Memory Moment

malexander4726 — 2024-08-26 17:18:28 UTC

If a Tree Falls at Lunch Period 1: When Kirsten remembers when she met this boy and her mom was being very childish when she gets dropped off at school I think that ´ s important because that is a real embarrassing moment in front of the boy she likes and plus that´s how he might remember her so that would be really big to me I found this around pg 1-7.

Tough Question

malexander4726 — 2024-08-27 17:13:34 UTC

In a Tree Falls. When the teacher asks ¨Who took my wallet¨ and everyone blame Kristen so this makes me wonder who really took the wallet was Kristen just trying to be used as a cover up so the kids don´t get in trouble. page 40-49.

Aha Moment

malexander4726 — 2024-08-29 17:17:29 UTC

In a Tree Falls.When Kristen realizes that she might not be a good friend or the way she sees other people and probably get to know them instead of judging I think this might change things because she lost her best friend cause of this whole thing that happened in pages to 53-58 that where I got this information.

Prediction

malexander4726 — 2024-08-30 12:36:54 UTC

I predict in ¨If Tree Falls at Lunch Period¨ that Kathryn is going to be a better person and try to get to know the girls in that group she doesn't like to stay friends with her best friend.

Inference

malexander4726 — 2024-09-06 17:07:17 UTC

In If a Tree Falls at Lunch Period. Although the author doesn't come out and say it, I think that Kirsten's parents are going to stay together because on page 82 it says her mother sighs. ¨Can't live with him. Can't live without him,¨ she says. so maybe they might stay together for the kids That's what I am inferring about this story.

Again and Again Moment

malexander4726 — 2024-09-11 17:03:38 UTC

In Lionel Messi / Top-Scoring Soccer Star. They keep repeating 2014 world cup it keeps coming up again and again and I think this is important because it was something really big in the soccer industry and that probably took a big roll on him for losing and I feel like it show the reader not everyone is perfect and even if you do lose in life or something happens it all for reason but do not go doubting yourself pop up and try again and improve your self cause even tho he lost in 2014 he won in 2022 so that shows us to never give up that is why I think this is important.

Something I Found Interesting

malexander4726 — 2024-09-11 17:14:06 UTC

In Lionel Messi / Top-Scoring Soccer Star. Something I found interesting or surprising was that he played his first international game at the age of 9 this surprised me because I didn't know you could be that young playing international at the time cause it was back in the 1900´s now I know that Messi always lived up to hype and not to think anything about someone without knowing them better.

Prediction

malexander4726 — 2024-09-18 17:06:26 UTC

I predict in ¨Cheboygan Day ¨ that Owen might remove his self out of the friend group he is now because at first no one believed him and the one boy he was friends with that met Adele mom to he might distance his self from him because he didn't do what right cause he knew Adele was not adopted but he wanted to fit in with the group so he act like he didn't know. I wouldn't say this would happen 100% but it might.

Connection

malexander4726 — 2024-09-20 17:05:40 UTC

In ´´The Necklace´´ it was a connection because when the wife is arguing with her husband about not going to a party cause she doesn't have right stuff but her husband worked very hard it reminds me of my mother because me personally people say I am spoil but I actually do work like might sound crazy and stupid but i worked for like a month for a 300 hoodie and my mom also works hard to take care of me even tho I might not like what she got but she will always work hard and think about me just to make me happy that is my connection to the story.

Prediction

malexander4726 — 2024-09-23 17:04:02 UTC

I predict in ´ ´ The man in the well ´ ´ maybe the kids will learn that it is better to be honest with a adult then be scared to tell them something and I say this because later on most likely they will find out the man died but they was scared that they would get in trouble but you should always tell a trusted adult about some thing cause maybe they can help you that what I predict.

Inference

malexander4726 — 2024-09-25 17:04:50 UTC

In ´´The Necklace´´. Although the author doesn't come out and say it, I think that the wife is going to try to work as hard as her husband because I feel like she will noticed that head to toe he will makes sure she is okay and happy so maybe she will start trying to do the same or work for herself so her husband doesn't have to do all that stuff for her and so he can buys things that make him happy that what infer.

