12/2/10 comprehenson quiestions 5. Peg learned to play the accordion so she she could exercise the muscles in her arm. 6. because they gave sister Kenny a chance to test her methoids on polio patents 11.Peg had to learn how to walk again because she just got out of a wheel chair and came out of paralyiss 17. The girls dont know the guy that plays Joseph in the pagent because he was in the mens wardand they never ventured there. 20.because she was a women and her traetmentswere not tried.

11/23/10 Peg gets a vist from her parents and is annoyed be her roomates Peg realized that her roomate never get any vist them so when Pegs parents came they wanted to be part of the action. In the story Pegs roomates hardly if ever get any visters so this is a new epereance for her roomates.I can see why Peg gets annyoned by her roomates listening in on her conversation with her parents because those are her parents not their parents, Alice was not that nce to Peg and did not talk to her parents.

This saying means that Peg realized that her parents where one of the only visters that her roomates ever got so it would be nice to share them with her roomates.Her roomates have really never get any visters and that mat have made her roomates feel like no one ever cared about them.What i think made Peg show compassion for her roomates wa salice because her parents did not want her and never visted her.

11/10/10 What reason did Peg have to tell on a nurse.

The reasons that Peg had to tell her parents about the nurse that would not flip her over in the book Small Steps by Peg Kehret. The nurse should have fliped her over because she is very helpless, she is paralyzed. Peg's side was hurting her your in alot of pain so the least amount of pain you can have is the best deal when your in pain all day.Then you have to see it in the nurses piont of veiw such as there is a lot of polio patients so they might all want to be turned over. But the nurse still could have fliped Peg over by the time they were done the argument.

I belive that Peg hade the right to tell her parents because the nurse is suppost to make her feel better 'Not' engnore her. Pluse her parents want the best best for Peg and want her out of there as quickly as possible. Since Peg has polio she should be treated llike roalty I mean she could Die any minute. After what shes been through she needs to get the best traeatment. Any way she is a kid and she does not have a high pain tollarence like an adult.

Expository essay Christian and Enrique

In a culture where we are bombarded with other people trying to define us, how do we make decisions for ourselves? In a culture where we are bombarded with other people trying to define us, we make our own decisions by my personality and by the kind of worker/ achiever I am. In the classroom Enrique and I are over achievers and hard workers but we do tend to occasionally fool around in class but we show our respect to the class and to the teacher. These traits allow us to make wise decisions about ourselves and our actions. In the book //Maniac Magee // by Jerry Spinelli maniac is ignorant to the Racism in the East and West Ends of the Town. Maniac is harassed for going on the East End which is the Black side and gets into a predicament with a young Black kid who name is ‘Mars Bars’ Thompson. Maniac becomes popular with some and infamous with others the reason why many others do not like maniac is because they West ender is racist against the East Enders, also no one on the East End is brave enough to go on the west end and vice versa. The negative influence from both sides does not change the opinion of Maniac. People have called me a nerd, Geek, dweeb, and freak but I agree that I am a nerd, Geek, and dweeb because they make up what I am because I have a higher level of intelligence. Some kids never agree and let it go to their head that they could never be as smart as me but I tell them brains mean nothing it’s how you use them that matters. What other people say to me does not change my own opinion about myself and it allows me to make a decision that will benefit me in best way.

11/2/10 Put yourself in Peg's place, Explian how you would feel ?

I dont know how I would feel in Peg's place with three types of polio, she can't move , has trouble breathing and and has a rare type of polio that dosent allow the victim to speak and talk. I would be very scared obout having polio I could not speak or move I would have to stay in a iron lung, you can't see your parents , friends and you are cut off from civilization. The only people you would see would be the doctors or nurses I mean talk about being lonely. I would be very nervious about having three types of polio, one type is bad but three types thats a nightmare certain things you might think about like how long am I going to live or when will I get out or will I ever get out ! After a while I would go insane just because of the condition I'am under.
