Krista Ramsey Post

Great Column!

That great column is about Legos. To go more into detail the column is about how parents need to let kids play with legos and not get in the way of them. Legos actually help the cildren learn becuase the children are using their mind to build amazing structures like castles, skyscrapers, or planes.

"Like sparklers and hugs, Legos are things a child can never have enough of. Wise parents not only understand this, but support their child's Lego habit, sometimes to the tune of hundreds or thousands of dollars over the course of a childhood."

Krista's writing style is just like everyone else, short paragraphs with not a lot of detail. She doesn't have any quotes in her Lego column. I think that columnists don't really use quotes becuase then the columnist could be biased toward someone or something else.

If i would get the opportunity to ask Krista some questions I would first ask when did she think of herself as a writer? I would also ask howe many times does she restart a certain column or even does she ever give up on writing that certain column? One last question i would ask is why did she want to become a columnist?

Text-to-World Connection

A text-to-world connection is that there is always a war or dispute happening in the world. In my book, Into The Wild, the cats from other clans always want more of something. For example sometimes there is not enough food in the forest, or there is a drought, or something that messes up the lifestyle of the clans.

The connection is that our world always has a dispute going on, even if your country is all happiness. Like right now America is just ending a war with Afghanistan and America is bringing most of their troops home. I said most because the United States government still doesn't trust Afghanistan. There will probably always be troops being deployed and troops coming home.

The Cats are also like this because if there isn't something going on between the clans there is a mysterious disease or there isn't anymore animals to kill in the forest. But maybe sometimes people, or cats, get that one or two seconds of peace to not go ballistic and blow up.
