-respond to Kit's Wilderness using the following three prompts:
1. I Read...
2. I Think...
3. Therefore...
-you may write about a character; a particular relationship between characters; a particular scene; or an event that has happened so far in the story.
EXAMPLE:
*note- this is an example of what you are supposted to do. Please do not copy this example; it is only a guideline.
I Read... When I was reading chapter seven, I found out that Kit's Grandpa strongly believes in spirits and ghosts. His Grandpa dreams that he is chasing "Silky", who is a little ghost or spirit that Kit's Grandpa claims was haunting the pit mines where he worked years ago. Kit's Grandpa is eager to talk to Kit about Silky, and share a few stories about how Silky would cause trouble for the miners.
I Think... I think that Kit's Grandpa believes in ghosts because he is not ready to let go of his memories of his days working in the mines. I think that he wants to believe in ghosts because he feels sorry for all of the people who were not able to escape or receive a proper burial after the accident in the mines. I think that Kit's Grandpa is eager to share these stories with Kit because he hopes that Kit will keep his stories and memories alive by continuing to share them once he is gone.
Therefore... Kit's Grandpa is a character who cannot necessarily be trusted. If Kit's Grandpa tells another story in the novel, I will be cautious, and I will not necessarily believe him because I think that he is clinging to his emotions of his past life working in the mines.
