I predict it will take Kek some time before he learns English.

J: Question

2023jsaltzman — 2015-10-29 20:45:46 UTC

Did Gwanwar get his hand cut off from the village, or the air strike?

J: Infrence

2023jsaltzman — 2015-10-29 20:51:02 UTC

I infer Gwanwar has 'issues' because he got in to another fight.

I think Kek is having mixed feelings about America, because he says to me he doesn't like it, and it's very stressful

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-10-30 01:14:31 UTC

I think that Dave is worried about Kek's mom, because he said that they didn't know where Kek's mom is. I think he says this with worry.

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-10-30 01:18:37 UTC

Text to self connection: I did the same thing a Kek did once. I made my mom and dad pull over, because I wanted to see all the horses, sheep, and even a sheepdog on a farm.

Nice first post guys!!

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-03 02:40:37 UTC

I wonder why cows mean life in Kek's native country of Africa

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-03 02:46:38 UTC

I think that it will take Kek a long time to get used to the Minnesota lifestyles, because he kept falling in the snow

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-03 02:51:26 UTC

I wonder why Ganwar always gets into fights?

Pg 50

2023jsaltzman — 2015-11-03 21:21:26 UTC

I'm crying. I can't imagine being Kek. He lost everything and Gwanwar is basically making fun of Kek

Pg 43

2023jsaltzman — 2015-11-03 21:25:47 UTC

I love the 'mound of grass'

Cover

2023jsaltzman — 2015-11-03 21:28:20 UTC

I wonder if the cow on the cover is real.

Pg 50

2023jsaltzman — 2015-11-03 21:47:10 UTC

I believe Kek's Mom is still alive. Kek has hope and I respect that.

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-04 02:37:23 UTC

I wonder if Kek's dad has no cattle, does he have no money to his country?

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-04 02:39:52 UTC

I think that Kek's dad was very positive, because he always sings very positive songs when Kek goes to bed.

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-04 02:41:45 UTC

I think Kek has kind of a fixed mindset, because he says that Kek will never know as much as Ganwar's eyes.

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-05 02:03:55 UTC

I feel so sorry for Kek right now, because he basically lost his whole family. Question: Why is Kek not really crying?

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-05 02:05:37 UTC

I wonder why Kek is really clueless at everything to me?

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-05 02:09:36 UTC

I wonder why Kek writes this story in poems. Is he really into poems or something?

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-06 02:19:48 UTC

Why does Kek get everything misunderstood other than that he is from another country? Does he have a giant imagination?

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-06 02:22:47 UTC

I wonder how Kek notices if he/she is a friend or not by just looking at somebody's eyes?

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-06 02:25:06 UTC

I feel like Kek has a CRAZY amount of hope... How does he get, have, and keep that hope?

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-10 01:56:12 UTC

I wonder if Kek will be like Ganwar on the first day of school, or he will be himself, and hope that the teacher comes?

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-10 01:58:53 UTC

I think Kek was very poor, because he didn't have schools, he didn't even know what a desk is!

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-10 02:01:12 UTC

After hearing Kek say "It's good to hear the cattle again" when it was just all of his class saying "moo," I think Kek kisses home. A lot.

Pg. 75

2023jsaltzman — 2015-11-10 14:46:50 UTC

I think the kids are laughing at his drawing

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-11 02:12:24 UTC

I wonder how Kek has a class full of immigrants, and he can almost understand all of them! How does he learn his peers languages, or does he just communicate in Englishor African?

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-11 02:17:58 UTC

I wonder if Kek's new friends are laughing at him, or with him?

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-11 02:20:06 UTC

I think Hannah and the other people accidentally made Kek really sad, but I wonder if they noticed, or they just didn't say a word? How did Kek not really cry during this? How does Kek hold himself together in these situations? I feel worried for Kek. Maybe this will escalate into a crazy thing that Kek is always miserable, or Kek just comes back to normal?

Pg 98

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-12 02:09:10 UTC

I think Kek is SUPER sad and mad, because Kek put his Aunt's dishes in the washing machine, but they all broke. I wonder if Kek's aunt is really mad at Kek, or she knows that Kek is just learning. I think that Kek is sad, because he felt a little guilty, and almost cried.

Pg 89

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-12 02:12:40 UTC

I wonder how Kek learned how to tell time in only a day at the camp (school)?

Pg 92-95

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-12 02:14:17 UTC

I am super worried for Kek, because he put his aunt's dishes in the WASHING MACHINE instead of the dishwasher. I am worried, because I think Kek's aunt will get REALLY mad at Kek, and ground him for 365 days. Maybe more.

Pg 93

2023jsaltzman — 2015-11-12 14:38:13 UTC

Why would Kek lock the door in a apartment building.

