https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5 Fun fact: The Sakara flowers are blooming in Japan, there are festivals each year to look at their beauty ;) Made by Collette Hammond en-us 2022-03-16 16:38:43 UTC 2025-11-09 06:20:05 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f458.png collettehammond https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102238630 "Recess, for us, was a matter of spilling out into the clearing around the school house twice a day to jump rope or play hopscotch or otherwise so oats"  I feel like this is different from out Recess from when we were little. We would play on the playground and clime around things. We would do similar things such as jump rope or hopscotch, but we did not sow oats so that's a little different from us than them.]]> 2022-03-18 16:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102238630 trinityhortonruf https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102239710 "To be who I'd been before: someone who had never prayed for blisters. Someone who had never even considered doing so." Annabelle sounds like she has regret and feelings ashamed of herself. She doesn't like the person she has become because of Betty.]]> 2022-03-18 16:40:49 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102239710 trinityhortonruf https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102243577 "Why are you so mean?" I noticed Annabelle doesn't seem afraid of Betty right now, or is showing any hostility.]]> 2022-03-18 16:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102243577 nicholascalabro https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102243724 I notice that the main character feels bad for what she has thought in the past. Annabelle just wants life to go back to the way that it was before Betty. In the text Annabelle states, "I wanted to rewind the clock to where it had been before she arrived. I wanted to undo. To be unremember. To be who I had been before: someone who had never prayed for blisters. Someone who had never considered doing so" (Wolk 63). When she says she is showing how mature she is because she showing great amounts of remorse for her previous actions. Also Annabelle believes that if things went back to the way they were before Betty then she wouldn't have to feel the extreme regret for what she has done.]]> 2022-03-18 16:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102243724 xanderarias https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102246495 Annabelle states,"I wanted to undo. To unremember. To be who id never been before: someone who had never prayed for blisters. Someone who had never considered doing so." I don't think she should be regretful for wishing those things because she has done many bad things to her, animals, and people she loves. she threatened her brothers, hit her with a stick, and killed a quail. I think wishing harm upon her is sort of justifiable considering Betty's actions.]]> 2022-03-18 16:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102246495 collettehammond https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102251762 " Her face and hands looked tender, a little scalded, but so much improved that I could hardly believe she had been poisoned."  Betty had gotten Poison Ivy pretty badly. She got it so bad that her skin had gotten tender and "Scarded" briefly in boiling water or when skin is so bad after damage or hurt is inflicted on it. This means that the Poison was so bad that it looked like her skin was boiled.]]> 2022-03-18 16:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102251762 xanderarias https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102255737 Annabelle states,"Why are you so mean?" In this moment even though Betty is a threat of sorts to her she seems unwavered by her presence. In a situation where she would normally be scared she seems completely fine and is also confronting her.]]> 2022-03-18 16:51:50 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102255737 nicholascalabro https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102264188 In the text the author does extremely good job using imagery to create a very vivid image in the readers mind. One example of this when in the text Annabelle states, "I watched the blood spill down her cheek"(Wolk 65). This sentence creates a perfect image in the readers mind of a person with a streak of blood down their cheek like it's a tear.]]> 2022-03-18 16:58:02 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102264188 collettehammond https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102330963 "So I told him everything from the beginning . About her and her threats." I'm happy Annabelle finally told her parents about Betty! I was waiting for what felt like forever in agony for Annabelle to confess and to get Betty in trouble. I am happy Annabelle opened up to the adults so they can fix the problem. But I think things are going to get really complicated for Annabelle now that she told on Betty. I think Betty is now going to do everything in her power to make Annabelle's life horrible because she told on her.]]> 2022-03-18 17:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2102330963 chaselafond https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105193122 Annabelle states " Ruth lost her eye. It was as simple as that." that is almost crazy that someone would throw a rock at someones eye and even if they weren't aiming for them the chances that it could hit someones eye are small you would need a small rock that would not hit there eye lids or the bone below or above your eye and they threw the rock with enough force so that it made her eye bleed. Then you would have to count in anyone who would actual throw the rock and from what we read there is only Betty and when Annabel almost interrogated her she said well what if they were aiming for the German so that makes me believe the Betty is the person who actually threw the rock because she was almost defending her self. ]]> 2022-03-21 12:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105193122 chaselafond https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105221446 through out the whole book Annabelle has faced some challenges. and they are not always easy to deal with like she was saying she was beaten and bused but she also had been emotionally hurt when the quail died I would have assumed she was hurt by that and how Betty threatened her brothers and there are so many other thing that can have hurt her threw out the book.]]> 2022-03-21 12:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105221446 trinityhortonruf https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105679866 "Ruth lost her eye. It was as simple as that." I wonder how other characters in the story feel about this and how it will affect Ruth's life in the future. Her life has changed because of an accident that happened at a young age. I wonder how she will cope with it.]]> 2022-03-21 16:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105679866 trinityhortonruf https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105689461 "You're the only bully I know, Betty, but you're going to leave me alone now. And not because Toby said so. And not because Ruth got hurt. You just will. I'm not going to give you anything. I'm not going to worry about you. I'm not going to run away from you. I'm just not. So you might as well leave me alone and get on with something else." I feel glad that Annabelle said this. Annabelle isn't stating the specifics in why, but she just seems so done with Betty at this point and wanted her out of her life. This doesn't mean everything after will be happy. I'm sure Annabelle has a lot of trauma from Betty and there is more to come.]]