And then this line - "He put his arm around me and we sat there together on the porch, two people being completely pitiful and lost. ]]> 2020-04-29 22:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/540466087 tracyholland1 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/540466732 Chapter 23 - JUST WOW! Is anyone else worried about Gram? ]]> 2020-04-29 22:04:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/540466732 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/541957015 I am very worried about Gram but no one else does in the book.]]> 2020-04-30 13:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/541957015 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/541960011 What happened with the baby was crazy!

I wish that she would stop thinking it.]]> 2020-04-30 13:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/541964754 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542065620 I think it's weird and cool that they made the kids draw their soul. Another weird thing is that I thought that they would all draw different things but no most were the some and some were exactly  the same as each other that weird. Also why did Ben's and Sal were the same.  From: Angelica]]> 2020-04-30 14:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542065620 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542072682 A soul mate mean that their  is this two people and they are just made for each other. I think that what a soul mate means.

I wonder why and how Ben and Sal's were exactly the same. I wonder if there is part of Ben's story that we don't know yet....like before he lived with Mary Lou, where did he live? -Lucy]]> 2020-04-30 14:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542146423 s076533 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542158742 Now I understand what happened to the baby and why Sal is afraid of pregnant women. I think it is sooo sad what happened to the baby. I thought it was interesting how the bunny died and Sal said, "It can't be dead. It was alive just a minute ago." And that is the exact same thing the Mom said about the baby. I thought it was so sad how the mom wanted to hold her, and how they thought of a name for her even though she was dead: Tulip. -Lucy]]> 2020-04-30 14:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542158742 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542162940 I am worried about Gram in chapter 23. I think that they should have gone to the hospital. I think that Gram might have relapse or not be able to breathe again and they must go to the hospital. - Sophia]]> 2020-04-30 14:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542162940 s076533 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542164810 Oh, no, what is wrong with Gram?! They should really go to the doctor, I think that since the author never gives you anything that you don't need, I think later in the book, she is going to like, actually not be able to breathe, and they are going to need to go to the hospital again. -Lucy]]> 2020-04-30 14:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542164810 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542183667 I also think that it was important that Ben and Sal's same soul picture was the same. it was definitely not a coincidence. -Sophia]]> 2020-04-30 14:53:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542183667 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542205974 Chapter 21-  why would Ben draw a maple leave. It is said that he is cousins with marry lou. Who are his parents. Whats his story?  - Emily ]]> 2020-04-30 14:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542205974 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542213621 Chapter 22- Dad said, that he thought people meant to come back.  house is so messed up because the mother is gone. They will come and let her in with open arms and they will appreciate her. - Emily ]]> 2020-04-30 15:02:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542213621 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542222360 Chapter 23- We finally find out why the mom left. She was overwhelmed with sadness. I feel so bad for Sal because she feels like it  was her fault the baby died. the stone comparasen, she could mack the stone float, but Tulip could not. - Emily ]]> 2020-04-30 15:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542222360 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542448876 I can't believe the bunny died! I think it was symbolic for the baby dying, because Mom said the same thing Sal did when the bunny died. But I think I know why the bunny died, the bunny died of fear. Because bunnies can die when they are so scared, like that bunny was. ]]> 2020-04-30 16:17:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542448876 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542458481 I am really worried about Gram. Maybe she might die. Then there would bo way too much death in this book, with Gram and the bunny, and the baby. I think maybe Mrs. Winterbottom went away, and maybe she is going to be with Sal's mom, and that would be an insane coincidence. ]]> 2020-04-30 16:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542458481 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542463782 I agree, I really think that the soul pictures are the same and that is going to mean something later in the story, they will be soul mates. Hey Mrs. Holland, because of the maple leaf drawings, is that why you chose this background for the padlet? I really like this background, it is super pretty, and it even relates to the story.]]> 2020-04-30 16:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542463782 s080711 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542513941 First, this was a really short chapter! Okay for a short chapter that was weird! “Draw a soul” Ben and Sal had the same soul! Weird. I was like they were made for each other.]]> 2020-04-30 16:39:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542513941 s080711 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542550879 It’s so sad. Phoebe misses her mother so much, so would I. Oh, my, Sal now has to talk to Phoebe about momma. They have the same symptoms. Oh poor bunny, it didn’t know blue was just playing:( this is such a sad chapter. Maybe my least favorite. This will be a long pad. But, on the bright side now the family can do stuff for their selves.]]> 2020-04-30 16:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542550879 s080711 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542592044 The voices again! “Slow down, slow, slow, slow” why is Gram losing her voice!? Again, pregnant women! This is definitely an again and again. Oh, my! The mystery of the baby. That’s so sad:( the baby, oh my:(  ]]> 2020-04-30 17:09:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/12rdo11vz46glet/wish/542592044
