Reading Assignment: Chapters 13 and 14 180-215
Writing Assignment: As the novel Kira Kira unfolds, a picture of Mr Lyndon emerges. Although the author never directly says how she wants readers to see him, as either a good or bad person, she does offer details that create a particular image. Write a paragraph explaining what image you have of Mr. Lyndon and offer evidence from the book to support what you say.
For the introduction remember to introduce the book and author in some way before describing the image of Mr. Lyndon that emerges from the book's pages. Remember, too, to use events or quotes from the book to prove your point. If you are going to say that he seems to be a kind and generous man--Good luck on that one--you would need to mention places in the book where he shows his generosity and kindness.
The introduction is a good place to practice using the appositive--a word or phrase restating the previous noun-- which should be enclosed in commas, for instance: Mr, Lyndon, the richest man in town,....Mr Lyndon, the most powerful man in town,.... Mr. Lyndon, the oldest man in town,....Mr. Lyndon, the owner of the hatchery,....
