The first Thomas lost was the name "Anna", after that he kept losing words until he became silent. He now communicates by writing sentences and words in empty books Thomas carries with him.(Keegan) He meets a girl in a coffee shop and sits with her, she starts to cry when she asked do you not want to talk to me.Then asked him to marry him. He has a book with the words he lost, when she asked him this he flipped though his book and laughed.

Oskar doesn't have the best home life, as at his father's funeral he believes that his mother would rather it be his funeral than her husbands. An example of Oskar's curiosity can be found on page 35, where he says, "I asked her if she was in love with Ron. She said, 'Ron is a great person"..."So I asked again." This shows Oskar's persistence and curiosity, as he continuously asks his mom the same question.]]> 2020-02-26 17:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jkeys6/ELICreview4/wish/450895752 kdodson221 https://padlet.com/jkeys6/ELICreview4/wish/450895837 In the first section of the chapter, we learn that Oskar is likely suffering from depression. (Anthony) As the chapter continues,  Oskar enters into his mothers room to look at some of the old articles of clothing his Dad wore. (Anthony) While in the room, Oskar finds an old key in the blue vase. (Anthony) The next day, Oskar fakes and illness to stay home and go to a locksmith to figure out what the key unlocks and when he gets home, he notices that the envelope has the word "black" written on it. (Kyndall) The next day, Oskar starts to tell his mom about everything is wrong and starts to list everything he finds wrong, and goes to an art store to try and figure out what the word black could mean. (Kyndall) He asks a manager what it could mean and she points out how its written in red ink. (Kyndall) The manager points out how writing the word black in red ink is a psychological mind trick.

In this chapter you hear all of his thoughts, but none of anyone else's, so you don't know what everyone else's perspective is. In this scenario, this is good because we get to focus on how Oskar is feeling and his method of tackling the keys origin.]]> 2020-02-26 17:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jkeys6/ELICreview4/wish/450896306 https://padlet.com/jkeys6/ELICreview4/wish/450896391 The point of view of this chapter is first person with Oskar's grandpa showing his eternal thoughts]]> 2020-02-26 17:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jkeys6/ELICreview4/wish/450896391 lredington221 https://padlet.com/jkeys6/ELICreview4/wish/450896457 POV: 1st person
This story is being told from the life of the 9 year old boy who recently started jujitsu because his mother thought it would be good for him. Determines if we can trust Oskar or not.
It creates a connection between the reader and the character because we see him try to be strong for his mother. An example is when he makes the jewelry to make her happy. Since it is in first person point of view, we don't understand how his mother feels about what Oskar says.

Oskar's grandfather, after losing his ability to communicate properly, writes in his notebook to "speak" to people.

I flipped back and pointed at, "Ha ha ha!" She flipped forward and pointed at, "Please marry me." I flipped forward and pointed at, "Sorry, this is the smallest I've got." She flipped forward...'

The lady (grandmother) catches on to the way the grandfather communicates, and uses the daybook too.

This relates to the theme because now, after using the daybook to communicate, the lady uses it to communicate back, sort of breaking a barrier between the two (despite the frantic back and forth of the conversation in the daybook). ]]> 2020-02-26 17:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jkeys6/ELICreview4/wish/450902006 bmccoy221 https://padlet.com/jkeys6/ELICreview4/wish/450902550 "Even after a year, I still had an extremely difficult time doing certain things, like taking showers, for some reason, and getting into elevators, obviously."
