A part of the book that was disappointing was when Karl said he didn't want to do boxing anymore. His mom told him to keep going even if he might quit. "Try to keep up you're training" (359) He proceeded to say he would even though he was doubting himself. Karl has been working so hard for a pretty long time. Seeing him quit randomly would be pretty sad. He made it so far so that's why it was sad

One shocking part was when Karl defended himself and Greta against Her Koplec. "So I lunched forward and gave him a quick shove, which sent him tumbling to the ground" (216). This is shocking because he is a shy kid and doesn't usually defend himself. The times in the past when he was bullied, he just let it happen. However, now he is fighting back.

One disappointing part was when the Wolf Pack urinated in the toilet, once it was nearly full they put Karl's' head into it. They dunked his head under and flushed the toilet. There was some new kids wanting to join the wolf pack so this was their "initiation" . This was there way of baptizing a Jew. "They maneuvered me to the stall." "Time for your baptism." The things the Wolf Pack do, because someone is Jewish.

One shocking part was when Karl said he wasn't a Jew while being bullied. Gertz and the wolf pack physically and verbally abused him about being Jewish and circumcised. He pulled down his pants to see that he was circumcised. Instead of admitting he's Jewish, he said "Im not Jewish I've never been to a synagogue"(8-9). This is shocking because even if you don't go to synagogue you still are considered Jewish.

One surprising part was when Beetee mentions "A force field they've set one up between the game makers and us I wonder what brought that on."229 the force field that the game makers had put up because of Katniss shooting her arrow at the pig in the First book. This is surprising because Beetee noticed the force field without anyone saying something to him about Katniss shooting the pig.

One part that was disappointing was when Andy's Dad asked him how is grades were and she replied with improving but they weren't."your report card came in today. How can you say your grades are improving?"-147. This is sad because Andy wants to go to college then his dad brings up going to college and he says he doesn't want to. This proves Andy isnt doing good in school and if it keeps up he wont have any chance

One important part was when Andy sent the whole letter to Mr and Mrs Washington. I find this important because it shows he still cares about them, likes them and wants there trust. "I will always treasure those days, and I will never forgive myself for destroying something very special." Page 105 This proves inside he is extremely regretful for killing him. This shows he wont be able to overcome accidently killing h

One shocking part was that they ruined their life in a blink of an eye. Andy Rob Tyrone and BJ had won a basketball game by 40 points. Andy was driving even though he was drunk.All all of a sudden they hit a wall. "Sit Down, Girl. There has been an accident". "Its Robbie Washington.. Hes dead" This shows you could have been having the best night ,however, everything can change within minutes. Therefore be more caref-

One character trait to describe Brenda is courageous. Brenda is brave because without thinking she dragged Thomas away from the falling stairs, when he sat there paralyzed with fear. On page 171 the text says, "RUN! She screamed, and started dragging him away from the deconstruction." This proves Brenda is brave because other parts of the stair could have fell on her but she still helped him.

One character trait to describe Thomas is impulsive. He is impatient because he does whatever comes to his mind for example, On page 17 "He steadied himself and started walking to the bathroom but Newt reached out and grabbed his arm". "You're used to living with a bunch of boys" Newt said. This shows hes Impatient because if that was Theresa in the bathroom it would have been very disrespectful to open the door.

One interesting part was when Thomas Teresa and chuck pushed the button to stop all the grievers. When they were in the hole Teresa put the code into the computer ,however, it didn’t work. Thomas noticed a button therefore he pushed it and all the grievers stopped. This is infesting because even though the code didn’t work they still found a way to shut them off. Also they risked there lives jumping in the hole.

One character trait to describe Thomas is a fast learner. On page 211 Minho was teaching Thomas how to cut the vines while running. “But by his tenth attempt he could almost match Minho at the task”.When he first taught him he couldn’t do it and within ten tries he was almost as good a minho. The shows the Thomas can learn things very fast no matter the event that is taking place

Thomas is courageous. Even though he was in a cold cage without any recollection of his memory he still went on. "My name is Thomas, he thought" that was the only thing he could remember. When the lift finally got to the top, he heard voices of other kids. After waiting a bit he finally got up and went with them. This is why he is brave even after being in a unfamiliarly place he still went on. He also trusted Chuck.

Mrs Bates is caring throughout the book because even though Roger had tried stealing her purse. She decided to bring him to her house help him clean up and feed him. "The well eat" "I believe you're hungry or have been hungry to try to snatch my pocketbook. This shows Mrs Bates cares about Roger because she could have just called his parents but besides she helps him and she gives him 10$ for some shoes he wanted.

The main Narrator is grateful. He asked for a black leather jacket ;however ,he got a day old guacamole looking jacket. After he put it on his bed and examined it for a while he finally put it on and he "went outside smiling a thank you" to his mom. This shows hes care about his mothers feelings. If he really wanted to he could have asked his mom to work something out to get a new one.

I love reading
