LAST MEETING!!!!! :O

I am the...
WAIT FOR IT...

ILLUSTRATOR!
I actually did it on my home computer. And it's at home. So... I will be uploading the picture from there. For now, here's my summary:

I drew the part where April is being strangled by the strange red-haired man. Marshall is hiding under the platform with Security in his hands and the Proffessor is looking through the window. I imagined it with a bit more motion but I hate drawing and I'm horrible at it, anyway, so here's the best you get :)

OK SO... I'M ON THE COMPUTER... I'M GOING TO GO UPLOAD IT NOW ^-^

Vocabulary Enricher - Yoonji - 5th Time - THE LAST! :D D:

Hello all, I was the vocabulary enricher this time, so I found five words which I was unsure or didn't know about, and sorry if that's not a lot, because I know most English words (unless they're scientific, like something-phobia, etc.).

Other people didn't have any other opinions about the definitions or the words, so I didn't write any opinions or statements.

1. Hark

This word was in the chapter "Christmas Keys" (the last chapter of the whole book, if you count the small glimpse of another book by Zilpha Keatley Snyder) in page 211, the second paragraph, while the Professor (the owner of the old antique shop) was explaining and telling the "Egypt" kids (the main protagonists: Toby, Ken, April, Melanie, and Marshall) a story.

Definition: It is an order which mostly adults use on children, meaning "listen" or "stop and listen to me".


2. Behalf

Behalf was in the chapter "Christmas Keys" (all of my unknown words are in this chapter), page 209, paragraph 4. This was also when the Professor was speaking to the children, and Marshall and Toby were thinking.

My opinion: I actually thought 'behalf' actually meant something about being half, or just 'half' in general, and now I know it isn't.

Definition: Behalf means in the interests of someone, a person, a group, or a discussion. It can also mean that 'as a representative of...(something)'.


3. Conceived

This word was also in "Christmas Keys", page 209, paragraph 3. This was also in the same part as the word 'behalf' (look above), when the Professor explains.

Definition: (Okay, I am just going to put one definition of conceived, because I think the other one is not the definition used in the sentence.) Conceived means to form or devise a plan or an idea in the mind/head.

My opinion: I had no opinion or thought about this word, except for one, which was that I knew the other definition of this word (which I don't prefer to share), which I learned while reading the summary of the book 'Carry', by Stephen King.

You can find out the other definition if you want to. https://www.google.rs/?gws_rd=cr&ei=9ciMU4baOYyNyATUwoHIBg#q=conceive


4. Sheepish

Sheepish was in page 209, in the first paragraph.

Definition: Sheepish means (someone or something) showing or feeling embarrassment from shame.

My opinion: I think sheepish means that because sheep are mostly shy, and I also think 'sheep' is the origin of 'sheepish'.


5. Gradually

This word was in the second paragraph of page 208, on the part when someone (maybe it was the Professor, and I can't remember because I left the book in Ms. S's room. :( ) started to talk slowly.

Definition: Gradually means (something or someone acting) slowly, in a gradual way, or (bit by bit) by degrees.

My opinion: I actually kind of knew this word (in a way), but not quite surely. I wasn't so clear about this word, so I found out about it, and now I know.

literary luminator

hello guys I have been the literary luminator and my sentence was

"Egypt was gone forever no use thinking about it."
on page that I don't know paragraph i don't know

I thought that this sentence was funny because egipt still is with us and not gone.

Do you remember the last part where a mentaly ill red headed frecled man tried to murder april but the profesor started to scream help. Do you think the red headed man was really mentaly ill or did april do any thing to him did he just want to kill  or hurt here?
thank you

Last Meeting :D Per as Discussion Director

Hey guys. Last meeting!  Now i get to be something fun! I actually get to control the literature circle!  I do have some questions that require a bit of thinking. Some do, some don't.
I know i only have to write what the people in my lit circles group has to say (6B) but i would like the other group that is doing lit circles on the Egypt game (6A) to write in the comments what their answer is.  Hehe, lets get started.

Question Nr. 1
Were you surprised about how the professor changed, Why?
Per's answer:  I was actually surprised in how he changed. In the beginning he was all mysterious and kind of creepy but in the last chapter he became nicer and in a way, more honest.  I think it was because of all the people that were coming to his shop that made him that way.  In conclusion, he had just become more socialized.

Yoon-Ji's answer: Yoon-Ji said "Yes, because he spent most of his life in his old shop, and it is cool how he admitted that he got over Anne."

Omayma's answer: Omayma said "I was actually surprised because i thought he was the person who tried to kill April, instead he tried to help."

Vojta's answer: Vojta said "No, because i knew he would change.  I predicted it"

Question Nr. 2
How was the last chapter(Christmas Keys) related to Christmas? Summarize what the part that you think was the most important in this chapter
Per's answer: It was related because it was during Christmas Eve and the author had put some spirit of Christmas in that chapter.  Also, the keys that the Egypt members received was like a Christmas present from the Professor.  I want to summarize the part where the Professor gives out the six keys to all of the different Egyptians.  It was a special moment because he said that there was a lock on the gate to egypt and there were six locks that could be opened with the keys.

Yoon-Ji's answer: Yoon-Ji said "It was related to Christmas because the professor gave the Christmas keys to the kids as a present.   The most important part was when the professor told the kids about everything that had happened and when he gave the keys"

Omayma's answer: Didn't read the last chapter.

Vojta's answer:  Didn't read the last chapter.

Question Nr. 3
If Mr. Schmitt's cousin wasn't crazy, what could be a reason that he confessed.
Per's answer: I think that a reason he would confess was because he was scared of the police.  I defiantly know that if i was in his shoes, in a police officers office, i would confess and be very scared.  If he wasn't crazy he would have to go to jail though.

Yoon-Ji's answer: Yoon-Ji said "Maybe he had the grudge against children"

Omayma's answer: Omayma said "Maybe because he was depressed or he did it for fun, maybe he didn't like children"

Vojta's answer: Vojta said "Maybe he wanted the angry feeling out of him"

Question Nr. 4
The last line "what do you know about Gypsies" was a sentence that can make you predict.  Can you predict what will happen in the next book.  Try to use your knowledge from this book.
Per's answer:  I think the next book will be like the one we just read.  I think that they will rebuild Egypt as a place where Gypsies live.  I have a feeling that there is going to be some type of mystery, like a murderer in the next book too.

Yoon-Ji's answer: Yoon-Ji said "Since the kids like to get obsessed with egypt they got obsessed with gypsies."

Omayma's answer: Omayma Said "Since they made the Egypt game, they may also make a place where gypsies lived. They would maybe be framed for murder."

Vojta's answer:  Vojta said "Maybe they will turn into gypsies"

Question Nr. 5
What was going through your mind when April didn't want to go to Christmas break with her mom and Nick.  Why do you think this.
Per's answer:  I think that April was doing something that she didn't think she would have done before.  One reason is that Dorothea hadn't been mailing her at all.  Another reason is that April had grown a strong relationship to the other Egyptians.  They had become best friends and they treated April a lot better that her mom did.

Yoon-Ji's answer: Yoon-Ji said "I think that she realized that her mom was evil and didn't want to be with her.  And she grew close to caroline"

Omayma's answer: Omayma said "She wanted to stay with Melanie and the other Egyptians."

Vojta's answer: Didn't read this part of the book

Thank you for reading.  Other Egypt game readers.  Please comment and tell me the answers to the questions that I asked! :(  this last meeting means it is closer to the end of the school year and many people are leaving.... Sadness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye
