He was my world and I did everything with him and he was the only father figure I had, so I relate to Chap and that "stinging sensation" in throat that he feels when he thinks about his grandfather. I'm proud that Chap is willing to fight for something Audie loved and always looked after. ]]> 2017-10-14 22:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197064873 longoria_sabrina257 https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197065166 While reading the book, I kept thinking about Michael Jackson's Earth Song, and how some scenes of the music video can relate to how Jaeger and Sonny Boy wanting to tear down the Sugar Man Swamp. . ]]> 2017-10-14 22:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197065166 longoria_sabrina257 https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197572384 When Audie first sees the ivory-billed woodpecker and describes his reactions and his overall awe of seeing a beautiful creature he's never seen before, reminds me of when I first visited the wetlands when I was in elementary school. I was in awe of all the nature and animals that surrounded it. I remember I had brought a cheap disposable camera and took so many pictures of all the different birds and plants.  ]]> 2017-10-16 20:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197572384 longoria_sabrina257 https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197574727 What I picture the car to look like in the swamp. ]]> 2017-10-16 20:59:46 UTC https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197574727 longoria_sabrina257 https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197575498 What Gertude looks like ]]> 2017-10-16 21:02:32 UTC https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197575498 longoria_sabrina257 https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197595631 When Bingo and J'miah get electro-shocked and are described as "look[ing] like stripy puffer fishes" I imagine them just blowing up like Mrs. Puff in Spongebob Squarepants. ]]> 2017-10-16 23:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197595631 longoria_sabrina257 https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197598922 I think J'miah is so cute because despite everything that's happening and the stress he's under as a Information Officer and everything that's happened until this point, he just wants to go back to their first operation and just go back to cleaning up headquarters. ]]> 2017-10-16 23:23:24 UTC https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197598922 longoria_sabrina257 https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197604575 What I imagine Buzzie, Clydine and their 15 children look like]]> 2017-10-17 00:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197604575 longoria_sabrina257 https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197605310 I think its kind of funny but thoughtful that Chap drinks black coffee just like his grandfather to "grow some hair on his chest" which means for him to be a man, and maybe that can signify that as the novel progresses, especially with the issue of Jaeger Stitch and Sonny Boy taking the Sugar Man Swamp, it is foreshadowing that Chap is going to mature and become the man his grandfather would be proud of.]]> 2017-10-17 00:12:26 UTC https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197605310 longoria_sabrina257 https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197606262 The way Gertude talks, especially with the exaggerated "sssss" reminds me of the snake from The Jungle Book, Kaa. ]]> 2017-10-17 00:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197606262 longoria_sabrina257 https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197608378 "[Gertrude] knew all about the 'official' line about Quenton, the one about 'heart attack.'

They are both just pathetic to be picking on someone young. But given that Sonny Boy grew up as a spoiled brat, and Jaeger just became a...female dog just because she has a title. It's people like that that make this world a horrible and selfish place because they don't think of anyone but themselves and they deserve to be eaten by the snakes in the swamp, because the world doesn't need any more a-holes like them that just pick on people "beneath" them. ]]> 2017-10-17 01:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/197620996 xnm719 https://padlet.com/longoria_sabrina257/wqtdbhbet4u7/wish/199415495 You really out did yourself!
