How to write a response 2 HHG2G
Created | Updated Mar 5, 2004
For an L.A project,in a gifted grade 8 class, I am required to come up with a creative way to respond to Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. I have decided to do with by helping any interested persons out there do the same thing. So here is how I would recommend writing a A-level response.
The first step of an accurate response has to be a little bit of retell, althouth this is frounded upon in the mature stage of grade 8, the person marking it need to understand the story, so they can understand your personal reflections. That is a complicated way of saying that you can very easily do a retell without your teacher even knowing you did it.
"As Aruthur Dent is immediatly escorted off the earth, at an alarming rate, he is in comlete amazment. How could one of his good friends be a alien? Is there really many different races of intergalatic civilizations out there? He aboard a complictaed flying saucer being whisked away from everything he knows at light-speed."
To make an accurate reflection, you should try to make a direct link to ones self and your own own experiences. When the novel your connecting to yourslef's main plot line is the destruction of the earth, this may seem fairly impossible. However this is really not the case, at least in my opinion. For axample I would write something along the lines of:
"The absolute demoltion of the human race may seem impossible to connect a personal experience to, but I think that this can be simplified into the destruction of anything. I found I could relate to this when one of my soccer teams had to be abondonded because of money. I was then put on a team with people I did not know, in a place I was not firmilar with. I think many of the feelings Aruther Dent was having, I to was also dealing with, just at a smaller level. The sense of abandonment, misunderstanding, and later on anger, were all present."
I am sure everyone out there has something along those lines they could relate to.
Since I am only responding to the first section of the book, I will end it there, but you get the picture. That I belive is the beginning to an accurate portrayal of one of the most comical, enchanting, comlpetely amzing storys ever written.
(P.S- I am a newbie, so feel free to start any conversation you want, and/or reply to this, as it would be much aprreciated so I can get to know the system of things. I anyone out there does repond in a positive manner, I will feel obligated to write something similar for the rest of the book)
