Important Passage Searcher : Grace
On page 8 I had a little confusion about women doing the laundry. They washed dried than ripped the clothes apart and sew it up again! I think they'll get tired.

It was interesting how the girls ruined the writing of the boys! won't they even be scared? I bit they were brave enough.

I first thought that at least someone will piggy-back but the meeting flowed away well and know ever did the piggy-backing! I was scared I was going Piggy-Back but It was great.

In page 43 I was a little confused on these sentences... ( The prisoners looked like no men she had ever seen. They had red faces, with eyes that seemed to have no color at all and noses that protruded like the beaks of birds. several had what seemed to be yellow or brown sheeps wool on there cheeks and chins; a few had hair- it must have been hair, for it covered the top of thier heads- but how could it be hair? For it was the color of straw.) The people they were talking about seemed to be Americans because of the discription, but they didn't do anything wrong, then why are they prisoners? Is it because Americans are not suposed to go to Korea in those days?

I discussed about this in our group meeting and Grace said she thinks that the Koreans thought they were monsters because they were different from them and everyone agreed.

Today the group meeting went well.

On page 60 this section stuck out to me: //"Abu-ji?"// Hoping from the outset to communicate her respect, Jade used the most formal word for "Father", not the more affectionate //Ah-pa.// This stuck out because I know very little korean and Ah-pa is one of the few I know. Also I never knew that there is a second way to say father which is Abu-ji, Grace added on and gave me an example of how she uses the words Abu ji and Ah pa in different way. Example: When Graces dad is frustrated or up set she say Abu ji to show respect. And she uses Ah pa every other time. And it also told me some thing about the character. I leaned that she respects her father more than loves him. Then everyone back me up at saying that before in the book it says she does not see him very often so there is no bonding time between the two.

**Important Passage Searcher: Chinu** ** On page 43 this section stuck out to me: ** ** "What is it? Where are they going?" she panted trotting alongside. "They're taking them to the palace!" Chang shouted breathlessly. "They're going to chop their heads off!" It took a moment for Jade to comprehend what the child had said. She almost tripped as she ran and made a desperate grab for Chang. "Why? What have they done?" she asked, holding the child's arm. "Don't you know? They're not allowed to be here they've broken the law" This passage stuck out to me because it is difficult in addition for them. Because thier haeds are going to be chopped off for nothing is really unfair and I say they should join the army and fight and also live in the town with no punishments. **

Important Passage Searcher : Han Kyu
On page 41, it was interesting to see the speech made by the salesmen as they tried to sell their products. Our group agreed that the oddness of their speech was very interesting too.

Important Passage Searcher : Adit
1. I was very surprised to find Shakespeare acted in some of the plays! Kaitlyn, Danielle, and Shania agreed. Han Kyu found it normal that he acted as well as wrote.

2. I thought that a very interesting passage on page 64... //I felt as though it were something more than a mere building at stake. It was an entire world//... this was interesting because the building is the //globe// theatre and in the passage it says //an entire world.// We all thought this one was interesting.

**Important Passage Searcher: Shania** ** The part when Julian got injured when he fought with Nick was very scary. I was confused why Julian was so hurt and didn't want his master to help him. Then I read on and found out that Julian was really a girl. The members of my group was very surprised too. But I was very confused when Sander told Nick she was a girl and Sander wasn't surprised at all. We all thought maybe Sander kept a secret from his friends. ** The other part was when Julia was going to move to a French school. All of us didn't know that Julia could speak French and how could she attend to that school? Adit and Han Kyu said that it was obvious that they could but Kaitlyn and Danielle didn't think so. Kaitlyn and Danielle had the same thought as me. If Julia knew how to speak French, the author should have mention it in the book. We had different opinions on this one.

Our group has done well to the end of our book.

Book:Stone Fox
On page 5 I got real interested in that page because the author described the doctor really well because when I read that I could tell that the doctor has been doing the job for years. On page 10 I was kind of confused about Little Willy's grandpa's sickness because I don't get how his sickness starts from the mind and then gets through the whole body.
