So far it seems pretty calm in the book aside for the occasional arguments. I already have some questions since a lot of stuff that they say in the book has no context just yet. I do not know if it is because it will be found later in the book or not

So far it has been chaotic with the two stories. The story with the Taliban has became a lot worse because Reshmina's brother is wanting to join and help the Taliban while she doesn't want him to because she helped an American soldier. Meanwhile on the side of 9/11 Brandon was not able to get to his father. The reason being because his father is on a floor way above the floor on fire. He also got to admire blue flame

It was very chaotic as Max left Liesel. Liesel's father also returned but not a lot of injuries though he had a broken leg. I was shocked to see Liesel get a book that Max made specifically for her and what was in it was a bit disturbing yet wholesome. I cant help but wonder why he wrote in the view he did. I felt like it was how he viewed the world but also it felt like it was something else.

My week of reading felt very chaotic as Liesel no longer sees Max and she just lost her step dad as he left. I feel bad for Liesel and I am starting to realize that she is in a constant state of feeling guilt and feeling the dead around her. I wonder why she is feeling like this since she is seeming paranoid as well and is being called half a woman now.

Max has been comatose and Liesel is reading to his unconscious form. Liseal is also stealing more books. More on Max's history was learned but I find it odd that there was a QNA on how Max was on Liseal's bed. There was also drawings that Max made and they seem to be important since how he drew them was unique

This week my book has taken some turns like how the mother acts can be rather aggressive. There seems to be a lot of deaths specifically kids and or parents. Max was also taken in by the step-parents so now he is being taken care of which he originally was in hiding since he is a Jew.

There was a lot that seemed to happen to everyone. There was a realization I had due to all that happened. Since they were chased by the spirits that were maybe stuck there. Though at the end we found out that one of the kids in the group of living was dead the whole time. But Dash did not remember the accident. Though it seems now this group is stuck at the shadow house so will they replace the free souls?

On page 91 I had an again and again moment with how Griffen was sorry. I see it as important because he said sorry after his dad got angry at him for bringing Cheyenne out of his room. Which I am wondering how Roy would truly react to Cheyenne escaping. I mainly wonder this because the fact that she tried to escape earlier by using the bathroom as a strategy.

I had an A-ha moment on page 26 when the man slapped Griffin. I realized he might be abusive with Griffin. I view it as important because the fact that he might do some stuff to Griffen later on in the book. I do wonder what because he did slap Griffin on this page. Though what I mainly wonder if Griffin's smoking habit is due to how the man is with him, which the man is his father.

I had an again and again moment with The fact they kept bringing up Linus and how there was a disguise in his room, on page 220 was the first time it came up. I think why they kept bringing it up is because it made him seem like the killer. I view it as important because the fact that Linus could have been the killer and causing all this chaos. But I don’t think it would be because the fact that Linus is young and th

I had an Aha moment when it said "Blood" on page 192. I realized that Stuart had not returned and oddly enough a piece of his shirt and hat was in the snow. I see it as important because the fact that Stuart was the one who was going out to get help. They brought up cougar prints but what if it is much more twisted than that? I thought about it because the fact that two girls from the group were now missing after th

On page 113 I had an Aha moment when it says that the spirits aren't evil but rather are victims. I view it as important because Jermaine was trying to use some christian phrases on those spirits. Like what if these spirits were right any something was going to happen? I just find it funny that despite knowing these spirits were victims to a killer and still trying to purify them.

On page 57 I have an A-ha moment when it says "No one has really stayed here for years." I view it as important because what if something had happened in the area or it was shut down temporarily and now isn't as popular. Which I am wondering if only they are allowed to stay there because they have some competition to attend too. Though I do wonder if there is more to it because they even brought up feeling like the p

On page two I had an a-ha moment because the fact they kept sayings Mrs. McElroy. At first I thought she was their mother. I view it as important because they are in a club and this could be their teacher/the runner of the club. Plus what really made me realize was when she brought up their families. I thought about it and realized they probably are not related.

