On page 227 and 228 it is talking about the story about Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman. I was wondering why it would spend 2 pages talking about it if it is not inportant.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 246 it says "they've been sneaking up on the town in cars," I think that because they know this that they will use it in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
for a portion of the book the author had us believe that jacks mom was the killer by poisoning the people with her casseroles this turned out to be a big red herring leading up to the actual killer being revealed as mr spizz

# data[].attributes.body
I agree this was foreshadowing I think mrs volker might be a target for the next posining

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because the killer might have a motive to kill people by there location and maybe they saw something they weren't supposed to

# data[].attributes.body
I agree this is weird that he mentions that he wants to move to florida so much this could be because he is the murderer and wants to escape after the crime

# data[].attributes.body
since now the murders are solved with motives I realize that bunny's dad making coffins and getting money from these people dieing is just a big red herring that the author put in the book for more of a mystery.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 305 it says how mr spizs left chocolates at mrs volkers house then later when thy encountered each other he hade a eivl grin on his face i think this means that he could be killing the old ladies with chocolates.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 296 jack's mom confesses that she might have killed the old ladies with her casserole i think this is a clue not because i think she did it but because it shows anyone could have given the ladies food or tanted it and to keep are minds open about who the killer could be.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 273 it says that jack is worried about how he thinks his dad might have killed mrs vinal this shows he dosnt have much trust in his dad and he could be a killer.

# data[].attributes.body
At the end of chapter 23, they start talking about a radio, I think that they will use the radio in the book to talk so they don't get in trouble for talking at night.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 253 Mrs. Volker repeatedly brings up the fact that she can't do anything with her hands and i feel like she is trying to red herring us into thinking she can't do anything. But maybe she can do stuff.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 131 mrs Volker says mr spizz is a bore and some other rude things and earlier we learned that mr spizz is in love with mrs volker which makes me wonder why she hates him so much and what is the reason.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 237 Bunny says, "As my dad says 'You have to die at some point' so why not while you are having fun. This is a little bit of Peer pressure from Bunny and I feel like the author is trying to get us the piece of information that he might take this under consideration.

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah, I can remember having that same thought but it turns out she is in some ways just a red herring. The author makes you think she and her dad are influencing all of the murders just to get business but that turns out to be totally wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 235 Jack says "I wished Russians would bomb me out of misery" I am feeling like this the author is foreshadowing an event that might happen at the end of the story.

# data[].attributes.body
When he is talking to Bunny about who put the bullet in the gun, the author wants us to think that someone put the bullet in the gun thinking that Jack would play with it and maybe shoot Miss Volker.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, in one of my clues I talk about the fact that Jack's father talks about leaving so often. I think he is trying to be like "I have a job in Florida, now we have to move to Florida"

# data[].attributes.body
on page 232 jack says how all the old ladies just sit around and don't die this is suspicious because so far in the book only men have died this makes me think the killer is targeting men for some reason.

# data[].attributes.body
When Jack sneaks out and is out with Bunny, when he shows up Bunny is smoking a cigarette. I think this is a clue that Bunny will set something on fire then not to get into trouble she'll blame it on someone else.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, I was just thinking about how in the beginning of the story he was upset that he was grounded but now I

# data[].attributes.body
Having known a little about Mr Spizz I could tell something was off about him. The way Jack's dad said there was 'something wrong upstairs' I knew he could be a major part of the murders.

# data[].attributes.body
It seems as if Jack is fine with being locked in the whole summer, do you think he accepted his fate, is having fun with Miss Volker or is scared about what might happen outside of his house?

Response to Cassidy - Griffin (4 but I really don't care

# data[].attributes.body
I think a author included it because the story or Uncle Will will be part of the story and might be a hidden clue in the story.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, right now I am way passed this part in the story but I remember thinking how this would be a motive and I could start thinking of who did all the murderers.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this book applied a lot of history in the context that it makes sense in and shows how important this town is. I also feel that without a character like Miss Volker the story would not be what it is.

# data[].attributes.body
So what I think about this book is, everyone (not including Jack) are considered suspects, Spizz, Volker, Bunny, Huffer, everyone is because there are lots of motives.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the map that Mrs. Volker has where she marks the people who have died live may come to use later in the story.

