1.  How could’ve Kunal find his mother and stay with Vinayak?

2.  Would Kunal even find his mother, ever?

3.  Would Vinayak still have a heart attack if Kunal said at the moment that he wanted to stay with Vinayak?

4.  Did Vinayak get a heart attack when Nikhil came in and said that they had found his mother and Vinayak probably thought that Kunal will never be able to live with Vinayak?

5.  Would Kunal and Vinayak live happily ever after?

6.  Would Kunal want to work as a dabbawala or work at Vinayak's favorite restaurant, Sunshine?

7.  If Kunal ends up finding his mother, will he stay with Vinayak or live with his mother?

8. What could’ve made Vinayak not have a severe heart attack?

9.  How could Kunal find his mother and stay with both of them?

10. How would Kunal live alone in an apartment where he doesn’t know anything about while Vinayak is still in the hospital?

Answers:-

1. I think that Kunal can still find his mother and tell her whats going on and that he is staying with Vinayak. I think that they could get to know each other and meet a few times a week and they could be still reunited. Another dream that Kunal always wanted which was to reunite with his mother or family.

2. I think Kunal could still find his mother because of all the clues and information that they found.

3.  I don’t think Vinayak would have a heart attack because he actually thought that Kunal will live with him if he didn’t find his mother. After Nikhil came with all the news it mentions that Vinayak was looking strangely at Nikhil when he came in.

4.  I think so. I think that because if Kunal would have found his mother, then Vinayak would have no chance for Kunal staying with him.

Passage Picker

“I’d like you to stay with me. For good”. Pg#166 Line#20

I chose this passage because it was heart touching. I also thought that if Kunal said yes, then they both can live happily. Kunal will be happy that he found a family and Vinayak would be happy because Kunal reminds him about his son that was ten when he died.

“Vinayak's son”. Pg#174 Line#24

I chose this passage because it answers Vinayak's question. He finally decided to stay with Vinayak. It also was kind of heart touching saying that he was Vinayak’s son when he wasn’t but Vinayak treated him as a son.

Kunal was worried about his notes. Vinayak came for lunch & helped Kunal out. It was time for Kunal to go to his work at “Sunshine”(his new work, Vinayak’s favorite restaurant). Kunal came back from his work tired and he saw all the dabbawalas coming out of his apartment. Vinayak told him that they were helping Kunal write more notes and that someone also wanted to add something. The next day they woke up early and went to the station. They started to fill each tiffin with the notes. Later on Kunal had to go to work. He was so worried that he messed all the orders that he did. He asked his boss if he can leave early today. So he left. Vinayak was at the station waiting too. There was no good news but only one news which was bad. Hari was mad and said that they can’t send anymore notes. All the customers are getting mad and so they will have to lower the salaries to make a cheaper fees for the customers next month.

Connecter and Passage Picker (The Tiffin) Hibba                 1. “We have decided to grant your wish”. Pg#130 Line#5My favorite part about this passage is that it sounds very meaningful. It also sounds like something an angle would say. Anyone would be happy if someone said that to them. It gives a very happy emotion to a person especially to Kunal, after all he didn’t have a great starting life to him. I chose this passage because I thought anyone would feel happy and excited to hear anything like that.  2. “Let's take a vote”. Pg#133 Line#14I chose this passage because it is really hard at this time because if you loose in the vote, after you are so humiliated and everyone just ignores you when you try to speak. They think that you're not worthy anymore. This is also my favorite part because if Kunal would win the vote, he would be able to have more of a chance to reunite with his mother and I personally would help anyone that would want to reunite with their family.ConnectionOne of my connections is when Kunal was having a vote to see if he can send notes in tiffins, I knew how i felt. I knew how it felt because when I was having a vote for becoming a student council member, I felt some weird feeling in my stomach that if I didn’t win, I would be so mad at myself. I did and didn’t end up winning for a week I didn’t then one of the members quit so I got my dream! Me and Kunal got one of our dreams completed. Hooray! Another of my connections is that one of my birthdays, my parents said that they would grant any wish that I wanted. So I ended up getting what I wanted(to give a haircut to my mother). Kunal had the same thing. He wanted to become a dabbawalla and he got his wish granted. Me and Kunal have many things in common.

