 ​ You may begin typing or pasting your writing into this section. Be mindful that you will want to keep things reasonably organized in the beginning. For example: Paste your initial paragraph into the space identified as to the part or the author. Once the revision of paragraphs have been accomplished you can then discuss which paragraphs should come first and how to transition them together so that they smoothly make one paper.

(madison) Hey this is Eowyn. Emma: orange Madison: blue Celine: Magenta Eowyn: green Ok? Okay, can do!!!!!!!!!! (madison)

{First paragraph posted} Scout’s Honor takes place the year 1946. The main character lives in Brooklyn. During this story, the Boy Scouts have a badge that is a major symbol. The badge, Scouts Craft, symbolizes toughness and manhood. That is one reason the scouts go on this trip. Their adventure takes them to the wide open spaces of New Jersey. Their camping trip takes a turn for the worst when they end up in the mysterious unknown woods. But before that, they started at the High Street Subway Station. Events happened there that infuriated our characters. is this the intro??????????? (madison)

Hey Madison you don't have you retype your paragraph There were lots of literary devices in this story. Some of the examples of figurative language included: alliterations, hyperboles and similes. I have three favorites. The first was “landed like a Hell-Cat dive-bomber”, which refers to the time when Horse fell in the rain and landed in a puddle. This helps the reader imagine how hard he hit the ground. The second one is harder to recognize. It was “my legs were melting fast.” This referred to the pain in the narrator’s leg as he was walking back home. This shows that he felt like he could not continue to walk for very much longer. The final literary device that I like is a hyperbole. It says “a zillion miles away”, which refers to the narrator’s belief at how far away their camping spot lies. This shows that he does not want to travel that far. Great job giving the examples, however, it would be really great if you were to go back and identify the figurative language the example represents. (Mrs. 2) Yea, I'm with Mrs.2 on this!!!!!!!!!! LOL! (madison)

Why does it seem like I'm the only student posting on here? Could it be tha t // am // the only one????? Noooooo, u r not the ONLY one, I'm posting too!!!! (madison) ​We meet our narrator. He is a nine year old boy scout who believes that scouting will make him tougher than his friends. He is a tender foot rank, and the only thing left for him to “rank up”, is the scout craft badge, which requires him to go camping overnight( page 54).The Narrator has “Never been out of Boston.” And, he has never seen any forests or country (page 54). After the narrator has asked Scoutmaster Benkman where to find country, he tells his friends Phillip Hossfender or “Horse”, and Richard Macht or “Max” about the camping trip (page 56). The boys tell their parents that they were going camping over night with the Scoutmaster, which was a lie (pg.56). The next day they went on the subway (pages 56-57). Horse left his mattress on the platform, so he and the narrator jumped out of the train to get it, while Max stayed on the train. The narrator tells Max to stay at the next stop, and not to move. When horse and the narrator finally make it to the train stop where Max is many hours later, they find him cold and wet. Max explains that he was just following orders not to move. After they reunite with Max they set off again on the train this time eating most of their food. When they exit the train, the three boys set off and are crossing a bridge when the light sprinkling turn into a down pour. They hurry to find camp and when they find it set it up. The boys make a fire. Max eats his food and the Narrator eats his last peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Horse has realized that he forgot a can opener for his beans, and the narrator suggests that he should just use his hatchet to open the can. When Horse does, the beans fly everywhere and the boys start having a food fight. After wards, Horse says that he feels sick and the narrator suggests that they go home. They all agree on that suggestion. When they are leaving they promise on scout's honor that they wouldn't tell Scout Master Benkman that they didn't stay over night. Love, love, love that you have cited your reference pages!!!! This is an example of what would get your group an exceed!!!! Encourage others to do the same!!!!!!!!! Excellent work.Mrs. S.

The narrator is the main character in the story, __Scout’s Honors by, Avi. __He relates to the main character by being himself (pg. 54). The main character is a nine year old (pg. 54) baseball fan (pg. 56) who becomes a scout because he thinks it will make him seem tougher and stronger, (pg. 53). Some of the narrator’s friends are, Philip Hossfender (Horse,) and Richard Macht (Max), (pg. 57). They relate to the narrator by being his friends. Horse and his friends consider him as “tough”, (pg. 55). Both Horse and Max are baseball fans like the narrator, (pg. 56). Max is a little more on the “pudgy” side, (pg. 55) and his friends’ say that he can, “talk his way out of a locked room, (pg. 55) and is too considered “tough.”, (pg. 55). Then, there is, Scout Master Brenkman, who is a Scout Master and a Pastor, (pg. 55). He is the narrator’s Pastor and Scout Master. < This was Madison, posting her paper of the characters.

