Interesting

Interesting - Discuss something about the story that you find particularly interesting. It could be a character, an incident, something you are learning, or something you are feeling. This is Riley Greene from 1st period. Something that i find particularly interesting is the accent or dialouge used in the story. Instead of saying eat they say "et" and some of the things they say, we would not consider proper grammar.It shows how they talked during the time of the Civil War and were the characters come from.

Elly Weaver 3rd period- Why has Momma seen so many steamships blow up?? What was she doing that she witnessed this? Why did the steamships blow up? They may have stated it in the book, but I didn't write it down. I like what Riley said about the way the author wrote, but I hope it doesn't get too out of hand, (When the writing starts to become so consumed by the accent that you can't make out the words). But I do like the way it's written.

Kaylie Strouse 5th Period- I also think it's interesting the way they talk. You can tell that they have a southern accent. I like how they put "nekkid". At first I didn't know what they were trying to state. But I went back and then I finally got it. I also thought it was cool how they call Illinois, Egypt. Does anyone know why?

Riley Greene 1st- What chapter are they talking about steamships in? I don't think i quite know what Elly is talking about. Maybe they call Illinois, Egypt because it is just the way there accent comes across. I would have to go back and see were they see that.

Kaylie Strouse 5th Period- Yeah I don't remember reading anything about steamships either.

Riley 1st(:- In chapter 8 when Delphine, Calinda,Tilly, Cass, Noah, and momma were at the Showboat they danced a Waltz and i found this part to be very interesting because everybody was up on the stage dancing and having a good time. Also when the man came up to Calinda and said "Lets dance the Calinda", it was so neat how the dance was moving and full of emotion. What i would like to know those is what exactly the dance would look like and how it ever came to be.

Elly Weaver 3rd- Calinda finally said something in the beginning of the section we were reading! I believe it was when Delphine and Tilly went into town she said, " Me, I stay at 'ome." To be honest, I was glad she spoke, but I found it kind of rude that she said that. She could've been a little nicer and said something like, "Thanks, but I'd rather stay here." Or something like that.

Kaylie 5th :)- what I found interesting was that Calinda's real name is CoinCoin.

Elly 3rd- What does it mean that Delphine was meant for men?? Why does her veil hang with swag? Why is Noah sending letters from Jacksonville? I though he was part of the 31st Illinois infantry regiment? Why don't Delphine and Calinda Marry??
