They are imagining that they are Queen Anne and therefore wear lace. The distance is because since they are short, the distance between the poles seems far away. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78460?scroll_to=1151311 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78460?scroll_to=1151311 Tue, 06 Nov 2018 08:55:32 -0500 I find it interesting that the story begins in the introduction. Usually, the introduction serves to introduce the story and doesn't actually contain the beginning of the story. It is a good strategy because it creates a good effect of having hooked the https://nowcomment.com/documents/78460?scroll_to=1151308 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78460?scroll_to=1151308 reader. Tue, 06 Nov 2018 08:52:03 -0500 I wonder how old this author is. She has to be older than social media, yet of the age where she still keeps a shoebox. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78460?scroll_to=1151306 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78460?scroll_to=1151306 Tue, 06 Nov 2018 08:48:47 -0500 Why did the author pick out these two names out of all the possible ones that portrayed what he wanted? https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=894037 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=894037 A Wed, 29 Nov 2017 11:56:50 -0500 I think that the author did this to really emphasize his opinion of the whole subject through his use of ridiculous humor. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=894035 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=894035 S Wed, 06 Jun 2018 21:07:21 -0400 Although this is making me want to read more, it could be offending to those parents who think that dodgeball should be banned in the school system. (It is very persuasive though.) https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=894024 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=894024 S Mon, 17 Sep 2018 16:23:25 -0400 I think this sounds like an opinion as this piece is very opinion-based. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=894013 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=894013 C Wed, 29 Nov 2017 11:41:19 -0500 I thought dodgeball was only played with one or two balls. Here they have at least four. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=894008 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=894008 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 15:23:17 -0500 Is it me or does the coach not seem to care that he got hurt? He might have even gotten a concussion from falling on his head so hard. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=893953 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=893953 A Fri, 26 Jan 2018 14:12:52 -0500 The boy found a new sense of pride in being the one who could dodge any shot. This probably added to his confidence too. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=893951 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=893951 C Mon, 17 Sep 2018 16:23:25 -0400 Our protagonist is getting the upper hand. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=893948 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=893948 S Wed, 29 Nov 2017 10:58:06 -0500 This kid says he is small and uncomfortable, so he is already at a disadvantage. I think there is a good chance that because Jay backs up he will not be able to hit him. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=893945 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=893945 P Wed, 29 Nov 2017 10:56:56 -0500 It seems to me that this would discourage anyone who doesn't like sports or doesn't want to get hurt from playing dodgeball. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=893938 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=893938 C Wed, 29 Nov 2017 10:52:56 -0500 How is it that "the small and timid survive" when the "Big kids used smaller ones as shields"? It doesn't make sense. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=893932 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=893932 A Fri, 29 Dec 2017 15:22:05 -0500 "The Sabaeans or Sabeans were an ancient people speaking an Old South Arabian language who lived in the southern Arabian Peninsula. The kingdom of Saba' has been identified with the biblical land of Sheba." (Wikipedia) https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=882526 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=882526 L Thu, 09 Nov 2017 16:52:12 -0500 Job in Hebrew means "persecuted, hated." https://www.behindthename.com/name/job https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=882524 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=882524 L Mon, 17 Sep 2018 16:23:24 -0400 I think that this was a test from the Lord to see if Job would remain faithful to him. Abraham too was tested in a similar way in "The Binding of Isaac" where Abraham had to sacrifice his only son. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=882519 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=882519 C Tue, 05 Dec 2017 12:35:04 -0500 I think that the story implies that they had flooding in the house and they had to kill the crabs, almost like humans having to kill cockroaches when they get in the house. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=882512 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=882512 C Thu, 09 Nov 2017 16:24:24 -0500 How long did this take place if they had the time to build a mansion? https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=882509 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=882509 A Thu, 09 Nov 2017 16:19:20 -0500 This woman who was changed into a spider is also Magical Realism. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=882508 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=882508 Thu, 09 Nov 2017 16:17:22 -0500 These "most unfortunate and sick people on earth" must have been part of 'Magical Realism' because they aren't a normal kind of sick in our world. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=882506 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=882506 C Thu, 09 Nov 2017 16:15:49 -0500 I wonder how Pelayo and Elisenda didn't feel bad that they decided to take advantage of the old man because they could make money out of it. It only seems like common sense to help someone in need, not use them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=882489 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=882489 C Thu, 09 Nov 2017 16:12:16 -0500 What does the illustration have to do with the story? https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=882484 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=882484 A Thu, 09 Nov 2017 16:03:49 -0500 This hints that something bad probably happened in the water. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=879472 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=879472 P Tue, 07 Nov 2017 08:10:16 -0500 I don't know how old he is, but as it mentions later on about the twelve yr old girls and their Grandma, I think he was their father, as they don't mention any other parents on the scene. That would make him around 30. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=879160 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=879160 C Mon, 06 Nov 2017 19:29:24 -0500 This is the brother of the boy who drowned. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=879154 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=879154 S Mon, 06 Nov 2017 21:38:03 -0500 So was Gary their father? Was the boy who drowned related to them? https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=879153 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=879153 A Wed, 15 Nov 2017 09:43:56 -0500 Single Malt is a type of whiskey, which makes me think that he was distressed. Also the fact that he did not protest against the porch lights being turned off shows that something was bothering him. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=879151 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78241?scroll_to=879151 L, P Tue, 27 Feb 2018 16:12:45 -0500
