Emily+BCR3

** Score:3 ** I think that the author’s purpose is to inform. I think this because I knew it was not to persuade, or entertain, because it did not try to get the reader to do or buy something. Nor, was the story fictional, it was to inform because it tells you about her life, and how she did not let cancer bring her down. Also, it informs you about how her life has changed, and how her “special ski poles” are like crutches and how they differed from regular ski poles. Lastly, it told the reader how she overcame her disability and how she continued to ski on regular poles. I think that Diana will go down in history, and be remembered. ** Reflection: ** ** I think I got a 3 on this BCR because I did not explain my reasons why I thought the things I wrote about. Also, I think I should have written about how she will be remembered, and why. ** ** Next, I should have written more about how she overcame her disease, and continued on doing what she loves. Lastly, I should have written about her look on skiing, and why she loved it so much. That would have made the reader better understand why Diana Golden continued to ski, no matter what came in her way. **
