said...

Ok, Thanks Marissa.

david said...

whats the format for the cites on the brochure? how should i cite them?

Marissa said...

your welcome.

Marissa said...

david, it depends
are u citing pictures?

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Perkins: Sent back an e-mail

THe prolouge is just like a reflection letter, you just say what you went through to get your final copy.

Kevin: That's fine. I think that's what you have to do :).

david said...

yes pictures and cites...

how do i tie in The things they carried in my brochure??

Dr. Markus said...

I'm just posting because I'm going to be extremely rude/evil and say that I just finished my last genre.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now to put it together...
By the way, I'll help you guys now a lot more. I can edit stuff too if you want. :)

Markus

Marissa said...

ohkay well this is the format:
pictures-
author's name (last,first)
name of painting or picture (underline)
date it was painted
where it was painted
date you got it
and the url.

Dr. Markus said...

Okay, I have a formatting problem.
You know how we need in our header:
Buchfellner 1?

Should I put it for each page number, regardless for when I change genres?
Like lets say my Character genre is first. It's two pages long, so that's Buchfellner 1 and 2.

Next, lets say I'll put Change.
Would my change pages be Buchfellner 3 and 4? Or do we start over and put 1 and 2 again?

I hope this makes sense.

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Haha Markus I finished for my third time yesterday :P

David: For anything you can always do examples or have an attraction: Kiowa's death or something along those lines :)

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Markus: You just keep a stedy pluse so you would go 1,2,3,4 not 1,2,1,2. If that helps.

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

ok so for my encyclopedia article do I have to say it's an encyclopedia article or do you think Mrs. Perrin will know?

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

I would say what it is in everything just to make certain! :)

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

wait would i have to put Perkins 1 2 3 (etc) on everything in order?
lioke one genre has 1 2 and the next has 3 4 and the next has 5 6?

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Yup Perkins you did it right, every page has a different number.

Adog said...

Do i need to cite my pictures for my collage??

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

even the different genres continue the number sequence?

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Yup! So I have 17 pages so I have a number 17 on my last page.

I would cite to be safe.

Dr. Markus said...

That's the question I just asked Perkins, do you read other people's stuff??? :/

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

greta now I have to go back and fix that.

and markus yeah i read your question but I was just making sure I understood it.

david said...

isnt that letter to mrs perrin?

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Yup: the prolouge says Dear Mrs. Perrin or whatever title you choose for her.

Michelle =) said...

I was reading over my para for the collage and it seems like I am writing like o'brien. Not in a good way though. Like it seems like I;m restating what he does in the book only in my own words. How should i change it?

Mrs. P said...

Collage--The paragraph should explain what is in the collage and the motivation behind what you put there. What ever your topic, you need to explain how the images fit together.

Rough drafts go in the back.

Scrapbooks can be very creative. Do not let your creativity interfere with me reading it.

Recipe for Mary Anne--mix the physical and the emotional. I saw a lot of physical, but very little emotional.
Recipe for whatever:
EX: 3 cups of anger, 2 cups of reality, 3tbs of fear, 4 tsp of enemy fire, 1 cup of rice patties
Mix together in a small bowl, bake for several tours of duty and serves a family etc...

Keep plucking along. You are doing well at answering each other's questions.

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Think of something that is between the lines is the book and write a little on that. The paragraph is suppose to do that but you can also put your intentions as well.

Michelle =) said...

daisy or Markus or whoever. I thought that's what i was doing. But idk. Can someone possibly read it over??

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Send it to my e-mailor post if you want.

Michelle =) said...

i sent it to your email. I figured it would be easier.

david said...

where does the letter belong-front or back?

Dr. Markus said...

I probably should post my email.
If any one wants me to take a look at their stuff, send it to:

mbuchfellner@gmail.com

Thanks and hope everyone is doing well.

bsman132 said...

is it good or bad that i somehow made the interview funny?

Dr. Markus said...

Ummmm
I think inserting some humor into it is okay, but you don't want to overdo it.
If Mrs. Perrin reads it and thinks it's a huge joke, she's not going to think very highly of it.

david said...

where does the letter belong-front or back?

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

David: letter front

Bunting: The interveiw can be funny depends on what the topic is and whoose it with.

Dr. Markus said...

Very front. Before everything.

bsman132 said...

Um yeah somehow i turned it into a huge joke. i didnt even try this time

Dr. Markus said...

Curse you Daisy and your "I'm going to post at the exact same time as Markus"

david said...

THANKS EVERYONE!!! now i am DONE!!! :) YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Markus said...

Andrew!
Don't do that, you don't want to fail that part, do you?

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

nice job david :)

I'm sure the interveiw has some point to it!

bsman132 said...

its only one of the five. i got 4 others to make up for it.

Unknown said...

hey i dont know if anyone has asked yet (there are too many comments to go through!) but in the relfective letter at the end, do we say what grade we think we should get or just write about the process and stuff?

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

I didn't say what grade I think I should get I just said stuff about the process.

bsman132 said...

your supposed to do what you learned about yourself, how to read the paper and why you put the stuff you did

Michelle =) said...

