But then Miranda had a short conversation with the boy in the army jacket and surprisingly, he was very nice and seemed as if he would never lay a hand on anyone. This leads me to believe that Miranda will try to take on the task of figuring out why the boy punched Sal, which would be a man vs. man conflict. ]]> 2017-05-24 22:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/173725885 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/173806591 So far I find the book very intriguing because its very intresting how Miranda is telling the story as if she is talking to someone. I'm also enjoying it because in the first 30 pages there is already a mystery to be solved involved with the kid in the army jacket. ]]> 2017-05-25 12:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/173806591 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/173806852 I think that the conflict is going to have to do with her mom during their trip to the $20,000 Pyramid.
Also, I like the book because it leaves a lot of blank holes in the story that makes you want to read more to find out the missing pieces in the puzzle.

I think that Miranda is going to try to figure out why her and Sal are no longer friends. I also she's also going to try to figure out why the kid punched Sal. I also like the book so far, it seems to be very interesting.]]> 2017-05-25 12:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/173808414 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/173808679 I think the conflict will have something to do with her mother. I think this because her mother is so focused on the game show. I also think this because Miranda's mother doesn't let her do  somethings.  ]]> 2017-05-25 12:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/173808679 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/174515911 In the scene where Marcus and Miranda interact it takes place with Miranda taking Marcus to a dentist office in the back of the school. While Miranda was waiting for the next child to get done because she was helping kids back and forth she was reading a book and Marcus looked over to see what she was reading, it was called  "A Wrinkle in Time" which was about time travel. Marcus had also had read the book and mentioned how time travel could be possible. After this, Marcus caught Miranda's attention and he stated explaining the end of the book using a lot of confusing physics. I think this scene shows how both Miranda and Marcus have an interest in time travel or something to do with it.  I also feel this scene had contributed to the plot because during their conversation Marcus had said, "Einstein says common sense is just a habit of thought. It's the way we are used to thinking of things but a lot of the time it gets in the way....In the way of whats true"  This appeared intriguing to me because I feel that Marcus is trying to tell Miranda to open her eyes from common sense and see what's in front of her. Of course since this is a mystery we would not know that yet, but I feel that this interaction has set up the mystery of the book.

When they are interacting they are talking about Mirandas book. They both have different opinions on the book, Marcus thinks that the book lied and Miranda thinks the opposite. What the two of them have in common is they both like the same subject on the book. I think this scene  contributes to the plot because it seems like Miranda and Marcus are going to interact more]]> 2017-05-31 00:29:19 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/174524016 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/174606475 In the scene where Marcus and Miranda talk to each other we learn that Marcus had read Miranda's book and had though a lot about it.
I feel this contributes to the plot by showing that Marcus is a character of mystery and could have many possibilities in  how he will be presented.

What they both have in common is that converse about Marcus' book. I feel that since Miranda and Marcus interacted and Marcus is the one who punched Sal and made Miranda and Sal no longer friends.]]> 2017-05-31 12:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/174606568 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/174685884 The first word is deceptive because she seems to be mean to Annemarie but it turns out she was just looking out for her health. The second is cryptic because she seems to judge everything around her. In the text she says "Oh, Annemarie, your turquoise sweater. It's your favorite. Poor you!"]]> 2017-05-31 18:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/174685884 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/174695192 Two words to describe Julia are snobby and selfish. The first word snobby means that she thinks that her tastes are way better than others and that she is very social and outgoing and won't tolerate anyone lower-class. I  know this because in the book it says , "...where her parents had bought her a lot of it, along with a little silver watch she was always shoving in people's faces." This shows how one of Julia's characteristics is snobby because she is always showing off. For the second word selfish, which means all you care about is yourself.and in the test it states "she wasn't going to have lunch with Annemarie for "the remainder of the week." Julia was big on announcing things in a loud voice so that everyone could hear." This shows how Julia loves to gather attention around herself and doesn't care about other peoples feelings as long as she is popular. As you can see snobby and selfish are both traits that really describe the character Julia.]]> 2017-05-31 19:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/174695192 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/174868450 Two words I would use to describe Julia are snobby and inconsiderate. I think these are two ways to describe her because she doesn't realize that other people don't have the same stuff. I also believe she is snobby because her parents have a lot of money so she travels the world and has exspensive stuff.]]> 2017-06-01 18:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/174868450 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/174967932 Two words to describe Julia is selfish because she doesn't want Miranda to be friends with Annemarie. And the other word is rude because she tried to ruin Miranda and Annermarie's plans to hang out at the deli. Another reason  Julia is rude is because to purposefully  disses on the deli to try to make Annemarie  be grossed out by the deil and stop going there. 