# data[].attributes.body
I am a little confused on why the author added the part about Uncle Will shooting the deer. It just didn't make sense given the circumstances in the text. Any thoughts?

# data[].attributes.body
I guess i never thought of that but now that i do it makes a lot of sense.  Also because history is very closely tied to this book in many ways as well as dying

# data[].attributes.body
Jack makes a bet with Mr. Greene about Miss Volker not killing the ladies. Based on the events in the book I feel like she has done many things that could be used as motives against her. I however am not in any way accusing her of murder but it is possible.

# data[].attributes.body
Isn't it weird that Jefferson and Adams said the same thing as they were about to die. I think that this will be something to do with the mystery in the book.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 229  Miss volker is telling Jack a story about somebody who feels that basically, if he kills somebody else his live will be better. So this could be a motive for the killer in the book.

# data[].attributes.body
On Page 217, Bunny states that Jack´s summer is getting wasted away because he is grounded this makes me think of what Bunny might be doing that is so great. So maybe she is involved in something that she should not be involved in.

# data[].attributes.body
I could not agree more, I feel like this could be the murder's strategy. Also making it so there are less people to kill and making so it will be someone important to the book soon.

# data[].attributes.body
Jack's dad is moving houses to West Virginia and Mrs Volker is really upset about it. She feels he is taking away and destroying the land. She is very loyal to Mrs Roosevelt.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 213 they talk about who died on that day as well as somebody that died that lived in Norvelt and it is always multiple people that have died that are famous and this is starting to make me think every single one of the strange Norvelt deaths have been planned by somebody.

# data[].attributes.body
So on page 216, it seems that Jack might get a job with the press, I think what the author is trying to say is that the press might be a major part of the story later on, like maybe something that could be asking people for help or maybe something to trick the murder (or whatever the mystery is going to be about)

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, I feel like he is making it a public statement so his wife would consider it if other people are.

# data[].attributes.body
On the page 206 it says ¨...and if Miss  Volker knew what was good for her she would move there too¨ I think this is a huge foreshadowing that even when Jack´s dad wants to move to Florida for his own good he lets Jack and Jack´s mom know. Now he is opening it up to try and get other people to move as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he is showing us that when the mystery starts that he might fall for some red-herrings or find the wrong person because someone told him so.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 205 it states ¨Or seeing Mr. Huffer´s gave me creepy thoughts."Jack only thinks creepy thoughts because that is what he got told by other people. This leads me to think he may be gullible and the author might be trying to get that point across. Also maybe things that he tells us maybe not be 100% true.

# data[].attributes.body
Jacks dad is going to a new location for work. This could be an excuse he is leaving Norvelt because he has talked about going to live in FLorida many times in the book

# data[].attributes.body
Some people after being cooked up in a crib for awhile can go a little crazy, so I think that he is just being a little dramatic. So it could be a clue, but I think it is just him being dramatic.

# data[].attributes.body
Agreed, I do not think that they will start the mystery in the last 100 pages, also the angels are coming so this could be another reason.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 161, Bunny started skipping and dancing in a weird way, I think this is a clue that Bunny will be the one that dies because of the fact that didn't they say that the guy that died was dancing in a weird way.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 198 Jacks father states that after he is done with his secret plan their will not be a towns nurse in the city. I think the author is foreshadowing on what might happen later on.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 203 it says "You will have to sign this sheet saying you bought some..." when he is buying the can of 1080 for Mr. Spizz. I think that that might come back to haunt him in the furture.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 156, Mrs. Volker is again getting worked up over something that might not have anything to do with her, of course the plague has something to do with everybody in Norvelt but this is just a theory, and she is really getting worked up, I think this needs to something bigger between her and the Angles.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 132 mrs Volker says to jack that they are going to have a huge day today this is foreshadowing that this day is going to be something important or could just be her enthusiasm about everything

# data[].attributes.body
On page 180 Mrs. Volker gets Jack a car. But there is a catch. He can´t get it until Mrs. Volker is dead. I am wondering if Jack wants the car so much maybe he might murderer her for the car.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 128 mrs Volker says how she has chemicals that can remove blood in her garage when jack gets his nice shirt all bloody and I was thinking that was kind of weird because there are murders happening so if she did them she could have easy clean up

# data[].attributes.body
On page 146, Bunny says "You're starting to sound like a murder mystery for idiots" I think she might be referring to us, the readers, this is because if you think about it, there is possibly someone saying this is such a stupid mystery, or this mystery is for idiots, I think the author is stating that the mystery will start soon, just wait a little while.