NF: Big Question # 1

malexander4726 — 2024-10-04 16:28:28 UTC

In ''The Teen Brain: Still Under Construction.'' Something I found interesting or surprising was that your brain doesn't fully develop till you are in your early 20's this surprised me because I thought the brain matured in the late 20's or early 30's cause I feel like people in their early 20's wont be use to being adults yet. Now I know that you don't mature till you get in your early 20's.

Prediction

malexander4726 — 2024-10-07 17:02:29 UTC

In ''The Year Of The Bomb'' I predict that that maybe this story is going to get real deep with the two friends and it might be a life or death situation because it saying how they went to a movie to watch a horror movie and that my evidence for my perdition this evidence is on the back of the book.

NF: Big question #3

malexander4726 — 2024-10-16 17:05:14 UTC

In ¨The Distracted Teenage Brain ¨ What changed my thinking was how i use to always try to rush things when I know there is a reward for the first person what I know now is that most teenagers always think about the past or always think about the rewards so they do not truly think about things better so this makes me want to slow down and make sure I am right cause I rather be right and take my time and maybe get the reward then jumping to things or thinking back in the past and most likely not get the reward cause I was not taking my time and thinking on that kinda level then but that my big question #3.

Connection

malexander4726 — 2024-10-17 17:00:46 UTC

In ¨Romeo and Juliet¨.

When Romeo and Juliet met at a party it reminds me of the time I met someone at a party because it's pretty rare that you meet someone new at a party you become really close after that party might sound weird but not much people meet at parties and later on get in a relationship that how it was a connection to me cause that really awkward like meeting someone at party most likely y'all will just be mutual friends or see each other here and there but not get in a relationship.

Character Motivation

malexander4726 — 2024-10-17 17:08:30 UTC

In ¨ Romeo and Juliet¨" Romeo wanted was motivated to kill or hurt Tybalt because Tyblat had killed one of Rome's close friends like childhood and Romeo wanted to pay back for that cause that friend could make him not be as harsh or so serious basically relaxed him also did bring out his inner child so he was heart broken that his friend stood up for him and past away so Romeo wanted revenge on Tyblat for killing his friend.

Character change.

malexander4726 — 2024-10-18 17:11:57 UTC

In ¨Romeo and Juliet¨ I said there was a character change for mister Capulet because in the story before Tybalt died mister Capulet was more supportive over his daughter he wanted wealth but not to the point where he would force Juliet to marry Paris because obviously nothing has happened to his family and he wants his daughter to be happy even if it was not the right choice in his eyes but after Tybalt death sir Capulet whole mood was changing because he was more forcing and rude to Juliet making her marry him even if she was dead or on the street I think he changed because maybe Tybalt death was stressing him out and he knew if Juliet married Paris that he would get more power, wealth, money, and fame that maybe it could protect his family more and better but that why I chose character change.

Memory Moment

malexander4726 — 2024-10-23 17:07:30 UTC

In ¨All summer in a day¨. When Margot remembers how the sun only comes out once I think this is important because she came from earth and she seen the sun most of her life and her not seeing the sun it important cause it takes a big affect on her we can tell that she becomes depressed and that it ruin her mental and the way she social with people and plus she cant wait to the sun even though she didn't get to but she remembers it so much it ruins her mental overtime.

NF: Big Question #1

malexander4726 — 2024-11-15 17:54:51 UTC

Something i found interesting or surprising was Jewish humiliation was also central to Kristallnacht. This surprised me because I never knew what it was central to now I know that Jewish humiliation was central to Kristallnacht.

NF: Numbers and Stats

malexander4726 — 2024-11-18 12:24:52 UTC

In Public Humiliation The number/stat I noticed from the text was 1941 these numbers are important because people was discovering a romance between Polish and German teenagers it added a lot of rumors or romance to the text.

NF: Authors perspective

malexander4726 — 2024-11-18 12:26:02 UTC

When the author says discovered a romance between polish and German teenagers that makes me think the author believes that some German teenagers had something going on with the Jews like romeo and Juliet.
