This is an online journal to discuss and analyze literature. We also will develop arguments and interpretations, and support our ideas with evidence from the stories we read. We will address our comments to each other in letter form and compose letters of at least 250 words or more and spell them correctly.
Use three words from vocabulary lesson 17 to compare and contrast two characters. Be sure to include issues, conflicts, symbols, and/or themes the characters suggest.

1. The disparity between Edna being blind and Virgie seeing, did not affect the two women being best friends.
2. Before Taylor had seen Edna Poppy with a seeing stick, she never would have differentiated her from any seeing person.
3. The heterogeneous ways of Taylor being stable and Lou Ann's insecurity eventually led them to be the perfect roommates and the best of friends.
1. Lou Ann's grandmother and her neighbor Ms. Parsons are very analogous because they are both sometimes negative and come off looking mean but Lou Ann knows that both of them really have a good heart deep down.
2. The disparity between Taylor and Esperanza is extremely great. Taylor has hardly ever had any GREAT sadness or something taken from her when Esperanza was kicked out of her own country and her little girl was taken from her.
3. The nuance in Taylor throughout the book is made greater and greater as Taylor begins to change a little more everyday.
