You are off to a great start. You will get better at this once we practice this more. One initial thought I had was what kinds of words describes the character Mrs. Frisby? It seems interesting that a crow helped. Does that fit with the image of a crow? Do you know anything about crows? I'm glad you liked the book so far.... ]]> 2016-05-09 15:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/109907420 figueroaj https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/109908369 1.

I wonder is , like Jeremy said , the owl is very smart. I hope he helps Mrs. Frisby . If he dosn't Timothy might get pneumonia again. Also I hope that Moving Day is not as hard as Mrs. Frisby anticipates it will be since Mr. Fitzgibbon might plow early.  I also wonder why there was rats carrying a long electric cable and why, when the cat ,Dragon, saw Mrs. Frisby but did not try to eat her.

I hope the owl will be able to help Mrs. Frisby and Timothy. To Continue , I wonder who Jeremy's (the crow) female friend is ,if Jeremy likes her , and if she is sick so Jeremy is being nice to her. To End , I realized that this book has a cliff hangers at the end of each chapter . And I hope Timothy gets well in five days not three weeks because Mr. Fitzgiobbon's  tracktor will be ready to plow in five days .   ]]> 2016-05-10 16:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/110140857 https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/110146048 I totally agree.

But I also want to know why the cat was just sitting there with one eye open. He might be sick.

Plus I am also wondering why Dragon (the Cat ) didn't chase after Mrs.Frisby ,and why the "marching" rats were carrying the electric cable and why . My prediction about the rats is that they might be smart and be using the electric wire to make a shocking boundrey around the whole to their home . It might be because if animals can talk in this book this means the book is fiction so it could happen in this story.

I also wonder whether Timothy will be strong enough for Moving Day or if he will be too weak to go to the summer home. To end, I wonder how Mrs. Frisby knows that Billy ,Mr. Fitzgibbons son, throws rocks at any moving, living thing at the grass from experience, if she saw it happen ,or if she heard about it from the gossip of the garden patch. Maybe before Mr. Frisby died he got hit by a rock or if he died because he was so small and got hit so hard he got some type of trauma and nobody found him in time. Maybe that's why mom Frisby  doesn't care for Billy or just because he throws rocks at potential animals. I also wonder how Mr. Frisby died and if they will tell us later in the book in later chapters. I can't wait to read on in the book. My dad told me the book was amazing and the movie was also awesome.

Plus, I hope that the rats will help Mrs. Frisby and the owl's words  will help Mrs. Frisby and her family. To End, it was smart of Mrs. Frisby to stop and think where she had seen the rats go into the rose bush earlier in the story. I strongly feel that this story is a really great  book . :) And I RELLY can't wait to finish/keep reading this AWESOME book .  :)       ]]> 2016-05-11 12:45:40 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/110309537 https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/110309554 The owl seemed very nice to Mrs. Frisby. I hope the rats will help her. Also, I think Timothy shouldn't try to walk anymore. He's still weak. Another thing I was wondering about was what are the rats doing? Are they using the machinery and metal parts to make a house? Or something else? And what are the rats of NIMH? One more thing is what does "the lee of the stone" have to do with that? I can not wait to find out.]]> 2016-05-11 12:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/110309554 https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/110370762 I agree.

First, I wonder why Brutus didn't let Mrs. Frisby in even though she stated her name. I also wonder how the rats have electricity even though Mr. Frisby probably taught them about it (and probably reading too), how do they have a power source? To continue , why does Nicomendus have a scar and eye patch over his left eye? Maybe it's from NIMH since he wanted to abanded it.  The Plan is mysterious as well. Why would the rats want to leave their home they have been working on for over six years? And how does Mr. Ages know the rats?  I can tell that Isabella is not a good secret keeper since she told Mrs. Frisby  A LOT about the Plan. I think it's interesting and cool she confided in a complete stranger, that she likes and might want to marry Justin. I wonder what the age limit, when your a rat, is to get married, how old Isabella and Justin are, and if Justin knows Isabella's affection towards himself or not? ]]> 2016-05-12 13:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/110555105 https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/110556408 I wonder if the rats will be able to help Mrs. Frisby and her family, and where they are taking Mrs. Frisby from the library/ conference room . Also I wonder  how Mr. Frisby became good friends with the  rats. I think that Mr. Frisby is not alive any more because Dragon ( the cat ) ate him ( Brutus gave the clue/ hint to my prediction ). To Continue, I wonder what was so bad about NIMH to make the rats leave . Why do they need a plan and for what. Isabella is not so great at keeping secrets from outsiders(Mrs.Frisby ).  I wonder how much older is Justin from Isabella. To End, I knew that the small box was a elevateor right away .It was funny how Mrs. Frisby was falling over in the elevator.   :) :)

Mrs. Frisby wouldn't have gotten in if it weren't for old, limping Mr. Ages. I also thought Justin and Nicodemous seemed really nice. I hope they can help her. Another thing is now we know what the metal and machinery equipment was for. They used it for electric. One more thing I thought was what is the plan of the Rats of NIMH? Where is NIMH? Why did Jenner the rat quit? Did Dragon eat Mr. Frisby?