> 2022-03-21 16:14:24 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105689461 collettehammond https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105692767 " 'But we're going to sell the house and move to the city now.' I had spent years growing up with Ruth, one of the sweetest gentlest people I knew," I think that Betty and her "Boyfriend" did this to Ruth to give Annabelle a hint that they were coming for her/ going to make her pay. Ruth did not deserve this. As Annabelle said she was a kind girl who loved to see and be around Annabelle. It's not fair that she has to move away from her best friend and the place she loves because someone had done this to her and it had nothing to do with her.]]> 2022-03-21 16:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105692767 chaselafond https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105697860 I think that it is sad how ruth is moving away and I am curiose if it is because someone hit her in the eye or somthing worse and maybe ruth was telling the truth about moving sooner but when they saw how annabelle and ruth got along they decided to stay but ever since betty got there she hasent been talking about ruth very much at all and maybe her parents think that they are not friends anymore and that could be hurtful to ruth and anabell becaus they are best friends and they are each others only friend it seems like sothat could be bad for anabell because she cant tell anyone about betty and how she has been threataning her.]]> 2022-03-21 16:18:37 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105697860 trinityhortonruf https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105704530 "I have to go to a school in Sewickley now." I feel bad for Ruth and Annabelle that Ruth is leaving. Annabelle didn't wish her well or hug her. It then says "I didn't know that this would be the last time I'd ever see her." If that really is the last time Annabelle would ever see Ruth, I feel sad. Annabelle really cared about Ruth and was even happy that she was teased rather than Ruth because of how fragile she was. They seemed like good friends.]]> 2022-03-21 16:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105704530 collettehammond https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105712893 "My Grandfather had shaken his head and mumbled something about a wolf in sheep's clothing" This faze means that someone or something may act one way but they are really hiding their true personality or things that they have done and do.]]> 2022-03-21 16:25:53 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105712893 nicholascalabro https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105721288 Betty has done such an amazing job manipulating her parents throughout the story. Betty has done such a good job that her father is agreeing with what she says. In the text Mr. Glengarry states, "That's enough now. Toby's crazy. Everybody knows that. And you can't expect anything but crazy business from a crazy man"(Wolk 91). When Betty's father is making this statement it is clear that he has no doubt in his mind that what Betty's saying isn't true. The way that Betty is able to manipulate her parents so well is because of the way she acts. At school Betty is a bully but at home she is a scared little girl.]]> 2022-03-21 16:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2105721288 nicholascalabro https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2106224829 Based on what we have learned about Aunt Lily, we can infer that she thinks she knows more than she does. One example of this is when in the text Aunt Lily states, "Annabelle, don't think you think you might have been exaggerating a bit? Betty seems like a sweet God-fearing girl to me, and she's brave enough to let us know what Toby's done, even though he's the most frightening thing in this country"(Wolk 101). When she this saying this it is clear that she doesn't know what she is talking about. We know this because we know what Betty is like form earlier in the text.]]> 2022-03-21 21:59:45 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2106224829 nicholascalabro https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2106247867 I notice that Annabelle is a very persistent person who wants to figure what is going on no matter how she does it. In the text Annabelle states, "Then can I please go up to the belfry so I can see what there is to see out that window"(Wolk 107). When she says this Annabelle is showing that she is so persistent and willing to do whatever it takes to figure out what happens to Ruth even if it has consequences.]]> 2022-03-21 22:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2106247867 xanderarias https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2106360531 Ruth states, "but we're going to sell the house and move to the city." It is understandable that Ruth's parents would want to get away. They were not planing on staying in the town the long anyways and Ruth getting hurt was their reason to get out of there and move to the city. They are probobly worried that someone could get hurt again and wants Ruth to be safe.]]> 2022-03-22 00:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2106360531 xanderarias https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2106374660 Betty states, "I saw Toby on the hillside up above where Ruth got hurt". Betty is using her trickery to sway her family into believing her. Betty most likely had thought that Annabelle and her family would come over and prepared by swaying her family. She told them false things about what happened to make it seem like she is telling the truth. Because Betty had talked to her family before she was able to trick them into thinking that she is telling the truth.]]> 2022-03-22 00:34:15 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2106374660 xanderarias https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2106396877 The text states, " My grandfather had shaken his head and mumbled something about a sheep in wolf's clothing." Her grandfather may have been thinking about Betty when he said a wolf in sheep's clothing. That is basically what Betty is around her family. Normally she is a wolf on the hunt going after her prey. But when she is near her family she disguises herself as the sheep and plays the victim. But if her Grandfather did mean sheep in wolf's clothing then he may have been talking about Toby being a good person but being painted in a bad light.]]> 2022-03-22 00:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2106396877 chaselafond https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2112613803 I thought that it was very unique for a book to add almost an ascent that you can imagine its when Mr. Ansel said "goot morgan" I thought that I relay brought out how the character sounded and I am pretty sure that everyone else at my table agreed because I heard Xander talking about it but to say it again I have never seen this done in A book before where they change the words to have different letters so you can almost hear there voice. ]]> 2022-03-24 20:33:44 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2112613803 chaselafond https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2112625652 I think that it was very rude and like a boss move from when Andy entered the school. He just said wheres Betty and when no one heard him in my opinion I think he was almost like I own this place why argent you answering me and so he said it much louder. Then when that happened the teacher answered and when she said no Betty was not here then he just left like school dint matter witch it did not for the boys anyway because they where just going to work on the farm anyway so originally I thought that he did not care about school but then I heard wheres Betty then I thought why would he want to talk to Betty and then he just left so I thought that he might be looking for betty.]]> 2022-03-24 20:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2112625652 chaselafond https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2119760281 2022-03-29 16:40:28 UTC https://padlet.com/collettehammond/wv4fsbbyx7yx0ba5/wish/2119760281
