Usually when people read books they don’t always look back and see what the author was trying to show. You will see my idea of what I think the author of the book is trying display. I think the message the author is trying to portray is that just because you get knocked down, feel down, or that your down doesn't mean that you have to stay that way forever. In the beginning of sixth grade Ally hides that she can't read and fools her mom and some teachers that she can read. For example, on page 14 when her principal asks her to read a poster and she hides that she doesn't know how to read by saying, " I don't need to read it to you. I get it... Believe me I know all about it already.” (Hunt 14) Ally hides it until she goes to Noah webster's

1. Pheoby's moral code is differs from the towns, because Pheoby is best friends with Janie, Pheoby doesn't see Janie as Mrs. Joe Starks like the rest of the town. As Janie is walking through town, the ladies on Pheoby's porch make snide comments about Janie's, “blue overhalls” (2), and questions, “ Where she [leave] dat young lad of a boy she went off her with” (2). While Pheoby decides to ignore their comments, and check on Janie. I believe Pheoby's code is 'truly moral' because, she doesn't judge Janie and her choices like the rest of the town.
This passage describes the emotions of Ronald Franz who was a man to took Alex McCandless under his wing when he first gave him a ride. There was a quality in Alex that attracted him and had led a special bond between the two friends up until Alex had died. When Franz picked up an Indian youth from the side of the road, he discovered something that he had not known. The Indian youth told Franz that Alex was dead and had froze to death on the tundra which is something he had read in a magazine. This is ironic that the person who had such a close relationship with Alex was the last one to find out about his death and let alone it be from a hitchhiker on the side of a road. Franz was hesitant about letting Alex go off on his own into the Alaskan mountains, but since

1) “They carried the soldier’s greatest fear, which was the fear of blushing. Men killed, and died, because they were embarrassed not to. It was what had brought them to the war in the first place, nothing positive, no dreams of glory or honor, just to avoid the blush of dishonor. They died so as not to die of embarrassment” (O’Brien 20).
Theo’s life is effected greatly by the other characters in the book. In the beginning, his mother has the greatest influence on him. Without her, he is a ship adrift in a sea of uncertainty with no way to navigate to more predictable waters. It is not until he meets Hobie that Theo begins to find himself again. Where everyone has some sort of advice or idea on how Theo should be handling his mother’s death, Hobie does not. He listens to Theo, providing Theo with a confidant who will just listen and not try to drug him to make him feel better or tell him that he should take art classes to express his feelings.
Day by day Toby and Elizabeth went through doing their assigned jobs, eating meals, and going to bed according to schedule every single day for the past year. At first, it wasn’t that hard for them to do because, everyone else was just doing their jobs and continuing the schedule so, all they had to do was keep quiet and obey what they were told. Unfortunately after a while, it became very difficult for them to act like robots never having emotions being expressed it was almost like they were stuck inside their minds day after day keeping everything to themselves as if they weren't humans at all.
3. If I was in Charlie's position at the beginning of the story I wouldn't have went through with the surgery, because if God didn't want me to be like that, I wouldn't be like that. So I would stay the same. And It could also fail, just like what's happening to Charlie in the story. It would be kind of hard to reject the operation because you are this person that can’t really do anything, all you can do is sweep up an old bakery for minimum wage. It would be pretty boring doing that every day of your life. It would be even harder if someone was retarded and then they did a surgery that made them even worse. That's probably not something I would think about if I was mentally retarded, but that's what I'm thinking about right now.
Thank you the M-1 Marvels for allowing me to be apart of the huddle this week!

After Khadija's death, the Prophet of God would share a slaughtered sheep with her friends and family as a charity.

The underworld seemed to be getting colder and I couldn’t tell if it was because I’d fled the room that was lit or because Hades’s heart had been nearly ripped out. I was weeping pretty hard by now, feeling awfully betrayed and as lonely as my injurer. I felt my way around in the darkness for a while, thankful to the slight bluish glow that seemed to at least partially lighten ones way down in the underworld.

Paragraph 1 tone : He seems nervous about this trip He says ,“We’ve all been up since midnight, starting our predive checks after a couple of restless hours of sleep, and the whole team is running on adrenaline.
