She has never step foot in the outside world. I can't relate to this not because I don't have a rare disease but because I don't have many restrictions like her. ]]> 2021-09-22 17:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1760757405 Mirror kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1760770114 In the story I am currently leading my character has a very over protective mothers who limits the main character, Madeline, from doing a lot of things.

Madeline feels guilty and bad and that her disease is causing a pain for everyone around her. I am inferring this because in the text it states, ¨Having a visitor is a big deal because they have to agree to a medical background check and a through physical. Also they have to be decontaminated...It's a pain to come see me.¨ This quote supports my inference cause she herself says that its a pain to come see her. This is why I think Madeline feels bad and thinks that her disease is causing a pain for everyone around her.]]> 2021-09-24 17:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1766216696 Sept 27th/Class/12:30 pm kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1772183856 Minutes:29

During this meeting something happens that helped me make an inference about Madeline and how she feels about her disease. Olly says to go outside forgetting about Madeline´s sickness and immediately says sorry. In this scene Madeline replies with, ¨Stop, I say. I stand up and hold a hand out . ¨Do not feel sorry for me.¨ I say this harshly, but it's too important a point. I couldn´t stand pity coming from him.¨ Knowing this I came to an conclusion that Madeline hates when people feel sorry for her. She doesn't wish for their pity and sorrow. This is why I think Madeline hates when people feel sorry for her.]]> 2021-09-27 19:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1772218628 Window kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1772225435 In the book I am reading Madeline, the main character hates when people feel sorry for her.

So far my most favorite part of this story is the story itself. In my opinion I think that the author did a spectacular job with the plot of the story. This story plotline is very unique and I have absolutely nothing to dislike about it. If your one to like romance with a little bit of excitement this book has your name written on it. So to answer the question, yes indeed I recommend this book. ]]> 2021-09-27 19:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1772242155 September 29th/ Hallway/ 12:30 pm kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1779091383 Minutes:25

How I am reading: I definitely didn't do good today but I think I found why. The part I am reading in my book was a bit confusing and the new environment I was reading might have also been the reason I didn't that many pages as I did before. ]]> 2021-09-29 18:52:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1779091383 Madeline observes Olly and his family kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1779135236 I can infer that Madeline gets bored very easily and so cures her boredom by finding things to do to keep her busy in the house. As soon as Madeline finds out about her new neighbors she immediately starts observing them also known as stalking. She explains to readers about Olly´s and his family´s every move. Madeline notes down each family member's schedule. From morning to night she records everything she can see. My point is that Madeline gets very bored living with a disease like hers. She is pleased to do anything to keep her from getting bored even if its stalking her neighbors. ]]> 2021-09-29 19:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1779135236 Madeline Observes Olly and His Family kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1779163816 I infer that Madeline gets bored easily living with a disease like hers so she does anything to cure her boredom. I think this because as soon as Madeline finds out she has new neighbors she immediately starts observing also known as stalking them. Madeline notes down everything she can about the family next door. She even wrote down each family members schedule. I think that Madeline gets bored in the house especially with her rare disease so she does anything to keep her from getting bored even if it means stalking her neighbors. ]]> 2021-09-29 19:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1779163816 Mirror kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1779174507 In Everything Everything, Madeline loves reading and says that reading cures her boredom.

She tells the reader how she thinks about him all the time and how she feels so happy when she's around them. I can relate to this because I also have someone in my life that also me feel this way. I can depend on them all the time and they make me feel so good about myself.]]> 2021-09-30 17:43:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1782171997 Prompt 1- Everything Everything kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1784880583 Right now in my book Madeline experiences Olly getting punched by his father. Without thinking twice Madeline risks her life by stepping out of her house. As the reader knows Madeline has a rare disease where she is basically allergic to the world, so if she steps out of her house she might die. Now that she has stepped outside I predict that Madeline´s life will be in danger. ]]> 2021-10-01 18:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1784880583 Prompt 2- Everything Everything kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1784896064 The main conflict in the book Everything Everything, is that the main character, Madeline is diagnosed with an illness that makes her allergic to the rest of the world. This one problem leads to many others. This conflict yes indeed affects the story. Because of this conflict Madeline feels  like a normal teenage girl. But this conflict also puts Madeline´s life is in danger.  ]]> 2021-10-01 18:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1784896064 Madeline Learns Something New kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1784907452 I think that living with this illness Madeline´s always excited and ready to try new things. I think this because when Olly comes over to her house she is tempted to try a handstand. Eager enough she keeps asking Olly to teach her soon he gives in and teaches her. After many tries Madeline is unable to do a handstand but she refuses to give up and refuses to let Olly lose hope in her. She tries and tries and finally gets it. I think that this scene helps answer my question because the reader learns that living with a disease Madeline has time and patience to learn new things. ]]> 2021-10-01 18:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1784907452 Window kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1790666640 In this scene Madeline grows apart from her mother. She barely talks to her and cancels a lot of their activities that they do together.  I can't relate to this because I too am close with my mom. Every weekend we do something together if its just staying at home together.

