2. Copy and explain the metaphor in stanza 5. Do you ever feel like a puppet on a string? Explain.

5. In stanza 3, there are 5 words that are spelled with an s that we would normally spell with a z. List the five words then explain why they are "misspelled." (HINT: if you're not sure, then copy and paste some of the words from stanza 3 into the online dictionary [follow the link below] and see what spellings for those words the dictionary gives you.)
6. Use this link to an online dictionary to look up insinuate, intimidate, complicate, and hesitate. Copy their definitions into your post. http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/dictionary/dictionaryhome.aspx

Love That Dog discussion questions for Monday
These are the questions on Love That Dog that you were supposed to do in class but those pesky copies have walked off on us. So, please answer the following questions on YOUR OWN PAPER and turn them in to the substitute. THEY MUST BE DONE BY THE TIME I GET BACK!1.We only get one side of the conversation (Jack's) and never what the teacher writes or says to him. Why did the author do this?2.Love That Dog is written differently than other stories, kind of a journal with poems. Why do you think the author choose to write it like this?3.Jack says "Maybe the …poet was just making a picture with words and someone else…typed it up and then people though it was a poem because it looked like one typed up like that." Did Sharon Creech write poems for this book or are they poems because this was how it was typed?4.Jack says, "If that is a poem about the red wheelbarrow and the white chickens then any words can be a poem. You've just got to make short lines." Do you agree?5.What does "anonymous" mean? Why didn't Jack want his name on his poems? Have you ever wanted to share something you created but be anonymous?6.How did you feel after reading Jack's poem called "My Sky" (p. 68)?7.Who is your favorite author or poet?8.Which was your favorite poem in Love That Dog?9.Why does poetry allow Jack to finally share his sadness about his dog?
