Purple Hibiscus Response

               In Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, it seems as if Kambili is being changed by her time with Aunt Ifeoma. For example, Kambili starts laughing when with her cousins. She also doesn't care as much about Papa Nnukwu staying at their house. She still notices that it is wrong, but doesn't do anything about it. She even starts to love Papa Nnukwu, like when she tried to put the pieces back together of his painting after her father ripped it up.

               I have also noticed that Jaja is changing. He starts to take an interest in Aunt Ifeoma's garden and purple hibiscuses. Jaja and Kambili don't follow their schedules as strictly. Jaja starts to assimilate to his cousins' lives. He does everything with them. Once he gets back home with his father, he asks for privacy to go back to his room. This was not allowed in his father's house and Jaja knew it, but he still asked.

Strengths and Challenges

                My strengths as a writer are organization and word choice. I have learned how to allow a thesis to lead my paper and give my paper its general order. This is significantly allowed my writing to be much more organized. My word choice has also been bettered. I have learned how to find meaningful words that help my writing be as specific as possible.                 I still need to work on voice. Sometimes, I do not use the right kind of writing styles to fit what my audience likes. For example, I struggle with when to use informal and formal styles. All of these areas are important because, as I continue to develop my writing knowledge, they will help me answer my rhetorical situations better. They will help me answer questions and prompts, and they will help me get my point across fluently and with ease.

Thanksgiving Break

               My Thanksgiving Break was not all that eventful. A friend and I both took Drivers Ed. We started Saturday and through to Wednesday. We both passed, even though we stressed for hours that we wouldn't.                On Thanksgiving Day, I went over to my sister's house in Plaquemine. My brother-in-law, Blake, and his whole family joined our family to celebrate the day. The next day I went to see a movie and hang out with some friends, and then I went to a soccer practice. That weekend, my family and I started decorating our house for Christmas.

Where Is It?

               Dr. Dean, a cardiac surgeon, hears the dreaded noise. Oh no, not that noise , Dr. Dean thinks to himself. He rushes to find the defibrillator.                "Where is it, where is it?" Dr. Dean whispers in a frustrated voice, meanwhile seeing no sign of the defibrillator he most desperately needed.                The nurses rush in. The anesthesiologist checks her calculations, making sure she did not make the mistake no one wanted to have to break to Bill's parents. Surgeons sprinting to find the nearest doctor that could help.                "How could I have let this happen? I promised them he would be okay," Dr. Dean says, anxiously still looking for the stubborn instrument.                It has been fifteen minutes, no progress has been made on the hunt for the defibrillator. Dr. Dean's glimmer in his eyes flickers out. He realizes he must break the news to the parents. He walks, slowly, keeping track of each new step he takes.
