As the Literary Luminary, it is your job to post parts of the story to your group in order to help your members remember some interesting, powerful, puzzling, or important sections of the text. You decide which passages or paragraphs are worth posting. Write the page numbers and the paragraph numbers down and why you chose the passage. You must choose a minimum of two passages.

=__**WEEK ONEuser:Sparklyrainbowunicorns**__= Passage One: * Page 11, Paragraph 4. "In the last few weeks, Jimmy has become my best friend on Alcatraz, despite the fact that he stinks at baseball. If a baseball flew into Jimmy's glove he wouln't know what to do with it. he'd probably use it to brush his teeth. Maybe he'd plant it in the ground to grow a big old baseball tree. The kid has no idea." * I chose this paragraph because you can really understand what the author is trying to get across. Jimmy seriously STINKS at baseball. The author made that verrrrry clear to us, the readers. I think that that passage was funny, i think she did a good job of explaining how awful he is at base ball. Tom I think it shows that Moose does not like it when people are not really good at baseball. But the aurthor does tell how bad Jimmy is. Matt I think that that was funny because he does not know what to do with the ball user:Sparklyrainbowunicorns Mckayla Passage Two: *** Page 43, Paragraph 9. "Annie squints at me like i made a bad call. She winds up and pitches another. This one splits the plate in half and Theresa hits it, which seems practically impossinle given she's back to holding the bat cross-handed.It's a wild mis-hit that flies higgledy-piggledy to Jimmy, who watches it go by as if that's what he's supposed to do." * I chose this paragraph because it has awesome word choice. It was so descriptive, you could practically see the kids playing ball. GREAT word choice! If they did not add to many descriptive or if they did not change them to better ones I could understand it more. But other than that you are right you can see them playing baseball. Matt I agree with matt because if they did not add descriptive we would not know whats going on user:Sparklyrainbowunicorns Mckayla

Week 2 Page 56, Paragraph 5. "She averts her eyes when she says this, as if she has suddenly revealed too much and embarrassed us both. This is not how my mother usally behaves. She doesn't notice me except in relation to Natalie." * This paragraph has a lot of strong emotion and I pick it because of that. You can tell or feel that they are both nervous about being together again alone. Matt

Page 73, Paragraph 2-3. "My skin tingles as my mind replays his words. //Seems to me a man's got as much power as he can wrap his mind around.// He was talking about my dad. He thought my dad had the power to make sure he didn't have a cellmate. And that other bit about a person who keeps up his end of things? That was a message for me. He expects me to get get his wife flowers. No doubt about that." * Al Capone is a smart for buting what he wants in riddles. Al Capone knows that they will do what he wants. The reason why I pick these 2 paragraphs are Matt
