Let the Games Begin

Good stuff in class today.  According to our online poll, the majority of readers approve of Janie's relationship with Tea Cake and think she deserves the happiness and fun she's experiencing.  Quiz scores were great.  Looks like kids are keeping up with the reading and enjoying the story thus far.

You've been introduced to this blog so now start your comments!  Remember, you need to post at least one by midnight next Friday.  Here are some things to ponder and discuss:

• What is the difference between mourning and grief?
• How does Tea Cake endear himself to Janie?  Does she buy it?
• Janie's hair once again figures into the story.  How?
• Why does she push Tea Cake away from her?  Is that weakness?
• Do you think this relationship will last?  Explain.
