1. January 15 Chapter 8 – A Bridge Before School Taylor Cunha 8-14
Quick Write:
After Reading:
A time when I had to ask someone for help when I was embarrassed or feeling shy
about it was when my dad first got me my laptop. When he was trying to teach me how to
use it I kept saying I already knew how to use it and didn’t need his help. Later when I was
trying to use it I couldn’t figure everything out so I had to ask him for help even though I was
shy and embarrassed. This relates to Greg because he needed a second donation to build
the bridge before he could build the school but he was shy and embarrassed to ask Jean for
more money like I was with asking my dad for help when I refused it the first time.
This story also contrasts to Greg’s story because he was asking for money to build his
school for charity and I was just asking for help. It also contrasts because the first time he
got a donation he accepted it, the first time I got help I refused it.