Pg 102

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-17 02:05:51 UTC

Whoa! I can't believe Hannah has foster parents! How did she get these fosters? How did her parent or parents die?

Pg 107-108

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-17 02:12:20 UTC

Ummmm... I SUPER worried about Kek, because I think his aunt was silent... With ANGER AND FURY inside, but just not letting it out on the outside.

Pg 110

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-17 02:21:19 UTC

I really wonder how Ganwar is so good at herding, and still has many skills only with one hand?

Pg 115-116

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-18 01:59:54 UTC

I wonder if the cow on the cover is related to the cow when Kek gets his job?

Pg 122

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-18 02:03:15 UTC

I think Lou is fond of Kek, but also not very fond, because Kek is basically demanding stuff Lou can't possibly afford!

Pg 124

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-18 02:05:21 UTC

I think that Ganwar is really sad, because, like Kek, he misses the cattle also, and he's also sad, because he never got a job, and Kek did in under 2 weeks being in U.S.A.

Pg 122

2023jsaltzman — 2015-11-18 02:09:48 UTC

I wonder why Lou says, "take another cookie, Kek"

Pg 110

2023jsaltzman — 2015-11-18 02:12:17 UTC

Is Kek afraid to talk to Dave?

Pg 142

2023jsaltzman — 2015-11-18 02:30:55 UTC

I really love how Kek thinks.

Pg 122

2023jsaltzman — 2015-11-18 02:32:57 UTC

Can Lou afford all of the supplies for the cow?

Pg 40-128

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-19 02:21:35 UTC

I think that Ganwar should give Kek a little more respect, because I think that he really needs respect in a time like this.

Pg 135

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-19 02:28:56 UTC

Are the kids making fun of Kek by saying cowboy instead of his real name Kek?

Pg 140

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-19 02:31:29 UTC

Kek LIED? Well. Not really lying. Why did he say Gol instead of something else, like the real African way of saying family.

Pg 146

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-20 02:38:12 UTC

I think that this might end badly for Kek, because he might get stung by a bee or something, but I also think that Kek will have an AMAZING time, because he will love to see the animals.

Pg 147

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-20 02:42:02 UTC

I reallly like that Kek tried to spot out the animals from Africa from the others. But there were no cows... Or is there?

Pg 154

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-20 02:45:40 UTC

Why is Kek happy about detention, and why did that boy throw an apple at Kek??? It's just SUPER MEAN!!! If I was Kek, I would probably talk to the teacher about that boy.

Pg 148

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-24 02:44:06 UTC

I feel really sad for Kek. He never saw a single cow on his trip!

Pg 170

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-24 02:46:59 UTC

I really feel like that Kek really did a random act of kindness for Hannah, because he bought her a chocolate heart. I really felt touched by this moment, because to me Kek is a really caring person.

Pg 174

2023ascibilia — 2015-11-24 02:49:41 UTC

I wonder why that those boys picked on Kek that way. Was segregation still around? I also feel really happy for Kek giving his aunt more dishes when he broke the other ones. It was really nice of Kek, and this shows that Kek is still a really caring person.

146

2023jsaltzman — 2015-12-01 01:19:11 UTC

Kek thinks too much.

Pg 174

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-01 02:49:29 UTC

I wonder why Kek was getting picked on by those boys? Were they racists? Did they think Kek was a racist? Did they think Kek was bad, because of his 'black' skin color? I think this is wrong, because nobody should be segregated like that.

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-01 02:51:42 UTC

I wonder how Hannah's mom got to be a drug addict? Did she need them and started to overdose? I wonder if this affected her brain, and how can she get fixed?

Andrew

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-01 02:53:15 UTC

Connection: I think that Kek is like the struggle of Katniss in The Hunger Games, because she struggles in going into the Hunger games like Kek struggles going into a new culture, and a new life!

Pg 176

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-02 02:38:54 UTC

Do Ganwar's scars make him a man in Africa? Why do African people honor scars?

Pg 182

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-02 02:40:57 UTC

I am really sad for Kek losing his job, because he really liked it, and he cared for the cow really nicely.

Pg 182

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-02 02:42:00 UTC

I actually wonder if Kek needs the job anymore. He payed off all the dishes, and he got them all back, but at the same time, I wonder how Lou will get a home, because she has been living in the barn for such a long time, and she doesn't have a place to stay. How will she get a roof under her head?

162

2023jsaltzman — 2015-12-02 14:56:29 UTC

I don't know why Kek is so sad? Maybe he is afraid that things will turn to life.

Pg 188

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-03 01:51:13 UTC

I feel that either Kek should say Gol is going to be gone, or just keep it a secret, but I think he should just let it out, because in like 3 months someone will be saying "Hi Kek! How is Gol doing?" And Kek will have no answer.

