pride: This is positive and shows that he is proud of what he's doing.

The style is informational, and I'd say it's more of an informal style. There's not much humor, and his language informs the reader of his struggles

His goal with the book is to tell his story about being in the military. something that might get in his way are memories from when he was deployed.

Yes, because this is a book based on what the author experienced in a war he was fighting in.

He is talking about the stress of going through crowded streets and not knowing if there are any threats in the crowd

because it seemed the most interesting

I felt this kind of unity last year during regional duels for wrestling. I remember the whole gym erupting when braxton won his match.

I think the author included this song because it's about how we aren't supposed to see our future. however, the book revolves around people being concerned with the strings, which, in a way, shows people's future. so the song says everyone is obsessed with something that people weren't supposed to know.

if I had a fight like the one Nina and Amie had I would probably be on the side Nina is. I wouldn't care if someone had a short string and I feel like Amie is kind of wrong for what she says about Nina marrying Maura.

if I knew that I had a short string, my top priority would be family. I would want to spend as much time with them as possible.

I don't think they should be treated any differently than how they were before the strings came along. they don't get to choose whether they have a long or short string, so why should they be treated any differently.

yeah I would because I'd want to know how long they had left. me telling them would depend on the length of the string. if they had a long string I'd tell them I opened it, but if they had a short string I wouldn't.

I don't like him because he uses the length of strings to try and get people on his side. in the story it said, "she heard Wes's father is close to the end of his string".

once Hank opened his box he decided he was going to hide his string length from everyone. this is different from others and it shows us that he likes to deal with stuff on his own.

yes I do. an example I saw was the Minneapolis miracle. the Minneapolis miracle was a last second pass the Minnesota Vikings had that ended with a game winning touchdown.

Hank will probably be a little traumatized especially because he recognized who the shooter was. people would be more scared of others. this relates to the current events in the U.S. because of all the shootings that have been happening lately.

I wouldn't test it because I've already been living life like
it's going to be long. So, seeing that I had a long string wouldn't change anything about the way I'm currently living.

Maura opened her box and revealed that she has a short string. she didn't handle the news well so Nina tried to get her to go to a support group. Maura didn't want to go but reluctantly ended up going. Amie, however, wanted to avoid all the drama around the strings, so she never actually opened her box.

Nina doesn't want to open the box because she's scared of what she might fine. Ben however, opened his box and wants to not believe in the rumors, but can't help thinking about what his short string could mean.

If I got a box like that I would open it because I would be curious. I would want to know what's in it and if it's anything good.

it's alright
