For our read aloud, Mrs. P is reading "Among the Hidden" by Margaret Peterson Haddix, which is part of the "Shadow Children" series. In this book, Luke Garner must be hidden because of the population law in his country. What do you think it would be like to have to hide your whole life, or to never be allowed to leave the same room? Think deeply about this, and answer only after you have looked at all of the possibilities of how this life might feel. Write at least six sentences.
I think it would be pretty horribal. I also think it would be pretty good. i dont want to be luke if i was i would be miserble. i also think they shoukd change the population law to 130. i also think i would probly wouldn't want that life. i hope he dosent get caught
ReplyDeleteI would feel very bad because i can not stand siting in my own room doing nothing.I would not stop up talking.I would constantly say that i was Bord.Even if i had every thing i had ever wanted.It would even make me very mad if i could not sit at the table with my family because i like siting in the living room with mom,dad my brothers and me of cores.I probability would do what he did and sneak out of the house if i was like he to.
ReplyDeleteIf i had to stay in the same room every day then i would be so frustrated and angry with the goverment. In this story this young 12 year old boy only has some toys and books left of his brothers or relatives that he had no idea who they were. Luke garner {12 year old boy} has no freedom at all what so ever, and the worst part is he gets a good lecture or two from his father about how he should never ever go in the kitchen and that he should be cautious at all times, that meant luke could never go in the kitchen again. if i was luke i would've wished i'd never be alive.
ReplyDeleteif i could never do any thing in my life,l would just run away.it would be better to be able to go to another hidden childs house it would be a little fun.it would be terrible to have to stay in a room all day with not a thing to do.and you cant even eat with your family.i dont know why he dident run away.i sure would have.his parents should have moved when his mom was pregnate.if i were him i would be mad at my mom for not moving.
ReplyDeleteI would fell bad because that would be boring because you will have 4 or 5 books. I would not like it because I like to read different books. And you would not have that many toys. I do not play with toys. But when you way little you played with toy. You would not have any friends, and that will not be that fun. You will not learn all the stuff we are learning. If you had brothers and sisters then they can teach you something but they can not teach you like teachers can for example Mrs.Preis she is the best teacher ever. She is the best teacher I have ever had.
ReplyDeleteI would NOT want that life! It seems horrible, after all he did meet another shadow kid. The other shadow kid wants to start a rally, I would to I mean what else are you going to do with your life? Sit up in the attic every single day, and eat a silent breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All I'm trying to say is that like would be absolutely horrible. I'm glad theres no population law, at least where I live!
ReplyDeleteI love this book,I am reading this book at middle school right now. But i feel deeply sorry for Luke, he has to live his whole live hidding mostly. Luke meets this girl named Jen, and Jen wants to go to this rally. I would feel just like luke if I was him. Me personally I think that there should not be a population law, cause everyone should have a chance to live. Well to Luke I would feel abandoned to be in a attic everyday, but on the bright side he must know how to play hide and seek real good.
