SU 18 10.6 Cloud Atlas

[Kate S]

Cloud Atlas and The Cloud Atlas both have weather terms in their titles. Read a book with a title including one of these weather words.

Please post any questions or suggestions about task 10.6 in this thread.

[Valerie]

In case I need this... Are plurals or possessives acceptable? (eg. suns or wind's)

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Yes, these are fine. We will accept some latitude on the list, but if you're unsure, please ask.

[Tien]

How about Our Sunshine?

Tien wrote: "How about Our Sunshine?"

Yes, we'll take that. (I don't know why that isn't on the list! Sometimes we have the forecast: abundant sunshine)

[Tien]

I know right, Sunshine is definitely a 'weather' word

Thank you :)

would Foggy Mountain Breakdown and Other Stories be acceptable?

[Lalitha]

Will The Torrents of Spring be considered?

Sorry, this is title does not contain any of the exact words or variations of the words on the list.

[Rebekah]

Would chilly work for this task? Chill is on the list

Yes, we will accept chilly (but not chili nor chile).

I have a tricky question. Now the title The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle does not refer to "wind" but technically has the word nevertheless. Would it work for this challenge?

No, because the word isn't wind with a short i, but wind with a long i. It's a heteronym - one of those funny English words that have two different pronunciations and different meanings.

Yes, I know :) was just trying my luck. I enjoy word puzzles. I did not know the technical term for such words....wind, tear, minute, wound...
