Week One: Octobe﻿r 1
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Topic: Characters (Section 1 out of 5 of your text) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Assignment: <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 1. On your group's wiki page, describe the main characters in your text. What makes them interesting? What is their story or background? Why are you drawn to them? Conversely, are there any characters that you just cannot stand? Why not? (A) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 2. Person B should share and discuss their selected quotations, using Save The Last Word techniques. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 3. Person C should post the meeting summary on the group's wiki page after class. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 4.Person D should share his/her questions with the group, as well as post the questions on the group's wiki page

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Group Leader (Jessi Levine):** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> The main characters in our book are Julie and Mike. Julie was married to a man named Jim, who died at the beginning of the book. Mike is Jim's best friend but is in love with Julie. What makes these characters so interesting is that they both have feelings for each other but neither one of them will make a move. It is interesting to read each chapter and see if anything will happen between them, but so far nothing. As a group we all decided that we don't like Richard. First of all we all agree Mike and Julie are meant to be together and Richard is in the way of that. Second Richard is very quiet and he doesn't seem to like Julie's friends too much. And lastly even the dog, Singer, doesn't like Richard. It is really unusual how Singer, Julie's dog, will bark whenever he is around Richard, but he runs and jumps up on Mike. Julie is meant to be with Mike.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Quotation finder( (Nicole Heytink):** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 1. " I told you he was a nice guy, you can admit you were wrong, you know, i think your just jealous."- pg. 9 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 2. (She liked mike)- " Mikes your friend, your best friend, and you don't want to ruin things, do you?" pg.17 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 3 " Why do you keep pretending you don't want to go out with julie?" " Is it because of Jim, because he has been gone for a long time, its not like your trying to steal his wife." pg. 29 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 4. " No i just wanted to hear your voice, the truth is i wanted to see if you would go out this saturday." pg.32 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 5. " I get it, He's perfect, she's wonderful, he's Mr. Everything." pg. 49 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 6. "So should i act like i don't care."--- No act like you do care and want what's best for her." pg. 49 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 7. He gives her the locket-- " Perfect. Its exactly the way i remember it." pg. 61 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 8. " Wheres the locket?" - " Does it bother you that much that i didnt wear it." pg. 76

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Key Questioner:(Kristina Boele & Maria Kovoros)** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 1. When you found out Jim died, how did you feel? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> They really didn't talk about Jim before he died, only after so we never really knew about him. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 2. What do you think about Julie and Mikes frienship? should they be more than friends, or would it ruin the friendship? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We think that they should be more than friends, because they have chemistry. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 3. Who do you think Julie should go for? Mike, her best friend and her ex husbands best friend. or Richard, the perfect guy? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We think that she should go for Mike because he is the perfect boyfriend, and was always there for her when Jim died and she knew him for a long time. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 4. Why do you think Singer growls at every guy Julie brings home except for Mike? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Singer is protective over Julie and doesn't want to be replaced. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 5. If you were in Mike's situation, would you tell Julie how you feel? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Yes, i would definitely think that they should, but it should be at the right time and place. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 6) Do you think Julie is really ready to start dating again? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Yes, it has been four years and she seems to have taken Jim's death well and we all believe she is ready. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 7) Do you think that since Mike was Jim’s best friend he should not date Julie? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> NO, we think that Mike would be the better choice. We think that jim would've wanted her to be happy and to be with someone that he trusts. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 8) Does anyone feel like Singer resembles Jim in Julie’s life? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Yes, we feel he has some of the same qualities that Jim had. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 9) Why do you think Mike has such a hard time saying he has feelings for Julie? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Because he was Jim's best friend. Also, she is dating Richard and he doesn't want to be rejected. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 10) Can you explain Mabel and Julie’s relationship? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> They are very good friends and co workers.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Group Summarizer (Morgan Kenny)** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Our group had a lot to discuss. We talked a lot about Mike and Richard and which person we think should be with Julie. We basically came to the conclusion that Mike should be the one Julie should end up with. Mike was Jim's best friend and we all feel that we trust him, even though we are only nine chapters into the book. Richard seems like a sketchy person to have a relationship with and i think that even though he is supposedly good looking and a genuinely nice guy, something seems wrong. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We also discussed how difficult it must be for Julie to have to start all over again after losing Jim. It seems like such a brave thing to do after what has happened to her. We think that even though Jim was an important part in her life, it's time to move on.

