Hello, Second Period!

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

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

Happy blogging!

note - trying not to spoil anything

A frustrated Carly returns homoe to only be infuriated, especially when she sees her sister, anna, wearing her shirt. She's even more annoyed when Anna greets her as if nothing is wrong, so she calls her out stating, "You're wearing my shirt" (254). Of course, "[She] can't believe that of all the things [she] could say, this is what comes out of [her] mouth. But it is" (254). Carly, like all girls, will spot every little thing, and make a big deal out of it -- except unfortunately, the next time Carly sees the shirt, it really will be important. Anna, on the other hand, doesn't seem to catch onto Carly's anger -- of course, she can tell Carly is frustrated, but she doesn't know why, since she doesn't think there's anything to be frustrated about! The shirt itself is Carly's home-made shirt, made from a carved potato and some paint. So, unquestionably, Carly feels insulted to see Anna wearing the shirt, since it looks better on her than it would ever look on Carly -- who put all the effort into making it in the first place. I won't go further than to say that soon after this scene, Carly will notice the shirt agian, only the sting that comes with it will be much worse.
