Rich Text Format and Ugly Girl Assignment
Name: Ruth Fajardo

Book One: Big Mouth and Ugly Girl
Assignment #3 Reading Assignment Part 1
Reading Questions: Chapters 1-4
5 questions

Throughout all these reading response questions, I am calling on you to avoid simple answers and use the text as support for your observations. All responses will require at least a paragraph or two...

To complete this assignment, begin typing directly into this page. Save your work to disk or desktop folder frequently. Back up your work, preferably on a USB flash drive. Keep copies.

Remember to use blue font (if possible) to answer questions. Spell and grammar check your work…this is an English class and presentation counts! Make sure to save all files as “rich text format” (.rtf)

If you do not have Microsoft Word at home, there is a free version found here: http://www.openoffice.org/ ... it works very well -- however, no matter what word processing package you use, make sure to save your documents as "rich text format” – (.rtf) NOT .wps or similar...

Questions 1-2 deal with Chapter One

1) What did Matt Donaghy think the police wanted with him at first?
In other words, what were his initial reactions/responses? Do you think his initial reaction/response was logical? Why or why not? (Short paragraph)

2) As described in these first few pages, what was Matt’s reputation in his school – Rocky River High School? How does the author describe Matt? How do you think he feels about himself? (Speculate and support) (Short paragraph)

Question three is from Chapters 2 and 3:

3) Sometimes, it seems as if we are looking through the eyes of Ursula Riggs, and other times it appears we are looking through "Ugly Girl’s” eyes.

Using quotes and information from the chapter, how does Ursula Riggs describe her “other personality” (alter ego) - “Ugly Girl”?

Physical description:

Emotional/mental description:

(A good answer would have at least two paragraphs)

How is “Ursula”

    An example of this would be when she views a totems and notices the similarities between her and that of the totem.She refers to it as a “bony adolescent girl who was my sister self”95 , this depicts the negative perception she has of herself which is projected onto one of the totems. She refers to it as “an ugly thing!”16 that kept taunting her, the flat monkeyish face that bore just a faint, caricatured resemblance to (her) own face”16. The fact that she’s referring to the totem as ugly then stating how it bears some resemblance to her conveys how she perceives herself in the most lowest and demeaning kind of way.She doesn’t see herself as beautiful or “sexy and seductive”20 but instead she loathes her general overall image. An example of this would be when she states how she “hated her thin body set beside Dominique’s voluptuous body”, or “her quiet manner set beside Marisa’s exhibitionism”79.The fact that she’s comparing herself to the other girls reflects the inadequacy she feels in regards to her own self image. She even states how she’s “not female in the way Dorcas is” 16and projects these feelings when she describes the totems as “anti feminine”16 . She perceives herself in one of the totems once more when she…