1. The part when Vinayak said “no” to help Kunal find his mother, I thought that Kunal would run away from Vinayak again. The first time when Kunal ran away from Vinayak was when Vinayak was mad at Kunal for getting in trouble by touching private tiffins when Kunal only wanted to help. So I thought when Vinayak said no to something that was very important to Kunal and that was the only thing that Kunal wants, and his best friend Vinayak denied to help him. I kept reading until Kunal said “how can you say that!”.  I was surprised he didn’t run away.

2. In the book when all the dabbawalas(tiffin carriers)were in a meeting to thank Kunal for saving one tiffin of the train tracks while a train was coming and when he got offered a job to be a dabbawalla he asked Hari(boss of the whole association for sending the tiffins) if he could help Kunal find his mother, I thought Kunal would have gotten fired. I thought that because in the first meeting that Kunal went to with Vinayak, Hari mentioned that he doesn’t want drama and that he can just watch a Hindi movie to see all the drama he needs to. When Kunal said that Hari was shocked and I thought he was going to say that Kunal was fired but instead he ended up saying, “what! How are we supposed to do that?”. I felt kind of relieved because if Kunal got fired, both of his dreams would become crushed. The first one to find his mother and the second, to become a dabbawalla.

3. When Kunal got offered to work at Vinayak's favorite restaurant called “Sunshine”, I thought Kunal wouldn’t be so happy because he wanted to be a dabbawalla and Vinayak got him a job that reminded him about the Dhaba(where his old foster parents worked, he worked there too). Instead, Kunal was happy that he found a job, a job that he was good at too. Kunal thanked Vinayak for finding him a job because he needed to find as much as the money that he can so it would be easier to help find his mother by buying notebooks and to pay Vinayak his rent(Kunal wanted too but Vinayak didn’t want him to).

Summarizer
Vinayak took Kunal where he always went for breakfast. Vinayak & Kunal ordered the same thing. Kunal never felt the feeling before of ordering something from a restaurant and relaxing so calmly. Vinayak told Kunal that they both needed rest so they should go somewhere. Kunal said that he wanted to go to the financial district apartment of Bombay. Vinayak said that he wanted to show Kunal the queen's necklace and that they could go after there. They finished their food and they left. They got to see the financial district apartment so Kunal knows where to go to get more information about his mother. Then they left to go to see the queen’s necklace. Kunal thought that it was really pretty that he can see it a million times but he wouldn’t get bored of it. There was still some time left so Vinayak thought that he could show Kunal where they set up the tiffins and deliver to their destinations. They started packing up the stuff. Kunal saw a kid just like him but a little bit older. Kunal helped him and he wanted to do one by himself. He had forgotten that Vinayak told him not to touch any of the tiffins. Kunal got in trouble and Vinayak got embarrassed. Vinayak was mad at Kunal and Kunal knew it. Kunal decided to run away, Vinayak noticed him and started running after him. Vinayak caught up to him and gave him a big hug and said sorry. They both went for a drink so they could cool off.

Passage

The sentence: “Wipe that gloomy look on your face. Things can’t be all bad on a sunny morning like this.” pg#82 Line# 15-16

I chose this passage because Kunal felt happy that he found someone that actually cares about him and because that passage was actually meaningful. Kunal also liked how Vinayak made things sound more fun and less negative than he thought from before.

Word(s): Saala Pagal pg#100 Line# 16

I chose this passage because it tells something about India. It tells some of the languages they might speak there. The word means you, mental idiot. The language that the word comes from is Urdu/Hindi or Marwari. I liked how they actually tell some stuff about a place, not only about characters and stories. At least they give some information or facts about places. I personally like that.

Sethji kicked Kunal right in the face and blood came gushing out of Kunal's mouth. Sethji never knew what to say but he knew exactly what to do. Sethji left and locked the cashier and Kunal tried his best to get to his room. After a while Mrs. Seth came and told Kunal that he had to leave because Sethji was planning to hand him over to Abdullah. Mrs. Seth called Vinayak to take Kunal with him. Vinayak came and Kunal was about to leave until he asked about his mother. Mrs. Seth gave him a sheet that said something when Kunal’s mother left him. Sethji caught Mrs. Seth helping Kunal. Mrs. Seth quickly shut the door and told Kunal never to come back. Then all Kunal heard was a scream. Vinayak and Kunal went home and went to bed. Early in the morning they woke up and they got ready quick. Vinayak wanted to take Kunal where he goes everyday for breakfast.

Questions:-

1.  Why should Kunal get punished for getting the money that he deserved? Even if he wasn’t right, why couldn’t Sethji be a little less harsh?

