The story Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy has some similarities and differences to Confronting a Challenge. One difference is that Turner was afraid that he wasn’t going to be able to get his friend to safety, but he got power by summoning it from with-in by staring into the eyes of the whales. The text Lizzie Bright states “Even though he was as hungry and thirsty as he had been before the whales , he was not at all as tired.” They are similar because in both stories they have to complete something they are new to, for Turner it is rowing, and for Challenge Boy it is skating. The text Lizzie Bright states “You ever row a boat before? Not until today.” The text Challenge states “I’d been on the ice only a couple of times, when I was much younger.” In Confronting a Challenge he drew courage from a story where explorers went to the arctic which is much colder than Minnesota and also from a figure skater he saw always trying hard. The text challenge states “I read a chapter in my textbook about Rober Peary, a Caucasian man, and Matthew Henson, an African-AMerican, who explore the arctic together in 1909.” Then finally he achieved his goal and was learning how to skate. In the end he was chosen for an ice hockey team, and had new friends including Ben. The text challenge states “I tried out and was chosen for a team.” The themes of both stories are similar because, the theme is that if you overcome your fears and summon power from something, you can transform and change, and accomplish anything.

There are many similarities and differences in the stories. For an example of a similarity they both encounter hard and scary challenges. In the story, ̈Lizzie Bright ̈ Turners challenge is that he needs to row Lizzie to where she needed to be and he had never rowed a boat before so he was scared. In the story, ̈Confronting a Challenge ̈ Narrator Boy broke his wrist while trying to play ice hockey so he is afraid to go back on the ice, so that was his challenge. An example of a difference would be that they both faced very different challenges. In the first text the problem was way more serious because in the second text the Narrator Boy just was to scared to go back on the ice after he broke his wrist. While in the first text, Turner needs to row the dory as fast as he can to get her where she needs to go to save her life. In the end both of these stories have similarities and differences but both Narrator Boy and Turner faced their fears.

But in the end they both faced their fears and Turner was no longer afraid of rowing the boat and not making it in time once he looked into the eyes of the whale and the narrator was getting better with hockey and found out it wasn't scary anymore. One difference is that they were afraid of different things, one was hockey and one was rowing the boat and not making it in time.
Giselle, In the stories “Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy” and “Confronting a Challenge” they have some similarities and differences. Tuner and Narrator of challenge both have something in common, Tuner is trying to get Lizzie somewhere and the boy is trying to confront a challenge for ice hockey. They are both trying to solve a challenge so that is a simile in both stories. A difference is that the boy is doing ice hockey and Tuner is riding a boat that is doesn't really use the boat that much so he doesn't know how to use it that much, he is still trying to get Lizzie to her grandads house. In concluding they both have similarities and differences.
There are many similar and difference in the story. He lived in Minnesota then he moved to Arctic. When he moved in Arctic he found a hockey team that he joins. It was his first time playing hockey so he needs practice. When I finished reading I made a pact with myself. The next day I used some money I had earned shoveling snow to buy myself some brand new skates. Instead, every time I went down, I just picked myself up and started over again. During my second lesson, I’d fallen and broken my wrist, and after that , I’d vowed never to put on ice skates again.Edwin

One of the similarities is that they both are scared of doing something. In the story Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster lizzie is scared to ride the bout and in the story Confronting a challenge the boy was scared to play ice hockey in the beginning of the story. Something that is also a challenge is they both have complete a challenge / fear. Also at the end of the story Confronting a challenge they boy says I tried out and was chosen for a team.

By:Luciana How are the texts, “Confronting a Challenge” and “Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy,” similar? How are they different?
Both texts, “Confronting a Challenge” and “Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy,” are similar in many ways. One way they are similar is that both main characters have a problem of trying something they have never done. Another thing they have in common is that both stories end when the main characters confront their fears. I know this because in the story,”Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy,” it states, “ ‘You ever row a boat before?’ Turner hesitated. He wondered if being on the swan boats in the Public Garden counted and figured that probably it didn’t. ‘Not hardly.’ ” And, “ His arms felt strong. There was no panic in him.” In the text, “Confronting a Challenge,” it states, “During my second lesson, I’d fallen and broke my wrist, and after that, I’d vowed never to put on ice skates again.” And, “I tried out and was chosen for a team.By the end of the season, not only was I part of a winning team, but I also had a group of friends, including Ben.”
The story “ Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy” and “ Confronting A Challenge” are similar, but they are also different. Both of the characters faced a challenge. Both get inspired and encourages them to try harder. Both also have limited knowledge on how to do what they did. Like Turner, with the small boat , and the narrator with ice skating. Both of the characters are changed, they are different than they were in the beginning of the story. These are the similarities. Now for the differences. In “ Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy”, it shows a more old time period, while in “ Confronting A Challenge”, it seems more modern. They also have a different plot, in “ Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy”, Turner has to row the boat quickly, to get Lizzie to safety because she got injured, while in “ Confronting A Challenge”, the narrator does not know how to ice skate and is ashamed to show it. In “ Confronting A Challenge”, it is a cold climate while in “ Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy “, it is summer, which means it is a hotter climate. Isaac
The stories Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy and Confronting a Challenge have similarities and differences. A first difference is that Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy is in third person, told by a narrator. Meanwhile, Confronting a Challenge is set in first person, told by the person who had the experience.

