#1-One character in my book is Michaela, her African name is Mabinty Bangura. She is a really excited girl, she likes to learn new things that she didn't have in Africa. She has a crazy aditude and she loves to dance. I think once she has an idea for something she is going to reach for the stars and beyond to be able to have it. She is also very protective, she wants the best for her sister and mom, which was the first person in her family that she met.
#4- There was one part in my book that caught me the most was when Michaela favorite adult got killed and she saw it. She loved this woman and the story said that they slit open her stomach and pulled out the un-born child and they left her to die. She couldn't do anything because she was threaten and by then she was to scared.
#8- This book remind me of myself because me and Michaela are much alike. We are very protective of our friends and family. We also reach for the stars in order to succeed. We also always had the dream of becoming a ballerina. She tried her hardest to get what she dreams about and I do the same.
#2- One of my favorite parts of the book is when Michaela figures out she will be living with the same family as her only friend in the orphanage. This made me so excited for her since she never got the same attention as the other girls and she got to leave her sadness and start a new life with a new family that she will love for a long time.
#6- An important lesson I learned was never be 100% sure of something give it time and maybe something will change. You can never be 100% sure yes nor no. I think I am now going to think everything more thoroughly and not get my hope up.

Summary:Will is still trying to help the Magician. He saw this show that everyone was excited and they had to shoot an arrow to win. So Will being curious he went to see up close. There were buff and strong crazy guys. Will was more of a fragile small kid. But Will go up there and tried to shoot this arrow.

I think that Will wants to show that he can help and that is a strong guy to the magician. He also is willing to do anything to get trust from the magician. He has gotten tricked so many time he just wants someone to trust him and he also wants a friend. I think Will can be curious at time but I also think that he can be courageous and he will go out there for someone just to gain trust or love. I think since Wills dad never really loved him and he never had a father or mother figure he just wants someone to love and him and trust him. He also had no where to call home, he is always on the run from his dad and the innkeeper. The innkeeper didn't even like Will so that made Will sad. Will would do anything for the innkeeper and in return he got nothing.

Summary: Will is traveling after getting tricked by the tooth puller. He found a magician in a small town. Will was pick to help out the magician but Will didn’t want to be tricked. But right after he saw the hard boiled egg he really wanted to help. He had a devil angle situation, should I do it and have a chance on getting tricked or should I not help and know I won’t get tricked but I don’t get any food. Will talked to the magician and Will was sent on a mission to collect as much money as he can so then we would get a reward. But last time Will left someone he got tricked.

I wonder why Will does all of these things for strangers, when he knows there is a good chance that he is going to get tricked. I am surprised that he will do all of these tasks with a chance to get a hard boiled egg or something small. Last time he had to do something for food the tooth puller ran away and left Will all by himself.  If I were Will I would have just stayed at the Inn even though you don’t get fed often and you have to do more. The Innkeeper is crazy but there is always that one soft spot and if Will found it then I don’t think that they Innkeeper wouldn’t be as mean and crazy. I want to see Will develop into more of a caring character but still with his adventuress side. I also think that the problems Will faces by getting tricked aren’t that long and the author doesn’t slow down the time. He finds a person he gets tricked and then they leave. I predict that Will will get captured by a spy or another trickster and Will has to struggle to get out and find his way home.

Adventure Book Character Claim Post #2 due BOP 4/5 

# data[].attributes.body
Current page #: 35
Character Name: Will Sparrow
Claim: Will gets trick all the time
Evidence/Data:
1.Will was in a shed running away from the innkeeper and Nell liftpurse (a thief). She told Will a fake story about her kids and her family and how she is not a thief anymore. Will trust her and he went to bed and she took his shoes and his only food.  Pg:16
2. Another time he got trick is when a doctor tricked him to help him with getting teeth he had to walk in and get his teeth pulled and he came out tricked. "He is a fraud and the boy too!" Pg:31

