Hello Joe,
This is an excellent start to reading our new novel. You’ve included some key information about characters and I’m pleased to see you have noticed the telescope.
Targets:
1) Remember to re-read and edit your work for typos
2) Look at your quotation for Chapter 2 – was this the most purposeful? Justify why you chose it.
3) Begin to explore symbolism – what might the telescope represent? Why?
