95 - The Birthing Center:
I thought that the little captions at the bottom, that added more to the events at the top, were truly creative to add to the book and to the poems. I thought that they truly added not just more information, but they also added more thoughts from the character at that time, that give each poem more feeling.
105 - Lines
I love how deep Annie gets into things and how many little things she notices in life. Such as, in art class, she finally notices what her teacher meant by what her lines looked like by examining each picture. I loved how she explained how her lines popped out out of everyone else's pictures. I also noticed how deep Annie got into the apple project and how much deeper she wanted to go in it, past just drawing the apple. She was saying how upset she would be when the project was over and how she didn't want to stop learning more and more about apples.
106-108 - Forbidden Words
This section was when the teacher brought to the kids attention how dry, dull, and meaningless the words they used were. This reminded my so much of my Language Arts teacher when we were presenting our project. She placed a list of "Forbidden Words" on the back board such as "like, umm, very, alot, good, etc." just as the teacher did in the story. She even said the same things that explained how each word was meaningless, how we use them too much, and that we should find different and more meaningful words to use. However, I also noticed how the kids in the story learned something that i have learned before, that you never know how much you do something until someone brings it to your attention, such as the word choices. The kids, after the fact, were having trouble not using the "Forbidden Words" because of the bad habits of using them.
