MelvinJim might threaten Long Jhon silver as he stole the treasure and is old so is almost defenceless and also, they might talk about what happened on the boatand how the captain knew about what Jhon was going to do and they might also talk about what happened when Jim went and found Ben Gunn.

Melvin 🙂 🙂 🙂The reason the mormons were included was because they were religious and that was the reason the man and his daughter died. Also, since they were killing a lot, it kind of fits in with the theme of murder and it kind of shows the intelligence of the author to know this information. 🤓🤓🤓🤯🤯🤯

Melvin 🙂 🙂 🙂Harry Baker:
He is the complete opposite Sherlock in any way. He does not dress formal like Sherlock but instead, wears t-shirts and shorts with flip flops and he doesn’t smoke or wear any sort of hat and is completely bald. Appearance is not the only difference. Harry strides around thinking he is the best and isn’t good at anything, isn’t intelligent, is really affable having many friends and is 42 years old. Having blue eyes, Harry has a round face and is from Scotland. The only similarities are the fact that they both like bacon, eggs, ham and are detectives.Harry and Sherlock first meet in the 11th book and only see each other for a breif while but as Sherlock was solving a crime, Harry saw this and it made him determined to work harder and be smarter and better than Sherlock. in the 13th book, they meet up again and are forced to work together but as soon as the crime was solved, they parted instantly and never worked together since then. In the following books, Harry Baker is mentioned here and then but never does anything major.

Hi Beth,
this is my homework for lesson 2 of holes. Thanks.
Melvin 🙂 🙂 🙂The phisical environment play in the plot as it makes things more harsh for the boys and kind of drives them into the barren desert like terrain partly. It also adds lots of description and one of the past stories rely on the harsh conditions. This links to the lushness of God’s Thunb as it gives a lot of contrast in the story along with the contrast of free-will and fate contrast.

Stanley starts to call Zero his actual name because it might be some sort of protest against the american racist society. Since Zero is black, he has been so overlooked that he can’t even read and doesn’t even have records in computers or the files! I think this is a kind of protest as it is recognising a black person’s existance not pretending they’re not there by saying their name. It kind of started when he didn’t leave zero not even because his race and he might have started this because the american law is very unfair and racist and he is a victim of that crime. I can’t find any direct evidence and I also think that Stanley called Zero Hector because it is a way of being polite when everyone doesn’t approve of his existance.

Sorry I couldn’t come to the lesson but I whatched the recording.
Melvin 🙂 🙂 🙂Louis Sachar might have written Holes to show how unjust it is to send KIDS to jail and to show how wrong the old law and morden law is as he was a lawer. He probably based the story on the hot texas summers he dealt with and the primary school children he worked at. He might have also put the theme of racism in there because USA is a very racist country even now.

Melvin. 🙂 🙂 🙂Mortal Engines is a book about a young boy who is kicked out of London and soon finds himself going through lots of trauma and chaos with an assassin as a friend. And unexpectedy, he tries to stop London when he is supposed to be helping it at first.
At first I thought that Hester was a grouchy person but near the end, I thought that she was a pretty nice person and my feelings changed for valentine to . At the start of the book, i thought he was a stupid cruel idiot but at the end, I found out that he was only like that because he had the lack of long term thingking and thinking outside the box. I really liked how the author conveys the message of the story very well by reflecting a lot on municipal darwinism.
Overall, I would give this book a 5 star rating.
Bye the way, I really liked the breakout rooms and I hope that we do it again and if we do, do it again, can I be partners with Leo again please?

Hi Beth,
this is my homework for the week. Thanks. 🙂Traction cities could go back to electricity rather than burning up stuff which creates co2 which will destroy the planet like it will soon enough from now. Also they can finally settle on the earth (not on wheels) and grow crops there and get democracy running again so everything is peaceful. Also they can trad stuff instead of eat other things for stuff andplant more vegetation on the ground which is more or less extinct. We can learn that traction cities are reckless brutes that are dunb for eating each other rather that using their mouths for talking.

when oliver met fagin and crew
“This is fagin Oliver.” said Jack dawkins.
“Come Oliver, let me hang your coat for you.”said Fagin.”haha. another potential theif. Yay. more money and food and luxuaries.” thought Fagin. “Ka-ching.” went his mind.
The other boys scambled to help him with his things. Fagin secretly rubbed his hands behind Oliver’s back. “surprised to see that many handkercheifs? They’re just about to be washed.” lied Fagin.
Oliver ate his food and sank into sleep as Fagin came up with a scheme that would turn Oliver into a theif without him knowing is. -

Hi Beth,

In what ways does Oliver Twist challenge our assumptions about people?
Oliver twist challenges our assumptions about people because when we think of gentlemen, we think of kind, helpful men but in oliver twist, the gentlemen are cruel and frown upon orphans and peasants. Also, oliver is an orphan and we picture orphans getting adopted and whipped into shape with hard work and they obey the master’s command, in the Victorian period but oliver doesn listen and wait to get battered again, instead he runs away.Melvin 🙂 🙂 🙂
