Direct and Indirect

Those Who Don't Pg.28

Indirect- but watch us drive into a neighborhood of another color and our knees go shakity-shake and our car windows get rolled up tight and our eyes look straight.

In this part of the story they try to act like they are not scared, but by the way they act you can tell that they are scared, that's why this is indirect.

There was an old woman she had so many children she didn't know what to do
Pg. 29

Indirect- The kids bend tress and bounce between cars and dangle upside down from their knees and almost break fancy museum vases that cant be replaced.

This is indirect because she doesn't tell us the kids are bad she tells us what they do and by that we know that the kids are bad,

What I'm most proud of is my trebuchet because i believe it was my best work last year and i really put a lot of effort in it, and also the teachers used ours as an example of good work and shared it with the class. That's why i am really proud of my trebuchet.
