For example, wanting to live in the Harry Potter world. awalt0507 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/393703194 Alexis and Anwyn]]> 2019-10-04 17:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/393703194 Alexis and Anwyn awalt0507 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/393704180  Decisions are never easy to make, but some things that help make making a decision easy are taking time to  think about what is best for you and the people involved, as well as thinking about the right thing and what God wants you to do. Also, thinking about the pros, cons, and consequences of your decision can help you to decide. For example, what would the consequences be of running away? You could get hurt or sick and not have anyone to rely on. You could go broke and starve, and not have anywhere to work or stay. You may not know anyone near where you are and your parents would get especially worried if you did not leave a note.]]> 2019-10-04 17:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/393704180 mhowe0370 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/393706627  An author hooks you into a story by making us curious about what’s going to happen in the story.]]> 2019-10-04 17:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/393706627 mhowe0370 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/393707059 A decision is made when your brain decides what is the better option for the present or an upcoming scenario.

What the author does to hook you into a story.

The author could hook a reader in many ways. But authors usually tend to leave Cliffhangers. For example in the beginning of our book the author gave us hints that the dad might be abusive towards his family.]]> 2019-10-11 19:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/396850473 Question 1 2081621 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/396850648 Some this that the author does to hook you into the story is by putting cliffhangers in the end of a chapter so the reader will be interested on reading the next chapter. Have a problem or some drama in the story so the person will want to read on more of the story. Have a good story line because if it is not a good story line the reader will not want to read the story then they will get bored on what they are reading.]]> 2019-10-11 19:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/396850648 Ethan Yupe question one 209838 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/396850775 the way the author hooked  me to this book is when ruku threw the doll at the man to tried to take them  and then they started running.

In the bridge home, it opened up with how the dad was abusive and that made the reader sensitive and wanted to see what would happen to Ruku.]]> 2019-10-11 19:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/396850848 Question 1 2060063 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/396851214 The way the author hooked us to the story is she or he put scenes where they got fisical like the dad or the bus driver.  The decision that the girls made made it easy because they didn't want to get abused by their own family.]]> 2019-10-11 19:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/396851214 Making a decision question. 208139 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/396851379 Making a decision is easy when both options are good for you or, when the decision that you will make won't make that much of a difference. It is is way easier to make a decision when its something that wont effect you.

This would make you keep reading the book, since it is a topic you rarely see. For example, in the Bridge Home, it discussed a sensitive topic and it suggested two POC (people of color) running away from their abusive father. This is a topic you barely see in books, and once you find a book like that, you would want to keep going.]]> 2019-10-11 19:14:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/396852874 208295 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/396852972 Something this author does to hook the readers in is leave cliffhangers at the end of each chapter.

Something the characters had to decide was when the abusive dad came home and came home and acted all nice until he threw the bracelet at roku and they started getting all mad and fighting and I think it was a easy choice because she got mad he was being mean to a girl with a disability ]]> 2019-10-11 19:15:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/396853408 Pauline Kozak 2001412 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/396853410 What an author does to hook you into a story is that they use really descriptive words. This is so the author can paint a picture in your head of what's going on, it makes reading more interesting. What an author also can do is to work up to a conflict also by using lots of description. One of the things that happened in this book so far that made it interesting was when all the little rising actions in the story like when rukku threw her doll at the bad man or when her father was came home really drunk and broke her mothers arm. ]]> 2019-10-11 19:15:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/396853410 209797 https://padlet.com/sara_reid/8Grade/wish/396853574 Making a decision easy is having one option have benefits and having the other option unbeneficial.
