Cry of the Taniwha Prejudice Example


My Reflection 
I have been learning to make a prejudice example of a character in the book Cry of the Taniwha.
I found this hard because I didn't have that many ideas and I didn't enjoy this because
it was frustrating. 
My next step is to try listen carefully for examples and ideas to help me learn more about this character.

Understanding a Character's Impact



I was learning to understand a character's impact. One thing I thought of was how Jess felt at the beginning and then the end. At the beginning Jess felt bored and had a boring life. Jess was angry that Leslie died cause she died and actually changed Jess' life. One thing I could do better next time is to find more about is how Leslie changed Jess life so easy and how Jess felt when Leslie changed Jess life.Overall I think I did well to achieving my goal.
