  1. 1. how the decisions they made affect them.
    2. ”I’ll swap you the gray ghost if you just go up and touch the house”. this means they like try to dare each other to go to the house.

  2. 1.)it begins with a decision they had to make
    2.)”Jem threw open the gate and sped to the side of the house, slapped it with his palm and ran back past us” this is the best because i used to do dares like this when i was younger.
    3.)the quotes were really good and the explanations too
    4.)it could be longer and a little more explanation with bigger words

  3. 1.) They made various decisions at the start of the paper.
    2.) ”The old house was the same, droopy and sick, but as we stared down the street we saw an inside shutter move”. The house hasn't changed.
    3.) Explained his quotes well.
    4.) More information for this paper, would make it better.

  6. 1. You started you essay with a good general statement
    2. ”Jem threw open the gate and sped to the side of the house, slapped it with his palm and ran back past us”. this was a good quote because we can tell exactly what he did to the house how he touched it.
    3. You had the quotes to do with what you were talking about during your essay.
    4. Put the page numbers on the quotes you used other wise you did fine :)
