I thought it was really crazy how Barbra was able to bust the DHS and get them arrested. When I first read it, I thought forsure Marcus would be able to go a free man, but it made sense that he had to go to court for what he did.

I thought that it was really gutsy for Marcus to decide to ditch out on Masha and take her phone. I actualy kinda admire him for it becuase he was doing what he believed was the right thing to do. I think that it might come back to bite him and that he could get into trouble.

I think that Marcus will come close to bringing down the DHS, but he will ultimately fall short and be discovered by the DHS.

I think that Jolu and Marcus's plan is smart and has the potential to work.

I feel like Titus might be starting to see society for what it is. I feel like that he will start to resist.

I think that Titus and Violet are both upset because all their friends started acting like nothing happened after they got back to earth. I think that they will try to resist/ get rid of the feed. I do not understand the whole thing about the fake birds as a new fashion.

I think this book is a little confusing, but very entertaining. The dialogue with the boys reminds me of 80s "bro talk".

I thought it was very interesting that NASA could figure out what Mark was doing. I think they will find a way to communicate with him.

Why is NASA surprised about Mark going to Pathfinder? Why doesn't NASA just tell the crew Mark is alive?

I feel like Mark is becoming more hopeful. He is having success with his goals, so he keeps trying new and harder tasks.

"I stayed in the mav tonight"
mav- Mars Ascent Veichle

I was surprised that Mark survived in the first place. I also felt like he has a great attitude in trying to survive for four years.

Why did Romeo seem so chill about killing himself? Why did the Friar just leave Juliet to comment suicide?

I think Juliet is being very unwise with her decision on the potion. I think that it would have been a while lot easier for her just to leave her house when her parents threatened to kick her out.

"Thou hast quarreled with a man for coughing in the street because he hath wakened thy dog that hath lain asleep in the sun." Act 3 Scene 1
quarreled- have an angry argument or disagreement.

I was very surprised that Juliet was kind of mean to the nurse. I thought she would have been nice throughout the play.

Will Juliet be forced to marry Paris? Will Tybalt try to pick a fight with Romeo because he attended the party?

Jeremiah talks about his son a lot, I feel like his son seems like a good kid who is being raised right. I also relate to his son because he got disheartened when he did bad on a spelling test, and the same thing has happened to me.

"We stood before him condemned."
condemned-v-to pronounce to be guilty; sentence to punishment

When Jeremiah says that anything missing the mark is sin, I thought he used a very good example. He said that God is like the the bulls-eye on a target, anything less than that is missing the mark. I liked how he brought it back to God wants us in the bulls eye with him.

"God did not leave us there, he had a plan for redemption."
redemption-n-deliverance;rescue

I really like Jeremiah. As an author, he uses very good illustrations and stories to make his point

Why does Alek trust Lilit so much? Will Deryn end up becoming friends with Lilit?

I was really surprised that Deryn's mission failed. It also was interesting that the person following Alek was a girl.

Will Dr. Barlow actually give up the Leviathan?

Why does Alek still help the Leviathan even though he is treated like a prisioner?

Will Volger decide to go with Alek on the Leviathan?

Will Deryn's secret be discovered?