2. How could’ve Kunal steal the money and grab his mother's bangle without getting caught?

3. Will Kunal ever find his mother by the note Mrs. Seth gave him?

4. What would’ve happened if Kunal was sent to Abdullah?

5. How would Kunal recover from all of his illnesses from Sethji without any money?

6. What if one day Sethji saw Kunal, what will he do with Kunal?

7. What would’ve happened if Mrs. Seth didn’t help Kunal to get out of the house? Will Sethji still be abuse to Kunal physically?

8. When Mrs. Seth was helping Kunal run away, what if  Vinayak didn’t come back for Kunal in time?

Answers:-

1. I don’t think Kunal should get punished for getting all the money that he earned. I think that because Kunal wouldn’t be stealing that money if the Seth’s gave him the money that he needed. Kunal would work hard all day long as a waiter and all he got was all three meals. Nothing more. He wouldn’t get any money, not even salary. I think that isn’t fair.

2. I think that Kunal could’ve went from the back door of the restaurant to get his mother's bangle. Than he could’ve went downstairs to see if the cost was clear and he could've got all the money he needed and leave without anyone noticing.

3. I think so. I think that because than he knows his mother’s name and he can find his mother’s name in the handbook of name s of Bombay.

4. I think Kunal would be punished even more which he didn’t deserve. He would be also working times 10 in probably a different store without no break. He might not even get all the meals to eat.

5. I think Kunal can ask Vinayak for some money. Or Vinayak can treat Kunal at the house because Vinayak understands Kunal and is a very great friend.

6. I think he might take Kunal with him and kidnap him and give him all the punish Sethji thought he needed.

7. I think Kunal’s life would’ve been harder. Yes I think Sethji would still be abusive physically to Kunal because Sethji is really mad.

8. I think Kunal would be sent to Abdullah’s house and he would have a more painful life because Abdullah is known to be a horrible person.

# data[].attributes.body
1. When Kunal goes to steal the money and grab his mother's bangle, I think that he will get caught because Sethji is really careful of his money so he tries to stay close to the cash register as much as possible.

2. While reading the 20 pages, I thought when Kunal was going to stay with Vinayak for a few days, I thought that probably Vinayak would be nice and let Kunal in his house and Vinayak ended up letting Kunal stay over.

3. When Sethji will catch Kunal stealing the money, I think that Sethji will be really abusive because he was already in a bad mood the whole day and he is really protective with his earnings.

4. While reading the story at the part when Lalan came in hurt from his delivery, I thought that Sethji would stop sending little kids out to deliveries so he would get the money that he wanted and no one would get hurt.

5. When Lalan wanted to tell Kunal something privately, I thought it would be something nice and something happy instead it was harsh for Kunal.

6. I think that Sethji will make a big fuss if he catches Kunal in the next part of the story.

7. I’m guessing that he will maybe even kick Kunal out of the Dhaba.

8. I think Vinayak will be less abusive to Kunal when he stays at Vinayak’s house for a few days.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Why should Kunal be forced to take deliveries to houses that he hasn’t been before? Wouldn’t that be unsafe?

2. What could’ve happened if the people that were following Kunal when he was delivering his food started to run after Kunal and beat him for his money or other stuff like what happened to his friend Lalan?

3. Why couldn’t Sethji be a little nicer to Kunal and Lalan, especially after Lalan got beaten for his money?

4. Why was Sethji so protective of his money and his restaurant?

5. How could’ve Kunal come faster back to the Dhaba without being late even after new wanted to see the beautiful girls that all the boys that come in the Dhaba  for food would talk about?

6. Why will Lalan want to leave his best friend working in the Dhaba alone?

How could Sethji have said to Kunal to go get Lalan in a nicer way to comfort Kunal that his friend will be okay?

7. Why should Kunal be forced to work in the Dhaba when he wants to be a tiffin delivery person/carrier?

8. Wouldn’t the Seth’s still be getting money even if Kunal was a tiffin man?

9. Shouldn’t Kunal be treated more nicely because he doesn’t have real parents that can support him in everything he does and especially because he is a little kid?

10. Will Kunal ever see Lalan again after he leaves, forever?

Answers:-

2. I think that Sethji would be really mad at Kunal that he lost Sethji money. Sethji would also think that he was trying to copy what happened to his friend so he could get a day off of work.

