BOOK AND AUTHOR:"THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH" BY NORTON JUSTER
Hello dear readers! This time, instead of being the discussion director like last time, this time I was the connector. My connection was a little bit weird, but I think that people could understand my logic, which was not that easy to detect. Here is my paragraph, word-by-word, and after that I will include comments that my peers gave me:
"I have a connection regarding chapter 6, or "Faintly Macabre's story". It is about Rhyme and Reason. The two appear to be different than one another, but they serve one main reason, and that is to help other people. This reminded me of a chapter in history that lasted for a very long 46 years, the Cold War. Two sides, the eastern and the western powers were at war, but they never directly showed it, like rhyme and reason, except that they were not directly at war. Since the war lasted for 46 years, a long time, this reminds me of the time of the two sisters service, because they served the world for a very long time. But the two sides helped their own people, so that is a difference, because the sisters helped everybody together. Have you ever asked yourself what the point of a nation is? Well, it is to help people live a normal life, like the two sisters helped many other people resolve conflicts, to help them get a more normal life. After the two sisters went away, all was gone, and the world was not such a nice place to be. After the war ended, a new world order appeared, which for many shattered the globe, and for many it improved the world. In all, the two sisters remind me of two different things, solving and doing one main things, life."
Yes, I think i know what you are thinking about.... This is a very odd connection, but if we "dig" deeper into my logic, and if you have read the book, there is some sort of link between the two, which is the whole point of being the "Connector". In my group on the other hand, I was mostly criticized, here is how it turned out:
All 3 of my peers were bored, with no doubt at all. Yes, I was in a way giving a history lesson, but why is it that bad? Well, at least I remember Kai saying that my text was interesting in a way, but nothing more on the positive side, only to the negative. Here is how I think my three other peers fared:
1. Robert Duff. He was the discussion director. His questions were very brilliant, and seemingly no one in our group could answer 3/5 questions he gave, which means that he really put in a lot of thought process into his work. But, he did not include very detailed answers on his side, so that is the only thing he could, or next time should improve.
2. Shai-Lee Shay. She was the word enricher. Just at first glance, you could see that her work was of high quality. Her definitions appeared to be full, and detailed definitions, and here word choice was wide, and she chose many amazing words. Congratulations!
3. Kai Fritz. She was the illustrator. Speaking about time and effort! She had an amazing picture, of little Milo and Tock, with a man on the island of Conclusions. She made a very detailed image, and added a very good background effect. As evidence of her hard work, she even made tock smaller, because she thought it would be un-realistic for him to be that large. The only thing that she should improve, is that she took the image directly from the book, but let's not forget that even copying an image, is a very hard job to do!
This times winner is Shai-Lee! Good job! See you next time!NL
