I found that quite interesting because this sets up for that breaking of the "fourth wall" discussed last class and how we are reading this book as a collection of stolen perspectives.]]> 2021-04-22 17:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448506346 https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448508988 I thought that the format was really weird. For example on pg 62 the paragraph was split in half but only half way down the column then it goes back to being normal. The format is super weird and sort of confusing. Also the point of views keep switching from character to character is an interesting aspect of the story.]]> 2021-04-22 17:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448508988 https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448509640 The way that the format constantly changed and the story was told from the perspectives of each character was interesting to me. At first it was a little hard to follow because the transitions from columns to regular paragraphs was weird to me, but I got used to it quickly.

This was highlighted especially for me with the section from the perspective of the Loteria caller where it showed the different cards he picked. I just enjoyed how there was perspective given from someone who is obviously not a main character, but still is included. ]]> 2021-04-22 17:31:24 UTC https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448510111 https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448510654 The part where Rita uses electrodes to push back her hairline and pinches her nose to be the 'perfect' shape weirded me out not only because she's going to extreme lengths to look a certain way but also because it sounds like something fashion models would actually do.]]> 2021-04-22 17:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448510654 https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448510754 weirdest moment was when the mechanic found a mechanical tortoise eating a sea turtle]]> 2021-04-22 17:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448510754 https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448512308 I liked Sandra's introduction because she was mentioned earlier when Froggy and Julieta met. I like moments like that when a character/event is mentioned and then later explained so it feels like everything is falling into place. - Liam]]> 2021-04-22 17:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448512308 schilukuri22 https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448512711 Page 53: When Froggy gives Little Merced something and Little Merced says it's just "two folded dollar bills" while Froggy says he "wrapped the smaller switchblade" into the money.

"It was never Saturn's intention to destroy any of them, if only they had not rebelled and just lived their lives without looking up." It's interesting to think about who is talking. Even though it is in Froggy's section it seems to be an interjection by Saturn in the 3rd person.]]> 2021-04-22 17:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448513059 https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448513260 When Federico stays awake to not wet the bed again. ]]> 2021-04-22 17:31:59 UTC https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448513260 https://padlet.com/emeerson/6icp6robpyfshj0h/wish/1448513268 I felt that the couple of drawing we have gotten from Fredrico have been weird because his war isn’t  physical making them seem meaningless (pg. 43,55).

It's interesting how she makes this connection.
