For Homework: Please read p. 81-109.

 

Then, post responses on the forum to the following questions:

  1. What more do we learn about Sara’s father, and his relationship with his family?
  2. Who is Joe Melby?
  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. You do not need to post your translation on the forum, but instead be prepared to translate your work back into English during next class. We will see how natural your translation sounds.

 

Don’t forget to be prepared with a favorite quote /part from each chapter for next class.

1.Sara's father is not in her family now and he is away form his children. 

 

2. Joe Melby is Charlie's friend and Sara thinks that is him who had stolen Charlie's watch but Mary doesn't agree. 

 

 

3.Sara is really surprised because Mary tells her Joe Melby isn't the one who had stolen her brother's watch.And it is true.  Sara learned Joe is a good person and she tries to be nice to him. 

1、Her father maybe got divorce with her mother. Any way, her father didn’t take care of his children. He was to busy on his work.

2、Joe Melby is a boy in the town. Once Sara think he stole Charlie’s watch.

3、First she think Joe was a fink, a thief. But then Mary told her that it was not Joe who stole her brother’s watch, he was trying to help. And when Joe knows that Charlie was missing, he helped Sara to find Charlie. Sara now understand that Joe was innocent. She is now starting to trust him. And we could see that he is a kind,tolerant and helpful person. He was not angry with Sara because she misunderstand him.

1.Sara's father abandoned the whole family without any reason which is aforementioned. He is a worker in mine, and he hardly communicates with his family.

2.Joe Melby is a good boy in Sara’s neighborhood who is thought to be a thief in Sara’s mind. Virtually, he did not steal Charlie’s watch, oppositely he found the watch and gave it to Charlie. When he knew Charlie was missing, he was willing to help to search him.

 

3.At first, she thought he stole Charlie’s watch, so she was pretty uncomfortable with him. She even did not allow him to help. After Mary telling the truth and Joe helping her to find Charlie, she was aware of that it was wrong to revenge on the wrong person who refers to Joe. Soon she apologized and forgot the unhappy incident.

1. Sara's dad leaves their family after Sara's mon died and then he had a new family with a woman. Before Sara's mon's dead, Sara's dad was a happy man lived with them. However, now he was a gray sober man came home on occasional weekends and talked less.

 

2. Joe Melby was Sara's schoolmate. He lived in town too. 

 

3. Sara meaned him before because she thought that he stole Charlie's watch and she had put a little sign "FINK" on his back before. But after Mary told Sara the truth, Sara learned that she was wrong and showed her sorry to Joe. She regarded Joe as a kind person after he helped her find Charlie.  

 

I'm sorry for sending my homework too late.
