Love That Dog Responses

1.Jack at the Beginning of the book didn't want to write poetry because he thought only girls write poetry.

2.The Blue Car might be important to Jack because maybe it's his car or it's his way to express poetry.

3. What caused Mrs. Stretchberry to get Jack to write more poems was when she read the poem about his dog she wanted to know more about the dog or she wanted Jack to express his feelings about his dog.

//__**So Much Depends Upon Poem**__// So much depends upon my tooth brush cascaded with tooth paste inside the white drawer 4.Jack says he doesn't want to write about a pet. Mrs. Stretchberry insists on Jack writing a poem about his dog because she wants him to express his feelings and put it into poetry. 5. I think Jack borrows some ideas from other poets to get ideas and become a better poet. I think that he borrows ideas to develop his own style of poetry. Jack writes a "So Much Depends Upon" poem. Also, he borrowed the idea of the Pasture poem. 6. Jack wants his early poems to be anonymous because if his poems aren't good then people will make fun of him. He thinks his classmates will think he is weird or not good at poetry. I don't have a hard time sharing my work because I feel like I have confidence by a crowd. 7. Jack said that Mr. Frost and the wheelbarrow poet were beginning to make pictures with their words in their writing. Jack is making pictures with words in his poetry a little bit too. His dog is an example. The blue car is also an a example. Also, putting Robert Frost in his poetry is another example. 8. The Author's Purpose is to entertain. The Author's Audience for this book is anyone who likes poetry. This story is being told from Jack's Point of view. I think the Author chose this point of view and format for this story because it fits the story perfectly. 9.Jack describes his street as a street that is not in the middle of the city. It isn't loud. It has quiet sounds most of the time. His street is very thin. There is not much traffic on his street. The words he used to describe his street were quiet, thin, whisp, meow, and swish. //__**My** **Street**__// My street is a small street. It isn't wide or have a bunch of houses on it. It's always very quiet. All I can hear is the chirp of the birds or the whoosh of the wind. My street is perfect just the way it is. 11. Jack's feelings are changing about poetry because he is actually trying and wanting to write more poetry. I know because from the way he wrote the yellow dog poem. It looked like he actually wanted to be writing. He seems to be writing more intently on all his poems. 13. Jack liked the poem by Walter Dean Meyers for two reasons: 1. His Dad every morning says "Hey there, Son" just like in the poem. 2. Also, when Jack had his dog he would say to his dog to call him "Hey there, Sky". 14. **//__Love That Family__//** **__By Will Schlosser__** Love That Family. Like a Basketball loves to be dribbled. I said I love that Family. Like a Basketball loves to be dribbled. Love to be with my Family. 15. There is more information on the blue car and how it killed Sky.Some other words or phrases he used in his poem were Sky was wag wag wagging and slob slob slobbering like in the dog concrete poem. Also, here are some phrases Jack's Dad called out "Hey there, Son" like in Mr. Walter Dean Meyers Poem.
