Bolivia.The two boys had so much fun together,and they had never argued about anything.Now he knew that Derek had been right.Bolivia was fun,too,even if she was a girl and had been foisted on them.He hadnt been very fair to her when she first came to Woodside.But how could he explain to Derek that he had changed his mind?Probably now that Derek was back,Bolivia would go bike riding or swimming with him and Rory would just have to sit still and rest his toes.LA4Examples of Voice in“The Hot and Cold Summer”Writer ShowsRorys PersonalityWord Choicesshort,simple words seems like a real

Derek led the way.Rorys a bit of a worrier.He worried about whether Derek would still like him when he got back from camp.“He doesnt want to be my friend anymore,”Rory thought.“Youll probably want to go swimming,”he said to Derek,even though Derek was happy to sit with Rory and his broken toes.If Rory was my friend,I would tell him to watch carefully where he steps.Id help him talk to girls.If he

in two places.His poor toes hurt him because he had forgotten and stepped down hard on them a few minutes ago.The other hurt was in the pit of his stomach.It wasnt a stomachache exactly.It was the queasy feeling he had before an arithmetic test.But that was silly because it was still summer vacation and Rory didnt have to worry about arithmetic tests for weeks.Descriptive details about how Rory feels grab the readers attention.3373_Trans_Lang_Gr4_T1_RWC.indd LA83373_Trans_Lang_Gr4_T1_RWC.indd LA81/15/07 10:53:19 AM1/15/07 10:53:19 AMGrade 4,Theme 1 HarcourtReading-Writing