They will move her house at night. But in order to do that, they can't have Dragon alert. So Mrs. Frisby will have to give Dragon a powder that Mr. Ages will make. Normally, Mr. Ages would do it, but the last time Dragon hurt Mr. Ages leg. While they were talking to Mrs. Frisby she found out that the reason her husband died was because Dragon ate him or something. So that probably is why they are doing her a favor. A little bit later in the book, Nicodemus  is telling Mrs. Frisby the story. They lived in a city near a market where they got food. But then one day when Jenner and Nicodemus went they saw a truck. At the time the rats could not read, but the truck had the letters NIMH on it. There was a big pile of food and when the rats ran up to it men with lights and nets came out from hiding places. Nicodemus and Jenner got split up. Nicodemus got caught in a net. Then when they got put in the truck, he found Jenner. Now once they were in the building, they got split individually. Rats A-1 to A-20 got injections just like B-1 to B-20. C-1 to C-23 will get  pricked with a needle just to make it fair. I wonder what the injections will do.

But I wonder why Mr. Ages could not do it at the time but I guess if Mr. Ages died that day that Timothy would have died too. I mean a broken leg isn't that bad . The rats should've told her about his death . I feel bad for Nicomendus and his family and for Jenner and his family too. They all have no idea where their sons, brothers, and friends are. But that is what Mrs. Frisby and her kids felt like. I think George and Julie are very nice people.

If they had noticed their possesions lost or maybe stolen, the might not have escaped NIMH, they might have suspected the rats and or the mice, and put harder locks on their cages. To continue, Justin, Jenner, and Nicodemus had a very good plan of how to escape NIMH and the vents and workers. If they hadn't had the injections they probably would've have been in the cages for the rest of their short or long lives. It still didn't say how Nicodemus has the scar and patch over his left eye. Maybe the couple comes back from their honey moon unexpected and something happens. To end, I wonder where the last 6 mice went. Justin (I think) went looking through every shaft but still couldn't find them. Maybe they got out of the shafts through the open shaft door or if they died in the passage ways, trying to get out.   ]]> 2016-05-23 16:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/112171366 https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/112176284 These last few chapters were a little sad yet happy. The rats went through mazes that the scientists made. The scientists were doing this for good. The rats still wanted to escape. At night they would unlock their cages and go through the vents. Then, one night the mice on the other side asked if they would unlock their cages. On the night of the escape, the rats left the cages, freed the mice, and went to the vents. Six mice got lost, and two were with the rats. When they got to the end, the two mice slipped a tiny slit. From the outside, the two mice opened the slit bigger so the rats would slide through. the  other mice that were lost, were not found by Justin. They either got lost, died, or escaped. The two living mice were Mr. Ages, and Jonathon(Mr. Frisby.) Without Jonathon and Mr. Ages, the rats would have died, got caught, or lost. Nicodemus wishes he could publish a book about his journey. He would write about the different emotional parts. One of the scary / dangerous parts would be when he got a scar and eye patch. (It still did not say how.) The rats and 2 mice found a mansion-like house with food. It was temporarily abandoned because they were on a honey moon. They ate, read, and watched for a guy who did the lawn. Lastly, I thought Nicodemus said Jenner left? If so, why? And what does NIMH stand for? This book keeps me on the edge of my seat.]]> 2016-05-23 17:17:03 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/112176284 https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/112179192       It was very nice of the rats to help the mice by letting them come with them instead of leaving them there. Mrs Frisby wouldn't even be a Frisby since women take the men's last name or either keep their own or hyphenate it - like my step-mom did. ABIGAL YUNKER-FLEMING. She would've been either married to a different mouse or would've been single. There would've been no Timothy, Teresa, Martin, or Cynthia. She would've had different kids or no kids at all because a group of rats decided to bring along some mice and he and Mr. Ages didn't get blown away by the wind of an air vant like their friends did. I'm glad they did all od the testing to the rats , because if they didn't do that, the rats and mice wouldn't have been able to get out of the labrotory or NIMH. I wonder what that stands for. They still haven't told us that yet in the book.  I'm so happy that Jonathon or Mr. Ages did not get blown away because there would be no kids, no Mrs. Frisby , and even if Jonathon didn't die But Mr. Ages died , there would be no Timothy. He would die from either the poisinus spider bite or the pneumonia. How Nicodemus lost his eye is another cliff hanger. It's just like Mr. Frisby died but it didn't take as long to tell us. But Mrs. Frisby and I ( us ) found out about the rats latre than we found out about Mr. Frisby. Maybe they tell us in our next assignment. I hope. Do you remember Billy, Mr. Fitzgibbons son, well they still didn't tell us how Mrs. Frisby knows about him throwing rocks. Obviosly it wasn't because of her husband, we already know how he died, Dragon killed him while he was giving him the sleeping powder. I wonder whether he put the powder in or if he was killed before he could put the powder in. They also didn't tell us if he was eaten and some rat or Mr . Ages saw it happen or if the bite was too deep and he died because he lost too much blood, there is a lot of questions but not that much answers. I also wonder what NIMH stands for and why Jenner left.  ]]> 2016-05-23 17:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/112179192 https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/112186046 I agree with your comment. It was weird how Julie and Dr. Schultz did not notice anything missing. But if they noticed they would have done locks and what you said. I think Justin, Nicodemus, and Jenner had a good plan too. Your other stuff I agreed with too.

