Some questions from Prof Boone:
Questions for discussion:
1. What was Catherine called?
2. Why do her entries engage some readers?
3. Is this a true form of storytelling or is it an easy way to cut to the chase?
I am thinking Catherine was someone with a blog? I am not sure who he means....
Anyone else have any theories? Am I forgetting something ?

I don't know who Catherine is either. The only person I can think of whose name I don't know is Lyn's grandmother.

Where did you find those questions? I've missed a few days (term papers, etc) and now feel TOTALLY out of the circle.
Help me out,

Joanna, if you go to the hsao page
http://hsao.net/school.html
When you highlight the bottom of the page you'll see "nothing to laugh at now" it's a link taking you to :
http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/
which is the blog of Prof. Boone

Okay.
I guess the page just wasn't showing up earlier...I thought it was a bad link.
Thanks for the help, now I don't feel as crazy!

1.Catherine is called Birdy
2. Her entries are dairy entries, this is engaging to some readers because it is a very personal form of storytelling. The reader feels like a confidant, allowed access to someones private thoughts and feelings.
3. Yes this is a true form of storytelling.

CATHERINE CALLED BIRDY!
I -loved- that book. It was my favorite from like...4th to 6th grade. Then I read Witch of Blackbird Pond. Also a good book.
That author wrote another book similar to it...Midwife's Apprentice...maybe?

(I realize this note was of no help at all, but I just got so excited when I saw that somebody else knows that book.)

"Not Hesse and her BillieJo and the special way she shared the story.
But Catherine's story.
What was she called? Umm...hmm...She's not Sid's whipping boy or some apprentice to a midwife.
Let me rest for a minute and go back to middle school stories. There are too many Karens writing these works, I think."
That was how I figured it out.

Yeah, I googled a midwife's apprentice and found it. I haven't read it yet though, I think I'll look for it in the library this weekend.

Its good. Short.
Apart from the obvious connection of using diary-style personal narrative to tell a story, does Catherine Called Birdy have any other significance?