On page 323 it is said that Matt is not bad, which has happened many times. Oddly enough it is always the Keepers who judge him for his behavior like calling him an aristocrat. I find it important because the fact Matt did nothing and the fact that the Keepers are being oddly abusing now that he is further into the system. They were nice when he first came but now that he has been there they seem more twisted and evi

On page 262 there is a compare and contrast moment. When it comes to where Matt was originally to now. As now he is in a place that isn't trying to kill him but rather in a place where people try to become good citizens before going on a hovercraft. I find it important because the fact that it was said before "people can't tell the difference between a human and a clone." on another page. Then exactly as of later he

On page 239 there is another occurrence of Matt being called a clone which has happened through the whole story. I find it important since we are now aware of who has was a clone of and as well as the reason why he was a clone. But I do wonder since El Patron had died due to Maria poisoning Matt's heart, is he really still gonna be called a clone if he isn't a clone to someone? Plus Matt almost got killed for being c

There is a memory moment on page 191. Matt had thought about what El Patron and MacGregor said at the party. I see it as important because the fact that it was about transplants and is what made Matt realize what clones were used for. But what if Matt escaped or like El Patron never did that to him. It could happen but still what if he escaped before El Patron tried?

“Brother” on page 168, I have an again and again moment with this word as Matt has said it many times now. It's not just a once thing but he also did it with other animals. I see this as important because the fact he calls almost anything brother on page 168 he had specifically said “Brother Wasp”. I wonder if this has a meaning behind it since Matt is El Patron’s clone. So what if when El Patron was younger he too c

I have an again and again moment when I saw how Celia always calls Matt “Mi vida.” this was found on page 150. I see it as important because the fact Celia isn't technically related to him yet still cares for him deeply. Since Matt is a clone of El Patron yet I have only seen El patron care because Matt is actually a clone of El Patron. Which is why I am questioning if he actually cares for Matt or just wants Matt to

On page 113 I had an aha moment when I realized that Matt isn't allowed around things. What if it is because the one he is a clone of since he has high power he doesn't want to lose his clone. But truly I do wonder what If he is overly guarded when he is out in public spaces. Like is there truly a reason for him having to have mattresses under him while rope climbing.

On page 98 I have a memory moment that happens with Matt where he was reading a book. I think this is important because it could be about the history of characters that are still alive. But what really caught my attention is the fact he was 6, which maybe he is a clone especially since he keeps being compared to El Pantron which has happened many times now.

On page 81 I have an again and again moment with how cheerful the teacher is. I see it as important because Matt finally talked and snapped at her because how cheerful and how many compliments she gave him. Which school was new to him so I guess it makes sense why he kind of flipped out on her. I wonder if this is the reason why Matt had to learn by TV.

On page 32 I have an again and again moment when it says “clone”. In the story it has been said to Matt many times already. I think it is important since they called him filthy as well as if he had done something illegal. But what if Matt isn't actually a clone and is a real person but is just seen as a clone by everyone else. Or he could be a clone and he has a perfect amount of feelings. I do wonder why he doesn’t

On page 7 there was an A-ha moment when it brought up a sticky note on the microwave. I realized that the person who did this likely is the parent of the child. And since children tend to not listen. I see it as important because the fact children could possibly put something in the microwave not knowing what the microwave does as there was also a belt on

On page 162 there is Again and Again moment when it says “We need all of us to work together”. I see this as important because the fact that they constantly bring it up and when they do they have a task that is either really important or something that is dangerous. As they worked together when they had to deal with the spiders as well.

A compare and contrast moment is on page 129 when Gus compares him stumbling to how his death would be like a comedy death. I view it as important because Gus knows that they are in a dangerous area and position at the moment. It stood out to me because it might be his personality which could be a playful and joking kind of personality.

A words of the wiser moment happens on page 109 when Gus says “Sacrificing your own life for a pig?”. Which can be important because the fact that Hallie instead of thinking about how the creature will kill her instead. I view it as important because of how that creature could have gotten the pig and Hallie just because she did not think ahead. While Gus knew that her actions were a little crazy.

On page 92 I have a compare and contrast moment. Which at first I thought Mrs. Latchitt was just an old lady that freaked the kids out, and was just being misunderstood. But on page 92 with Mr. Latchitt, she was throwing chickens into this area then a massive spider took the chickens. So after I seen that I realized she might not be good, and plus the kids call the two creepy due to them humming/singing together.

I have an again and again moment on page 75 when it says "he has no problem with us getting hurt" As I think that it may not actually be Mr.Liatchitt but rather something took control of him. I view it as important due to the fact that they are stuck in an area that's haunted so really it could be something that isn't Mr.Liatchitt in control.
