GRACE
-How do you think her life was like on the spaceship because everyone around her was frozen?
she said that she went to school so maybe there were more people, but she doesn't talk about other kids
-"never go to sleep on an argument" what do you think Hildy meant?
could be just be something she says, because my mom says that too, but maybe it's kind of hinting at what might have happened to Prentisstown.
-What do you think happened in Prentisstown, why is it called something else?
Something big must have happened there and they wanted to start over, and it is mayor Prentiss, so maybe HE tried to cover something else.
-Why do you think Todd was lied too about women?
I think all the kids know is that the germ killed the women, but maybe something happens and the truth comes out when they turn into men.
-Why does Matthew want to kill Todd?
It might be revenge thing because his mother died there, the whole town is responsible.
-What is the law he's talking about?
You loose your innocence when you turn into a man is something someone said sox maybe like I said before the truth comes out, and maybe they are more aware of war or something that could put Farbranch or the other settlements in danger
-Do you think Farbrach follows the 12 months or the 13 months
I think it's 13 because it's 13 months in New World, so I think that it's the whole world that follows 13 months.
-All the men from from Pretisstown are there, how do you think that they all came there?
They were following through on their plans just a little early, because the journal said that this was being planned for a long time.
-We think that the army is coming for Todd and Viola, but why did they keep on attacking the town and the houses?
Like I said before, they probably didn't tell the men that Todd ran away and they were just following through just a little early.
GABBI
pg. 166
Viola is talking to Todd, and he says hat history isn't important when you're tying to survive and Hildy says that that's when it
s most important.
That was an interesting thought because no one really thinks about this during history class per say.
pg. 168
lots of imagery, Matthew's noise is described using imagery.
pg. 188
good writing, and kinda cool, describing Viola.
pg. 109
something that happens a lot, Todd is fighting with Matthew, when Matthew lets Todd see something in his Noise, and this happened a lot, and we just never know what it is.
pg. 203
about to stab todd, and todd swings and cuts a rope that we didn't know was there. "It was bad writing" - Gabbi
pg. 218
good dialogue, when they get to the fork in the road, it was symbolism. they talk about how the left looks more travelled but the river flowed to the right.
pg. 223
it was cool how they described Viola's science.
OLIVIA
-The definition of "Haven" is a place of safety or refuge.
-The town is called Haven, and they are looking for it for that reason, because they believe it to be a place of safety or refuge.
-The crickets are chirping sex because the noise that crickets make is a mating call, so the Noise that they make is sex sex sex
-They might be on Mars because of the 2 moons which is also kind of cool because scientists say that Mars is the only other planet that could support
Hi Liv- you don't need to post word for word everything you guys say! Just summarize what your role was, what you prepared for your group, and what the best/most interesting parts of the discssions were in your group.
ReplyDeleteAlso, great ideas regarding the sections you chose
ReplyDeleteNext time your group is discussing questions, try to focus on literary elements instead of just content- look for examples of foreshadowing, symbols, motifs etc and try to start developing theme ideas.