The author, in my opinion, uses excellent choices of figurative language such as ¨His lips are brushing butterfly-soft against mine.¨ I also think that the author does a awesome job at creating tension for the reader and making them want to read more to find what will happen next. ]]> 2021-10-05 19:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1794159663 Madeline Risks Her Life kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1794180729 Even though Madeline has never stepped foot in the outside world and hasn´t truly seen the world she would do anything for her loved ones. This answers my question because I believe that living with a rare disease has given Madeline the understanding that she should always be there for her loved ones. Madelines doesn't have many loved ones, only three and for those three she is so thankful. Madeline is willing to give her life for any one of them because she knows the real value for them. In the book Olly, the boy she has feelings for, gets hurt by his dad while watching this Madeline couldn't let her friend from getting hurt. She bursts out of her house, without thinking that she could put her life in danger, just to save Olly. This proves my understanding that living with a disease has made Madeline capable of understanding the value of a loved one. ]]> 2021-10-05 19:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1794180729 Mirror kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1794193493 In Everything Everything, the main character Madeline is a girl who is willing to do anything for her loved ones, even if it means giving up her life.

Denotation- a silvery-white metal

Using the word tin gives an uncomfortable and negative mood to this part of the story. The author used this word to convey that Esperanza is not happy with her name. We can infer that people have a hard time pronouncing her name.

Connotation:
What mood or feeling is shown in this phrase? Positive? Negative?
Why did the author use this phrase or word? What did it add to the story? What do we learn?

]]> 2021-10-25 17:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1842486921 “As if she were a fancy chandelier” (p. 11) kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1842492356 Denotation- a decorative hanging light with branches for several light bulbs or candles.
Connotation- valuable, elegant, delicate, expensive, desirable
 
Using the word chandelier adds a positive and sophisticated mood to this section of the story.  The author used the phrase fancy chandelier so we can learn how Esperanza's great-grandfather views her great-grandmother.

I know this because the author uses ¨as¨ in the sentence meaning it's a simile.

It helps the reader picture just how big the building is. ]]> 2021-10-26 19:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1846044383 ¨Her house is like cat heaven.¨ (Mango Street, p.13) kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1846051018 This sentence is a simile. This is because the author uses the word ¨like¨ to compare Cathy´s house and cat heaven. This quote helps the reader visualize and understand that Cathy´s is filled with cats making it seem as if it is cat heaven. ]]> 2021-10-26 19:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1846051018 ¨Their clothes are crooked and old,¨(Mango Street, p.14) kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1846066423 Denotation: ¨bent or twisted out of shape or out of place¨
Connotation: Lucy´s and Rachel´s clothes are worn out and aren't very appealing

Using the word ¨crooked¨ gives a negative feeling to this part of the story. The author uses this word to show and tell the reader that Lucy and Rachel´s clothes are old and worn out. This gives the reader the understanding that they aren't rich and dont have much money to buy proper clothes. ]]> 2021-10-26 19:13:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1846066423 ¨They are wearing shiny sunday shoes without socks.¨(Mango Street, p.15) kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1846079260 Denotation: A day of the week
Connotation: They don't have enough money to buy more pairs of shoes.

This words gives a negative mood because implies that Lucy and Rachel don´t have enough money to buy more shoes. The author uses this word to show and tell the reader that Lucy and Rachel are not very rich by implying that they can´t afford to be buy more than just one pair of shoes.