To Continue, I wonder why Julie was slow and didn't care a whole lot when Justin escaped. Also, I wonder how Julie, Gorge, and Dr.Schultz would know the rats know how to read  , where the rats are going to live, if the next part of the story is about the Fittzgibbon's farm or the one they are in currently, and where the mice are in the ducts or if they died or got out. To End, I hope the rat and Mr. Ages get the powder for Dragon's food bowl soon so they can start working on moving Mrs. Frisby's home.   ]]> 2016-05-25 15:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/112539242 https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/112544550 I agree with you about saying these chapters have been a little sad and happy,And that was a good summery.:)   ]]> 2016-05-25 15:33:15 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/112544550 figueroaj https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/112561903 1.

It said, in earlier chapters , that nobody, including Dragon, wouldn't go into the rosebush. But I guess it is a precaution towards any danger and Dragon. To continue, I wonder why Nicodemus couldn't show Mrs. Frisby the Main Hall himself and tell her about the "Plan". The actual "Plan" doesn't make much sense , " Live without stealing " , until you read on in the book. And why do they need so much food if they are moving to Thorn Valley soon. Wouldn't it be hard to move all that food to Thorn Valley soon. It's probably going to be hard to move it over the tall brick wall. I disagree with Nicodemus opinion about liking poetry. I don't like poetry that much. But, I agree with him about liking the subject, History. I wonder what a monk is. Maybe it's like royalty, like Kings, Queen's, Princess's , and Princes. So, that's how the "Plan" works. They don't want to be hated by humans. I feel ssooo bad for the old man, the Toy Tinker. He fixed little kids toys when they are broken, that's so sweet. He must've been very nice. I wonder if anybody found him under "the grave" the rats dung, or better yet, made. Now we know how they get electricity. From the electric power source cord cable thing majig.

Did you read on in the book cause you said "till you read on". Also, it said the rangers didn't see/find the grave that the rats made. To End, I agree about liking History. :) :) If the rats say that they can move Mrs.Frisby's they  should be able to move the food. :)

As Nicodemus finished the story, Justin and Mr. Ages walked in.They said it was about noon and Mrs. Frisby rushed out to feed her kids. She only told them a bit about the rats. Then she said she might be late for supper. I bet she is. She dashed back to the rats. She went down the main hall with Justin. She saw a mini plow. Justin said Nicodemus built it. He also said it takes 8 people to make it work. Later on in the main hall Mrs. Frisby saw a big food supply. it was part of the plan. Once Justin was done showing Mrs. Frisby the main hall, she went to talk with Nicodemus. He told her that  the plan was to not steal. They did not want to steal because they read about rats. People thought they just spread diseases and stole. One day Justin, Nicodemus, and Jenner were searching somewhere to live. On their path, they saw a dead guy. He was a toy tinker. they took his tools because they were just the right size. They think he died because he was digging his jeep out of some mud. He went to get help but collapsed.Then they found their recent home. They used electric and water  from Mr. Fitzgibbons. Jenner and Nicodemus argued about where to live. Now the Rats are thinking about relocating. Will Mrs. Frisby miss them? And why is it, that to not steal, you have to steal]]> 2016-06-01 17:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/113359548 figueroaj https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/113505769 1.

