I was really excited to read the story, "A Christmas Memory" by Truman Capote. The characterization, figurative language such as simile and personification, and style of first person narration are all perfect in this story and really help me get prepared to read
To Kill a Mockingbird. I think memorable phrases from this story will resonate with the upcoming novel.
Also, it was great to hear everyone read out loud a little bit. I've been reading everyone's letters and feel like I'm getting to know each student through them. We've got a long exciting road ahead of us...it's going to be a great trip!

I love what you wrote! it was truly inspiring.
I thought that the Christmas memory was really wierd because of the old lady but other than that it was ok.
i usually prefer non-fiction however your blog excites me about reading To Kill a Mocking Bird.
The old lady was out of it, but I enjoyed it alot.
