1)Pg. 25 Par. 1
ě ëOh, Iíll never learn,í howled Big Anthony, ëIíll never learn.
Oh, Strega NonaóStrega Nonaówhat have I done to you?î
What is the authorís purpose for including this section?
I think the author included it because it is really funny to see Anthony
dressed as a girl and worried about Strega Nona when we can see her hiding
behind the wall.
2)Pg. 14 Par. 1
ěOh, Strega Nona, said a tall girl, standing there. All my life
Iíve wanted to learn your magic. Will you teach me?î
What mood does the author try to create by including the section of
Anthony being a girl?
I feel the author wants to lighten the mood and make the audience laugh.
This part would really appeal to children.
