Hello. My name is Jude. I am in the 7th grade at Colonial Beach Elementary School. I live in a small town where I can ride my bike to the store and the beach.

I think it connects to the story because Minni is trying not to get in trouble. She doesn’t talk back to the grandmother and she ignores things she sees or hears that might get her in trouble.

# data[].attributes.headline
No,I would insult her to the point where she would leave me alone and let me do my job while making her cry.

My name is Miley and I think it’s connected bc she can sense trouple

# data[].attributes.body
If she said that to me I would’ve just said that I was a kid and I needed some time to play with my friends so I can have a good childhood and have lots of good friends to play with

# data[].attributes.body
I think minni did the right thing I would have been pretty upset of pinky grandmother telling pinky to not play with me just cause of my life style and the way I live I think that's pretty mean

# data[].attributes.headline
Yes. Personally I would had try to let it brush off my shoulder and not really care about her opinion

I think that she reacted very well cause if she still did the stuff or spoke up for her self cause if she spoke up she would of got fired

# data[].attributes.body
I would’ve probably reacted by just walking away because hearing how pinky’s grandmother insult Minni makes me very mad because pinky’s grandmother doesn’t know what Minni’s going through.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because if she were to talk back to the grandma she could have a risk of loosing her job. If I was in her shoes I would have been really hurt but kept myself together to keep job.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Minnie did the right thing because if she talked back she would have lost her Ma’s job. If I were Minnie I would just stay quiet and keep doing my job.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes but no because she could cry but if someone yelled at me I would leave and ask her to not talk to me like that.
If I was in her shoes I would cry and be mad , but I would leave because I don’t think it’s nice and  how she talked her because that’s not nice and not right because the grandma may not like her but she didn’t have to say that about her when she could here her because she’s a kid.

# data[].attributes.body
I would have been so mad I would’ve started making so many comebacks from that till she couldn’t even speak no more.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally I think she did the right thing but I wouldn’t let someone grandmother speak to me like that and I would end up saying something that I might regret later on but it’s whatever

My favorite part of the story so far is when there in the kitchen. Rylee H

# data[].attributes.body
I think she acted the right way because it is there only way to get money. I would have acted the same

# data[].attributes.body
I think that minni reacted in the right way because she could have lost her job if she continued to play with pinky.
If I was minni I would have not played with pinky anymore but I still would have been nice to her.

# data[].attributes.body
What else could she do? Retort, lose her job, and starve?
Leave the building, lose her job and starve? There was nothing she could do. She just had to walk away, and take it because there wouldn't have been anything else to do. Minnie is, in practicality, their slave.

# data[].attributes.body
I think she did react the right way she was calm and did not say anything. If it was me I would have flipped out I might have lost the job but I have a small temper and that would have not gone good.

# data[].attributes.headline
I predicted that she will get along with the rich people

If I was in the same place as Minni I don’t think I would react very violently, I think I would react the same way as I don’t want to lose my job.

# data[].attributes.body
My school has a lot of kids but it’s really fun here

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because if she reacted reacted the other way she would get fired.

# data[].attributes.body
Sanjay is in trouble so it's true.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite part was when she went in to the rich lady's house for the first time.

# data[].attributes.body
My school is fun and has lots of kids.

# data[].attributes.body
I predict that Sanjay will like the farm and take his family there at the end of the story

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite part of the story so far is when she gains confidence to make rotis when she is stressed about her new job.

I believe Minni's mom will be pregnant and bring another kid into the family that Minni will have to take care of.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite part is when Minni's mom complains about her stomach pain and how she got a mango. That is because I believe Minni's mom is pregnant and I just love making predictions.

# data[].attributes.body
Minni's father says that because he doesn't want Minni to do bad things, say bad things, or see bad things. This connects to the story because Minni is already getting into trouble

I predict that Minni will find out that her boss is the water mafia boss and she may try to turn him in or find out more information, and he will find out and fire her and things will get more interesting and action packed because we will find out who the water mafia boss is.

That they shouldn’t have any evil around Minni and her friends and family

# data[].attributes.body
I predict Minni will keep her job and move in with Pinky

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite part of the book is when Minni goes to work and she needs to learn how to make rotis

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe the mom will come back after a few months of being sick and they’ll probably catch the water mafia and Sanjay will be in the clear.

Hi I’m Marlie H. I think it connects to the story cause they say minis brother brought evil cause he seeked it 

# data[].attributes.body
It connects because she sees all the evil and hears all the evil but whatever she do she can’t open her mouth and talk about it to anyone

# data[].attributes.body
I think it’s a connection because in the beginning everyone was close but then they started to drift apart.

# data[].attributes.body
I predict that minni is going to keep doing her moms job then when she gets better she is going to keep wanting to do it because she is used to doing all the jobs and being the women of the house and then she is going to pass school because she is used to all that work and stress

It shows how Minni’s family does not welcome evil in their life and wouldn’t want to see, hear, and speak no evil as they don’t like it

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the water mafia is gonna find Minnie and try to punish her

# data[].attributes.body
Hey I’m jymeen and I’m in ms. Zillers seventh grade class

# data[].attributes.body
I predict that they will tell the police they know who the water mafia boss is and they will lose their job but they will give the water back to the people.

# data[].attributes.body
This proverb relates to the story so far because, Minni tries to stay out of trouble, but it seems like trouble keeps following her. After she saw the water mafia stealing water, her whole life changed. She knows that fighting the water mafia could endanger her family, but she knows that it’s the right thing to do. She tries to follow the proverb but she struggles because of what she saw.

# data[].attributes.body
The proverb connects to minni because when they got out of the car they invited trouble to themselves,there family,and the guy who helped them get out of trouble

# data[].attributes.body
When Minni’s father told Minni “see no evil, hear no evil, say no evil” Minni spends so much time trying to avoid evil she isn’t brave enough to tell the police that she saw the water mafia.
