-Reading-Be sure to get in your 40 minutes to an hour everyday. If you're nearing the end of your book, make a plan for a new book. Perhaps a family member or friend will let you borrow one of theirs; remember, new genres could result in happy adventures.
-We're correcting "Lather and Nothing Else" today. Compare your work to mine.
2. In the historical fiction “Lather and Nothing Else” by Hernandez Tellez, suspense is created in the first two paragraphs with the reader learning that the main character is so nervous he is shaking and that’s because the man who just entered is carrying guns and lots of bullets. This is suspenseful because the reader wonders WHO would be walking around with so much ammunition and why it’s okay for him to do so. The reader also is anxious because this man with the guns, for some reason, makes the main character nervous—the reader wonders why (maybe they’ve had contact before).
3. (answers will vary)
4. In the historical fiction “Lather and Nothing Else” by Hernandez Tellez, the man who has entered with the guns has been rounding up rebels in the countryside. He has killed some of them.
5. In the historical fiction “Lather and Nothing Else” by Hernandez Tellez, the reader learns that the main character, the barber, is a secret revolutionary. He’s like a spy for the rebels.
6. In the historical fiction “Lather and Nothing Else” by Hernandez Tellez, the main character has a conflict with himself; he must decide whether to kill Captain Torres. On the one hand, he wants to kill Captain Torres but knows that this will result in having to hide the body, running from Torres’s soldiers, and that some would call him a coward because he did it when the Captain’s eyes were closed. He also feels that some would respect him and call him an avenger and hero of the people. On the other hand, he doesn’t want to kill Torres because he just wants to do his job, he’s just a barber and not a murderer.
7. (answers will vary)
8. In the historical fiction “Lather and Nothing Else” by Hernandez Tellez, at the end of the story we learn that Torres admits that it’s not easy to kill. This shows that he struggles with this task. This is different from the Captain Torres of the rest of the story, because up to this point, the Captain doesn’t seem bothered by hunting down rebels, killing them, or torturing them. This leaves the reader wondering if Torres is a true villain.