Warrant: To start Will Sparrow is a gullible person. He gets tricked by two people. The first person he got tricked by was Nell Liftpurse. To summarize she was known for stealing people's things. But somehow Will finds the best in people or at least the "best" in people. Nell lied about her sad life with no friends or family. Will falls for it and goes to bed, then Nell steals all of his belongings. This shows how gullible Will is, he knows that she is bad but he doesn't care and he gets robbed while he was there! Will doesn't have the right mind, he thinks everyone tells the truth and no one lies. This makes it clear that Will is a gullible person. There is another example to prove that Will is gullible. The next example is when he met this doctor. The doctor was a teeth puller, but he used Will to fake a tooth pull, but when the citizens found out they weren't happy. The text mentioned, "He is a fraud and the boy too!" This is when they opened Will's mouth and found all of his teeth. The doctor ran away on his wagon leaving Will in the dust. Will was tricked one more time. This is another reason why Will is a gullible kid. Will's mindset before getting tricked one more time by the doctor was to not get tricked again, but little did he know to trust no one. This shows how gullible Will is.

Secondary Character(s):

2. Doctor Munster. He is a doctor and he said that he will give Will food after Will helps him with his job. Little did Will know he was going to be trick and he is taking all of Wills teeth out. Doctor Munster lured Will in, even though he said he wasn't going to.
POV: 1st
Setting: I think it is in the south because it is hot out but cold at night and there is wagons so its an older time. This is olden time because they use more olden southern slang.
Interesting Noticing: I noticed that Will is very curious. He likes to see what people do and learn more about them. Like Nell Liftpurse he knew she was bad but he didn't care. He is very gullible and curious he will do anything to see what they do.

1)My main characters name is Marit. Her characteristics are, she is strong, brave but sometimes she is sad and misses her mom dad and aunt.
2) Some secondary characters are her grandfather, he has to take care of Marit and her brother. He is important to the story because he has to help Marit and he has to tell Marit what to do. He is a strong character and it makes the story more unique.
3) The problem in the book is that the Nazi are taking over all the European countries. Also the problem is that Marits mom and dad sent Marit and Lars to there aunt and grandfather's house and no one knows where the are. To add on the that Marits aunt who was a mother figure to her go taken away by the Nazi.
4) Marit is trying her hardest to forget what is happening. She is trying to help her family and be good to the community.
5) I like how they describe the characters, the way they describe it just puts an image in my head. It's so clear and I have an exact idea of what they look like.
6)One thing I don't like is how Lars isn't in the book a lot. I think the book would be better if it was a brother and sister team (Marit and Lars). They are so nice to each other and I really love that connection, it would be better with Lars in the book.

I was so surprised when they said that they had to turn in all spurred. They will also will be doing a house to house search to find any radios. I was so spurred, I couldn't that it. I know they take a lot form them but a radio. I know bevel the radio you can hear what is happening and what is going on radios he Nazi. I would hate to be in Norway during this time period because this is a lot for a little girl to had. Sometimes I can't even stand life at home, me in Norway that wouldn't work at all!

# data[].attributes.body
The author is trying to make us feel sad. Its working very well. Marit's aunt just got shipped away in a boat with 500 other people. She got caught by the Nazi and she is on a ship that is only supposed to hold 150 people. This is making me super sad and nervous. I don't want any of my aunts shipped away in a boat, when it's so cold out.  I would hate to be Marit right now. Nothing is going her way. He best friend Olaf can't hang out with her because his parents are pro-Nazi. Also her parents are who knows where and she is now stuck with her brother and annoying grandfather. I can't even spend the day without talking to my mom, I would hate to not have her. This makes me really upset for Marit
and her family.

# data[].attributes.body
I can't believe that Marit's aunt is taken away. I can't believe what is going though Marits head. If I was Marit, I would cry my eyes out and try to make her stay. Marit doesn't have a mom anymore and her aunt was her mom. If I didn't have a mom I would have no idea how to live. My mom is like my backbone, if I didn't have her I would be flopping around. I couldn't do anything, my brain couldn't send messages. I would be a baby in a area full of people. Lost and confused.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder why Marit doesn't want to show her grandfather her bunad.  Her aunt made her a traditional outfit and she tried it on when her grandfather wasn't home. I feel like her aunt is her closest bet to a mom and her grandfather isn't such a positive guy. I think her grandfather is more of a lets do what they tell us to do when it comes to Nazi. That is the complete opposite for Marit she wants to destroy him if she could. Maybe that contributes to why she doesn't want to show her grandfather anything.

