The Red Land: Chapter 7

She charged towards the man. He raised his sword and blocked her knife.  He grabbed her arm and raised his sword and she screamed "HELP!"
Joey yelled "Hey!" to distract the man as I stabbed the man in the neck.  He let go of the girl and she kicked him onto the floor.  She grabbed the knife and stabbed him through his heart.  The man fell to the ground.
"Who are you?" I asked her.
"Victoria Helms" She answered.
"OK Victoria.  Who are they?" I pointed at the man.
"They're dead.  Cinder controls them." Victoria said.
"Who's Cinder?" I asked.
"My father." Victoria answered.

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter 
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
 by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they 
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may 
 be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my 
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
