Response for Chapter 1&2
Sir Philip is a very hard, selfish and proud man, he does not care about others' feelings and he wants more power and wealth. The villagers want to protect their common land, which is claimed by Sir Philip and surrounded it with stone walls. When people's rights, or property are taken unreasonably, people will revolt. The villagers gather up and try to overthrow the walls, while Peter is guarding them. When, Peter sees Sir Philip and his people coming toward them, he throws a rock at Sir Philip with no hesitation, which slows Sir Philip's people down and give the villagers the time to run away. Though Peter eventually escapes from them, and the rock does not hit Sir Philip, but Sir Philip is very mad at this and finds out that it was Peter. I think here, the rock is a symbol of revolting against injustice, and what makes Sir Philip mad is not the "throwing" put, it is that he feels his authority is being questioned. Chapter 2 ends with Peter escaping from the constable sends by Sir Philip, I believe this plot will not just end here, Peter, the villagers and Sir Philip will eventually face each other, and the conflict is just starting.

I agree that the conflict starts there, but what Jeff is doing now is summary, which is good, but try to add in your own thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Stella, I will rewrite my paragraph with more thoughts and connections.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Stella, your whole post is a long summary which I think should be cut down. It is a good thing to have a summary, however in a responsive post, it is best to include a lot of responses and thoughts
