https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/yoau2rfjmfwjlu1p Such great thinking yesterday - you guys are awesome! Keep up the dialogue about this book. en-us 2020-05-12 10:54:01 UTC 2025-11-13 01:27:43 UTC hello@padlet.com tracyholland1 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/yoau2rfjmfwjlu1p/wish/567193719 I loved reading your entries yesterday; so interesting how this is not the book you thought you were going to read - I love that. That old addage - don't judge a book by its cover applies to this one. What new things worried you today? ]]> 2020-05-12 10:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/yoau2rfjmfwjlu1p/wish/567193719 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/yoau2rfjmfwjlu1p/wish/567614385 I cannot believe Tommy, an 8 year old, has to be in that horrible Iron Lung, when kids his age should be playing outside, and going to the park. You were right Mrs. Holland, The new roomate does have it worse than her.]]> 2020-05-12 14:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/yoau2rfjmfwjlu1p/wish/567614385 s080602 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/yoau2rfjmfwjlu1p/wish/567692802 I feel so bad for all the polio patients everywhere. In books, in real life, anywhere. Peg is learning an important lesson though. She was grateful to breath. If everyone on earth was content with breathing and walking, the world would be a lot better. She also over came the tent and iron lung. I think that is amazing! I really hope she does walk at the end of this book. ]]> 2020-05-12 14:29:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/yoau2rfjmfwjlu1p/wish/567692802 s080711 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/yoau2rfjmfwjlu1p/wish/567793204 AN OXYGEN TANK AND A CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE 
Ahh! They put her in the iron lung! I can’t believe. . .yay! She says she’s going to fight the disease, and obviously she does or else she wouldn’t have been able to write this book. Wow, this is awful, the only thing I can imagine because staying at 102 for a couple days happened to me, with Influenza B. Yay! Again! She swallowed, woo-hooooo. . .!!! And what! The milkshake saved her!? Awesome. 

“YOU CAN’T BURN MY BEAR!” 
wow, that’s just sad.everything that helped, mentally, through Polio was now getting burned and thrown out like trash:( not as much in this chapter as in the other one but still really good. Tommy seems nice, but I feel bad for him because I think he’s going to die. He said that lots of people get out of the iron lung and are fine, which is foreshadowing:( 

HOT PACKS
I really like Tommy and I think he’s a good character. I thought it was really nice of Mom, Dad and Dr. Bevis for the painted toenails, compliments and radio. It sounds like a nice podcast, the Lone Ranger and I wonder what’s going to happen. Will her new roommates replace Tommy or add to the number? It’s so sad. Hot packs, oof is an understand ment. I wonder what the second part is, can we read another chapter? PLEASE!!]]> 2020-05-12 15:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/yoau2rfjmfwjlu1p/wish/567793204 s076533 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/yoau2rfjmfwjlu1p/wish/567798064 Gloria they did not put her in the iron lung, they put her in an oxygen tank.

I am so happy that she is out of isolation! But I don't get how Tommy doesn't have to be in isolation. He does not seem better than she was when she was in isolation. 

I wonder if she is going to walk and get better. It is so sad that some people never get to go out of iron lungs. I am so glad there is a polio vaccine. Polio is sad.]]> 2020-05-12 15:03:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/yoau2rfjmfwjlu1p/wish/567798064 s080572 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/yoau2rfjmfwjlu1p/wish/568011900 I feel terrible for Tommy because he is 8 and when he should be playing outside with friends or siblings he is on a iron lung and has polio. He definitely has it worse compared to Peg. I also feel bad for him because he keeps jinxing himself. I see the foreshadowing that he will die because he keeps saying that tons of people come out alive from the iron lung.
It was sad when she didn't want her bear burned. Everything that was near her was burned or thrown into the trash.

I think that they are having her parents there because they think she will not make it that what I think. Also she has to deal with the pain. I also wonder why she wants to sleep all the time. Another thing is that when she is in the Oxygen tent she is remembering her childhood and how she could have move around I find that sad. Also it is cool that Art brought her a teddy bear.]]> 2020-05-12 16:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/yoau2rfjmfwjlu1p/wish/568110646 s080627 https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/yoau2rfjmfwjlu1p/wish/568133863 I can not believe that poor Tommy was in a Iron Lung. It is so so sad. Those hot packs sound like the worst thing ever. I feel so so bad for her. But the next part of it sounds even worse, I mean I read the first part of it, and I mean the first sentence, whatever they were doing sounded awful! I feel so bad for all the kids with Polio.]]> 2020-05-12 16:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyholland1/yoau2rfjmfwjlu1p/wish/568133863
