not very happy. "He kept thinking of that
furious look on Sid's face when Chet came out of the water" (48). He
understands that he needs friends to be happy, or else he will be
lonely, and his old friends will never come back to him.

is too scared to go back to them. He thinks they will just push him away
if he tries to come to them. But when Chet realizes that there is
actually a shark in the creek, his friends won't listen to him. He
thinks his friends will be at the creek and he rushes there. Chet tells

shark in the water. Sid was in danger of dying from the shark eating him.

thinks that he will be alone in the hospital doing nothing for a long
time. When a knock on the door comes, he thinks that it is his uncle,
who is taking care of him, but it turns out it is his three friends who
just came on a 2 hour train ride to the hospital.Chet is surprised they
are there because he thinks that they might still not like him. He
didn't think that they would come on a train ride just to see him and
apologize. They came to
apologize: "We're sorry about everything" said Monty" (84). This is
another good thing that friends will do for you. They will come to
comfort you.

My corporate and I went on a expedition. We were sent by the capitol. We saw a huge centipede and a random pedestal. We were walking along, sure not going to get a pedicure, but we found a peddler in the forest trying to sell us a pedal. We came across a temple, but all of a sudden we were captive in traps. I saw the warriors lined up in corps. Their captain seeme to want us for dinner. His corporal spoke to him. I think they want to decapitate me and eat my corpse. Incorporate me at dinner. We were in captivity. We escaped one day, I'm not going to tell you how, but we started to peddle becuase they took all our money. No one is going to captivate me ever again.

I was writing a draft for a letter to a Zambian person today. We don't really know who they are going to be, but we wrote drafts, so I think they are the ones that we are going to be sending, but I am not sure. I don't think that they will get back to us this year, because these letters have to go halfway across the world and back, and they would need about two days to write their letters or more because they have to use paper. I still think that it is cool that we are now sending letters to Zambia even if they will not get back to us in time. It makes me think about how lucky I am to even be typing this right now on a computer and know how to type really fast and go to a good school where there are nice people and I get to learn many things. My school was where I learned to type pretty fast. I think that I am very fortunate and I have many luxuries.

My science experiment went really good. I woke up this morning and there were crystals all over the pipe cleaner that I used. I think it is really cool that some plain old Borax can turn into nice pretty crystals. I just can't get over that fact. Every time I look at them I think that I did that with just some simple materials. Now for this science project, I have to make a video with all of the steps of what to do to make the crystals appear. I think that it will be pretty easy to do because I am getting a little head start form everyone else by doing it at home. I think that I won't have any science homework this week because of the project. I might have some on the weekend.

I did a science experiment tonight. It was about growing crystals using borax and water. I think that it is pretty cool that we get to choose whatever project I want to do. I think that using borax to grow crystals is awesome. I have to wait to see if it worked. It said that I needed to wait overnight for the crystals to grow overnight. I think that this will work. the other thing I still have to do is study for my science test. It shouldn't be too hard, because I know most of the concepts and the last science test I took I got 100% so I think that I am going to get that or maybe only a few points worse. I think as long as I study tonight I will do good.

Journal Response Prompt: Tell me about a character you really dislike in this book. What kind of person is this character, and why is he/she your least favorite? Give specific examples from the book to help me understand your choice.
My least favorite character in the book is Madam Lockton. She is a loyalist and she is a spoiled brat that will not do barely anything for herself. Also, she gets very mad at her servants when they just do tiny mistakes. Here is an example from the book from page 51: " One day she beat her with a fireplace poker". One of Madam's other servant's is telling the main character what Madam did to another slave. This proves that Madam gets very mad at her servants even if they do something only a little wrong. Here is another example from page 68: " Girl, the bedding needs to be aired". Here is an example where she is making the main character work and she does not like it. She will not do any of these things for herself because she has a slave. Overall, Madam Lockton is my least favorite character because she does basically nothing for herself.
