Olivia Day 6 I have to agree with Ben about all these short chapters. I'm really liking them! Finally I can get my homework done before 11:00 p.m. I also am happy that Mrs.Olinski picked Julian instead of Ham. Great thinking Malina. I couldn't believe that the commissioner said that Julians answers was wrong.! I mean you could tell that Julian Knew it was right. On page 127, paragraph 1, I found a weird word. It was " trounce." Do any of you know what it means? I found a simile on page 128, paragraph 2. " They raised their arms high ahead and lifted their thumbs like a forests of small apostrophes at the ends of their closed fists." I happen to fid another simile on page 129, paragraph 3. " Smiling faces lifted and tilted toward him like the broad faces of sunflowers as they follow the sun across heaven." Their is just so many figurative language in this book i can hardly keep up. Can you guys? Anyway see you guys tomorrow at school. Only 6 more days for all of us to say that!!!!!! :) Steven Day 6 I agree with corey that every chapter starts with the word the. I didn't know what posh meant but I did know what tip meant so I don't know why they don't think that tip is a possible answer.I hope that all of these chapters stay small because it makes it easyer. I think that the souls are really good because they are the first sixth grade team to beat a seventh grade team. I think it was funney that Ham belched and tried to belch on command. I am realy looking forward to chapter seven because this book is getting better. Malina Day 6 This chapter was harder to understand last time. The reason why the eighth grade team was losing against the Souls at end of the chapter is because the eighth grade team was being cocky because just because the Souls were six graders and their eighth graders. I agree with Mrs. Olinsk’s team picking reasons and the team picking also the reason they work together. Imagine if she picked the ham guy jerk they would lose and not get along. Ben I would thank Mrs. Farabaugh for the short chapter if she have done the schedule but we done it. Christian I do agree because the way the chapters are shorter makes it weirder. This isn’t much like I said last time but the chapters are short. Bye! ________________________________________ Corey day 6 Hello people and friendly bloggers. I think I just used a adverb. I agree with you, Malina, I am so glad that Mrs.Olinski picked Julian Singh instead of Hamilton Knapp It would have been terrible if Mrs. Olinski had chosen Ham because that would have ruined the team. Noah, Nadia, and Ethan would have really bad problems with Hamilton Knapp, and they wouldn't have gotten as far as they are now. Thomas, I know it might not be hard to memorize poetry, but we are talking 16 poetry every quarter. I think it is really hard to do. I have no Idea what Posh and Tip means. Does any of you guys have any idea what it means. Found a simile on page 129 paragraph 7 "smiling faces lifted and tilted toward him like the broad front faces of sunflowers as they follow the sun across heaven." I think it is dumb to call a whole assembly just to tell you the pressure of the game against the eighth grade Knightsbridge. I am glad that The Souls beat the seventh grade team. Ben Day 6 Hello bloger peeps! I think this book is very confusing like her other book we already read. THANKYOU again Mrs. Farabaugh, for this extermely short chapter. Is the souls a bowling team or what??? If they are i would have been her first choice every time ig i get a very good score. Trynig to copy me i see Olivia well its not going to happen !:( To bad Mrs. Olinski isnt real she would make an awsome teacher ( not that you arent Mrs. Farabaugh!). Noah is very smart . bye Thomas day six. Grettings class. Ok after eading some of the comments about day five. I have a broad statement to say this book has some weird people in it. I doubt we need to list them. That is why I think the author did a good job at being diverse. she has a character in a wheel chair, a character who moved from britian, ect..., Ben Mrs. farabaugh did not assign the chapters our group did. also ben i did not see secntences Just.Like. If anything it was a printing malfunction. Cory I do agree with you hoe it has short chapters and long chapters really long chapters. akthough i dis agree with you when say the details are annoying. dictorial means 1: of or typical of a ruler with tramendous power 2: having or showing atendency to tell people to do something hashly. I do not know how i kknow that just came to mind. Hanna Mrs.onlaski was jelious because because as i can asume I was jelious when I had to ride in a Whell chair when I did something to my ankles and to imagine that she has to "live" in that thing it can caome annoying how you wish you could walk like the other peple. Steven the last chapter was not only on