I know this because in the book the main character, Ben says "I set out for planet earth from the Pluto that is trout, Idaho." Setting is important because in small town people typically know everyone personally and care about them. Ben knew all of these people and that was another reason he didn't tell anyone he was dying; He didn't want tp hurt them.]]> 2017-10-16 12:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/197306568 shannon_deyoe https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/197309733 The protagonist is Ben Wolf.]]> 2017-10-16 12:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/197309733 shannon_deyoe https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/198163090 The antagonist is Ben's Blood disease that he knows will kill him by the end of the year. I know this because in the story it says "I'm dying. I've got this blood disease... I may only be good for most of the year."]]> 2017-10-18 11:17:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/198163090 shannon_deyoe https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/198163376 One of the main conflicts is a man vs. self. Ben decides he won't tell anyone that he's going to die, but constantly argues with himself about telling his friends and family or not.]]> 2017-10-18 11:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/198163376 shannon_deyoe https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/198163997 The theme of this story is not telling the truth can hurt you as well as your loved ones. I know this because in the book Ben decides not to tell anyone that he isn't going to die, and because of that he struggled with managing what was happening to him. He didn't tell his friends, family or girlfriend for a few months, and b then it was too late. The pain would have been led if Ben told them when he wound put.

This article has a very strong connection to the book because it is very much like what Ben went through. The main difference is that Nigel Schonfeld told his friends and family and is getting support from his community.]]> 2017-10-23 00:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/199416914 shannon_deyoe https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/199521410 2017-10-23 11:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/199521410 shannon_deyoe https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/199521579 An important quote from the book is "That's my curse: give me the bad news and I'll take care of you." This shows that Ben cares about the people around him. This is why he decided not to tell anyone he was dying, which caused major conflict in the story.]]> 2017-10-23 11:57:18 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/199521579 shannon_deyoe https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/199522289 Ben thinks that if he doesn't tell anybody about the fact that he's dying then people won't be as hurt, despite how much his doctor and therapist tell him it's a bad idea. This shows that Ben is stubborn and selfish, because not telling people hurt them more because they had less time with him then if they could have convinced him to do treatment.]]> 2017-10-23 11:59:50 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/199522289 shannon_deyoe https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/199523623 Most people like Ben, but after he gets diagnosed he starts to moss with one of his current events teacher and people in class get annoyed with him because that get so off topic. People also get mad at him because he didn't tell anybody the he was dying for months. That was also the reason his girlfriend broke up with him.]]> 2017-10-23 12:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/199523623 shannon_deyoe https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/199524523 Ben decides to turn out for football instead of track when he finds out that he is going to die so he can be closer to his quarterback brother. He also try's to stay strong so the people around him won't have to deal with the fact he is dying. This shows that Ben wants to make sure that his death has as little impact of his loved ones lives as possible. ]]> 2017-10-23 12:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/199524523 shannon_deyoe https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/199526115 The looks describes Ben as skinny.

It also says that he has the body of a runner.]]> 2017-10-23 12:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_deyoe/p8vamupdxrvv/wish/199526115
