Because Curtis know Lateesha was very like the tomatoes and he planted the tomatoes right by the sidewalk. He want Lateesha saw the tomatoes and show his was waiting for her.It was very romantic. When the tomatoes grow up, he was kept looking up at Lateesha's window and want her can see the tomatoes. But he didn't see Lateesha.It was frustening for him.
ReplyDeleteI think that maybe his mood is frustrating because he cannot see Lateesha response to him. He is waiting for her.

DeleteIn Curtis' chapter, Curtis' goal is to plant tomatoes to make Lateesha love him again to be a couple. The mood fits with his goal is romantic because he remembers that Lateesha very loves tomatoes and plants tomatoes to show his real love to Lateesha. For example, he wants Lateesha to see the tomatoes so he chooses a spot closed to the sidewalk. In order to avoid thief, he hires a boy to protect the tomatoes at night. In addition, he paints a sign "Lateesha's Tomatoes" facing the sidewalk. At the end, Lateesha looks at the sign.
ReplyDeleteTherefore, Curtis' mood is romantic to take an action to show his love to Lateesha.
I'm agree with you because Curtis tried his best restoring his relationship with Lateesha even if in the chapter doesn't say if he could get or not.
DeleteI agree with, because he wants fix their relationship. That's show he can do everything for her. He is very romantic guy.
DeleteCurtis commitment to the garden shows his readiness to commit to Lateesha. He chose the spot that would be easily seen by her and he went through the trouble into finding someone that watch his tomatoes at night. Everything he did, he did for Lateesha.
DeleteYes, I agree with you. I thought Curtis was very sincere to love Lateesha. He had recognize his mistake and want to save Lateesha.
ReplyDeleteCurtis is an athletic guy who has a good body shape. In his chapter the goal is to restore the relationship that he had with Lateesha five years ago. The mood that fits with his goal is romantic and sorrowful. It is romantic because curtis knew that Lateesha loves tomatoes because when she was a little kid her aunt had tomatoes in her garden and Lateesha wanted to grow 'em someday and that's why Curtis decided to grow them up for her to show up that he didn't forget the things that she loves.
ReplyDeleteIt is sorrowful because Curtis wanted to get Lateesha's love again but she didn't want because Curtis made a lot of mistakes in the past so Lateesha is worry about it, at the end of the chapter it doesn't say if Curtis could restore Lateesha's love so I assume that the end is sad. Actually I think that the chapter is incomplete because it has to have a ending either if it is good or bad but until here it is sad.
I agree with Curtis is very romantic guy, but there's not sorrowful. However, Curtis sees Lateesha watching out her window at the new sign. So, that means he catches her attention.
DeleteIn Curtis' chapter, Curtis goal is to show Lateesha he can plant tomato and he love she, he wanted her forgive. The mood of Curtis is romantic, because he plant the tomato to Lateesha was wanted she could know that he love her and he could do it very well. From the evident the tomato's leaf had some hole he took it away, then somebody stole the big tomato, he hired a boy to looked for it at night. The most important thing is why does he just plant the tomato, its he wanted to showed Lateensha he love her, he would plant it just because she love to eat.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Curtis is very romantic guy and he is very thoughtful. However, he showed how he loves her and he wants forgiveness from her. Also he want to back her love.

ReplyDeleteCurtis is a sportsman and his body like an athletic. Curtis has a goal he wants his ex-girlfriend Lateesha to love him again. His mood romantic and happiness. The romantic mood is he still loves his ex-girlfriend and he wants back to her love. After he starts to think about what she likes so much, but he remembered Lateesha loves so much tomato. So, Curtis went to buy tomato plants and he found the place for plant, because that place is the good to view for Leteesha. He wants Leteesha to see the tomatoes and that reason he chooses good view so she will able to see from the window. Also, he asking from the neighbor how to preserve plant good and healthy. So, his tomatoes are starting to grow up, but one time he sees missing tomatoes. Then at nighttime he guards tomatoes and he protects only for Lateesha. Second mood happiness: However, the wonderful thing happens, because Curtis seems Lateesha watching out her window at the new sign. That's show he catches the Lateesha's attention a little bit. In my opinion, there's not have any sad mood because Curtis is the romantic guy and at the end of the chapter he catches the attention of Lateesha.
ReplyDeleteCurtis's goal was to plant the tomatoes to make his ex girlfriend comes back. The mood of this chapter is little romantic...because after he knows that Lateesha loves the tomato, he decides to plant on the garden and stops to work out the body sharp...He wants Lateesha to know he still loves her.
ReplyDeleteIn Curtis's chapter, it begins by telling the back story of Curtis. He lost his girlfriend because he was not ready to settle down and commit to one person. Years passed and Curtis is now ready to settle down. Curtis's goal is to show how much he loves Lateesha and wants her to love him again. The mood of his story is optimistic and romantic. He remembers Lateesha loves tomatoes, so he planted six tomatoes in the garden and hope that she will notice them. Curitis put his heart into planting the tomatoes to show that he still loves her very much and to show that he is ready to commit to a real relationship.
ReplyDeleteAs we see, Curtis is a man who likes to play sports and his body like an athletic. Curtis has an objective he needs his ex Lateesha to love him once more. His temperament sentimental and satisfaction. The sentimental temperament is despite everything he adores his ex and he needs back to her adoration. After he begins to consider what she prefers so much, yet he recollected Lateesha cherishes so much tomato. In this way, Curtis went to purchase tomato plants and he found the spot for plant, since that spot is the great to see for Leteesha. He needs Leteesha to see the tomatoes and that reason he picks great view so she will ready to see from the window. Likewise, he asking from the neighbor how to safeguard plant great and solid. Along these lines, his tomatoes are beginning to grow up, yet one time he sees missing tomatoes. At that point at evening he monitors tomatoes and he ensures just for Lateesha. Second temperament satisfaction: However, the magnificent thing happens, in light of the fact that Curtis appears Lateesha keeping an eye out her window at the new sign. That is show he gets the Lateesha's consideration a tad bit. As I would like to think, there's not have any tragic disposition since Curtis is the sentimental person and toward the end of the part he gets the consideration of Lateesha.
ReplyDeleteIn Curtis' chapter, Curtis's goal is make Lateesha know he still love her. The mood of Curtis is sincere and romantic. Curtis remember what is Lateesha like to do, sometimes, the small details will make girls feel romantic. For example, Curtis crop the tomato to make food for Lateesha. "Stopped to calling me Ceps. Starting in calling me tomato." By this sentence I dentifrice Curtis the life a little bit different than before, he use more time to grow up the tomatoes and show to Lateesha he still love her.
ReplyDeleteIn Curtis' chapter, Curtis goal is wants Lateesha come back to his side to love he again. The mood of Curtis is romantic. Because He plant the tomato for Lateesha that He know her very like eat the tomato. Curtis was careful to take care of the tomato. He hired a boy to looked for it at night when he know someone stole his tomato. He wants to show he was still waiting for her, love her and he can do it will.

