I wonder how mad they would be if he liked one of them and not the other.

Why do they put black paint on your neck and put the chinese symbols for tiger and pig and write the names in english under the chinese symbols to help your neck feel better? That is just plain weird!

Sion,

It said that it was tiger. I don't know what tiger means like that. But maybe it was some kind of magic. Or magic potion?

Why did they sleep on the cold dark hard floor instead of the parents giving them a room to sleep in? That sounds kind of bad and also mean for the parents to do that! I mean would you like it? Take your pick. NO really write back to me the next time you write about the story.


room or floor?

I think that Pacy wants Teddy to be her friend more than Melody's friend.

Anonymous said...

Sion,
What is excactly um how do i say it ...oh yeah ABSES?

Anonymous said...

Teddy might like Sophie and they probably don't know. Why I think he might like Sophie is because when a guy likes a girl he plays with other girls but maybe it's someone else who the guy likes.

Anonymous said...

I think that teddy likes Sophie because if he dosen't seem to like here then he probly does like her he dosen't want anyone to notice

He had brown-blond hair the color of sand,and blue eyes like a rainy sky.Simile.(P.47)

I think it was cool when Pacy's neck started to hurt grandma helped heal it by painting the symbol of the tiger and the pig.The tiger chasing the pig.

I guess sense teddy didn't like
nether of them that they have
nothing to fuss about.

Sion,

That's very cool to. But when something hurts on me. I just either ignore it, shake it off or just take some medicine.

Sion, I don`t think much of a fight is going to come to anyone in this book. Okay.

Anonymous said...

Elijah,

Yes. LARRY Fitzgerald is a good wide reciever for the Arizona Cardinals. And he signed a 4 year contract with th Cardinals today when we were in school.

Bailey,

I agree with Sion. Because the book said that for once they didn't know what to say to each other. And they both like that guy so so much that they may even may fight over him. He's gonna have to pick one. But like it said in the BOOK a person came up to Melody and Grace and said that Teddy likes Sophie and they were probally heart broken. And they might come up with a plan to get Teddy back. But that means that Melody and Grace would have to compete with eachother and if paths cross like that.And they both like the guy so so very much. They may fight over him.

Bailey,

At the end of that chapter it wasn't mooshy gooshy. Plus we still have like 9 or 10 chapters left in the book. I don't think that part will go on for that long. Or will it.

Sion,

You're right. NO DUH. They all go googly eyed over 1 boy. I could tell that easy. Even when they show it on their face I maybe could.

Bobby

Anonymous said...

I was right on my prediction. That if Teddy doesn't look at the girl he likes. And if the girl catches Teddy looking at him all the time. Then he'd probally be embarrassed.

Pretty cute comments!

Bobby and Sabrina, I think the dad was just kidding about the sleeping in the driveway thing. :)

Good job identifying similes, everyone (note the CORRECT spelling: simile.)

Sion, it did seem kind of magical, what the grandma did to Pacy. I could feel it on my neck!!

Bailey, Gabe, and Sabrina, Why do you think grandma really painted Pacy's neck? Do you believe what she said. It reminds me of a mom kissing a child's boo-boo.

Elijah, please stay focused on the book.

EVERYONE: please make sure you are answering all of the questions...Some of you are doing a better job of it than others.

Someone, remind me to print this out so we can see who and how people are answering questions and sharing learning. This will also help each person become a stronger thinker and responder.
