Comments by Chia Chi Hsiao Most recent public comments by Chia Chi Hsiao https://nowcomment.com/users/35993 The story uses a 3-part structure. At the beginning it starts with workers building a train track. The middle of the story is depicting passegers on a train and what they see. At the end is when the boy and his mom are reunited with his father. https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1046272 https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1046272 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 03:44:18 -0500 When the story uses "easy-easy" and "pushes-pushes," it uses repetition. https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1046270 https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1046270 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 03:31:16 -0500 The rule of three is used in the story when they say "Clang-clang-clang-clang." https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1046269 https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1046269 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 03:24:39 -0500 Thanks for the clarification. I didn't understand at first why fearing God was a good thing. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=1036730 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=1036730 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 20:38:10 -0500 Because they thought he was here to take the child away. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=1036729 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78245?scroll_to=1036729 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 20:34:54 -0500 I agree. In the article "Using Humour in Nonfiction Writing" it advises to not use profanity. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=1036728 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=1036728 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 20:30:12 -0500 I think that the author might be trying to communicate that the school system is trying to over protection kids and in the future it will have a negative effect. If you take competition out of school, how will kids survive in society? https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=1036713 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=1036713 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 20:26:45 -0500 I think it's an overuse of satire. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=1036711 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=1036711 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 20:07:21 -0500 I think that the author might being using satire to get the reader's attention. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=1036710 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=1036710 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 19:59:51 -0500 Dodgeball isn't neccessarily a game where the strong take out the weak. It can also be a game where you learn to work together as a team and the strong protect the weak. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=1036709 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78250?scroll_to=1036709 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 19:45:37 -0500 The narrator probably hoped that winning the game would get him noticed by the athletes. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=1036708 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=1036708 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 19:33:05 -0500 It seems like athletes have the highest social status in their school; however, being good at dodgball doesn't mean you're an athlete https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=1036707 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=1036707 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 19:32:14 -0500 Dodgball is described as only a game and not a real sport https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=1036706 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=1036706 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 19:21:38 -0500 It seems like if it was a coed school then the dodgball game wouldn't be so intense if there were girls playing too. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=1036704 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=1036704 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 18:59:01 -0500 I think some students care. Maybe they need help but don't know how to ask for it. It's easy to get lost in the public school system. There could be other reasons for them not being able to keep up with their classmates. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=1036703 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78248?scroll_to=1036703 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 18:53:37 -0500 Job didn't waver even after all this tragedy happened to him. https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=1036078 https://nowcomment.com/documents/78247?scroll_to=1036078 Mon, 04 Jun 2018 22:57:46 -0500 Who are the sons of God?