I think this because the Lucy says, ¨Oh, we´re only playing,¨ Lucy says that she s kidding but Esperanza replies negatively and talks trash that is when Lucy and Rachel get mad as well.

This makes her want to have what they have. She wants to be treated equally so she's often jealous about how others are treated. In the book there were moments where Esperanza was ashamed of where she lived. There was also a time when she wanted to sit in the canteen with the other kids. But at the end she realized she didnt belong and she will never be happy with them because of who she is. These events lead to concluding that Esperanza was full of sorrow and often became jealous of others' beauty or privileges. Hence Esperanza's card showed sorrow and jealousy.

Explain what you believe this means. kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1887368457 "A home in the heart" is implying about a house that Esperanza's heart desires. Home is  a place you feel safe and a sense of belonging. The environment and feeling of a home is great feeling. House and home have different connotations. And in this case "a home in the heart" shows that Esperanza will find a home where she'll feel loved and safe and not just a big house.

I think this because I believe that Akilini wants to be friends with Kahlen because in the story he tries to talk with her. Even after realizing she can't talk(which she can), he still tries to start a conversation. I also think that Kahlen feels something toawards him. This is why I predict that Kahlen and Akilini will be friends or have some type of relationship in the future.

Akilini notices her as and proceeds to walk towards her. Kahlen tries her best to avoid him because he doesn't know the danger she causes and so for the safety of her and his she chooses to ignore him. He goes up to her and starts off the conversation about why she was reading baking recipes, Kahlen ignores him completely but he continues. He puts out his hand and Kahlen finally gives and shakes it. A few moments into the conversation Akilini finds out Kahlen's mute but can hear(which she is not.) Kahlen signs that she is though because she knows what will happen if her voice is heard. Even after finding this out Akilini seems to be so interested in Kahlen. He is so nice to her and speaks so calmly. Kahlen starts to warm to him. In the text it states, "You look stressed. You could probably use a party. I couldn't suppress my smirk." At this point into their little meeting the reader infers that Akilini will play a major part in Kahlen's life and their relationship will sort of strength. This is why I think this part of the story plays a role to my question. ]]> 2021-12-03 19:39:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1928050883 December 6/ Class/ 12:30 pm kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1932065861 Minutes: 40

"...and I remembered how normal he'd made me feel the first time we'd met... He saw me not just as a mysterious beauty, but as a girl he wanted to know."

Kahlen hesitated for a moment but then decided it would be fun. I feel that Kahlen is getting more and more attached to Akilini. She loves to be around him. Like she says, on page 59, "...I began to wonder how one boy was having such an effect on me," I think that the more and more Kahlen and Akilini meet up, Kahlen's feelings for him get stronger. Akilini is the one to start off conversations and this makes the reader believe that his has well has some feelings for her. This scene helps answer my annotation question because it helps the reader learn more about Akilini's and Kahlen's feelings. ]]> 2021-12-08 20:22:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1936760143 Window- The Siren https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1936767618 Kahlen meets a boy who she develops quite a friendship with. The reader can infer that she has feelings for him but won't admit it to herself. This is a window for me because if I feel affectionate towards someone I admit it.]]> 2021-12-08 20:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1936767618 Response 7- The Siren https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1936768299 I believe the theme of the story, as of right now, is to take risks and let loose sometimes. I think this because Kahlen always wants to be obedient and a rule follower. While that is good, she never wants to take any risks that may affect that label. Later in the story she meets a boy who she really likes. She tries her best to keep far from her because she knows she isn't supposed to be talking to him since it may cost his life. But she still does, she loves being around him and wants him so she doesn't avoid him. This is a big risk for her to take and yet she still does because she's tried of being held back. This is why I think the theme of this story is to take risks and let loose sometimes.]]> 2021-12-08 20:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1936768299 Page 64- Akilini and Kahlen have their first date https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1939059350 After a whole week of waiting Kahlen was happy to find out that it was finally day for her and Akilini to hangout. While they both were baking the cake Akilini asks Kahlen what he should major in. This is an important part of the story because it shows the reader that Akilini trusts Kahlen enough to ask her a question that will affect his life. Like the book states, "...you're probably very perceptive. So as an experiment, I'd like to know what you think I should be studying." This is a significant quote because not only does this quote show how Akilini trusts Kahlen to make a important decision for him but it also shows how closely he observes Kahlen since he says how she is perceptive. This scene from the text answers my annotation question because it shows how much Akilini trusts and knows Kahlen and thus shows the reader that their relationship is developing. ]]> 2021-12-09 19:59:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1939059350 December 9/ Class/ 12:35 pm https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1939077099 Minutes:25