Andrew! perrin will murder you. hahahahaah! I do believe humor is good to add. Just make it so its humor people wioll understand and actually think is funny

bsman132 said...

how do you make a collage on hero -the journey? i am so lost on that

Michelle =) said...

Hmmm markus and daisy fighting. What a surprise!

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

I'm almost done I just have to put it together and finsh up the letter

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Fighting? Hmmm...

Bunting: THink of all steps of a hero get pictures of that and pictures that go with the book jam them together and ta-da. Then write a paragraph explaining it all.

bsman132 said...

yupp. very big suprise. never seen that b4

Unknown said...

thanks (:

Unknown said...

This is going to seem like a stupid question, but when numbering the pages do we put #1 ON the prologue or on the one that FOLLOWS it?

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

good point i dont want to print off my stuff again so should i not put a number on my prolouge, should i put a 7, or a 0?

Michelle =) said...

Markus would you mind if i emailed you a genre? I have already had daisy check like two things of mine.

Andy or Tyler said...

I did the advice column and Its just sort of like Q: then its like A: then Q: then A:, etc. and thats all it is. Is that correct?

Unknown said...

I mean I know that the prologue has to go first (check rubrik) but I don't know if I should put a page number on it

Andy or Tyler said...

Emily: I looked in a few books on my shelf, and the prolouge or the dedicated page dont have numbers for any of them. They are seperate from everything else, basicly you saying what you want to say before you start.
-Tyler

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

so we dont have to label the prolouge "Perkins 7" or whatever?

bsman132 said...

how many pics should be in the collage?

well all the collages ive seen the page is mostly covered with pictures so i would say at least 15 to 20

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Ok prolouge on mine was number but that's because I have a tie from the prolouge to my topic so I used it's page number

For pictures wise I'd say 10-20 ;)

bsman132 said...

thanks perkins. but mine is on hero- the journey. iv got some pics but what should i have?

Andy or Tyler said...

Nope. No numbers on the prolouge, only what you want the reader to hear before the ACTUAL thing.

Unknown said...

oh thanks!

Andy or Tyler said...

Bunting, put like one or two pictures for each of the stages. I cant tell you like the exact stuff because mrs. perrin would give me like an auto zero, but put the collage in a way that the people have an order at looking at the pictures.

bsman132 said...

JESS(:! said...

if i am doing the newspaper for The Hero-the Journey am i aloud to put quotes from the book of thing Tim O'Brien said?

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

loti

Jess: I think you can since it's a newspaper just don't do it for everythign :)

Andy or Tyler said...

for JESS: Yes, of course. Just keep page number and all that other stuff in mind. If you just state it rather than quotes though, it is easier because you don't need to go through as much, but quotes are much more powerfull.

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

You'd have to introduce the book somewhere before then too in order for it to make sense.

Andy or Tyler said...

I did the advice column and Its just sort of like Q: then its like A: then Q: then A:, etc. and thats all it is. Is that correct?

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

yeah thats it as long as you actually ask and answer questions

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

loti

Yeah, On mine I did Q: but I never did A: I've seen advice columns go both ways so you're fine :).

Andy or Tyler said...

Good. Lol, I was hopping that sorta went without saying. But then again with this much freedom and lack of detailed instuction, you can never be too careful.

Unknown said...

ok i have my last genre to do and it's hero- the journey.
i have no idea how to do it and what ever has to be in it.
i'm going to try to do a news paper article, so do i just do tim journey? or what?

Perkinsdrummer66 said...

well im not quite sure what your asking but what you have to do is describe the stages of the hero and relate it to the book

♠♥ƔƟƝ♣♦ said...

Kirstie: I would just go with gut feeling if you're doing it this late at night but I guess you could dot that and then be a reporter who explains how O'Brien is a hero (remember not to call him Tim).

Super is served at my house so I might be back.

Unknown said...

thanks that's what i'm giong to do. like one page maybeeeee?

bsman132 said...

its a newspaper article. normally they arent too long so a page should be fine

Andy or Tyler said...

Kirstie: If you can go through the 11 or 12 stages of the hero----the journey in one page, and you think mrs. perrin will like it. That should be good. Try not to limit yourself though, if anything, write too much and delete the bad parts.

Unknown said...

how do i know if your andy or tyler? ha

JESS(:! said...

thanks for the help(:

Dr. Markus said...

I haven't posted in ages.
My parents and I are trying to fix our printer.
It's not working anymore and I have 2 more genres to print. ):
I'm back at the computer now, you guys can email me if ya want.

Leanne ♥ said...

heyy. in the reflection letter, do we need to say what grade we believe we deserve?

Andy or Tyler said...

Well, andy doesn't seem to want to post, so it's tyler all the time on this one.

Andy or Tyler said...

Leanne, I would say the grade that I think I deserve just in case, because every time we did a reflection this year we had to. Also it is better to be safe then sorry, and I doubt mrs. perrin would take off points just because you said the grade you deserved in a reflection letter.
