A+Place+in+the+sun+Test

Good job on the Place in the Sun test. You can raise your grade from a 91 to a 96 by fixing/answering the below responses--marked by me--that did not earn full credit. Go for a 96, please!
=== 8/8 1. The negative personality trait senmut has is, he is very impatient. For example he wrote “He sould not wait for 'one day'. Wait for the parade wait for his own stone. Wait, wait, wait. Senmut was sick of waiting." This means he was very impatient and could not wait when he needed to wait. This trait made him selfish, he did not care about what he needed to do. He wanted to do what he wanted to do. The positive personality trait Senmut has is excitement. For example, he wrote, "Stone never failed to excite him. Marble, granite, limestone.. they all played their magic on Senmut, tingling with life in his hands." This made him happy and when he had stone he was never sad. ===

** 8/8 ** 2. The positive personality trait shown by Senmut is love. In this passage Senmut loved his Father so much, and he did not want his father to die, and the thought this happened because of his own selfishness. In this passage, her wrote. "Senmut stood in front of the alabaster, his legs spread wide, his fists pressed to his waist. Father can't die. He just can't. A new thought pierced Senmut, It prickled him with shame. I wanted this stone. This stone belonged to Father I wanted it. I wished for it. I betrayed father with my own selfishness." This showed he loved and cared about his Father. This also shows that he is emotionally growing as a person.

6/8 What decision does he make in response to Menkh's question? 3.Senmut shows selflessness or unselfishness by caring about finishing the statue to heal his father. He wrote, "I must finish it first. I don't know if my father lives or not. But I must do what I can." Senmut is being unselfish or selfless about if he lives or dies. He just wants to make sure his father lives.

8/8 4. The personal or emotional strength Senmut shows is care. Senmut cared about Menkh so much he threatened to shatter the statue. Senmut is being "very brave" by standing up to the guard and the Governor saying, " I'll smash it, I swear by Amun. Let him go." Senmut was very brave because he knew he could die or get seriously injured just by threatening to smash the statue, but he cared for Menkh almost as much as he cared about his dad.

3/8 What effect did the statue have...? 5. Senmut pleased the pharaoh and his son, Merneptah with his statue of the healing god. Senmut pleased them and they made him apprentice to the Royal Sculptor. Finally Ramses II gave him a place in the royal tomb to watch over Merneptah for eternity.

8/8 8. What the Pharaoh means when he says "Senmut shall have his place in the sun," is that Senmut has found the place where he belonged.

12/12 9. In the beginning Senmut was impatient and selfish, then he met Mankh and was making a statue to heal his dad, then he threatened to ruin the Governor's chance to find his "place in the sun." Then he was rewarded be the Pharaoh because the statue healed the Pharaoh's son Merneptah. He changed from an impatient person to a patient sculptor.
