Week 4: Reflection

Analyze the impact of the authors’ writing choices and how they affected your reading of his story. Shane’s story is not told in a chronological way. How did this sporadic storytelling affect the way you read the book? How did the book “end” and how did this ending affect your opinion of the book? Last, what did you learn (from the book) about life, or about yourself? Did reading the book teach you anything about being different or living through hardships? Reflect.

Teachers: Provide resources for students to better understand the art of storytelling. Also, provide any additional information regarding structure of a story and how structure can influence a readers reading of a story.
