Change and Dr. George Jenkins
Summer reading packet: Exiting 7th grade 1) Characters- C. Trophy Tribute= 20 points If I were giving a trophy to character in the book “We Beat the Street”, it would be given to Dr. George Jenkins. I would give a trophy to Dr. George Jenkins because he discovered what he wanted to do with his life in the future from a young age. His dream job was to be a Dentist. He was so interested in finding out what a dentist did and how to be one. The metal plate base on the trophy would say “In honor of Dr. George Jenkins for pursuing his dreams and knowing what his dream was from the start! 2) Settings- F. Important scenes=40 points My Favorite character from the book “We Beat the Streets” is Dr. Rameck Hunt. Dr. Rameck Hunt is my favorite character in this book because of his actions and feelings in some settings. Most of the settings impacted his friends a lot. Those settings are Ramecks’s Catholic School, Ramecks’s house, and on Arlington Ave. All three of these settings created problems, the only one who created problems but also a friendship with good influential friends is on Arlington Ave. Ramecks’s Catholic School impacted Rameck by his parents making the decision of putting him back in public school. Ramecks’s house impacted Rameck by giving his mom the money that his grandmother gave him to become an actor but he gave it to his mom who has a drug addiction. Rameck thought she was going to us it to pay for their house bills. But he was wrong. Arlington Ave had an impact on Rameck by teaching him that fighting doesn’t solve anything and the friends he met the next day that encouraged each other to do good in school and to go for their dreams are Dr. Sampson Davis and Dr. George Jenkins. 3) Story structure-P. Changing Chapter titles=10 points There are 4 Different chapters that I’d like to change the titles. One is chapter 5 which I’m changing from “how much do you need?” to “The wrong decision”. I’m naming it “the wrong

    Every story, every novel and, in fact, every great literary work, shares one thing in common: a setting. These vivid compositions are exquisitely weaved around a place, time and social circumstance. The element of setting is used to create a specific atmosphere, and thus, helping to establish a desired mood. It provides valuable insight into the fundamental background of any storyline. In addition, the setting acts as a profound influence on plot progression and character development by compelling actions, internal and external conflicts, as well as the themes of a novel. Mary Lawson’s Crow Lake, a moving story of family, love and tragedy, is no exception. Lawson effectively develops the themes of isolation, familial bonds and educational ambitions through brilliant usage of the settings: Crow Lake, the ponds, and the university, respectively.…

    A setting about the impact of the setting is, “in the city that the four men live is not an ideal place you would not want to live in.” There are a few reasons why this setting affects the lives of the four men. My first reason is the in that area the en live in call it a “lockup” in New York which does not sound very pleasant. In that city, there is a lot of crime and violence, which most people do not want. For instance, there is a man murdered and robbed for money at his own convenient store. In addition, Steve (the protagonist) is in detention center willing to take his life so he would spend a day in jail. I do not think it would not happen in any other setting but the likely hood of it being in a different setting there would be a different plot. Such as if, the setting was in a wealthy neighborhood. There is a less of a chance not of crime and violence in that setting. An example to support this says, “The best time is to cry at night, when the lights are out and someone is getting beaten up screaming for help.”…
