Growing up an army brat, Shymkiw and Noey were always traveling. They told the story about how being 'army brats' affected their lives, personalities, relationships, and experiences.
3. How many paragraphs is the story?

There are 12 direct quotes in the story.
6. How many different people are quoted in the story?
There are two other quotes.
7. Which quote is the most impactful of all the ones included?
The most impactful quote in my opinion was: 
“Oh, yeah. It had a huge impact on my life. I was able to learn so many good quality traits from my dad. He made me motivated and responsible for my own life. Daddy really inspired me to join the army myself. I don’t know where I would be if I had grown up any other way,” Noey said.
8. Where is that quote located in the story (beginning, middle, end)?
This quote is at the very end of the story.
9. Does the lede effectively capture the readers attention?
It definitely does. That was one of my favorite parts of the story.
10.If their could have been one additional person interviewed for the story, who would it be?
I think that one extra person that would've been interesting to include would be a friend from their childhoods. It would be really hard to get in contact with people and interview them though.
11. Is the story objective, which means are all non-direct quotes statements of fact and NOT the opinion of the writer?
The story is objective.
12. Are there any unanswered questions that you have after reading the article?
There weren't really any unanswered questions, but the story makes me wonder what the difference was for them in college, since they wouldn't be moving around. (If they went to college)
13. Write a headline to go with this story:
The Life of an 'Army Brat'
14. Sum up your opinion of the story:
I really liked this story! It was easy to follow along and it had great quotes and great structure.

Car raid

Avery Shelton has had her favorite silver Toyota Forerunner since 2015. Her car has traveled with her as she has grown and has served her well. Shelton’s family bought her car in 2015, and it’s been used by her family almost every day. “My family uses our car all the time,” Shelton said. “We use it for simple things such as going to the store, but also on big trips across the country.” The car is tidy, but has dilapidated grey seats. “Since we use our car so much, we often find that it gets a little run-down,” Shelton said. “We always try to keep it as clean as possible though.” Shelton has three sisters who can make life in the car quite difficult. “The biggest downside about the car is that my sisters always take up so much room,” Shelton said. “They’re so loud and make a ton of messes in the car.” A cinnamon-scented car diffuser dangles from the mirror, filling the car with a delicious smell. “We love our diffuser so much,” Shelton said. “I think it ...

C.E. 4.1

Short Answer: 1. La Veta, Colorado 2. This cartoon is making fun of what President Trump said about having a 'bigger button' than Kim Jong Un, and that made him sound idiotic.  3. Bobby Levinski, Ellen Troxclair, Rich DePalma, and Shane Sexton. 4. Seven Players were chosen. They're Sabrina Bianco, Avery McKenzie, Caitlin Godwin, Kandace Blackburn, Keara McGraw, Kyndall Johnson, and Emily Swift.  5. I'd like to own the Fitbit and the Gopro because I know how the regular products work, and those seem like really advanced pieces of technology. The Gopro is useful for skiing, and the fitbit would be useful for getting back into exercise.  Long Response: 1. The name of the book is called: " Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" 2. Trump's lawyer says that the book includes false statements about Trump, therefore "give rise to claims for libel". For that reason, Trump doesn't want the book to go out. 3. I think in some cases, ye...
