RRead this excerpt from Fever 1793. I lifted my skirts and ran ahead of Grandfather. An unnamed fear shot through me. My eyes filled with tears.

The first-person narration in this excerpt allows readers to

picture Mattie's grandfather.
understand Mattie's feelings.
imagine the style of Mattie's clothing.
understand how quickly Mattie can run.

"facing the rising sun of our new day begun

let us march on till victory is won.",

because the rising sun is a symbol of hope.

it’s important not to respond to the bully because doing so generally just escalates the problem.

tell a trusted adult about what is happening and save the evidence. you should also let your internet or cell phone provider know, along with the operator of the site if it is happening online.

if the bullying continues, notify the local police and consider consulting an attorney if it becomes serious.

school authorities may also become involved if it involves students on campus.

do you want me to proof read it?
