Raymond's Run
A.- Summarize the events. (Write the plot in a cause effect sequence)
B.- Explain the conflict and the attitute toward disabled people presented in the story.
*In this story, people stare at Raymond as if he was a freak. They make fun of him, and they don't respect him. They take advantage that Raymond can't do anything, and they bother him. The other kids were very rude, and they didn't know how to be nice to him, maybe it was because nobody taught them that they were wrong or that nobody care that they laugh about Raymond, and that was even worst than making fun of him.

Checkouts by Cynthia Rylant
- The girl: When the girl smiled at the boy, her motivation was that she had fell in love of him.
- The boy: He never looked at her when she came into the supermarket or when she left, and his motivation was that he felt embarrassed and like a fool near her.
- The both of them are very shy because both of them felt attracted by each other, but they never expressed what they felt.
B.-Write predictions you thought of, while reading the story and explain which one became true. Make connections to your own life.
I thought, while reading the story, that it was going to be about a girl and a boy that felt in love, and at the end they would stay together, and as I continued reading, I find out that the story was about a girl and a boy that did fell in love, but they didn't stay together because they never expressed what they felt.
I think that this story makes connection to my own life because sometimes I don't express how I feel or what I think to others.
C.- Write a synthesis of the story in your BLOG.
The story is about a girl that was moving to Cincinnati, but she didn't want to move because she had all her friends there. In Cincinnati, she always went to grocery shop because that was her way to relax and to think. One day, she smiled at the bag boy, and he dropped her jar of mayonaise. He felt like a fool, and she fell in love of him. From then on, each time that the girl went to the supermarket, he never looked at her, and she went to another cashier. Time when on, and another boy invited the girl to the movies. The boy began working at a library, where he met a girl, and invited her out. When the girl was in the movies, she saw him, and he saw her, they smiled at each othe, and then they acted as if they were extrangers to one another.
