No Humba Jumba
is any one else following this ? i dont see any relation between the introduction and chapters 1 and 2. i enjoyed the intro, it was cute and had alot of fun figurerative lines, but from intro to chapter one just seems like going from a exciting narrative whimsical chronical to a complicated monotonous history text book. i need help

First of all Steph, I love the title of your comment! Second, I think that the introduction kinda explains what Ms. Deckard is going to talk about in her story...but I feel like the chapters jump around a lot, but I don't know, I could just not be following it as well as I should. I think that we need to go through the story as a class and talk about it.
i think the intro is supose to give the reader a a brief background of mardi gras indians and what the story will be like(hints the name intro) and i think since new orleans, the city and its culture, is such a big influence on the ways of the mardi gras indieans and their costums she feels the need to talk about the city in the intro.
i need help with pulling out just the important facts and dates because there are so many of them i dont want to be studyign the wrong things
I agree with Stephanie. I like the intro but i don't see how it related to the other chapters. I think its interesting but its confusing because of all the different dates and names. I don't know what dates are important and what ones are not..
Please, please, please annotate your packets if you have questions or critiques and give them back to me - this will help me to make the book clearer. Also, if you find typos you can circle them for me.
Kayla, look at the timeline too, that has lots of important stuff. 1st times things happen are usually important. Also, changes in ownership of Louisiana.
i understand the idea of an intro but because the book is all facts and history i don't understand the need for the intro, and it doesn't really make anything clearer to me
idk i kinda like the idea of having an intro even though it is a history book. i agree that there is a major difference in writing style between the intro and the rest of the book though, and im not sure if it fits.
