As you've been reading, one attribute Louie has that seems to enable him to keep going is his ability to persevere. Perseverance is about continuing to move forward even when there are difficulties, and this is a message that is important given what society is going through at this point in time. For today, it would insightful to see what each of you is doing to persevere during the time you are at home and connect it to Louie's journey. I would like to write a 1 page essay by Tuesday that addresses this idea. Think of it as a longer, more organized journal than what you usually write. Here is a template you can use for it, and when you are ready, you'll upload it to the assignment section in Teams.
Directions:
1. Put an MLA heading (your name, Mrs. C., Thematic Lit., 14 April 2020) + a Title
2. Paragraph 1--Discuss what perseverance means to you and explain at least 3-4 situations in the story so far that show you how Louie fits your definition. You might contrast him with Mac or explain what you think enables him to keep going even when all evidence points to a dire outcome.
3. Paragraph 2 - Discuss when you've faced difficult situations in your life and managed to persevere. What enabled you to do so? Was it another person who supported you? Was it an activity that enabled you have to have a goal or made you happy? Explain.
4. It should be 250-300words.
Enjoy your long weekend!
Mrs. C
