Joseph was referring to when he mentioned the idea of angels in his discussion with Reverend Ballou at the Christmas Eve service that were was his angel when he needed,meaning that the angels are supposed to help or be like a signal of joy but Joseph refers that he didn't have any type of angel accompanied him with the theme of Jupiter and Maddie.It is an important moment for Joseph because it tells what Joseph thinks and feels about his sadness towards Jupiter.

I think that it is important because of the way they make Joseph feel, since they are suppose to do good but Joseph's live has always end up bad. That is why he doesn't really believe in angels.

I believe that what he was referring to when he mentioned the idea of angels in his discussion, was that the angels were supposed to help him, however, since he couldn't see his baby, when Madeline died, he didn't believe in angels. He got upset, due to the fact, that there were "no angels helping him". He wasn't being guarded by angels, in his eyes.

I think that what the Reverend Ballou was saying cause a big impact for Joseph cause he could relate in some way. First of all and the most obvious I guess, his name was Joseph and of course his name is Joseph too. The name Mary is pretty similar to what he called Madeline. Joseph was very stunned and surprised when the Reverend mentioned the angels helping them, and he was angry and confused because no "angels" helped Madeline when she was having the baby.

I think this is an importrant conversation because it expresses the feeling of sadness of joseph, because hesaid if angels are here to bring us good there would not be bad things, doing I think a reference to what happened to maddie. He disagrees mobviously with the reverend because of the experiences he had and he does not think there is such things as angels.

I think that Joseph referred to Madeline because when he says, "Then why weren't they there when I needed them", he referred to all the bad and sad times he passed through. He felt like angels weren't real because he didn't felt them in their life. It was important for Joseph because the way he got connected to the Reverend's story was very important. He felt somehow mad because he didn't feel that company of angels in his life.

In Joseph's conversation with Reverend Ballou, they discussed Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. When Joseph asked where the angels were, he was referring to his own experience with Maddie and Jupiter. This is an important moment for Joseph because he has never been to church before and the first time he goes, he relates with arguably the most famous religious figure there is.

I think that Joseph felt somehow connected to the story the Reverend was telling because of what happened to him with Madeline and Jupiter. He felt like the angels weren't part of his story because when he was going through a really hard time, and he felt like they weren't there to help him or protect him when he needed it.

what Joseph was referring to when asking where the angels where he was referring to his experience with Madeline and Jupiter.
This is very important because it was the first time Joseph went to church, it made him some sort of relation, but at the same time he got a little mad at reverend Ballou. This was also very important because we can percieve how Joseph in some way wished the angles would have been there for him, but they werent so he felt ignored.

Chapter 5

julia_almeida2 — 2020-10-21 15:18:51 UTC

I think that the discussion Joseph had with Reverend made him feel connected and he related to the story Reverend told. The story that Reverend told was very similar to Madeline's and Josephs story. A lot of bad events have happened in Josephs life, loosing Madeline and Jupiter is one and because of all of these tragedies Joseph doesn't believe in Angels. Joseph was upset when the Reverend said that the angels are everywhere, because he feels like Angels are fake since his life is full of tragedies.

i think that the Revernd Ballou was talking in general for everyone to listen but some how joseph took it very personally and decided to reflect on it. Finally the angels was a way of refering to his and maddie experience and just in a way a sign that something good is coming and that the angels were supossed to help them since he didnt belive in angels joseph didnt want to belive it

The story was relatable to joseph and that was important
to him. Joseph felt different since his life will always be bad. Also Reverend mentioned Angels and that hit Joseph in a different way.

Chapter 5

I think the conversation that they had was important because of the feeling of Joseph. Joseph couldn't believe the Angel because he thought that if there was an Angel, he could see Jupiter with Madeline. Also, Joseph's lives were difficult, for this reason, he didn't want to believe the Angel.

Chapter 5

ramosde — 2020-10-21 15:20:22 UTC

Joseph felt connected bc this happened to him with maddie an jupiter. But he felt he was missing the angels. I think joseph also felt kind of ignored because the angels weren't there when he needed them, and since he's going through some really hard times.

I think it is very important because of the way it made Joseph feel. Madeline didn't believe on angels, angles where very important to Joseph so the reaction is ver important. for Joseph Angeles are important because he feels protected

this chapter is a little or all about joseph where at first he fights with an eighth grader and gets to the director and gets angry with him but at the same time this decision becomes a very important part of the story to me when the revere told him about Los Angeles that part I saw Joseph with a very sinister opinion because he did not understand.

I think it is very important because it shows what Joseph thinks, in the book we see Josephs opinion only a few times and I think this is connected with madeline because she is the only person (aside maybe from Jack) that he really shared his thoughts and mind. To everyone else it is just telling the facts and what happened. I think that Joseph was mad becausee he thinks that if angels excist then why dont they stop the bad things, and if they are there to keep us company where were they when he was in a bad moment.

Chapter V Reflection

andresgutierrez4 — 2020-10-21 15:26:12 UTC

I think that this chapter is more about joseph because it has many angles.

Chapter 5

3007482 — 2020-10-21 15:27:37 UTC

I think in this chapter it talks more about the fury that Joseph has for the angels and how difficult is for him think positively about everything that happens to him.

Chapter 5

mateozapata — 2020-10-21 15:32:08 UTC

I think that in this chapter it is almost all about Joseph and how he feels at the time, what is he going through and what he thinks, his opinions and thoughts.
