Instructions

Hello, Sixth Period!

For your ORB written assignment, I am requiring that you make three postings to this blog about your ORB. You must choose three different options from the "blogging options" handout (on First Class). I am looking for superb commentary, which should make obvious why your ORB "educates your conscience."

Please, adhere to the expectations on the rubric (also on First Class).

Understanding her Feelings Towards her Boyfriend

Ace Zuckerman was a jock, sporty, popular, "and handsome, I suppose, though in an almost cartoonish way" (48). Even though Naomi was not up in the 'popular' crowd she was still liked by many people. She couldn't understand why she liked Ace in the first place, for her "everything about him seemed too broad, too big. If someone had asked me right at the moment, I would have said, "Definitely not my type."" (49). She finally figures out that the only reason that she liked him was because they were both on the tennis team and were always partners. Out of everything, that was all she could think of that they had in common. I think that this is a frustrating moment to try to figure out why, but, maybe she had just gone out with him for his tennis 'player', not for who he really was.
