Week 2 Day 5 (Friday)
1) What did you read about today? Be specific.
1) Richard heard that his father had died. He told his mother and she didn't care but she told her other sons and she pretended to care. The grandma sent money to the mom so she could buy things and look clean for the funeral. His mom took him to the oven to burn Richard but then she suddenly stopped for no apparent reason. They went to the funeral but to the mom it was worthless and meaningless. The worst part was that the mom encounter David there. She was so shocked and replied with, "he shouldn't be there he wasn't a family.." She was so angry and pissed she grabbed Richard and left. Richard started thinking of the memories he had with the dad before his sudden death. The mom was planning on going on a trip to Salt Lake but Richard didn't want to go. As his mom talked more about it to her other sons he started having an interest until she broke the news and said he wasn't allowed. He thought why was he even trying he would never be part of a normal life. However he thought of an advantage to stay home alone for two weeks. He told everyone and they were all concerned for him.
2) How do you feel about what you read today?
2) I felt sad since Richard's dad died and now he was really left all alone. Dave was gone, Ross was gone, and now his dad was gone.
3) Think about your favorite character. What happened to him/her today?
3) He received tragic news and found a way that could lead to freedom.
4) How would you feel if the same thing that happened to him/her, happened to you?
4) I would be sad and would cry if my father had died. If I found a freedom path I would be really excited and keep heading in that direction and not lose the moment and time.
5) What questions do you have about what you read today?
5) I want to know what will happen since he is all alone and why his mother suddenly stopped when burning his hand.
6) What do you predict will happen next in this story?
6) I think he will be rescued by a friend and have a lot of fun being home alone.
