Week 1 Day 2 (Tuesday)
1) What did you read about today? Be specific.
1) Her mom found out about Richard getting out of his bed and Richard just blamed that "IT" woke him up and "IT" was always considered superior so she didn't care about Richard and she went straight to "IT". Richard was thinking of how people bullied him at school and even though it really hurt it might be fun for the people to pick on him so he decided to pick on "IT", just like the people at school picked on Richard. When their mom took the brothers out she would leave Richard by "IT" and Richard would take "IT"'s folded laundry and throw it around making fun of him wanting his mom to come home and seeing the mess Richard that he would have blamed on "IT". However, suddenly, things changed when Richard looked into "IT"'s eyes and saw his pain. He then talked to his brother about a special memory that wasn't stated clearly in the book, Richard had only said it was a special memory with a deep connection between the two of them. After that day and so on he never would blame anything on "IT". Richard was growing and he was getting more worried about his brother after the incident were the mom stabbed "IT"'s chest and asked to see the dept of the cut. The mom started leaving Richard alone with his Uncle for day and days. She would take him there in the morning pick him up at night and then take him there again. However when Richard asked she wouldn't say anything until the last day when he came back hom she told him that the police had taken away "IT".
2) How do you feel about what you read today?
2) As I read further in the book today and the story just gets more terrifying, but it is so good that it is leaving me hanging having an argue to read more to find out what is going to happen and why she is so abusive. I really liked how Richard started caring about his brother and wanting to make a change in his life. I like how "IT" is now saved by the police but I am quite frightened to what is going to happen to Richard now.
3) Think about your favorite character. What happened to him/her today?
3) My favorite character Richard went through a lot of complications, worries, and pain. He was growing older and he started connecting more with his brother, "IT". He was wanting to help change "IT"'s life by getting help for him. He also felt really left out because his mom would not give attention to him and he was a kid that really wanted attention.
4) How would you feel if the same thing that happened to him/her, happened to you?
4) If my mom had never given me attention and left me out of everything my heart would hurt and I would be confused on why she is doing this to me. I would feel unwanted especially if it is from my mother because it is my mother who I look up to for a lot of things in my life, so I wouldn't appreciate if that would be the case. Plus if my sibling was abused in such a way as "IT" was abused I would want or at least try to get help from someone or somewhere. I couldn't suffer the pain of my sister and brother being treated that way. I would be frightened and scared but I will try my best to express my voice.
5) What questions do you have about what you read today?
5) From today's reading I wanted to know what will happen to "IT" now that he is safe by the police. How will they help him recover? I would also like to know if Richard will become the replacement or not.
