These four chapters were intense--even I couldn't keep the book down!
1. Luke's family received a letter in the mail from the government in chapter 5--what did the letter ask the family to do? Why was this a big deal?
2. Why did Luke's mother have to go back to work? Why do you think Luke is upset? How would you feel in Luke's shoes?
3. What are Barons? What is their significance to this story?
4. Luke's Dad came home early from work and what did he find? Why was he so upset? Do you think Luke's Dad had a reason to be upset?
5. Chapter 8 ends with a cliff hanger! What happened?
Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions :-)
1. The letter asked them to get rid of the pigs. This was such a big deal because they made money on the pigs.
ReplyDeleteGood!

ReplyDeletethat was mine
ReplyDelete2. Luke's mom went back to work because they couldn't make money without the pigs. I think that Luke was upset because he was alone at home all day. If i were in Luke's shoes I would be bored to death by myself. I also would be scared that the government might knock on the door at anytime i'm by myself

Excellent response! It would be scary and boring to be sitting at home all day; especially if the Government can come and go as they please!
Delete3. Barons are people who have a ton of money or they are rich in this story. The barons are important because they moved on to Luke's street which now means Luke has to be more careful to not be seen.

Great job!
Delete4. When Luke's dad came home from work early he found that Luke was baking bead playing the radio and was downstairs with the blinds open. He was so upset because someone might have seen him. Yes, I do think he should be upset because he could have gotten taking away

Very good!
Delete5. At the end it said that there were two boys who lived there but Luke saw another person.
ReplyDeleteEverett
Uh-oh! I wonder who it is:)
DeleteThe letter that Luke's family received told them that they had to get rid of their hogs. It was such a big deal because they made money on the hogs.

ReplyDelete1. They had to get rid of the pigs =( No more food and that's a problem.
ReplyDelete2. I would feel sad =,( because I wouldn't see my mother a lot and I <3 my mother.
3. Barons are rich people.
4. Luke's dad was furious that he found Luke down stairs making bread and listing to the radio. Luke's dad was furious because Luke could have been caught and taken away.
5. Luke saw a face over in the other house and they already had 2 children.

Good, Oliver. But remember, the more details the better!
DeleteLuke's mom had to go to work because his family was not making enough money. Luke is sad because he has to stay home by himself all day. If I were in Luke's shoes I would feel lonely.

A Baron is someone who is extremely rich. The woods around his home are being torn down to make houses for the Barons. This means Luke can't go outside because he might get caught and killed.

ReplyDeleteLuke's dad found bread baking in the oven. He was upset because that meant that Luke came out of his room and could have been seen. I think he had a reason to be upset because Luke still could have been seen even though the shades were down.

The cliffhanger of chapter 8 is that Luke looked through a vent in his room and saw another shadow child through another house's window where two boys already lived.
