t/t In a book i read the family finds a person and takes care of him. It helps me better understand the story because I know how the old man feels.
t/s The old man was acting suspicious about the lake. It helps me better understand the story because when I’m suspicious about someone I do the same thing asĀ Emerson.

Mary-
Good connections! I’m glad to see that you were able to make a personal connection to the chapter. With your text-to-text connection, don’t forget to tell us what happened in the story that you connected to.

You do what I do if I’m suspicious of someone, like what I did to a kid who i thought was lying. I told him something untrue about what he was talking about, and he agreed. Afterward, he admitted to lying.
Hi Mary! This is Dimpie. I like your connections because I can connect to one of them. The one about when you Act like Emerson. I did the same thing to my relatives when I went to India for the first time in my life. I thought they were EXTREMELY weird. But in the end I got used to them.
