Connector

__ Connector __

**As the Connector, it is your job to find connections between the novel your group is reading and the outside world. Remember the types of connections are text-to-text, text-to-self, and text-to-world. You must label the type of connection, give the example you found in the book along with the page number, and state how you made the connection. M** ** ake at least //two (2)// connections from the book. **
 * 1. Type of Connection- Text to World **
 * I can make a connection to the background knowledge I know about people who are blind. I have learned in the past, that sometimes people can go blind from getting in an accident, or just losing their vision. Sometimes they may still have some vision left. I am not blind, and I don't know anyone that is, but I can connect to background info. to learn how they might act or feel. The main character Cheyenne loses her sight in an accident, but still has a some left. **
 * 2. Type of Connection: Text to Text **
 * When Cheyenne was younger she got into a car crash, causing her mom to die. In other books I have read, the main characters parents die too. I can compare the way the characters think, and understand how they feel better. **

**2. Type of Connection-text to world **
==**I can make a connection because of our world today. There are lots of people out there in the world who are like Cheyenne and have to expirerence and feel like her. **==

Great job Abby! I agree with these connections. I feel like its hard to connect to this book because the situations are so extreme, but you did a good job. -Danielle

Week 4: Text-to-self One connection I had was when Cheyenne was talking about her dog, and how she missed him. I connected to that because I have lost my dog before. When that happened I really missed him just like Cheyenne was in the book.

Text-to-text Another connection I had was to a book I read a couple of years ago. The book was Helen Keller, this book is sort of related to this book because Helen is blind and so is Cheyenne. The only difference is that Helen is blind and deaf.
