Rose-Johnny Assessment- First Hour Assignment

If you are a Service Learning student, please complete this assessment. Thoughtfully compose a response and post it on your blog. Thank you for your critical thinking and excellent writing!

Describe a significant lie or deception you maintained. In what ways was that experience similar to or different from the one Georgeann has? Is it an important life skill for us to learn to lie?


How did Rose-Johnny become Rose-Johnny? Who do you hold responsible for the burdens Rose-Johnny bears? What do you think becomes of her? What is her sickness?


What about this time period impacts how Georgeann thinks and learns, and also how others treat her? Provide specific examples from the book.

What did you like about this story and its message?

How might this story inspire a kind of community service?