# data[].attributes.body
On this page Marit, Lars and Aunt Ingeborg all got a letter from Mr. and Mrs.Siversen. Marit thinks that its her parents. I don't think it is. This reminds me of, when my brother went to baseball camp and we only got one call since they weren't aloud a phone. I was so glad that I got to hear him, but I just wanted to see him. I didn't even know if it was him, I didn't know if it was him physically. I think that al Marit wants is to know if her family is safe, she just wants to see their faces.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised that Olaf was trying to talk to Hanna and Marit. I know Marit hates him and they haven't talked in forever. I think Olaf want's a second chance. He really wants to have a friends, but no one want to talk to him because his parents are pro-Nazi. With Olaf not doing the same things as all of the other Norwegians (being anti-Nazi) he is being excluded. I feel bad for both Marit and Olaf, Marit is going though a lot with her family. And Olaf not having anyone to lean on.

This author is trying to make me feel sad for Marit, because it's been two years without her parents. On top of that it's her bithday and she dosen't have her parents. I felt very sad for Marit, I don't know what I would do without my mom or dad. I cou;dn't live without them, even if I am with family. I am really feeling sad for Marit and her brother.

I was shocked when the Nazi was falling for a true Norweigen (they hate the Nazis). He gave her choclates and she knocked them out of his hands. She said we have nothinng you Nazi take everything away from us. If I were Miss.Halversen (the true Norweigen) I wouldn't take the choclates either. I would be scared to take it from him, and I don't wan't something that no one elese has. I would also feel like he was buttering her up. Then he would attack her with crazy things becuse she is on his "good side". I think if Miss.Halversen took the choclates there would be a big problem, like her turning into a Nazi.

# data[].attributes.body
I was happy when the school sarted wearing red, blue and white (Norways flag) They also wore combs in their pockets to show that they are proud and don't like the Nazi. This reminds me of when everyone wore paperclips on there shirts to symbolize care for each other. I really like how everyone is standing up for each other in Norway. I'm proud of Marit because she is that one that cracks under pressure and gets very nervous, but she is proving herself wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
I really got into the story when Marit and Lars were saving the seal that ha oil on it when a solider came. I was so scared for them they encountered another solider. There wasn't even an adult there. I was proud that Marit said nothing she didn't want to say anything. I was so scared when the solider was going to shot the little seal. He said, " Then he pivoted and aimed hos gun at the seal pup. 'it will die soon enough.'" I was so scared, I didn't want Marit and Lars to see that. It was just awful.

# data[].attributes.body
What if Marit and Lars were home when the Nazi invaded there home? Would they go to a camp or get introuble? I think that they would stay and let them suffer by themselves. I hope Marit never runs into a Nazi ever again. This time remeined me of when we read the book Before We Were Free. It was when the SIM broke into Anitas house and looked though her whole house. It was a scary time for Anita, just as it was scary for Marit

Reaction 1
My first reaction was when the Nazi went to Marit's aunts house, they asked for what ever they had.
I was shocked when the Nazi asked for what ever there animals on the farm produced. After they left Bestefar came in from giving the Nazi the food, Marit got in big trouble the Nazi aren't supposed to know that she is here. Marit and her brother Lar traveled to there aunts house to hide. I was just shocked.

Question 3.
Some similatires to america is that we also have isald where there is houses. One similarity to todays time period would be that we have uncles that have to watch other's kids. A difference would be that this isn't happening to us today in america. And a difference for the time period would be that we have a better alience with "enimies" so that we never are going to go though this anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 2.
It reminds me of like a little island where there ins't much. Only like 3 houses and they work together to survive. But they have enough to survive.