How I felt reading today: I didn't read much and I think that was because I wasn't focused and because I didn't have much time. I'm not yet done with my goal because I think I could do better with achieving it. ]]> 2021-12-09 20:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1939077099 Response 3- The Siren kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1939342682 Kahlen is a rule-follower. She believes that she should always be loyal to the Ocean, whose basically her mother. While that may seem good, she prevents herself from doing a lot of things, at least in the beginning of the story. While we may share some differences there are more "mirror" scenes in the story. Overall, I can really connect with Kahlen, even better I get her. I get where she is coming from in some parts of the story. I agree and sometimes disagree with her. This is what I think of her this far into the story. ]]> 2021-12-10 00:20:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1939342682 Window- The Siren kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1939346228 Kahlen decides to move somewhere else to get away from Akilini. While she is doing this for the good of him and her, I feel that she is running away from her problems or giving up. If she really likes him, then why does she decide to not to do anything about it? This is a window to me because I believe that I face my problems and do not give up. ]]> 2021-12-10 00:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1939346228 December 10/ Class/ 11:50 am kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1940964681 Minutes: 30

How I felt reading today: I liked reading my book today because I was introduced to a new character. I can't wait to get to know them better. ]]> 2021-12-10 19:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1940964681 Response 5- The Siren kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1940978564 Kiera Cass is my most favorite author and she still holds that label. I have read about 6 books by her and have loved each one of them, including The Siren. This story is very unique and she does a great job with the plot. Another thing she does a great job with is conveying the feelings and thoughts of the characters. Sometimes she uses figurative language and other times she simply puts their thoughts into words. She uses flashbacks ever so often to give information to the reader. So, I guess it's safe to say that the author has done a great job with the book so far. ]]> 2021-12-10 19:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1940978564 Page 79- Kahlen leaves kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1941001863 Kahlen's fear of hurting Akilini or herself grows to the point she thinks it's best for her to move away. While this may seem like Kahlen is giving up on him it also shows something else to the reader. It shows how much she cares about Akilini to leave him. Kahlen's feelings for him is so strong that she is willing to forget them to protect him. But at the same time it shows the reader that Kahlen is giving up on him, and she knows too. On page 79, it stays, "I need to go." My tone was close to embarrassed, shamed by my weakness." This quote shows how Kahlen knows that what she is doing is gonna affect her in the future and how much pain she is going through but all she cares about is Akilini's safety. This scene answers my question because it shows how much Kahlen cares about Akilini and how strong her feelings are towards him. ]]> 2021-12-10 19:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1941001863 Mirror- The Siren kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1941204067 Kahlen loves the people around her so much that she will do anything for them even if it means leaving them for their own safety. This is a mirror to me because I, too, love my family and friends and I'm willing to do anything for them. ]]> 2021-12-10 23:21:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1941204067 Page 145- Kahlen and Akilini are reunited kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1945337046 After having a really bad argument with the Ocean, Kahlen left to whole other town without even realizing where she came. Port Clyde, Akilini's home town. Ever since Kahlen left they both haven't talked at all except when Akilini texted her, worriedly. When Akilini lays his eye on Kahlen he melts of happiness. During the six months they were apart a lot had happened. Akilini's parents passed away, Kahlen had a new sister, but through it all Kahlen was thinking about him and he was thinking about her. On page 145, like Akilini says, "I've thought a lot about you," he continued without looking at me. "When you disappeared, I was really worried." This quote doesn't just show the reader how much they both love each other but proves it. This scene answers my annotation question because it proves to the reader that Kahlen and Akilini's relationship is stronger than ever. ]]> 2021-12-13 18:57:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1945337046 Mirror- The Siren kaviyaramesh84 https://padlet.com/kaviyaramesh84/czqapsho3l92tnii/wish/1945485109 Kahlen has people in her life who she loves, cares, and would do anything for.
