According to Taney, her brother Jon Jon is a very cute boy who is loved by everyone. Taney really loves her brother too, but every time when she wants to play with him Mary Kate will stops her.She doesn’t want Taney to touch or even go near Jon Jon. Although everyone in the family including her own father only cares about Jon Jon and not her, Taney wasn’t jealous, she still loves her little brother very much. In chapter 9, Taney saves Jon Jon by using her power of seeing the future. When her father comes back and asks her, Mary Kate helps Taney to hide the truth that she used her power by saying it’s her fault. From here we can see that Mary Kate has a good side too. In chapter 10, Taney and Billy have been meeting every other evening at the stream having fun. For Taney this is one of the best times that she has. Billy doesn’t thinks Taney’s special powers are weird, he even helps her to improve to controls her power. Billy don’t have legs and he was once laughed by other’s too. He tells Taney to be strong and fight back. The meeting become something important to both of them.

Reflection on our Presentation

Standard

I really like the idea of using other kinds of presentation instead of just using power-point all the times. Jasmine and I made a video of drawing and recording voices for this assessment. Because we didn’t have the white boards at home, we couldn’t film our drawing. So we needed to use our time wisely to finish this project. We ran though many difficulties on recording voices and drawing pictures. We usually practiced before we really started drawing but we still made a lots of mistake. Although it was challenging, we enjoyed doing it. I think we did pretty good on our presentation, maybe next time we can add more information on to it.
