Review of a Children Story


Review

In these stories they approach characterization very well by relating to cute children things and also by making it a very good learning experience for kids at the same time. These stories appeal to kids because they like animals and cute little things. A story that would be appealing to little kids would be “kitty wants a box” because its quick to the point and it makes for a good learning experience. Invisible Alligators although it makes no sense at all it appeals to little kids because they have imagination and they can understand how it works. Ollie’s Jar speaks on how people can be friends and relate to each other it portrays friendship and sharing.

How to Make your Mother do Stuff for you

How to Make your Mother do Stuff for you

Step #1- Can you act?: Wake up in the morning and be in a good mood, even if you’re not just pretend. Talk to your mom and say “Good morning, how are you?” or “How did you sleep?”, sit and have a little chat.


Step #2- Can you cook?: If she is not cooking breakfast then cook breakfast for her even if its just toast or something very simple, make a plate for yourself and eat with her.


Step #3- Can you make conversation?: While at the table with whatever you are eating and wherever you're eating then make a conversation first about plans for the day.


Step #4- Do you know when to leave?: If her plans for the day include work then quickly finish your plate, put the plate in the dishwasher or sink and slowing make your way to your room (if she asks you what plans YOU have then you say you don’t know yet).


Step #5- Can you give a good compliment?: Quickly get dressed and then when your mom gets dressed help her pick out her outfit, compliment her on everything. (if she starts to suspect something is wrong or you're being different, just say that you're in a good mood and then walk away).


Step #6- Can you wait?: When you walk away go into your room for like 10 minutes. Then you find her and ask her what you want from her but act like you just thought of it so she doesn't expect you were planning this all along.


Step #7- Did you do it right?: At this point she should say yes, but if she doesn’t then you did it all wrong and you're just not capable of being in a good mood or being nice to your mother, even if its just to get what you want.

Tips:

  1. If you're making breakfast, then I would suggest you to cook something like bacon or eggs or just eggs.
  2. Don’t make it obvious when you leave the table that you're trying to get out of there too quickly.
  3. Compliments- “Thats pretty”, “Thats nice”, “I like that” or “Nice choice”.
  4. If you're not sure 10 minutes is enough then you wait 20 but no longer.
  5. If your mom say’s no then she just doesn't want you to do anything today, and you're screwed.

"How To" Article Review

How to Make Instant Coffee


         

          I chose this how to article because I love coffee and I have no idea how to make coffee only if its from a keurig machine, little on make a cup from scratch.

          This is a good article because it does a great informational detailed step buy step explanations, at the same time it makes it interesting because it explains how simple it is and it provides good pictures of what it should look like at the time of the step. Its easy to follow and understand. It stops sometimes in the middle of a paragraph to make a note, which is good because if it wasn't there you probably wouldn't turn out the way you wanted.

          They could make it better by putting maybe a video of them making it. If I were to rate this article out of 20 I would have to give it maybe 15/20. I think they should add the potential dangers of the step by step process, s they are aware of what could happen if they don't be careful.
