This is an example of the fable The lion and the mouse and how to use it in the classroom. Going back to #1 to answer the questions about who, what, where, when, and why.

Is he describing his work in a way that he incorporates history or is it that he is bettering the lives of children through his work?

She was stealing his time not with nothing in return.

She will always be there because she can't stop

She can't face what shes done so she will never get better.

She took the most important thing in his wallet that could mean the world to him. No one cares about her like that so she beileves if she takes this slip of paper that someone wrote for Alex she will feel like someone cares about her.

When she saw this did it strike her in that it was motivation to leave her wallet alone.

why did he want to take a bath?

She can't put her emotions into words for anyone.

comparing Sasha to a beaver, metaphor.

Makes excuses for her actions so they become acceptable in her head.

Sasha doesnt live in the real world she just lives from one high to another.

Has she never returned something she stole or its just to big of a desicion for her.

So she would feel like this only if she got caught, death is a little dramatic.

Sasha is very mean.

We learn a little something from the past.

Similie

Did she really take this serious?

She gets a high from steaing from people, maybe its because it makes her feel young again.

Not a trustworthy person, she lies before she even meets you.

We get her age

Her date that night.

The wallet stealing was the only excitment that day.

He may not need to make eye contact with his clients but no matter what he is listening.

Characterzation of Coz through Sasha

This shows alot about Sasha, she feels she has to prove to the world that she is better/ tough enough.

She can't accept the facts there's something wrong with her or she doesn't want to.

What is the signicants to stelaing these exact things?

She was relfecting on a difficult time in her life to a therapist.

This woman had money and Sasha doesn't like that this seems like this is that womans daily life to have this much money. Tender? because the women is still gentle and left her purse, hasnt been anywhere bad?

Vindictive

People will take anything glued down so she does not trust anyone but this lady is trusting her. She finds that very werid.

1st person POV? Did it change?

3rd person POV?

The woman was naive enough to leave her purse in a public bathroom and truted the other women in there. However Sasha seems to think she was provoked by this. Doe sshe have a past of stealing?

This is a Flashback

3rd ominiscient

When the tower fell his pride fell with it?

Does this symbolize something from the bible? Or it really just means six days of work?

All these words make me think of diction but I don't know how to put it into words.

He hide behind his work but he thought his work was the best?

Not as perfect as the tower was?

You can not see what he is doing until it is done.

Simile

What is meant by this? That you could take shelter in it and become invisible or that the tower is tall amoung the trees so it is invisible.

You could tell this man loved what he did, loved building this tower, and every stone meant something to him. No tmany people take this much effort to make somthing to beautiful. Confusing how it seems so graceful as they are building it but back in the beginning there seemed to be nothing nice about the tower. Possibly since the tower is still new it is like his baby as in innocent and pure only touched by the builders hands and nothing harmful yet.

At the beginning of a new day? When the sun rose?

The bell tower will always be this way, no change and will always be seen as a dark place.

A very dark and mysterious way to begin a description.

He is very interested in this when someone his age wouldtake it as makiing fun of the kid for talking like that. Anders is somewhat like a kid in a toy store when they see a new toy and wants to know more about it.

This to me refrences the title and is a kind of wrap up for the story.

He says this with an accent and Anders takes notice and it highly interested in it.

He could have a accent.

The things he did not remember were things that are everyday or things everyone runs into in life. This is like a flashback of your life, and all he remember was something from his childhood but nothing great that happened during his life.

He laughed because it was a word out of the ordinary for Anders since he is a book critic. Which is his downn fall in the end.

The person who said this is uneducated because he is making assumption and an unnessary comment.

He is extremely sarcastic.You will not get into heaven because they took a break.

I see this as implying humans purposely making each upset.

He is negative to begin with so anything from this point will contuine to have a negative outlook just because Anders was never happy.

The children have eaten her alive and have taken her all from her. Along with the man who is no help.

The speaker is speaking from an outsiders point of view instead of as a parents point of view from the beginnig of the poem when the children were whinning and bickering.

Theres a rhyme scheme happening in this poem of ABBA in the different stanzas. However when you get down to the last stanza it changes to ABCABC.

When thinking of the denotation and connotation of the word park it could have many meanings. The denotation of park is a place to go and sit on a bench, meet with friends, or play on the jungle gyms. the connotation of park is innocences, peaceful, people watching, and mothers with their children. I feel going into this poem already that theres going to be some aspects of what you see at a park/ what goes on there through the authors eyes.

The rhyme scheme in this poem is: ABBA/ABBA/CDCDEE ABBA/ABBA/CDEECD I am unsure why the last stanza was set up like this.

This poem's rhyme scheme goes: ABAB/ABAB/ABAB/CC (I'm not sure if i'm using the correct letters but every other line rhymes until the last two lines)

This is a very abrupt way to say this. Die catches my eye because you don't just say out of no where before i forget or i die. This just doesn't make sense.

This sounds childish but when I first read this I thought of the Dr. Suess book oh the places you will go. It makes me think of "oh what lips my lips have kissed" or "Oh what places my lips have been". This sentence highlights the friends, family, and significant others this person has kissed.

The past relationships and people that have unfinished business or an unfinished relationship with this person.

Tone change? She begins to talk about herself and women instead of men.

A Mexican holiday to honor their deceased loved ones.

Shy or modest.

Trying to keep up with his daughter as she grew up and changed as she got older. He wanted her to need him and to be there for her if she fell. This is an extremely loving father not ready to let his daughter fully go.

This could be the authors last memory of his "little girl" which is why he holds it so near and dear to his heart.

I believe the author did not use any punctation until the end of the poem for an important reason. It seemed as though he just continued to ramble on as though he couldn't catch his break fast enough. by the time he did his daughter was gone and grown up.

I saw this poem to have divided sections even though only one period was used. I used the connotations of these words to look at the deeper meaning of this poem. I saw eight as elementary school, learning all these new things. I saw " smaller, more breakable" as middle school were the kids aren't as nice and your feelings come out. And finally I saw " pumping for your life, screaming with laughter" to be high school. "Hair flapping behind you" as though waving goodbye on their way to college. The father waving goodbye with his handkerchief.

I'm not sure why however I don't see how this title fits this poem. I don't believe I see the under lying meaning. Her daughter grows up and she doesn't see it happening. Is This the irony?

To me this is a mother's instincts kicking in. She is only making herself better for her children with is extremely admirable. This says a lot about her character as a person where she is stuck between not being good enough at spanish but not being good enough at English.

When first reading the title of the poem it gives you the warm feeling of being in your bed as a young child. However it later goes on to change the entire meaning of the word into some sort of terrifying noise. I found this to be extremely different from any poem I have read. Would this title be contradictory of itself or giving a new definition of lullaby?

I appreciated that the writer included this part because this man sees that after every second he is aging. When reading this part out loud it will really highlight how involved time is in our daily life, hearing every second that has passed by.

This is an extremely quick transition between childhood and adulthood. This could possible relate to how quickly time goes by in life.

Using these words to describe this man can be very eye opening. They were chosen for a reason, maybe to show what other people think of him, or maybe this is how he thinks of himself when he looks in a mirror.
