续写：制作稻草人 主题 节俭的品格，创新创造 文本分析 - My mother believed in using things up（后文的铺垫，点明妈妈相信要把东西用完） Last year, our cornfield had a bad harvest because birds feasted on the crops. （我们今年的收成不好，因为鸟儿把庄稼当大餐吃了，为后文做稻草人做铺垫，） It was probably then that Mom's frugality（节俭） became even more extraordinary. She began keeping everything that seemed useless in the attic （阁楼）— worn-out clothes, old sheets, broken umbrellas, and some other old items.（妈妈收在阁楼的东西都是制作稻草人的原料，为后文乔希想到使用旧物品制作稻草人做铺垫） Mom's favorite saying was "waste not, want not".

"Waste not, want not," she called back down. We heard boxes being moved around. Moments later, Mom leaned out, holding a flour bag full of straw, and with a mysterious smile, she placed the hat on it. （妈妈想使用帽子做一个稻草人保护庄稼，过渡文章，为乔希想到使用之前的旧物品丰富稻草人做铺垫。） "What is that for? "I asked, confused. "A scarecrow! "Mom exclaimed. "But not a good one yet. It needs a strong body to stand firm in the field, she said with a frown. "And it doesn't look scary enough," Josh remarked.
