S. This shows me that Ian really loves his little brother Sammy more than himself, and his mother. He would rather Sammy be safe instead of himself. The author included this part because it shows, great bondong between Ian and Sammy.

I think this passage is significant to the text because even though Ian thought everything was going to be in his favour, everything was going to be the total opposite for Ian and Sammy. Ian was going to go to jail and Sammy would be put into foster care. What's really sad is that Ian's and Sammy's father may have been able to stop all of this, but he didn't want to go back to the life he once lived.

P; 8-25
One Sentence; Ian and Sammy are talking about how they both do not like Jail and were wondering if their mother ever went to Jail before.
Significance; This is significant because if you do bad things like drugs, or drink alcohol, or smoke, you are more likely to go to Jail. Ians mom does drugs, drinks alcohol, and I think she smokes too. I predict that she did go to Jail before, considering she does a lot of bad things. The author chose this passage because he wanted you to know that if you do bad things, like drugs or alcohol, you are more likely to go to Jail. He wants you to know that you should not do drugs, because it really messes up your family.

Summary: This paragraph is when Ian's dad Samuel sent Ian away under his guards supervision to Juvie.
Significants: I think that the Author included this in the novel Skate because he wanted to tell the reader that you can't rely on a dad that hasen't been with you since your were a kid. Also I think that the author was trying to tell the reader that if you make a mistake you have to fix it and not someone else. In other words if you make a mistake it's your responsibility to fix it.

One Sentence Summary: When Ian and Sammy had arrived at their Dad's office, Ian had saw something that changed his thoughts about everything he had already thought about.
Significance: The reason this passage is significant to this book is because Ian had explained how things might have been if his father had stayed with his mother. Ian thought it would be nice, but Ian had looked at Sammy and thought the total opposite. When I read this passage I could visualize the whole scene perfectly. It makes me sad, and I also think it shows another side of Ian that was never shown before.

Week 3
Page: 132 Paragraph: 11 - 15
Coach Schmidt was on the phone with Ian and said that he was a quiter and he knew she was right but he did not want to go back to that house, that town and that life.
Significance: The author wanted you to know that the life Ian and other people just like him had was a life that no one would want. He is a quiter, but that part does not matter to him. He did not want his parents to be split up, but the stupid decision that his mom made to do drugs. Now I know how hard it is for children with devorsed parents.

One Sentence Summary: This is when a sherif stoped Ian and Sammy and the almost got sent to home, but Sammy broke his leg with a log.
Significants: This is important to the text because Sammy harrased a police officer which is illegal and they have to hide now or else the police will know where they are. I think that the author put this paragraph in the text because he wanted the reader to know that Ian and Sammy couldn't just turn themselves in but they had to run. Also I think he wanted to tell the reader that Sammy would do anything to get his family back.

TS01 and TS36 I like the read-aloud passages your chose. In your significance, you need to comment on why the author chose to include this passage. What is the significance to the plot development? See April 15 entry. Also, zone in on a key paragraph rather than a page. We're looking for author's craft in this section. e.g. How do they make that scene so vivid?

TS28: Make sure you include a 1ss and significance to the passage (see top of page).
