In Ralph Fletcher's Marsh field Dreams:When I Was A Kid, we read five stories about him being a kid. some were emotional and others were interesting.Our English teacher Mrs.Patalano read the first three stories with us and helped us fill out the organizer.
The first story we read was "My First Pen." It told about his dad giving him his first pen. At first he thought it was just a cheap BIC but then he started writing really good stories with it. My favorite part about the Story was his closing sentence.
The next story was "Bobby." In this story he tells how Bobby was the fifth baby and he never complained.I like how Ralph Fletcher used forshadoeing by saying that Bobby would never know what was going to happen.Bobby lived a normal life until he was killed in a car accident in his last year of high school.
In the next story "Baseball" he tells how he and his brother join a baseball team. He said it bored the heck out of his brother and he just looked up at the sky or dug in the grass for bugs to pass time. I liked the way he still played even though his allergies would act up really badly. He also said he loved watching the Red Sox play on television and that he could just imagine the game withe the wet cloth on his eyes.
In "Marsh field" he said he liked going through the woods. I like what he said when his shoe got stuck in the mud. If one of my shoes got stuck in mud and i was never going to get it back I would throw the other one too, because there's no point of having one shoe and not the other. I think it's cool that he finds stuff there because the stuff he said he found is cool.
In the last story called "Last Kiss" he talks about every night when his mom and dad both give him a kiss but then his dad stops giving him kisses and he he gets sad.I liked how he remembered talking to his dad about the jellyfish and how they drift away from each other then said he was drifting away from his dad like jellyfish
