As the Literary Luminary, it is your job to post parts of the story to your group in order to help your members remember some interesting, powerful, puzzling, or important sections of the text. You decide which passages or paragraphs are worth posting. Write the page numbers and the paragraph numbers down and why you chose the passage. You must choose a minimum of two passages.

Evan (Gold) And there was a shiny gold minivan in the driveway when they got home and was being washed buy Fish. What I thought was funny was fish could just make it rain for his power.

I would like to know what page it's on, Evan. (Kaitlyn) Your post doesn't make much sense. What do you mean "for his power"? (Aidan)

In the book "Savvy" I was suprised that fish punched will in the face in the paragraph "fish seemed upset and not bothering to find out what happend closed in on Will and spun him around and punched him". Then the paragraph I thought was discriptive was "windows closest to fish began to fractor, spreading splinter cracks outward like spider webs". The reason I think its descriptive is because it tells every little thing that happens to the window will its cracking. (Bradley)

I like your connections they are really good. I thought the window part was really descriptive too while I was reading it. (Aidan)

I like what you posted, but you're purple. (Kaitlyn)

On page 168 in Savvy it says, "A barrel-chested man in a hooded sweatshirt and green spandex shorts scowled at us from teh door way. He had a gold chain around his neck and a large gold-nugget ring on each hand. I thought this passage was very descriptive because it shows a very good picture of Ozzie the store manager. The passage on page 176 in the middle of the second paragraph was surprising. It says that Lester went and took another pie from the resteraunt which is stealing and totally doesn't fit his character. A passage I thought was funny was on page 127 was when Momma had perfectly missed the ring toss after Poppa said if she made it he would marry her. (Aidan)

I also liked the part when Momma missed the ring on purpose. (Daniel)

I agree with dan i liked it to(Bradley)

At the end of page 250, the passage says: "All of us kids tensed like watch springs, coiling down into our seats, keepin low as Lester pulled the bus to the side of the highway with the rest of the sunday traffic." I thought that was pretty discriptive since it says "tensed like watch springs" and "coiling down into our seats". Another passage I thought was discriptive was on page 268 it says. "We were back on the hightway, Lester sweating buckets and Lill's face drawn tight, bewildered and worried." To me that sentance was some-what discriptive, I had it all pictured in my mind: Lester sweating, Lill with a tight face, everyone worried and trembling with fear. (Manessa)

I like the way that you explain it(Bradley)

Week 6 Literary Luminary Post: On page 326 and 327 bottom into top paragraph it says, "It was impossible to believe that an entire room filled with special Beaumont know-how could do nothing to help our poppa. All I could do was listen uselessly. But listen I did. I listened until my ears rang with all the soft beeping and shushing and humming and buzzing of the machines that surrounded him. I listened until my head hurt and my eyes stung with all he tears I was too empty to cry." I chose this because it was very detailed and it explained very well what was happening at the time. On page 336 2nd paragrpah, it said, "But on the good days, the best days--- like that spring day on the porch with the smell of baking cakes drifting out to us through the window-- Poppa was just poppa, with no hair to cover up the sars from the accident, but as good and sweet as ever." I chose that passage because of the details and how it explained the way of how it used to be before poppa's accident. (Kaitlyn) The first passage you wrote I liked when I read it in the book and the second passage made me happy that their dad wasn't dead. (Aidan)
