I received a call during 1st hour from the Goddard School informing that Sam had pink eye and that I needed to pick him up right away. He's now enjoying the pleasure of burning eye drops four times a day, so I should be back tomorrow. <br /><br />Fantastic observations on the blog! I hope peer editing was helpful as well, and tomorrow I will share with you some sample essays on this particular prompt.Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15076857976818237278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198776083430414546.post-78946259357755461432013-01-09T09:22:10.084-08:002013-01-09T09:22:10.084-08:00AP Test | Question 2| “Johnny Got His Gun”
Jake: ...AP Test | Question 2| “Johnny Got His Gun”<br /><br />Jake: Relationship between boy and father, loving respectful and continuing to grow<br />Eric: changing, coming into manhood, sexual imagery – rod, nature is daunting in beginning, later asserts his dominance over nature – laying on pine needles<br />Kara: relationship moves from mutual to son’s dominance, streams connecting to lake – end of stream, beginning of lake – parallels relationship<br />Emily: father’s death – doesn’t wake up, 9000 feet high – heaven<br />Kristen: simple language<br />Ariel: no quotation marks, casual, reflects relationship between boy and father. Repair of the rod reflects the renewal of relationship every year on trip. Trusts rod to son – trusts relationship to son<br />Bailey: simple relationship, no fakeness <br />David: ceremonious, uniformity is tarnished, stomps on the relationship, conclusion of the relationship, abandons the ritual<br />Cayla: not an ending, rod from father to son makes the transition ok<br />Ben: not the end of their relationship, end of phase of relationship. Star Wars metaphor…<br />Kyle: diction reflects the teenage desire to be stoic and emotionless, pine needles are little simple things, greater when combined, seems like the relationship transition is small but it is bigger than that <br />Tanner: passing of the rod – new step in relationship<br />Jessie: Pine needles symbolic – time – fall over time <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04169797322810494219noreply@blogger.com
