At the beginning of the story, Trisha’s grandfather takes a book and ladles some honey on the book to show that knowledge is a sweet thing. Trisha had been excited to go to school and read but when the time did come she didn’t get to read but she still liked school, instead she’d spend her time coloring while kids gather around her as she did magic with the crayons. When she finally was learning to read she didn’t like it and had a tough time pronouncing words and while everyone else advanced in reading, she stayed still learning words and would often make up excuses that would get her out of going to school. Trisha’s mother had gotten a job in California where Trisha entered fifth that’s where she had met Mr.Falker. Mr.Falker would help Trisha read and pronounced words and stay after school with her to help pronounced words and one day he put a book in front of her and slowly Trisha began to read. And she sprinted home to go get the book that hadn’t been touched for so many year and ladled some honey on it and held it close to her chest, Because she finally knew the joy of knowing how to read.
Thank you Mr.Falker Thomas Reyes

ReplyDeleteThe story Thank You Mr. Falker, by Patricia Polacco is about a little girl named Trisha who has difficulty reading. At the beginning of the story, Trisha is five and will soon go to kindergarten. Her grandfather puts honey on the cover of a book and tells Trisha to taste it. She says the flavor is sweet, and her family tells her that so is knowledge.
Not long after that, Trisha goes to kindergarten, and gets disappointed that she is not taught how to read. In first grade the class is taught how to read, but she does poorly and falls behind. She gets laughed at, and is almost glad when her mother announces they will be moving to California. Trisha hopes the new class won’t notice she doesn’t know how to read. Unfortunately for her, the teasing only gets worse.
For 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade, Trisha is teased, until 5th grade, when the school gets a new teacher. She is happy to have this teacher as her own when he stops the kids from laughing at her when she reads. But the nicer this teacher, Mr. Falker, is to Trisha, the meaner Eric, the worst of the class, is. He convinces the rest of the class to wait for her in various places and, if found, to call her stupid or ugly. One day Mr. Falker catches Eric being especially mean, and sends him to the office. He keeps Trisha after school, when he confirms she does not know how to read. He comforts her,and she stays late after school tor moths. After a long time, Mr. Falker hands Trisha a book and she reads a sentence all by herself.
After she finishes at school she runs home without stopping. She runs into the kitchen and grabs a jar. Trisha goes into the living room, where she drizzles honey onto the cover of a book.
