I think the title relates because it is saying "when you reach me" as in when Miranda will figure out who is giving her the letters and to know who to give the letter to.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe its kind of like the realization reaching her. Her figuring out that Marcus was the laughing man.

# data[].attributes.body
Marcus is the laughing man

# data[].attributes.body
How do you think the title relate to the actual book it-self?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the key symbolizes trust and friendship because at the end when Richard got a key it was to show that he was officially part of the family

# data[].attributes.body
Is it Marcus or the laughing man?

# data[].attributes.body
The Laughing man is and older person of Marcus

# data[].attributes.body
Theme is also friendship

# data[].attributes.body
Its like time travel

# data[].attributes.body
I just read page 189 and am very confused

# data[].attributes.body
I think the key is also a symbol.

# data[].attributes.body
The author hinted that it would turn out to be Marcus when he was talking about time travel with Miranda and Julia.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, I think he wrote her those letters because she needs to value what she has, even if others have more

# data[].attributes.body
Because she is always comparing herself to other people so maybe it is to appreciate more of what you have.

# data[].attributes.body
Or maybe to teach her to appreciate more and care more.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a symbol is all of the clocks and watches that they have told us in the story to foreshadow the Laughing man coming in later

# data[].attributes.body
Why do you you think the Laughing man wrote Miranda those letters?

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe to warn her of something

# data[].attributes.body
So we were right MArcus was the one who was writing the mysterious notes to Miranda

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the person that's writing the letter is a minor character which will create an even bigger impact.

# data[].attributes.body
I was thinking the same thing

# data[].attributes.body
I can understand why she got so mad at Miranda because she thought she was being mean to her and Annemarie and Julia have been friends for a really long time.

# data[].attributes.body
Who do you guys think is writeing the letter? I think its Marcus for some reason or sal

# data[].attributes.body
I think she is a good person and is always trying to stick up to her friends

# data[].attributes.body
What do you guys think of Annemarie? Do you think she is a good person and has everyone's best interests at heart?

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah, I feel like she is misunderstood a little bit because of how she acts on the outside, she covers up what's really going on.

# data[].attributes.body
91

# data[].attributes.body
Ok so Ashylnn going back to your question, yes I do think maybe Miranada will start to see Julia a little bit different and maybe not be besties with her but maybe appreciate her more. Maybe Julia acts mean because she has her own struggles at home with her family.

# data[].attributes.body
ok cool

# data[].attributes.body
oh ok im almost there

# data[].attributes.body
yeah right at the end of it.

# data[].attributes.body
what situation are you talking about? is it something that happens right around that page?

# data[].attributes.body
91

# data[].attributes.body
Wait what page is that around because I might have to re-read it

# data[].attributes.body
what page are you on ashlynn?

# data[].attributes.body
What do you guys think happened to Annemarie? Also do you think Miranda's view of Julia will change because of what she did in the situation?

# data[].attributes.body
What allusions have you found in your reading? Did you recognize them immediately? What are your thoughts on these allusions? Did they successfully convey the intended meaning to you, the reader?

# data[].attributes.body
I have never read a book like this one before, so I can not make any connections. This is a first for me.

# data[].attributes.body
One connection that  I have is the book "Brown Girls Dreaming" because the family in that book was living in New York but they were also living in poor conditions and didn't have a much money . For example, their bathroom ceiling was about to fall off and they did not have enough money to fix it and they would move place to place until their Aunt was helping them.

# data[].attributes.body
I connection I could make would relate to Mango Street because both characters are poor and live in poorer parts of their neighborhood and hint at how they are poor but don't actually say it.

# data[].attributes.body
Internal because she constantly refers to the person that's writing the letter as "you" and she is giving us her inside thoughts and how she feels and how every action that she makes she gives her inside thoughts about what she just did.

# data[].attributes.body
What connections (personally, globally, or to other texts) were you able to make with the book you are reading?

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if it going to be someone they know

# data[].attributes.body
Friday they got their home broken into and Monday is the day they got their first letter and they feel very creeped out.

# data[].attributes.body
Are your characters' motivations internal or external?

# data[].attributes.body
I also think they are internal because if they were external maybe she would have told someone even if the letter said not too.

# data[].attributes.body
omg probaly

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if the person that took Miranda's spare key knew that she would tell her mom and they would get the locks replaced. That would be why the person asked where her key was in the letter.

# data[].attributes.body
Somebody broke into their house and took the key from the stair when unlcoked their door but didnt take anything. That's sounds a little weird.

# data[].attributes.body
Wait a minute you guys know how it keeps saying you maybe "you" is the letters being sent to Miranda and you could be the person who knew about them doing the show before they even found it out.

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah that is a good thought

# data[].attributes.body
That's what I thought too. Like we are the person reading her letter.

# data[].attributes.body
Nice job, Ladies!!

# data[].attributes.body
Miranda always compares other people to her or their house to her house because it's a way of her seeing what everyone else has that she doesn't and this shows that her family is poor.

# data[].attributes.body
Further proving your point, when she goes over to Annemarie's house she compares their living spaces. She notices how their bedrooms are the same size, but Annemarie's is more covered and how her building does not have a key, but a doorman.

# data[].attributes.body
Miranda's, it's like she is telling the story.

# data[].attributes.body
But we will most likely know more information as we get further into the book.

# data[].attributes.body
That is a possibility. She doesn't know who "you" is yet but she writes as though she knows them so well and is does seem like the letter is the book.

# data[].attributes.body
Wait,who's point of view is it based off of?

# data[].attributes.body
Another reason they need the money is because they live their apartment is filthy and even the building is filthy.

# data[].attributes.body
Miranda addresses the reader as "you". Do you think we are the person she is writing the letter too? Is the book her letter? (page 20)

# data[].attributes.body
Nevermmind she is named after a monster named Mira

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder why the mom named her after a kidnapper out of anyone other name

# data[].attributes.body
I think Miranda and her mom putting the spare key into the fire hose could have an important role in the ending.

# data[].attributes.body
Miranda's mom constantly steals supplies from her job and is getting in trouble for it and when Miranda says "Mom has to win this money" it shows that her family is poor and doesnt have enough money to buy the supplies.

# data[].attributes.body
That can also relate to why she is begining so serious about the game show and why she already practing so early.

# data[].attributes.body
That's a good thought

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder what will happen to Miranda's family if her mom goes on the show and does not win the money.

# data[].attributes.body
Mom nicknamed Richard Mr.Perfect because of how he loos and how he knows everything and that might have to do something with the mysterious stuff that is  happening

# data[].attributes.body
hi

# data[].attributes.body
They keep saying the word "key" over and over again which seems to be an important symbol.

# data[].attributes.body
A key is also on the front cover.
