It was so great to have class again!  For homework, please read chapters 15-19 (p. 82-109) of Summer of the Swans.

 

Then, answer the following questions in writing:

1. What do we know about Sara’s father, and his relationship with his family?

2. Who is Joe Melby and what does Sara think about him at first?

3. What does Sara learn about Joe, and how does she behave?

 

Also, please translate the paragraph at the bottom of p.90 beginning with “I just know. There’s something about me that makes me understand Charlie” into Chinese. After you've changed it into Chinese, translate your work back into English using your own words. 

 

Just as we did this week, please come prepared with your favorite quotes/parts from chapters 15-19 for next class.

 

Have fun!

Nicole's homework:

1. What do we know about Sara’s father, and his relationship with his family?

Sara's father lived with Wanda and Sara before, but since Charlie was born, and Sara's mother was dead, he move to Ohio. There were no massage from Sara's father.

2. Who is Joe Melby and what does Sara think about him at first?

Joe Melby is a person that Sara didn't want to see in particular day, and she didn't know him too. Sarasometimes hated him so much the sight of him made her sick.

3. What does Sara learn about Joe, and how does she behave?

Sara thinks Joe steal Charlie's watch. But actually he didn't. Sara misunderstand him. So Sara learn that: maybe sometimes one people did very bad, that doesn't mean he was bad everytime. So when there is a thing happened to you, even you didn't see that he did it, but your intuition tells you that he did it. So never says a conclution with no evidence.

Berry’s homework:
1.Sarah 's impression of his father is very vague, like a stranger, sometimes she would miss her father very much, can't control myself. Her father is a very sunshine man before Sara's mother has died and Charlie has gotten sick. their family is very happy, I think Sarah is very miss the life before, she missed in the past, her heart is very painful.
2.Joe Melby is a boy who let Sarah think he stole the Charlie's watch, she thinks while Charlie get the candies they had stolen his watch, she began to think he is a liar, so she did a fsign posted on his back, also rejected his request--finding Charlie.
3.I think she saw the passion and tolerance of Joe.when she didn't know how to open the mouth Joe said a small story, he told her he is willing to stay and helpSara to look for Charlie, and he also provides a lot of help. Sarah said sorry to him by his help,and showed a friendly before him, and her true - sad, fragile
