Too Real? en-us 2021-02-08 16:46:59 UTC 2025-10-25 11:22:21 UTC hello@padlet.com 30125412 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188370247 Me and my group talked about how we didn't like the way Jen died. We all agreed that it was just a bit too predictable.]]> 2021-02-10 16:42:06 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188370247 3018848 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188370561 I actually enjoyed reading the book. It was a bit tedious at beginning of the book, but gradually got more interesting. Sometimes, I feel like I agree with what the government did in Among the Hidden, because we can't utterly expend the resources of our planet. The more people there are, the less food to be distributed to them. My question is what is the point of someone being born if they die of malnourishment. But still, I feel like curtailing people's rights is not the right way to go. So basically, ATH really got me thinking about the population problem, and all in all, it was a good book. ]]> 2021-02-10 16:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188370561 3021160 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188370709 Something that I disliked from the book is how they discriminated between the genders and how the Father stated that Men get married so the Women can do the work and cook food for their husbands. I did like the idea of making a story around the idea of shadow, illegal third children. I liked the progression of the book as it smoothly went from one event down to a smalelr event and kept going like a rollercoaster. The one thing that I liked the most was that Jen was willing to stick up for her kind, which are the third children(WHICH SHOULDN"T BE SHADOW CHILDREN) THe most disliked part was how the story ended, I felt a bit bittersweet on how Luke left his biological family but has also kind of done the right thing for all third children, but the story jsut ended so suddenly, and it jsut doesn't seem like a proper ending to a story.]]> 2021-02-10 16:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188370709 3011779 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188370960 I liked how they progressed the plot with Luke and Jen, how they began to grow their friendship. They also touched on over-population problem which is a big problem that needs to get fixed. It really showed the possibilities of what over-population can do. Also in my group we discussed how Jen died which was terrible. It was kind of sad because she was just gone. It felt like there was no real importance.]]> 2021-02-10 16:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188370960 3025546 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188371014 Maybe have a amount of children a year and some people could have 3 children and some could have none.]]> 2021-02-10 16:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188371014 3022439 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188371046 I had mixed feelings about ATH. On one hand, I loved the entire idea of making "third children" illegal. The totalitarian government also made things super interesting. I did not like the gender discrimination in the book, though, but the author must have had the intention of portraying the time period through the gender roles. I also did not like how the book was pretty short. More details would have made it better. ]]> 2021-02-10 16:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188371046 30115241 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188371083 What I did not like about Among the Hidden is that when the author revealed that Jen died, it was too predictable. If a reader take the scene when Jen said that they could only hope that the rally works and the scene where Jen said that hope is useless and that action is the only thing that counts and puts them together, they could realize even before the author revealed Jen's death that Jen was going to die, making way for a predictable ending to a character. I think that this book should be taught in middle school because it is a great introductory dystopian novel. It doesn't dive into concepts as dark as The Hunger Games, but it has a problem, setting, and plot that introduces teenagers to these novels in a great way. It also introduces the problem of overpopulation, which is an ongoing problem in the world. It gets them thinking about ways they could solve it without converting to what they did in the novel, showing how this is also a good book to get them thinking and to get them on their toes. ]]> 2021-02-10 16:42:14 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188371083 3011796 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188371884 I really loved the contrast between Luke's and Jen's personalities. Also how they interact with each other, they are friends but they have their ups and downs.]]> 2021-02-10 16:42:22 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188371884 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188371968 This book was pretty good, somethings that I thought were boring but need was the introduction into Luke's character for the first 10 chapters. The book was moving slow but it was focused on Luke's character which helps the reader predict wisely what the will happen next in the book.]]> 2021-02-10 16:42:22 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188371968 3012026 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188372179 I really enjoyed the entire book I thought it was very real and that is what made it so interesting. I thought that there was many parts in the text that made me just want to keep reading. The only thing is was there where a couple of moments that were a little boring compared to other moments.]]> 2021-02-10 16:42:25 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188372179 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188376160 I liked the whole Among the Hidden book. It was very intriguing and was written very well. ]]> 2021-02-10 16:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188376160 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188376725 I think the book was pretty reasonable and realistic. It expressed the emotions of a confused child. It was full of suspense and it felt like any time Luke and Jen could have been caught and be given to the population police. THE BEST PART: LUKE MADE HIS DECISIONS HIS WAY THAT LED TO THE LIFE HE DESERVED!!!!!]]> 2021-02-10 16:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188376725 3027214 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1188377044 I like the progress of Luke's emotion.

Something else should have happened except her dying. I like how they showed friendship and collaboration.

I liked how the author revolved the story around the idea of equality and hope. The book was very thrilling and emotional. But what I disliked was the beginning of the book where things were so slow and boring. It didn't feel right to start the book off like that however the later suspenseful scenes made up for that. What I think was to far off was the fact that Jen didn't retreat. That was just amusing. Since no one didn't show up she could have quit but no she had to go and face the huge wrath with only 40 people. Those are my thoughts on the book.]]> 2021-02-10 21:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1189818120 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1193052281 The book was really good and it showed how two people with totally opposite personalities end up being friends. Luke is scared, mannered and doesn't have an attitude. While Jen is brave, not mannered, sarcastic and has an attitude. As the story goes on it gets really interesting but then I got sad when Jen died. I got emotional so I slightly sobbed. Then after a while I thought about it and I don't believe Jen is dead. The rally happened but there was never news about it and if Jen's dad was there he would have helped her since he apparently "loved her". He might have gave her a fake ID and sent her to a different country. So, in my opinion I think Jen is alive and they might make a second book with Jen alive or as a ghost...]]> 2021-02-11 16:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1193052281 3028624 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1211143075 i liked the book because it had an interesting story but that was from when Luke met Jen. the book was boring at first before Luke met Jen.]]> 2021-02-17 13:58:48 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1211143075 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1211486681 i liked the whole book it was a good book some of it was boring and some of it was sad. ]]> 2021-02-17 15:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1211486681 3027590 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1211840081 i liked the book because it had interesting parts and the whole story kind of was all different emotions for the characters and this seems like an event that would happen in the real world.]]> 2021-02-17 16:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1211840081 https://padlet.com/donato_destefano/5agita1ecb6xohge/wish/1215937308 the book was honestly very fun and very sad to read at the same time.
