Metacognition Notebook
Dour is a word that I didn't know. The sentence is Dour is a
Bullwhyte vocabulary word that could be properly used to describe him. I
know that Bullwhyte is is my character's aunt's name. I also know that
she is describing the doctor as "dour". I went back, reread, and
thought about all the clues from the paragraph. He didn't talk much
and wasn't very friendly. I think that "dour" means stern, strict or
rigid.
Today my character was talking about being locked in her bedroom. I feel really bad for her. She is writing letters to her brother and I wonder if she can send them since she's locked inside. She is now sick and the doctor came to visit. She says that his nose whistles, I think that is funny and grose. I wouldn't want a doctor like that. It reminds me of the dentist I went to when I was a kid. I also think it's interesting how she describes her mean aunt as having fat ankles. I think this shows that she doesn't really like her aunt. I wouldn't either, she has her locked in her bedroom.
I predict that she is going to run away because the doctor said that she needs fresh air. I think when her aunt leaves the windows open she'll sneak out. I hope she is able to find her brother. I know that he is at war and the year is 1944. I don't think it will be safer for her to be at war, but I can't imagine being locked inside a bedroom by a mean aunt.
Today in my reading I found out that Perlies' brother Martin (who she is writing her letters to) was drafted in the war and that her mother and father are dead. This is why she is staying with her Aunt Bullwhyte. I can't imagine being locked in a room by my aunt, having no parents and my brother off to war. Pearlie has to be very scared and lonely. I wish her aunt would take care of her and love her.
The doctor came to visit Perlie again and this time she did something that even surprised her...she bit him. :) He asked her aunt if she was feral. At first I didn't know what this meant, but here is a clue from my reading. The doctor asked if the child could speak or was she raised by a pack of wolves. (That's why he got bit. ) I think that feral means a child that was raised in isolation and doesn't know anything. It was funny when Perlie wrote to her brother Martin that her bite was only small, not wolflike at all. It didn't even break the skin.
I'm scared for Pearlie now because she has Pneumonia and she's really sick. Her aunt is staying in the room with her and holding her hand and telling her stories of her mother. She also said that if she would have known that her father had died she's have sent for them to live with her. I think her aunt is starting to love her. Also Pearlie said she thinks she knows why her aunt has thick ankles. She believes that her thick ankles are a clue to her character. STALWART. I think that word is just prefect it means loyal, dependable, sturdy and strong. I think her aunt can be all of these things.
I was relieved that Pearlie woke up after her fever broke and she found her bedroom door unlocked and open. She went downstairs and made a sandwich. I think things are going to turn out well between Pearlie and her Aunt and she won't have to run away to find Martin.
