Love That Dog Responses:

1. I think Jack doesn't want to write poetry because he thinks it's just for girls.

My Poem: The Soccer Ball By: Kayla Smith so much depends upon my soccer ball yucky with mud on a soccer field 2. I think the blue car was important to Jack because he wants to write like William Carlos Willams. 3. Miss Strechberry promises to jack that she will not read his poems out loud so that's how she gets him to more poetry. She was interested in his first poem because he put a lot of thought it took after William Carlos Williams. 4. jack responds surprised because he doesn't even have a pet anymore. He used to and he doesn't remember. 5. I think Jack borrows words from other poets' because he just doesn't liike poetry and doesn't feel like coming up with his own. 6. He wants them to be anonymous because he doesn't like them. He expects them to laugh and make fun of him. I do always because i'm afraid of what people will think of me and my work. 7. He said that the wheelbarrow guy maybe he was just making a picture with words and someone else. He said the same thing about Mr. Frost was just making pictures with words about the snowy woods and the pasture. I think Jack might be doing that because he likes the ideas and that he got a dog to write about.

8. I think the authors purpose is to persuade the audience to give thing a chance. Like poetry. I think that the story is in jack's point of view. I think that it is because he's the main character and has the most trouble writing poetry.

9. Jack uses to describe his street sounds like whisp, meow, and swish. __My Street Neighborhood__ __By: Kayla Smith__ Loud and Fun Whisking air Crashing cars Yelling voices Dancing people Dogs barking Cats running 11. Jack's feelings are changing because he's letting his teacher put his name on his work. 13. He liked the poem because of two reasons. One is a what he said in the book: " My dad calls me in the morning just like that ' Hey there, son!" Another reason is another quote from the book: " When I had my yellow dog I loved that dog and I would call him like this ' Hey there Sky!" 15. This poem builds on the Blue car poem because it mentions why the blue car did what it did and what it means to jack. I think Jack refuses his own words because he doesn't want to put his own thinking in it because he is shy. I think that the line when he writes " Sky! Sky!" from the Love That Boy poem by Walter Dean Myers.