​ Hey guys, this is Celine :) I meshed together the story and here is how it came out. In the story __Scout’s Honor__ by Avi, he tells a tale of three boy scouts in Brooklyn. In this short essay, we will tell you the symobls and literary divices in the story, the events and charecters. We meet our narrator. He is a nine year old boy scout who believes that scouting will make him tougher than his friends.  He is a tender foot rank, and the only thing left for him to get a "rank up", is the scout craft badge, which requires him to go camping overnight( page 54).The Narrator has "Never been out of Boston." And, he has never seen any forests or country (page 54). After the narrator has asked Scoutmaster Benkman where to find country, he tells his friends Phillip Hossfender or "Horse", and Richard Macht or "Max" about the camping trip (page 56). The boys tell their parents that they were going camping over night with the Scoutmaster, which was a lie (pg.56). The next day they went on the subway (pages 56-57). Horse left his mattress on the platform, so he and the narrator jumped out of the train to get it, while Max stayed on the train (page 57). The narrator tells Max to stay at the next stop, and not to move. When horse and the narrator finally make it to the train stop where Max is many hours later, they find him cold and wet. Max explains that he was just following orders not to move. After they reunite with Max they set off again on the train this time eating most of their food. When they exit the train, the three boys set off and are crossing the George Washington Bridge, when the light sprinkling turn into a down pour. They hurry to find camp and when they find it set it up (pages 61-62). The boys make a fire. Max eats his food and the Narrator eats his last peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Horse has realized that he forgot a can opener for his beans, and the narrator suggests that he should just use his hatchet to open the can. When Horse does, the beans fly everywhere and the boys start having a food fight (page 62). After wards, Horse says that he feels sick and the narrator suggests that they go home. They all agree on that suggestion (page 62). When they are leaving they promise on scout's honor that they wouldn't tell Scout Master Benkman that they didn't stay over night (page 63).

The story __Scout’s Honor__ takes place the year 1946. The main character lives in Brooklyn. During this story, the Boy Scouts have a badge that is a major symbol. The badge, Scouts Craft, symbolizes toughness and manhood. That is one reason the scouts go on this trip. Their adventure takes them to the wide open spaces of New Jersey. Their camping trip takes a turn for the worst when they end up in the mysterious unknown woods. But before that, they started at the High Street Subway Station. Events happened there that infuriated our characters.

The narrator is the main character in the story, __Scout’s Honors by, Avi.__ He relates to the main character by being himself (pg. 54). The main character is a nine year old, (pg. 54) baseball fan, (pg. 56) who becomes a scout because, he thinks it will make him seem tougher and stronger, (pg. 53). Some of the narrator’s friends are, Philip Hossfender (Horse,) and Richard Macht (Max), (pg. 57). They relate to the narrator by being his friends. Horse and his friends consider him as "tough", (pg. 55). Both Horse and Max are baseball fans like the narrator, (pg. 56). Max is a little more on the "pudgy" side, (pg. 55) and his friends’ say that he can, "talk his way out of a locked room, (pg. 55) and is too considered "tough.", (pg. 55). Then, there is, Scout Master Brenkman, who is a Scout Master and a Pastor, (pg. 55). He is the narrator’s Pastor and Scout Master. Also, there were many literary diveces used. Some of the examples of figurative language included: alliterations, hyperboles and similes. I have three favorites. The first was "landed like a Hell-Cat dive-bomber", this simmile helps the reader imagine how Horse hit the ground. The second one is harder to recognize. It was "my legs were melting fast." This referred to the pain in the narrator’s leg as he was walking back home and is a hyperbole. This shows that he felt like he could not continue to walk for very much longer. The final literary device that I like is a hyperbole. It says "a zillion miles away", which refers to the narrator’s belief at how far away their camping spot lies. This shows that he does not want to travel that far.

That concludes our paper on Scout's Honor. We hope that you have gained some knowledge and understanding of Scout's Honor by Avi.

Ok this is it. I did an ok job at meshing it together. I need help with transition words, I'm not good at them. Eowyn, I changed yours a little bit and explained similes and stuff. Look it over. Emma, I don't remember what I did with yours, I might not have done anything. I'm not entierly sure. I know that I didn't anything to Madison's though. I really need help trying to make the paragraphs fit into each other. It seems kind of awkward the way it is now. If there are any spelling mistakes please fix, since I'm not a good speller. What do you guy's think of the order? I was thinking about putting Madison's first or Emma's. You guys can fix it all you want, please comment! ~Celine :) I say u put the setting, then the characters, than the literary devices. That's just an opinnion!! :p please change somethings about mine, it seems " BLAND" other that that, it's really, SPAZTASTIC, (that's my word of the year by the way!!) (as always, madison coffey)
