This is important because this dialogue is the beginning of the problem they will eventually face trying to fix everything.

This dialogue is also very important because this leads to Riley and Emmet trying to find the last fallen star for most of the rest of the book.

There is also tension between the Horangi and Auntie Okja since they are the cursed clan and allegedly killed many gifted people. They learn about a prophecy and are able to clear up the false accusations. This is important because all of them decide to work together and help Riley find the last fallen star which is supposed to save the world.

This is important because it leads to Riley and Emmet searching for the fallen star and this is where the book starts to get interesting.]]> 2022-01-05 15:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976676906 avruddarraju https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976677107 Riley finds the Horangi Clan's (The cursed clan) HQ and finds that there are many Horangi scholars there. She also learns that many things she was told about the Horangi is false and that the council lied to them about what really happened with the Horangi. This is important because it leads to Riley becoming a real Horangi and they help her find the last fallen star.]]> 2022-01-05 15:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976677107 avruddarraju https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976677340 Everyone finally figures out what really happened to Emmett's mother and they learn that the Cave Bear Goddess isn't so good after all.

She also says words like gwisin, imyeonjo, and dokkaebi which are all different types of creatures that the gifted people know about. I think that because they describe them by comparing them to other animals.]]> 2022-01-05 15:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976678786 avruddarraju https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976679580 The book is mostly about the main character, Riley, searching for the last fallen star to save her sister so the main theme/thematic concepts are love and dedication.]]> 2022-01-05 15:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976679580 avruddarraju https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976683550 The main character, Riley, uses a hyperbole when she says "a dam of tears explodes behind my eyes" (Kim 92). This means that Riley started to cry very hard.]]> 2022-01-05 15:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976683550 avruddarraju https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976683807 Riley, uses a hyperbole when she says "There's a thundering crash down the hall, and I jolt out of my chair" (Kim 179). This means that something probably happened down the hall and Riley jumps out of her seat to see what happened.]]> 2022-01-05 15:32:32 UTC https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976683807 avruddarraju https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976684038 The author gives a bird-like creature the ability to talk and that is personification. The line is "The volunteer's hair catches on fire and the inmyeonjo cackles. "You will never tame me!" she shrieks."

(Kim 235) This line means that the other person was staring at Riley very intensely.]]> 2022-01-05 15:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976684235 avruddarraju https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976684473 Riley uses a simile when she says "My heart soars like an inmyeonjo. It's my sister. It's Hattie" (Kim 281). Riley is trying to say that she is very happy her sister was returned to her.]]> 2022-01-05 15:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976684473 avruddarraju https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976686873 Question: How did Riley change throughout the course of the book?

Answer: Riley changes from being a girl who doesn't think much of herself and desperately wanting to be a Gom to someone who learns that she is actually the last fallen star and she is more special then she could ever imagine.]]> 2022-01-05 15:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976686873 avruddarraju https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976688046 Question: How is Emmett affected after realizing what really happened to his mom?

Answer: Emmett is at peace with his mother after learning what really happened and seeing her one last time. Emmett is now much less "dark" and is much more in contact with his emotions after meeting his mom.]]> 2022-01-05 15:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976688046 avruddarraju https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976689213 Question: What do you think the next book, The Last Fallen Moon, is going to be about based on how this book ended?

Answer: Because of the title, "The Last Fallen Moon", I think it might introduce a new character and different people since Riley is a part of the dark sun and there might be someone else who is a part of the dark moon.]]> 2022-01-05 15:34:21 UTC https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976689213 avruddarraju https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976690807 Riley talks about herself and we learn all about her about how she is and how she looks.

Riley says she has to prove she is not a rebel and that she and Emmett can save Hattie by themselves. This shows that Riley is a little stubborn, and determined to save her sister.]]> 2022-01-05 15:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976691506 avruddarraju https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976692175 Riley realizes that she can't be a part of either clan that she was a part of. Although Riley can't be part of them, she understands that she can define herself based on her actions and that she has a choice. This shows that Riley is understanding and smart because she knows what everyone was trying to tell her all along.]]> 2022-01-05 15:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/avruddarraju/xmnzc87fduckp3kx/wish/1976692175
