 * Point of View || Tamara: The Point of view for this story is Dorinda’s point of view. Dorinda is the little girl who saves her horse, well basically she is narrator, the main character, and it’s all her point of view. This means that she, Dorinda is telling the story from her perspective.So,the perspective would be 1st person,which means the narrator is the main character and refers themself as "I". The narrator is sort of reliable because she sounds like a older girl.The narrator could also be naive she is not quite of an adult but I feel that she could be more reliable than naive because of how her tone and language sounds. ||

 * Language || Tamara: The language of this story is informal language because it’s a type of slang, but basically it’s just everyday speech. The language is just English you pick up and not really learn. Some examples are the following: " Y'all knock it off," pg.25, "He ain't throwed you yet?" pg.28, "Best not be asking too many questions,Doctor Emily,". These quotes all help you have a better understanding of the informal language in this story. This quotes all show a type of slang or a unique kind of talk. ||

 * Characters

The narrator, Dorinda, tells the story to the reader. She is a reliable narrator because she tells the reader what happens truthfully. She isn't naive, because she knows what's happening with her parents. She's a round character, but also a static character, because she is the main character, but she doesn't change at the end of the story. || (include historical, geographical, physical context) || Kamaria: A Messy Job I Never Did See a Girl Do took place in a small country town. Three young girls lived in an old house which was in terrible condition. Surrounding the house was a large barn, and an overgrown backyard. || In this story Dorinda felt as though her life had no meaning, that she was drowning. She couldn't do anything for herself or others in her own way.She felt as though she was told to do everything and had no way of expressing herself.Dorinda felt as though her family didn't love her because from what I could tell they did not respect her or take her seriously and that made a big impact on her and how she lived her life.If she hadn't been treated the way she had then she wouldn't have found other interests or things to love.To me this story also shows how she grew because as the story goes on she begins to show more independence and maturity, there was only one thing she felt she could call her own,that made her feel loved and that was the horse and when she took him to a better place(the vet;Ms.Emily)she was able to do something for herself someone else.She was able to breathe.I feel as though the tone of this story is love because the young girl is searching for love and has found it in her horse.

All through the story, Dorinda felt anger and her voice around people who she wasn't comfortable with, for example her dad, was always kind of angry. Around Her Horse, Loki, she would be diffrent with him and he would be diffrent with her. Dorinda really never had a good relationship with her parents or anyone in the town for what they did to other animals. The only thing she ever trusted was her Horse, and Loki trusted her back. After the incident with her Dad trying to kill Loki, Dorinda builded a bigger hatred for him. She was down towards the end of the story mainly because she was giving Loki up, but i guess that it was all for a better reason. || The sentences in the story used informal language (which is mostly slang), and the writer was talking in the story as of words you don't hear in correct grammar sentences today in everyday life.Some examples of this would be"Ya'll Knock it off","Un huh",and " He tried to break you Daddy's neck" || (in addition to character traits, label as dynamic, static, flat, or round) || Kelly:
 * Diana:**
 * Language || Shanice
 * Symbolism || Tameeka:The story symbolises Anger/Companionship. Dorinda has a very strong relationship with her horse Loki. He is her "relief" for what is happening at home. Also, Dorinda seems to be feeling a lot of anger at her mother for letting her father abuse her and for covering up her scars whenever her father hits her so she really needs something or someone to relieve in. ||