ReplyDeleteSome similarities are, first, that they both got courage and actually did what they needed to. Turner got courage from the whales and the narrator in Confronting a Challenge got courage, or inspiration, from explorers called Robert Peary and Matthew Henson. He also gets courage from the figure skater on the ice. A second similarity is that they are both afraid, but become better at the end. In the text of Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy, it says, “His arms felt strong. There was no panic in him. He had looked into the eyes of a whale.” In Confronting a Challenge, it says, “By the end of the season, not only was I part of a winning team, but I also had a new group of friends, including Ben.”

ReplyDeleteIn “challenges” the narrator was afraid of ice hockey because his first practice he broke his wrist. He went to a pond and saw a girl practice ice skating over and over again until she got the move right. After a couple of days she did! The narrator read a passage about how a caucasion man and mathhew henson explored the antarctic. After these 2 people the narrator went on the ice and kept practicing his turns and how to glide.

In the two stories ``Lizzie Bright’’ and ``Confronting a Challenge’’ there are many similarities and differences, for example, Turner was afraid of one of the whales going to go below the boat and flip it over and in ``Confronting a Challenge’’ the narrator was afraid of the sport hockey because when he tried it the narrator fell and broke their wrist. But in the end they both faced their fears and Turner was no longer afraid of rowing the boat and not making it in time once he looked into the eyes of the whale and the narrator was getting better with hockey and found out it wasn't scary anymore. One difference is that they were afraid of different things, one was hockey and one was rowing the boat and not making it in time.

Giselle,
ReplyDeleteIn the stories “Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy” and “Confronting a Challenge” they have some similarities and differences. Tuner and Narrator of challenge both have something in common, Tuner is trying to get Lizzie somewhere and the boy is trying to confront a challenge for ice hockey. They are both trying to solve a challenge so that is a simile in both stories. A difference is that the boy is doing ice hockey and Tuner is riding a boat that is doesn't really use the boat that much so he doesn't know how to use it that much, he is still trying to get Lizzie to her grandads house. In concluding they both have similarities and differences.
There are many similar and difference in the story. He lived in Minnesota then he moved to Arctic. When he moved in Arctic he found a hockey team that he joins. It was his first time playing hockey so he needs practice. When I finished reading I made a pact with myself. The next day I used some money I had earned shoveling snow to buy myself some brand new skates. Instead, every time I went down, I just picked myself up and started over again. During my second lesson, I’d fallen and broken my wrist, and after that , I’d vowed never to put on ice skates again.Edwin

ReplyDeleteThere are many similarities and differences to conforti a change. In the stories Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy and Confronting a challenge. One of the similarities is that they both are scared of doing something. In the story Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster lizzie is scared to ride the bout and in the story Confronting a challenge the boy was scared to play ice hockey in the beginning of the story. Something that is also a challenge is they both have complete a challenge / fear. Also at the end of the story Confronting a challenge they boy says I tried out and was chosen for a team. By the end of the season, not only was I part of the winning team.
There are many similarities and differences in these stories.

In the story Turner did not know how to do something and did his best and made it and also the boy. And Confronting a challenge is first person and Lizzie Bright is third person . They both had motive to keep going in Confronting a challange his motive is a little girl doing figure skating because she kept on falling and she made it and he got courge.And Turner his motive is the whales to get back to shore.Confronting a challnge is better because the story is more interisting and it is first person.

ReplyDeleteHow are the texts, “Confronting a Challenge” and “Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy,” similar? How are they different?
Both texts, “Confronting a Challenge” and “Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy,” are similar in many ways. One way they are similar is that both main characters have a problem of trying something they have never done. Another thing they have in common is that both stories end when the main characters confront their fears. I know this because in the story,”Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy,” it states, “ ‘You ever row a boat before?’ Turner hesitated. He wondered if being on the swan boats in the Public Garden counted and figured that probably it didn’t. ‘Not hardly.’ ” And, “ His arms felt strong. There was no panic in him.” In the text, “Confronting a Challenge,” it states, “During my second lesson, I’d fallen and broke my wrist, and after that, I’d vowed never to put on ice skates again.” And, “I tried out and was chosen for a team.By the end of the season, not only was I part of a winning team, but I also had a group of friends, including Ben.”
The story “ Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy” and “ Confronting A Challenge” are similar, but they are also different. Both of the characters faced a challenge. Both get inspired and encourages them to try harder. Both also have limited knowledge on how to do what they did. Like Turner, with the small boat , and the narrator with ice skating. Both of the characters are changed, they are different than they were in the beginning of the story. These are the similarities. Now for the differences. In “ Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy”, it shows a more old time period, while in “ Confronting A Challenge”, it seems more modern. They also have a different plot, in “ Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy”, Turner has to row the boat quickly, to get Lizzie to safety because she got injured, while in “ Confronting A Challenge”, the narrator does not know how to ice skate and is ashamed to show it. In “ Confronting A Challenge”, it is a cold climate while in “ Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy “, it is summer, which means it is a hotter climate. Isaac
