Hello Seventh Period!

For your ORB written assignment, I am requiring you to make three postings about your ORB to this blog. You must choose three different options from the "blogging options" handout (on First Class). I am looking for superb commentary, which should make obvious why your ORB "educates your conscience."

Please, adhere to the expectations explained on the rubric (also on First Class).

Happy blogging!

Explore Feelings

There was one scene that I found especially touching. In this scene Danny, Will, Ty, and Zach steal a camp canoe to see Danny's best [girl]friend. Tess manages to talk Danny through the hard time he's going through, making him want to stay at camp. "I'm glad your here,' he said. 'I also know that,' Tess said. 'Now tell me some stuff I don't know.'" (136). It showed how much Danny relies on his friends as well as showing how much he values his relationship with Tess and her advice. It foreshadows her coming to camp to take pictures, where Danny turns into the jealous teenager when he sees her talking to the kid at camp he hates most. The same guy who later breaks her favorite camera, Lamar. the scene is significant because it is when Danny changes his mind about quitting camp. Yes, it really puts the image of a boy getting his mind changed by his best [girl]friend, and the amount a boy will do for a girl.
