Old Yeller home work
Old Yeller Exercise 1
Hello class! I would like for each of you to reflect on the following questions. Please answer in paragraph form on your blog site. If it helps, copy and paste into your blog and answer from there.
In chapters 1-3, Travis is put in charge of many of the farm jobs and the family security.........
1. If your mother or father left you in charge of the work around the house, would you be able to handle these responsibilities?
2. Travis' father says he expects Travis to act like a man. Do most fourteen year olds act grown up? Explain your answer.
3. The father makes a bargain or agreement with his son. What was that agreement and do you think it is fair for the him to do that with Travis? Explain your feelings.
4. Do your parents make bargains or agreements with you? What kind? How do the agreements work out?
If my mom left me in charge of work in the house I would maybe be able to do some of the tasks. My mom and dad do a lot of things I can't do yet. I don't think most forteen year olds should have to act like a adult. Kids now should only have to worry about school and their education. The bargain between Travis and his father was the dad would get him a horse. I think it could be seen in two different ways as a reward or a bribe in those times a horse was needed to do daily chores but now its more of a luxery to have a horse. My mom and dad expect me to do my chores such as clean my room, take out the trash and get good grades for my allowance and any extra activities I want to do.

I'm sitting here thinking this is an awsome way to communicate to people and let everyone know that we should always treat people with respect.