# data[].attributes.body
Jack's father says it is to dig the hole for the bomb shelter but that makes me winder what his mom had in mind when she bought him the gift. This is because she is mad about them tearing down the crops and digging a hole.

# data[].attributes.body
On pages 174 and 175 it is Jack's birthday and his mom gets him something good, better, and best. She says that the "good" present is something useful. Jack opens it and it is a shovel. This makes me wonder how a shovel can be useful.(In Jack's case)

# data[].attributes.body
On page 159, Bunny announces that a swarm of Hells Angels rides into town to steal the body of their dead companion.
They leave town with his body in one of Mr. Huffer's expensive Time Capsule coffins. The gang's leader had supposedly placed a death curse on the town. I think this entire process if mysterious and i am feeling that their is something going on

# data[].attributes.body
On page 149 Jack is complaining because he thinks he is "Suffering" and his mom goes on to say what did you do that wasn't fair and got super defensive over it. I think this might be a clue on something that might have happened in her past that maybe was not fair.

# data[].attributes.body
Jack keeps thinking something bad is coming. This makes me believe the mystery in the book will start soon.

# data[].attributes.body
On pages 153,154,155,156 Miss Volker is bringing a lot of attention the the fire at her sister's former house. She is thought by many people to be crazy but this is just strange. I wonder if this could be hinting at something that could happen in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I was thinking the same thing, this character was just thrown into the book randomly. This event may also lead to another event happening later in the book

# data[].attributes.body
I think the quote "It felt good to be an American" is foreshadowing hidden in plain sight. What I mean by this is that the author didn't try to hide the clue but instead put it out in the open knowing, not everyone would notice it.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, I also do not know how there would be a connection because the author does not state rather or not the biker was from Norvelt. But then again you don't have to know somebody that isn't in your town but I just don't know if he was from there or not.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, its almost like the author was just stringing us along until a very important character dies and then he will start explaining the mystery.

# data[].attributes.body
I totally 100% agree that the stuff he knows about Russia is why he wants to move to Florida. I do not think his statements are a joke.

# data[].attributes.body
I can go both ways, that may be what it is trying to say but I also think it is just describing in further detail the kinds of tattoos that the man has.

# data[].attributes.body
I think she does care about him because he is a helper, sort of like if you volunteer to help they're not going to say "meh" if you break your ankle, also she might know that Jack's mom does not like him coming home with a bloody shirt.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the motorcyclists will become a big red herring in the book. I believe this because they were just recently brought up and have not been characters for very long. Also they will probably not be caught because Mr. Spizz will not be able to catch them

# data[].attributes.body
on page 121 jacks mom says jack should respect the biker person that died and made him wear nice cloths to see him I think that jacks mom might have known him but doesn't want to admit it for some reason or she might feel guilty because maybe he was coming into town to see her

# data[].attributes.body
On page 129 it says that it looked like two old gloves, I think Bunny with be a suspect of a murder because on the scene they will find a pair of two old gloves, because the author always seems to put clues (or red herrings) at the end of the chapter.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm noticing that jack is really into historical events and also forced into reading while he is grounded. This might be hinting at some type of mystery that involves knowing historical events.

# data[].attributes.body
On pages 140- 141 Mrs. Volker is doing a method on Jack's nose to stop the bleeding and this made me think, Why would she care enough to do that?  I think maybe the author is hinting at something that Mrs. Volker might do that she doesn't want evidence for if Jack's nose starts bleeding.

# data[].attributes.body
I am noticing that as well. When we first met Bunny she seemed not as much into death but now I agree that she is obsessed with it.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 125 they are talking about the snake on his leg that has a 666 (which is a sign for Satan for people that don't know) I think that this is a red herring because once again they have not talked to much into it leading us (the readers) to wonder, so I think that this has nothing to do with the story and should be a red herring.

