Today, we are going to read "Tuesday of the Other June" What do you think the title means?

“Be good, be good, be good, be good, my Junie,”

my mother sang as she combed my hair; a song,

a story, a croon,1

a plea. “It’s just you and me, two

women alone in the world, June darling of my

heart; we have enough troubles getting by, we

“Yes. You come to me. You just bring me your trouble, because I’m here on this earth to love you and

take care of you.”

I was safe with her. Still, sometimes I woke up at night and heard footsteps slowly creeping up the

stairs. It wasn’t my mother, she was asleep in the bed across the room, so it was robbers, thieves, and

hey there

use of language is very important in order to write in a good way. each literary genre has its different exploitation of language and, therefore, many differences and similarities can emerge. shakespeare's work (romeo and juliet) is a sample of a drama. its language is full of dialogue to describe the beauty of first love in people; everything it's pink color. it briefly describes fictional scenes and situations. on the other hand, the calypso borealis, by john muirs, it's narrative essay: its language is full of descriptions to describe an experience, a real experience. hyperbole is not used as in drama genre. he falls in love with discovering a real place and his direct feelings.