Mrs onlaski there werer other thing happening like how the "Souls" were acting. Although it was all in the eyes of Mrs onlaski. I think i know that this book in third person point of veiw. I can support this by the facts that Mrs.onlaski is not talking to the reader she seems to be talking to some one and they/ that mystery person seems to be talking to the reader. that is why i think the book is in third person. It is hard to believe we are almost doen with the book. What does "Posh and tip," mean first sentence. When I read the first page on chapter six I imagined it to be like Julian got cptured by the enimes in Star Terk adn was being qustioned whiled being tied to a chair. Now i think that my prediction that something bad happened by this section the last part of the 1st section on the secod page "Youll ought to check a nother source. Did the peopled in epihany know that the underdogs almost always win ex. last super bolw, every sports novel possible, and Annie. I only see one way to practice for a brain bowl and that is going for a question you do not know. If i would set up a team i would have people take different subjects. Doess anyone know what the answers are to the question in te game? I dont. This thing (brain bowl) reminds me of the scrabble tourament i had with my clas last year the under dog (robert) beat me in the final round. i think that the the souls are going to face a collage team from Harvard and Win go underdogs. Ham is probalbly on the stage when he is about to get detetion. Would not be surprising. What is a belch I cant in=magine one sory. I bet that everyone will think why is ham is so mean. Cory dont you plant every plant in the ground or dirt,sand. Ben I havnt heard about that ethier. The minnisota story. Christian Day #6 Hello everyone! This book is getting shorter as it goes. Don’t you think? It is making sense and is getting better. What do you guys think? I agree with Ben when he said that in the book it said Just. Like. That. It was really weird. I also agree with Thomas when he said there was a few moments of suspense in the last chapter. I agree with Olivia when she said that the chapter was about Mrs. Olinski but it didn't sound like her point of view like all the others. I found out what posh means. It means fashionable. I found a spelling word on page 127. Mediocre. It has a really weird spelling. I am so happy that we used to have 40 pages and now we have 6. It only takes me 10 minutes. See you guys tomorrow! Day 5 Lilly, Ben the word dictatorial means autocratic. That was a good question. I think Mrs. Sharkey is a weird name for a teacher. Don't you guys think so too? Are Just. Like. That. complete sentences? I found a simile on page 122 paragraph 3. Her wrists hanging below his cuffs like meter sticks showing how much he had grown since the jacket was new. What does the word vulgar mean on the bottom of page 123? I really don't know. You are right Malina every chapter does start with Mrs. Olinski. That is pretty cool but i really didn't notice till i read the blog. Happy blogging everyone! Hannah Day #4 Hello bloggers! Yea I agree with Christian and Malina when they said that this blogging thing is getting more easy! On page 101 why does Nadia keep asking if Noah has a dog? Wow, I knew Hamilton was mean, but a drugged treat? Really! You may not like Nadia, but it doesnt mean you can take it out on there dog. Even if he wanted his friend to get the part. Nadia was really nice to let Froelich do the first show. Its a good thing Julian took those treats. How come whenever Sandy comes onto the stage everyone claps? Sure it was a nice show, but you really got to clap whenever Sandy comes in? I wish the chapter continued on to see what happened to Hamilton after Julian did the magic trick. I think it was good what Julian did. Hamilton deserved whatever came at him. I liked this chapter. How about you guys? Bye! Hannah Day #6 I agree with Malina that Julian was the right person to pick. I predict that if Hamilton was on the team all they would do is disagree with each other and argue. Corey I dont think its poinsetta it is poinsettia. It is a flower. You cant plant it in the ground though. It has to be in a vase or pot. You can see it around winter most likely. (It doesnt grow in the winter, but it is sold a lot for Christmas.) Wow, Julian seems a little more advanced that the commissioner. :P I remember hearing the word mediocre before, but I dont know what it means. Does anyone else know? I think it was a spelling word. If I were them I would be very confused because sometimes when I read to much my brain starts getting fuzzy and I get a headache. I mean how could they spend about 1 hour and 30 minutes Monday-Friday doing that?! I just looked ahead. THIS CHAPTER IS SOOOO SHORT! Only 6 pages! I liked this chapter. (Mostly because it was so short!) BYE!
