I think that virgil is a shy boy and he  is death and on the front cover I see that he is in a cave which he could be scared depressed or in need of alone time and there is people that seem to be looking for him. In the book he sent a text message to his friend which he wrote "need an appointment this afternoon if that is ok" So we know he is facing a problem and also virgil read that your pet giunea pig needs to have a friend some one to play with or they would sufffer from depression so that is another thing that is proboley bothering him.

The character Virgil faces problems where he met up with this bully when he was trying to go to the appiontment that he set up with this girl and he met his bully that he calles "bull" and he was scared of his bully I can tell  because he started to walk away from his bully when he saw his bully trying to talk. Which would probaly end him in the hospital. " Retarted" thats what his bully would always call him.

The charater meant he was not a strong boy and would not face a kid like that when the charater Virgil said this "I dont even have a sister ignoramus alerternative Virgil would say then he would grab bulls shirt callor in his skinny little hand the one with the fingers of a gifted pianst and shove him near the nearest tree". So that tells me he is trying to be somebody he is not so he is not that confident in him self that part tells alot about the charater.

I am at the part where he is at his friends house and from just reading a little bit of it it sounds like kaori is nerdy because To get into there house the pasword is Venus rises in the west. and in her room there pictures of constellations so she is probaly into science and likes things like that. I also noticed how Virgil likes to think deeper in to things like questions about god and those kind of things.

I realized how Virgil is a type of boy that does not really have confidence and he is shy and low self estem because he does call him self

I think Virgil might have these dreams because he docent get enough attention and maybe he wants not to be on this earth any more because people pick him last and Lola said that Virgil was her favorite but that might only be because he's is always sad

# data[].attributes.body
i think virgil is scared

# data[].attributes.body
i realized that virgil was scared for the rest of middle school.

# data[].attributes.body
I realized that Virgil doesn't know if there a god or if it a girl, boy or a old man with a white beard.
I also realized that he likes to know that there is someone listening to him.

# data[].attributes.body
I realized that Virgil has been getting mistreated by his dad so now Virgil is sad.

One of the first troubles the main character faces is when he has to deal with his bully. I can tell he is very scared because he takes a different route to get to his destination. Another trouble the main character faces is pig looks like he is suffering from depression and that is hard on him because he wants to keep him alive and the problem is that he has to try to convince his parents to get another pig and his grandmother is in on it and she is always on Virgil side. Another problem the character faces is he is calling him self a failure just because he can't do this on thing which is hurdles and that is not good thats another reason why he tries to be someone he is not.
I realized that Virgil said something that said a lot about him "when I was a little girl". I dont think he knows how to be a dad to a eleven year old girl". So he calles him self a girl and he is a boy so he thinks he is a girl maybe because he is weak or something maybe he does and action t hat makes him a girl but h
e seems like he does not belive in him self a lot and he is shy so all that could explain why his parents call him a turtle.
The setting right now is at kaori's house I did not read a lot about it but I am still wondering what specific thing he is going there for he has quite a bit of problems going on or it is probaly not a problem but I do not know.

virgil was talking about his guinean pig and how Chet bullens was making fun of Virgil not knowing his mulitipacation tables at 11

# data[].attributes.body
virgil was being cased by Chet and he was with gen and she told him his future

# data[].attributes.body
Virgil was talking about how he wasn't alone and how god was always listening

# data[].attributes.body
The setting is the supermarket and right now it feels like the story is going onto Chets life and how he is talking to his dad and how he is talking about basketball and  he is trying to act like there is no big deal and acting like he was not a failure and his dad saw that this is the question chets dad asked "how many shots did you make last night". Chet replied "A bunch he said clearing his throat I lost count" and his dad replied with this " We cant all be basketball stars.
WHAT WE DID WELL
Something our group did well was how we had somebody that was going to read one page and then another person.
WHAT WE DID NOT DO WELL
We need to have everybody share and not just one person saying one idea and one person saying "yeah" but evrybody sharing something.

# data[].attributes.body
Virgil doesn't like being called names because it reminds him of his bullies at school and how they make fun of him.
Virgil also avoids his bullies when he's going to his friends house because he doesn't want to run into them and have a problem.

1. This girl was talking about how she would call her sealing popcorn because she would open her mouth and open it

2. One thing that my group did well was that they would let each other share and would not talk over each other

3. Something that my group could work on is that we need to not read ahead of each other so we can all be at the same pace

virgil was talking to gen and kaori about a girl virgil wanted to be friends with but the school year had been over. then ms. Gingrich about his numbers

# data[].attributes.body
virgil was being chased by chet and virgil was talking about basket ball

I think the theme of the book Hello universe is like how it is to be diffrent because the boy is death And he and his brothers are diffrent because he has like a diffrent thumb and they have hard hands and they are into sports and he is not he has hands of a pianist and how he is good a squishing avocados and everybody else in his family is not that good at it. Another theme I found was how these two charaters virgil and Valencia were so a like. because Virgil is death and he found this girl that he thought they were meant to be friends and the both were death and they both had there first and last names stat with V and S. They are both lonely and death which connects to the theme of the being diffrent not a lot of people are death and they have a lot of simalareties which could be a theme of how not everybody is the same and there could be somebody out there that could be dealing with what you are dealing with.

# data[].attributes.body
The character Virgil when he was at the store and he saw Valencia And he He acted very shy and hid behind his grandmother Because he wanted to start a conversation with Valencia But then he chickened out and did not know if he should start the conversation or not. That is the reason why I thought he Was very lonely.

# data[].attributes.body
Virgil is at the store and he is with his bully Chet Bullens is also at the store but Lola is talking to Chets dad and he was very scared. Also when he saw Valuecia and he was very shy and wouldn't talk to her

# data[].attributes.body
i think the word that describes the theme is diffrent casue virgil is

# data[].attributes.body
Virgil Is DIFFERENT from his brothers because Virgil is not as athletic and as active.

# data[].attributes.body
Hello universe is about loneliness because virgil never liked talking to anyone. Lola was always the start of the show. he just never got attention.
