QUESTION: How and why did Lee’s feelings about his ride on the orphan train change over time?
CLAIM: Lee’s feelings changed over time on his ride on the orphan train.
EVIDENCE 1: The text shows HOW Lee’s feelings changed. The text states, “Lee dreamed of the day he’d see his dad again” and “At night, Lee lay there with tears rolling down his cheeks” (Hill, 9 and 11).
CHOOSE ONE OF THESE FOR REASONING:
- This shows that Lee’s feelings changed from sad to happy.
- This shows HOW Lee’s feelings changed. Clearly, Lee’s feelings changed from happy dreams at first to extremely depressed near the end of the train trip.
- Lee loved being with his new family because they made him eat pigs.
EVIDENCE 2: The text also shows WHY Lee’s feelings changed. The author writes, “Now he’d lost his only connection to his father” (Hill, 11).
CHOOSE ONE OF THESE FOR REASONING:
- Lee is a big baby.
- He could not find the pink envelope which contained _____________________. This is why Lee was so sad and devastated.