I agree with Alexis the words you choose to describe Julia also apply to her personality. I also agree that Julia is very inconsiderate.

I think that this means that the laughing man is actually just a kind man who became homeless and went crazy. I do think this could be a piece of foreshadowing because it leaves another mystery on who the laughing man is, what information he give to us, what happened to him to make him become who he is now.

I think that along with Marcus he could go in any direction of action. He could be discovered to be helpful, or turn out to be writing the notes to Miranda.

She called him a CSP (crazy shaped person). I think it could be a piece of foreshadowing because maybe she is writing all of these letters to the laughing man, or it could turn out that he's been completely all along and just that people jump to assumptions because he's  homeless and mumbles to himself. 

I also agree with what Angelina said about the laughing man about him probably being normal and that something made him become the way he's now.]]> 2017-06-06 13:12:40 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/175382278 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/175382848 The way Miranda describes the laughing man is interesting because she said he reminds her of Mr. Nunzi. Its also interesting because she first said that something look familiar about him. I think it can be foreshadowing because maybe he has something to do with the letters.]]> 2017-06-06 13:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/175382848 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/175794039 Two major revelations that happened during this reading section is finding out the laughing man was the one who stole Jimmy's Fred Flinstone piggy bank with the two dollar bills and Colin randomly kissing Miranda. In the first scene it starts off with Miranda telling more about "A Wrinkle In Time" to Belle. Once Miranda finished she decided to buy chocolate milk and when she was getting her change back Belle told Miranda how the laughing man came in and used two dollar bills and if she wanted them as her change. That is when Miranda had the horrible realization that the laughing is the one who stole from Jimmy. The second revelation started when Miranda saw Colin going to Sal's place to hang out. Miranda was asked by Sal to join them but of course with the whole Sal thing she said no. So, she went to her own apartment and then out of the blue Colin came to her door looking very sick. Then suddenly he kissed Miranda. She was shocked for a second then kissed him back. This scene also reveals that Colin didn't leave the roses for Annemarie since he kissed her. These are the two scenes that I hope to find more about and that I think could be revelations.]]> 2017-06-08 20:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/175794039 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/175826441 The two major revelations are when Miranda finds out that the laughing man stole the money. The way she found out was kind of shocking to me. Miranda was talking to belle about the book and when belle saw the laughing man across the street she told Miranda about all the two dolor bills. The other scene I think is a major revelation is when Collin randomly kissed Miranda. In this scene Miranda heard a knock on her door and when she opened her door Collin just kissed her. But in my opinion I think there could be another scene that could kind of answer this question. In this scene Miranda and Julia don't hate each other. They are trying out a cake recipe for Annemarie's birthday and Miranda finds out that Julia doesn't just like clothes and jewelry. She finds out that she likes other things to.]]> 2017-06-09 04:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/175826441 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/175872377 The first scene is when she realizes that Julia actually cares about what happens to Annemarie and that Miranda is probably in the way of them. And the other revelation she has is when Miranda leaves a note to Julia and it has her phone number on it and they hang out. And when they're hanging out Miranda finds out things about  Julia that surprised her like that Julia wants other things other than clothes and jewelry, which surprised Miranda.

Angelina also picked two really good scenes about revealations and I was surprised when I found out that the "laughing man" stole from Jimmy's.]]> 2017-06-09 12:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/175872377 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/176465523 The mystery in this book was really hard to solve because the Laughing Man was Marcus from the future. So when seeing Marcus as a twelve year-old then as an old man they looked nothing alike. Which is why no one would've guessed that Marcus was the Laughing Man. Which is what made it so hard to solve. I also liked the book because it produced an interesting topic and mystery out of a perspective from someone our age.]]> 2017-06-14 21:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/176465523 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/176539676 The mystery was so hard to solve because Miranda didn't know who was writing the notes. When she found out that the one writing the letters was the laughing man. I liked this book a lot because of the mystery and how she has to solve it based on the clues]]> 2017-06-15 12:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/176539676 https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/176541081 What made the mystery hard to solve was that it included time travel which shouldn't be possible.

Another thing that made it hard was that it dealt with time traveling and  nobody is really used to that. I really  enjoyed this book because the was many twists and turns and  I didn't know what was gonna happen next.  And it is hard to me to like books but, I found myself wanting to read more and more of it]]> 2017-06-15 23:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/josbun/vm7fhewq9lpd/wish/176608894
