-Kamaria Anderson || (include historical, geographical, physical context) ||  One Forty- Four most likely took place in Florida. I say this because in the beggining of the story Fredda Kay mentioned how "the August heat from the Tallahassee tar road" melted them down. The beggining of the story takes place during late evening. For the most part the story takes place at night. In the story the two girls are at Fredda Kay's house, and at the 7- Eleven, right off JimBo Road. -Kamaria Anderson || -Kamaria Anderson || (in addition to character traits, label as dynamic, static, flat, or round) || The main Characters in this short story (from most-least important) are Fredda Kay, Janine, Dave, Jerry, Janine's father, and Fredda Kay's mother. -Kamaria Anderson ||
 * Themes || The theme of this short story (One Forty- Four) from my perspective is that when you abandon your morals, there are consequences that follow. For example when Janine tryed to express to Fredda Kay the fact that she disagreed with being so revealing, Freddie Kay pretty much blew her off telling her it would be okay as long as you're safe. In regard to Janine ignoring her values, she was almost rapped by her father. That's why i feel that if you believe in something then go for it no matter what, rather than being a hypocrite. - Kamaria Anderson ||
 * Plot || One Forty-Four is about two girls, Fredda Kay and Janine, who are best friends. Janine is a smart, quiet, party animal with extremely strict parents, and Fredda Kay is a soft spoken, censervative young lady. One night Janine spends the night with Fredda Kay (whose mom drinks liquer) and gets the wild idea to sneak into Fredda Kay's mothers' liquor cabinet and get drunk. Janine is the first to get wasted, and Fredda Kay finally came around. The two girls snuck out of the house and went to a nearby gas station, where they had planned on meeting two of their guy friends. Fredda Kay and Janine finally spotted their friends (Dave and Jerry) and were off to pleasant start.. that is until Janine's dad came up to the car and knocked on the window. He took her up the street to the office complex that he worked at and began touching her inappropriately. Just then Fredda Kay came up the hill and couldn't believe what she saw. Not wanting to be seen she ran back down the hill calling for Janine acting like she hadn't saw a thing. -Kamaria Anderson ||
 * Point of View || This story is in first person point of view. One of the main characters, Fredda Kay is telling the story. She explains everything that took place in the story through her point of view.
 * Setting
 * Style || The style of this story is very unique. It is extremely organized making it easy to follow along. Each paragraph flows into the next rather than jupming from idea to idea causing the reader to loose focus. Ryals captures her readers by using "catchy" phrases which causes the reader to want to endulge itself into the story. -Kamaria Anderson ||
 * Tone || In this story the tone is very serious, but not too serious. She is trying to express what happened step by step, without being so serious that you are bored. In other words her tone is serios, but yet "cool" enough to keep the reader at the edge of their seat.
 * Language || The language expressed in this story is informal with a little slang. She uses humerous phrases to express things in a sort of code. For example of informal language, instead of saying something was gross or unacceptable, they would say "that's a one forty- four" (which is where the title comes from). The use of slang is used quite a bit. The most obvious phrases are the ones with the curse words. For example, "Your mom's full of shit". -Kamria Abnderson ||
 * Symbolism || I think that Janine's dad almost rapping her was a real "eye- opener". It symbolizes how when you do things to affect your ability to make the right decision, consequences follow. I feel that with every bad decision comes a consequence, therefore if you don't make the wrong choice you won't have to worry about a consequence, but a reward. -Kamaria Anderson ||