# data[].attributes.body
the whole page 119 a random person comes to norvelt and dies with no one that knowing who he is I find this strange that this is not the first time in the book that this has happened and no one from norvelt can ID him

# data[].attributes.body
Jack sees miss Volker's hands crossed in her lap. I think he wonders how she still keeps them working and why she is still alive.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been noticing that random people (not characters in the book) have been dying a lot in the book, it is only time until some character dies and the mystery starts up.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 116 Jack's father states that he would rather keep it in the family and not let other people knowing about the plane, I think the author is hinting at a plane situation that might happen in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm noticing that Bunny keeps hinting at death and dying. It's almost like shes obsessed with the idea of it.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 117 jacks dad says " think of it the Russian commies will be bombing us from above and we'll be protected." This could be a joke or I think this could be a clue about how jacks dad might have info about the russians bombing them and that might be a reason why he wants to move to florida

# data[].attributes.body
The very last paragraph on page 122, his dad says, "If only she were next," then says later "Then we'd finally get some work done around here," This could be a clue that Miss Volker could be the one that dies and his dad might be the killer. Also this gives a motive that he might have to kill her.

# data[].attributes.body
Post WEEK 2 inferences and responses below this box!

# data[].attributes.body
on page 69 jack's mom ays how he is gong to be in alot of trouble this might mean he is going to spend more time with mrs volker and get further in the mystery of all the deaths in norvelt. or he might not be able to see bunny. and sence its summer he might not be able to do alot of other things.

# data[].attributes.body
I know my thinking might be far fetched but on page 67 bunny says how her dad gives denchers from the dead people to the retirement homes so people could reuse them and if bunny's dad wants to stay in buesness he needs people in norvelt to die and by giving old people the denchers he could put poison in them so the people would die and sence they where old people would think its just from old age.

# data[].attributes.body
I remember passing this as well but I thought that meant something may happen in the future that has something to do with like having to know information about Egyptian hieroglyphs but as I am reading farther they don't talk about it anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 74 Jack states "I would have been down on my knees and reading it with an angelic look on my face. The only religious book I had in my collection was the Landmark biography Jesus of Nazareth." I think this is a hint meaning since they are not religious maybe he thinks he can do stuff that religious people do not do.

# data[].attributes.body
I saw the bomb shelter thing and thought it might be because of the so called alians jack menchioned earlier

# data[].attributes.body
This is probably leading to something that they will both get into trouble for because Bunny and Jack seem like a dynamic duo that would get into trouble.

# data[].attributes.body
I also think that the UFO story is a red herring. when reading a mystery book every thing can seem to be a clue or a hint at an event, but most of the time they end up not mattering at all. Mr. Spizz might be insane but I don't think he has any thing to do with the crime.

# data[].attributes.body
The thing is about it being a red herring is that yes, there are somethings that he does not tell us but the author would write a different red herring some place else if he needed to, he really goes into depth about this so I actually don't think it is a red herring.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 62 when jack was with bunny, bunny shows jack the so called time capsules of the future caskets which bunny might find something like a clue in because a few pages later we find out she is not afraid to open the caskets at her dads shop thad already have bodies.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 64 jack said how he knew the worst was yet to come when he was with bunny i think this is foreshadowing to something big that might happen due to bunny being an outrageous person.

# data[].attributes.body
The UFO is a COMPLETE red herring because you won't catch anyone talking to much about it because the author is trying to mislead us into a wonder about how it got there, when it got there, why it got there, instead of focusing on the fact the Mr. Spizz might be insane.

# data[].attributes.body
Mr. Spizz, according to Jack's dad, has something wrong upstairs. He might be the murder because of the fact that he might go crazy one day and take out the person he dislikes the most.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 39 he is talking about how the book is heavy, wide, thick and tall as a tombstone. This could be foreshadowing to someone important dying in the book.

# data[].attributes.body
on page 47 Jack how he could tell by the way his dad looked whatever he was thinking was more important than jacks next chore I think this could lead to a major change in the book because hi dad is a serious person.