To end, I know that I knew it was Jenner and the 6 rats who agreed with Jenner about the Plan ( live without stealing ) who died trying to seal motors from the store.That was a sad part in the book reading assignment. ]]> 2016-06-03 21:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/113649588 https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/113712131 The past few chapters have been adventurous, troublesome, and exciting for Mrs. Frisby. First, Mr. Ages told Mrs. Frisby that Mr. Frisby was worried that Mrs. Frisby would get creeped out / worried because he lives longer than her. I also wonder if her kids would live longer. The reason Jenner left was because he disagreed with the plan. The arguments were friendly, but the last straw was when Jenner destroyed the machines. 6 mice agreed with Jenner so they went too. Next they were prepping Mrs. Frisby for putting the powder in dragon's bowl. Then, Mrs. Frisby went in. Billy trapped Mrs. Frisby in a colander while she put the powder in dragons dish. Billy wanted to keep Mrs. Frisby as a pet, and his parents (The Fitzgibbons) said he could keep him for a few days. While Mrs. Frisby was in the Fitzgibbons dead bird's cage, she heard their conversations. They were talking about 7 dead rats at a hardware store. She also  heard that Mr. Fitzgibbons said that he told the guys involved with the scene about the rats at his house. All the Fitzgibbons went to bed, and she tried to escape. She could not lift the hatch but then Justin came in. He freed her out of the cage. On the way to Mrs. Frisby's house, Justin said that the cinder block was not coming out that easily.  A little bit earlier, when he rescued her, she asked him how he knew she was alive. Then he told her that he was under the floor the whole time. When Mrs. Frisby got to her house, the rats were moving her house. Mrs. Frisby's neighbor (the shrew) bit Aurthur's leg because she thought the rats were stealing her house. That's a nice neighbor. Sort of. Anyway, they moved her house! The rats just are filling in the holes.]]> 2016-06-05 17:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/113712131 https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/113811758     I hope that Mrs. Frisby can warn the rats in time or Justin will have to tell them. It must have been extremely scary for Mrs. Frisby to locked in the Fitzgibbon's old, dead, bird cage and not at home with her children eating dinner before the rats move their house. Speaking of the rats moving their house, I bet they are all very grateful for the rats for moving their house there isn't a chance that Timothy will get pneumonia moving to the summer house which I am  pretty sure is a log but I might be wrong. I am glad that Justin heard all the commotion and after the Fitzgibbon's went to bed, that he could help save her. Even though the people think that these rats are vicious robbers, they actually are pretty nice. Still, I wouldn't want them in my house. But I wonder why Mrs. Frisby couldn't see Billy's feet in through the bars of the stool. Maybe he had them raised on the chair like I do in my seat. ]]> 2016-06-06 15:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/113811758 https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/113814157    I don't think it was that sad that they died. It is definitly a lose, especially to Nicodemus. But they are characters in a book. It said in the book that Porgy died of old age. They were probably just saving it for another little animal came along, such as Mrs. Frisby. ]]> 2016-06-06 15:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/113814157 https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/113923124 To begin, wonder who helped Brutus get out of the escape exit and died because of going courageously back into the tunnel to get the other rat that tripped Brutus running out. Also, I pondered why the people who came to capture the rats used the toxic gas to catch the rats that would just make them die even though the rats had a plan the people didn't know it. To end we never found out if it really was he group and Jenner. And I hope that Mrs. Frisby and her kids will continue their life and get to visit the rats.  :) :)]]> 2016-06-07 11:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/113923124 https://padlet.com/figueroaj/x7xof1dxfmkc/wish/113925666 I agree with you about saying/typing that it must have been a little scary for      Mrs. Frisby to be in Porgy's old cage,and saying that people think that these rats are mean creatures and that they only are thieves in this book and they aren't.

His plan also was to have all except  10 rats to go to the other house. (one they were thinking about moving to.) The 10 remaining rats would stay at the old house so it did not look like an empty burrow. If they heard a gas getting sprayed, the 10 rats would scurry out another exit, and trick the scientists. During this process (when the men came,) Brutus inhaled a little gas, tripped on a rat lying on the ground, and got help from another rat. Brutus passed out outside and the rat that helped him (for he could not see the rat's face in the dark,) went back in to help the rat on the floor. Those 2 rats died and the men took them away. I bet they were from NIMH. Once the men left, Mrs. Frisby  and Mr. Ages went up to Brutus. Mr. Ages gave him a powder he made just in case this happened. This book always left me on the edge of my seat. The book still never said if the 7 rats was Jenner and his allies. I also pondered who the 2 rats were that died. When Mrs. Frisby told her kids about the rats and NIMH, I thought they should make a sequel because Martin said he wanted to visit the rats and I even thought of a title. Martin Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. It might need a little help, but I'm working on it. This book was a very good one and I'm going to miss posting to you.

One thing i was wondering about was why would the men supposudly from NIMH not just try to lure the rats out instead of using the "toxic gas". It would have killed all the rats and if they wanted them for their study's the rats would all be dead. So, unless they either weren't from NIMH and they really were worried about rabies or they were from NIMH but they thought or knew that the "toxic gas" wouldn't kill they rats so they could keep studying them. I also wonder who helped Brutus out of the rat hole. I kinda of hope that it wasn't Justin for Isabella's sake. Don't you remember her reaction at the meeting. I would feel sssoooo bad for her.