ReplyDeleteCurtis's goal was to plant the tomatoes to make Lateesha which was his ex girlfriend love him again. He planted the tomatoes for her girlfriend because she loved them. Curtis's mood is romantic.
ReplyDeleteCurtis was a kind of athletic and his goal was to be forgiven by Lateesha.The moods of this chapter was Romantic,sentimental. Curtis as changed like a plant because he knew that he had a perfect shape body but he wasn't care about it. He considered his shape body like a fantasm and tried to fight for what he almost lost.A quick thought as came to his mind,he remembered that Lateesha loved tomato as she loved herself. " Curtis wasn't a Romeo who loved Juliette so much , was seperated from their difference classes and ready to sacrifice his self for his own love." Instead of this sacrifice,Curtis came home with six little tomato plants in plastic containers because she lived straight accross the street from the garden. So, he staked out a spot right by the sidewalk,whereshe could look down and see it.He asked the neighbors how to preserve plant good and healthy.He was focus in his goal and didn't care about what haters said.He painted a sign that said " Lateesha's tomatoes.Curtis captured her attention as behind that lace curtain ,there was her face ,staring down the sign.
ReplyDeleteInference to curtis ,he was such kind a great man,he has tried the impossible to possible.
I am totally agree with your perspective because he was trying to catch her attention by making tomatoes growing up.
DeleteHe was such a romantic guy. He cared only about catching Lateesha's attention.
DeleteIn Curtis chapter i noticed that Curtis has a goal.. It was to make Lateesha fall in love with him. Even though Lateesha did not want to talk with me.. But he keep trying. He decided to plant tomatoes in front of Lateesha's house because he knew that She was addicted to. The mood that fits with his goal is romantic because as we can see in the book he was trying to get Lateesha, so he planted tomatoes because he knew that she liked it.
ReplyDeleteHe wanted to do anything in order to get Lateesha..
I'm 100% agree with you. Because in whatever the case if you want a girl to fell I love with you, you suppose to show her that you love her. It's a part of romantic life.
DeleteYou totally right my friend, I strongly agree with you. No matter what a girl have done to you, you have to do whatever is necessary in order to get their forgiveness.
DeleteAs we can see in curstis chapter he has a goal and his goal was that Lateesha forgive him and fall in love with him again. Lateesha was his girlfriend and he knows what can make her happy. So he plant a tomato in front of Lateesha's house because he knows that she won't be able to see that and just run away. The mood is romantic because curstis show her that he is ready to sacrifice his self to be in relationship with Lateesha once again.
ReplyDeleteI think Curtis goal is turn Lateesha's heart back on him. The romantic mood is fit to this story because Curtis do it by plant tomato front of her house. Lateesha really like eat sandwich with tomato. If she see the sigh front the tomato she will know it is Curtis did and return the mind.
ReplyDeleteIn Curtis chapter, his goal was to get together with this passionate girl that he loved so much which is Lateesha. In my opinion, Curtis was being a jerk by not being affectionate towards her, and things shouldn't be like this at all. So Curtis didn't have any other choice than to start planting tomatoes in front of Lateesha's house. so that was the only way he could get her forgiveness.
ReplyDeleteThe mood that fits with this event is "Romantic", why I think so it's because he left his comfort zone to try and receive her forgiveness.