4.  I think that Sethji was so protective of his money that he earned and his restaurant because probably many people don’t have restaurants that are busy and get many customers. He also probably thinks that he’s lucky to have many customers and that they order much stuff which gets him a lot of money. I also think that he is really protective because in India there are many people that rob stuff and that like to steal money and break into their stores especially the Dhaba because it has many customers come in and they might have a lot of money due to the orders that the people take.

10. I think that Kunal should be treated more nicely. I think that because Kunal is really young and that his parents gave him to people that had no relation with his parents. I can’t imagine living with someone and know that they aren’t the real parents. It would be also really hard to be working at a really young age. The Seth’s can be a little nice and  comfort him and Kunal can probably want to work in the Dhaba as his own choice.

7.  I think that Sethji could’ve comforted him and tell him to go get Lalan in a nicer way. He could’ve comforted him by saying that Lalan will be okay and that he could go get him quickly. I understand that he needs Kunal and Lalan at the busiest moment of the day but Sethji should understand how much a friend is worth.

Anahita was filling up the tiffins until she heard the usual doorbell ring. It was a new man at the door who was already getting late to catch the train for his delivery. Anahita put a note in a tiffin for her husband, it was very important. She was scared if she should hand over the tiffin to that man. Eventually, she let him go with the tiffins, but then she realized that it would be a huge risk if the tiffin went missing. She ran back but the man ran into the crowd of a busy morning in Mumbai.  The man ran and he saw the train leaving. He jumped pushing some passengers to a side but suddenly a tiffin hit a pole and one tiffin went flying in the air. Kunal was in the “Dhaba” working as a waiter as usual. He got into fights with many people because of their mischief and their respect. Sethji, Kunal’s foster dad always went on the customer's side so he wouldn’t lose any customers. Mrs. Seth, Kunal's foster mother always knew that Kunal would say the truth.  Kunal was sick with all of what happens in his life. He wanted to run away. But he wondered where.

Connection:-

1.  connection is that sometimes I get confused if I should trust someone or not, especially if the person is new in town or a new friend. I get confused if I should tell the person my secrets or if I should eat the food they offer me because you never know what they could be up. So for the 20 pages that I have read so far have said that Anahita was confused if she should trust the new tiffin man with her tiffin. Especially because it had that private and very important note in the tiffin. She wasn’t sure if she could give him the tiffin and if it would reach her husband safely. That's what I have a connection with.

2. I also have a connection with is when Kunal wanted to run away because he didn’t like how he was treated by his foster parents. Instead of being mistreated by parents, I was being mistreated by my friends. They would tell me to do stuff that I didn’t want to do and I couldn’t handle how they would respect me. I wanted to just find new friends but I was scared if my old friends were going to spill my secrets. Just like when in the book it said that Kunal didn’t know where he would live if he ran away. For me thankfully those friends said up to my face that they didn’t want to be friends anymore so I was safe and relieved that I didn’t have to tell them that.

I think that when 10 year old Margaret Pokiak returns from the residential school, her family will consider a stranger even when she is finally at home, as the title suggests. My prediction is that she will not be used to the food, culture, and even her native language because she has lived in a residential school for 2 years. I also think that her family and even her friends will consider her an outsider as she has adapted to the environment in the residential school, which differs from the aboriginal environment, such as food, culture, and language.

why does Angnes mom consider her as an outsider even though she knows how to speak her mothers language?
What if Margaret was not considered an outsider when she went to meet Angnes mother how would the scene play out

Inference:I understand why Margaret's mother wanted to keep her children away from a dark stranger because if I were in that position I would also want to keep my loved ones away from people I do not trust,like when I went running in the dark with my mother,and when I saw someone suspisious I was worried and wanted to keep her safe.

My favorite phrase was:I felt a soft touch lighter than my fathers,on my back.”A familiar warm touch that worked its way into my heart.Only one person touched me so sweetly ,my moms.”I liked this passage the most because,even though Margaret could not speak to her mother because she didn't understand her language,her mother showed that she recognized Margret using no words but affection.

After a stressful trip to the residential school 10 year old Margaret Pokiak finally returns home to see her beloved family. Unfortunately when Margaret came running to her mother she got the least expected reaction from her:her mother shook her head saying "not my girl" "not my girl".Just when Margret thought they had forgotten her, her family somewhat accepted her, but still treated her as if she were an outsider. Now 10 year old Margret now has to learn how to re-kindle her old language, her mothers food, and most of all her the love her family and friends.