<span style="color: #5e2970; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">**Week Two: October 8** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Topic: Language (Section 2 out of 5 of your text) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Assignment: <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 1. On your group's wiki page, discuss the type of language that your book contains. Is it easy to read? Conversational? "Classic"? Does it use a lot of words you don't understand? What grade level do you think the book is written at, and why? (A) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 2. Person B should share and discuss their selected quotations, using Save The Last Word techniques. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 3. Person C should post the meeting summary on the group's wiki page after class. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 4.Person D should share his/her questions with the group, as well as post the questions on the group's wiki page

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Group Leader: Morgan Kenny** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Sometimes this book is easy to read, and other times it can be confusing. The book switches back and forth between characters, so it can sometimes be hard to understand. But the language is easy to read and understand. I think this book is written at a high school level or higher. It's themes are for a more mature audience and the language is more advanced.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Quotation Finder: Jessi Levine** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> -"You don't know what your talking about, you stupid grease monkey. It's not illegal you hear me? pg. 80 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> -"'suffer not the terrible singers, for they shall ruin ears.'" pg. 89 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> -"I need you." "You do?" "My faucet exploded" pg. 105 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> -"I'm sure. He was a good guy-a great guy. You couldn't have done any better. And he used to tell me that he couldn't have done any better either" pg. 114 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> -"I just needed to talk to someone. Someone i knew would listen" pg. 144

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Key Questioner: Nicole Heytink & Kristina Boele** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 1. Do you think that Mike should have said something back to Benny, the rich kid who needs his car fixed? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Yes he should have said something back because, Mike was just trying to do the right thing, and if he makes the engine louder, he might get in trouble with the police. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 2. Did you actually believe that Mike and Andrea were going out? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> At first we thought that he wasn't joking, but after he said "i'm just kidding" is when we realized that he was joking? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 3. Mike was with Julie alot in this part of the book, do you think that julie is starting to actually like Mike? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Since we started reading the book, we knew that they had feeling for eachother, they never expressed them to eachother. In this chapter they did. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 4. Don't you think that Richard calls/shows up to Julie's work at the weirdest times? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Yes we think that Richard does show up at the weirdest times and we think that he is a creeper. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 5. How did you feel that Mike and Julie are going on a date? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We all liked that they are going on a date because we always wanted them to be together. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 6. How do you think Richard will take it when Julie tells him she doesnt want to be with him anymore? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We think that he will be heartbroken because he really is starting to love her. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 7. What is the main conflict? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> The main conflict is between Richard and Julie, and Mike and Julie because Julie doesn't know what guy to pick. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> ﻿8. What would you do if you found the note that Richard left for Julie? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We all said that we would never talk/call him again. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 9. If you were Mike, how would you feel if you found out that Julie broke up with Richard? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We think that Mike would be happy if he found that out because he wants to be with her. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 10. If you were Mike, would you tell Julie what you heard about Richard? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Yes because he wants her to think that he is bad and wants her to go with him, and no because he wouldn't want to be the guy that broke them up and make her mad at him.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> **Group Summarizer: Maria Kovoros** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Today, our group we discussed what happened in the section of the book we read. The main purpose of this section was that Julie broke up with Richard and she went on a date with Mike. We also discussed who would be better for Julie and we decided it would be Mike because Richard is sketchy and we aren't sure of his motives. We also discussed why it was so hard for Mike to ask Julie out and their relationship in this section of the book. We also spoke about whether or not Richard would stay with Julie or Julie would choose Mike instead. In conclusion, this section of the story was focused on Julie and her relationships with Richard, Mike and also her friends.

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">**Week Three: October 15** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Topic: Mood/Tone (section 3 out of 5 of your text) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Assignment: <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 1.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> **Questions: (Jessi Levine & Morgan Kenny)** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 1.Why did it take Mike so long to ask Julie out? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> It took a while for Mike to ask Julie out because it was an awkward situation because Jim was Mike's best friend and Mike didn't know if Julie would feel the same way. He also wasn't sure if Julie still had feelings for Richard. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 2. Why does Andrea keep going out with bad guys? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> She keeps going out with bad guys because she is a slut. She also has low self esteem and can't have a steady relationship. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 3. Why do you think Richard keeps "running into" Julie? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Richard wants her back, he is creepy and weird. He can't get over the fact that she dumped him. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 4. What do you predict Richard will do to Mike/Julie? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> He might kill Mike and possibly abuse Julie. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 5.

How do you think her date went with mike? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Good but mike was awkward and nervous but at the end it was cute <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 9.

Do you think richard will come back? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> No, mike has replaced him and we hope he never comes back

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> **Group Leader- (Nicole Heytink)** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> The mood/tone of this book is suspense. The overriding emotion of the book is sadness because Julie's, husband Jim died, and so did Richard's Mother. Also Julie and her mother do not get along well and never really see each-other.

 * Group Summarizer- (Jessi Levine)**

Today we discussed all of the chapters we read, and we found out more about Richard and how he is really creepy. We also talked about how Mike attacked Richard and how Julie went all crazy on Richard even though he didn't say anything. We think that Richard is going to do something bad by the end of the mike. Mike also got very mad at Julie because he found out that Richard slept over one night, and he didn't want to talk to her. We think that Mike should trust Julie after all she is going through with RIchard being a creep and believe her that when he slept over it was before any of this happen and he was in a complete separate room. We all want Mike and Julie to stay together.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Group Summarizer-( Nicole Heytink)** Today we talked about how we thought that the ending was really weird. Even though we knew something bad was going to happen we didn't expect Richard to kill Andrea, or Singer. We also found out how Richard is really another person in disguise. Also we were happy that Mike didn't die and that Richard died. We thought that this was really good, and we kept wanting to read more.
