In-class feedback (Verbatim)

Peer response to prompt questions by Shyana:

1. What does this Icon represent, according to the author?
It is a little unclear who your icon is because you talk about God and how you believe in the Bible, to your parents. So, I'm guessing the Icon is yourself?!? ...What it means to you personally.
2. Cite specific sections (sentences, phrases, quotes, etc.) of the writing that communicate the "big ideas(s)" that this Icon represents.
I like the way you relate to the Bible giving specific reasons why you feel the way you do about what God has commanded you to do.
3. What is the author's place in a continuum of American Icons?
He states in the last paragraph that the founding fathers stood up for what was right and did what they felt was right. So, he says that he will do the same by standing up for his hopes, dreams, and simply what's right!
4. Cite specific sections of the writing that communicate the author's place in the continuum of icons.
The last paragraph.
5. What is the "best" part of the writing so far? Why?
Like I said before, I like how he talks about a variation of things, but they all tie into how he knows his purpose and what he's going to do with that.
6. What is the most important next step for this author?
To make your icon a little more clear, but other than that it is Really good! Good Job!
