Homework # 3

**The author in this essay use many descriptive details. The descriptive details made the story much more interested and more better to understand. Even though sometime to much descriptive details just make it not fun to read, in this case it didn't. The author used it to make u understand it more because it was kind of confusing, that's what I think.
**In "The leats of these" the author used a lot of descriptive details. For example, when the author explained that the mailmen was the best mailman and he delivered in rain, snow, shine, or sleet and that he weared his mailman uniform, he hand each person his or her mail. The author explained every description of this character and made much more easier to understand the kind of person he was kind.The situation that he was going through.
**Also in " Family Roads Trips with My Three Dads" Emily Atkinson the author describe the dad as transforming bear that started to transformed after they gave him the ticket for $60. Then the bear fell silent after the ticket issuing and snapped off the tape player. The author use a lot of description so we would be able to get to know his personality and also to describe the way he reacts when he gets mad. However, he used a lot of it but it wasn't to the the extreme.
**In "coming of Age in Mississippi" the author Anne Moody used description as everything that they did. For example, when the author describe Memphis lying near the lunch counter with blood running out of corner of his mouth. Anne explained every moved that he made for him to tried to protect his face.etc... This is how the author used descriptive detail.
**Descriptive details were used in this three essays or storywere very helpfull.

Group Reminiscene

As I heard the deep voice of my dad saying " Wake up is time to go camping". As i heard those worlds I knew it was going to be the worse day for me because I hated camping, it was so borin and I hated to sit there just looking at the sky. There was no electricity, which means no tv, computer, and I also missed my soft bed, then sleeping in the hard floor. They say campin is suppoose to be fun and relax you, well I think it doesn't for me it doesn't.

I jumped out of bed, brushed my teeth, got dress and then took some clothes out of my closet and then put it in a bookbag. I was in such a hurry that I didn't even get time to have breakfast, so I just ran out and took with me a apple. As my dad was driving I was listenig to music, it was kind of boring because it was only my mom, dad and me. In a instant it got so dark cloudy and foggy, I was scared because we were not able to see the road, this could have lead my dad to accident, this also meant it was going to take a really long time to get to bear mountain. This just made the day much worser then what it was before.

Suddenly, I saw that my dad pulled over, and i though to my self, what now! He got out of the car running quickly to the back, by the look on his face it looked pretty bad. I looked out the back window, and i saw that our luggage had fallen from the car. I was so terrified at the moment because we were in the highway, so all of the cars were going extremely fast. I opened the door and ran out of the car as quiclky as i could . I had forgotten that it was rainning hard, but with the rain and everything I told my dad to hurry up and who cares about the luggage, is first our safety. I got back into the car with my dad and we left, and about a hour later we were in bear mountain. It wasn't really bad, I actually had fun in bear mountain.
