This Happened to Toby...

This post is for juniors only.

In a thoughtful, thorough paragraph, answer the following question:

What event or incident somewhere in the middle of the book most impacts Toby?

Consider things Toby says, things that are said to him, things he does, things that are done to or around him, etc. the event or statement does not have to be big or dramatic, necessarily. It just has to IMPACT him in an important, crucial way.

Include two correctly cited quotations in your paragraph. Make sure your paragraph has a clear topic sentence. Here are some of the required criteria for your paragraph:

• write in third person (not first or second)
• write in present tense
• avoid contractions
• set-up and explain both quotations