Pg 191

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-03 01:54:36 UTC

I think that Kek misses his mother, because he thinks that some books about Africa are all pictures of his mom. "I feel like crying because of this. I just can't hold it in." That is what I think Kek feels like right now... And so do I.

Pg 197

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-03 01:59:05 UTC

I feel like that Kek's mother is basically dead... But Kek still has hope. If I were to put myself in Kek's shoes, I would still have hope too.

Pg 206

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-04 02:25:45 UTC

I feel like Kek barely even has ANYONE left of his family. I feel really sad for this, because I can't imagine having a mother and father... Gone forever...

Pg 212

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-04 02:29:06 UTC

I really feel like Kek is basically losing everything he loves. He lost all his family, he lost most of his happiness, and he's even going to lose Gol.

Pg 222

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-04 02:32:49 UTC

I really think Lou is suffering the same thing Kek has been suffering. She is losing her home, she is going to a new place, and she will even lose, like Kek, Gol.

Pg 228

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-08 02:39:22 UTC

I really feel like Kek should not be running away, because what if he misses something important? What if his MOTHER shows up?

Pg 243

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-08 02:44:15 UTC

I really feel like Kek did the right thing taking Gol to the petting zoo, because Lou and Kek both think that Gol will be happy in the petting zoo. I will really miss Gol.

Pg 246

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-08 02:46:06 UTC

I wonder if 15 months later, Kek is waiting for a plane to either go to Africa, again, or he is waiting for his mother... Finally!

Finishing The Story (don't look Jonah)

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-08 02:48:18 UTC

I thought in the end the story was really touching, and that it was really a satisfying ending. I cannot believe Kek was finally reunited with his mother! I thought she was dead! Yay Kek!

Pg 7

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-09 02:00:29 UTC

I think the tall man in the tour is plotting something... Maybe to steal the flag!

Pg 7 (part 2)

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-09 02:02:01 UTC

I changed my thinking. I now think the fifth person is the one that stole the flag, because he was missing. I think he was working with the tall man.

Pg 14

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-09 02:08:47 UTC

I think now that that person got the flag, now I predict, I really really predict, that that was the fifth man.

Pg 22

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-10 02:15:37 UTC

I don't know why, but I think Mr. Snickerbottom (HAHA) is up to something about the flag, but I can't get my finger on what's up with him!

Pg 25

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-10 02:19:35 UTC

I wonder how the thief actually got into the chamber, and how did he get to the flag, and how did he reach into the glass?

Pg 35

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-10 02:21:53 UTC

I feel like, through their connections, Anna , José, and Henry can crack the code, and finally capture, and return, the flag.

Pg 36

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-11 02:07:21 UTC

I wonder why the "old lady with baked goods" is winning, just because of baked goods? I feel like that they should be judging the competitors by their speeches, not by food!

Pg 43

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-11 02:11:59 UTC

If Anna wants to investigate, I think they should just get down to business. They are getting down to business by discussing over a snack.

Pg 48

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-11 02:17:59 UTC

I still don't understand why that the gang are wasting time looking at some kids' drawings!

Pg 61

2023jsaltzman — 2015-12-15 02:00:12 UTC

I think snake-arm might be trying to save the flag. It would be too suspicious to go that fast. Meanwhile Snickerbottom is taking it easy, but will not let anything slip by accepting interviews.

Pg 111

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-15 02:08:40 UTC

I feel like because of the snake arm guy going into the baggage shaft means that the flag must be in here!

Pg 114

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-15 02:12:19 UTC

I think that Snake Arm is actually a really dangerous man, because he is squeezing into a dangerous space, trying to get away with a crime, with dangerous people! What motivated Snake Arm to do it, though?

Pg 128

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-15 02:24:15 UTC

Wait a second... Sinan is in the place... With Hammurabi? I feel like that the gang should've just gotten Hammurabi, and went to the BTV section.

Seriously?

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-15 02:27:10 UTC

Henry... Why do you think that's awesome that they have the flag?

Pg 166

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-16 02:15:51 UTC

I think that Anna is a risk-taker, because she will stop at NOTHING to get the flag back, even if she gets hurt!

Pg 172

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-16 02:19:58 UTC

Okay. Now I think that Snickerbottom is DEFINETLY imvolved, because his guards are trying to get into the baggage claim.

Pg 182

2023ascibilia — 2015-12-16 02:26:05 UTC

OH. MY. GOD... SNICKERBOTTOM STOLE THE FLAG!!! I think if Anna, José, and Hanry catch him, he will be DISQUALIFIED from presidency, and be sent to prison. FOR LIFE.
