Harris and Me Chapters 5-8
Chapters 5-8 : Harris shows the narrator the carved figures that Louie makes and the coats he makes for them out of mice’s skin. Harris believes everything is real, so he too can be Tarzan. The "Tarzan Leap" from the granary is a disaster because of the rooster, momentum, and pigs. The boys play "Red Indians" -lurking and shooting things, including Buzzer, with homemade bows and arrows. A trip to town is a big event with a never-ending reel of Gene Autry and orange pop for the kids, and music and drinking for the adults. Now Harris is Gene, saving rustlers by jumping onto Bill’s back; Bill reacts by kicking the "bejesus" out of him. Another "cinematic event" consists of riding Bob and shootings Knute’s shotgun. The boys end up on the ground, with the gun in two pieces, for which Harris persuades the boy to take the blame.

The one thing I would change is that instead of Bill kicking Harris backwards I would make Bill kick Harris up because I think it would be a lot funnier.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing I would change is............. instead of accidentally hitting Buzzer hit Ernie because I think that Harris would get a slappin.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing I would change is when the gun was in two pieces and the boys should of both took the blame for it.
ReplyDeleteI also think they both should take the blame for braking the gun because it would make it more interesting!!
ReplyDeleteOne thing that I would change is instead of the horse stepping on the gun that Harris had, step on Gary's gun.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I would change is I would make the rope break when Ernie jumps on it.
ReplyDeleteone thing I would change is The tarzan jump and have Gary jump too
ReplyDelete@makenna p. i would change that too.
ReplyDelete@melanie s. i would also change that part.
I would change the part where Harris crashes the bike and make him go farther down the road.
ReplyDeleteI would change that the scene with Buzzer would last longer. After he is done attacking harris he is so mad that he starts chasing after gary too.
ReplyDeleteI would change the part were Gary falls in love i would make it Harris falling in love not Gary
ReplyDeleteI would change the "tarzan leap" and instead of the whole accident with Earnie, I would make Earnie miss and hit the granary instead of the boys hitting the granary.
ReplyDeleteI would change the scene of when Harris and Louie go to bed and Louie threatenes Harris to be quiet.
ReplyDeletei would have Harris make the jump onto Bill but bill bucks him through the granery
ReplyDeleteone thing i would change is when they do the tarzan swing and instead of of the boys falling in the pig pen i would make ernie fall in it
ReplyDeleteThe thing I would change, is that Harris landed, on Bill, instead of getting kicked many times.
ReplyDeleteI like what Natalie G. said about how ernie should fall in the pig pen!! I also think they should all fall in and start a fight with the pigs and ernie!!:)
ReplyDeleteIn chapter ten i would have Harris be about to get the pictures when Gary grabs them and tears them up.
ReplyDeletei would change that glennis sees the pictures then they really get in some trouble
