C... WOOT WOOT!
ReplyDeletedo we want to have a leader or just let the conversation flow?
I say just let the conversation flow, that way we wont have someone dominating
ReplyDeletesounds good to me :)
ReplyDeletei think mr. kaelin said we could have a leader if we wanted to, but we dont have to
ReplyDeleteIf we get stuck though, somone can just kick start us back.
ReplyDeletebut who wants to be a leader?
ReplyDeleteare we commenting on ch. 9 or 10?
ReplyDeletech7-10
ReplyDeleteSo in chapter nine, marjan comes out of the box and explores the Bazaar. she searches all day for the blind story teller, but cant find him all day. so she begins to ask around if anyone knows him later, she meets a boy who says he knows where he lives.
ReplyDeleteshould we just start on our views of Zaynab
ReplyDeleteI think we are on nine
ReplyDeletezaynab is in chapter 7... we are on chapter nine
ReplyDeletemy bad
ReplyDeleteoh never mind. OOPPS! sorry i ment who wants to start the disscusion first
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think she would agree to do this if her foot hurt so bad. i know she likes shaharazad, but it starts to really pain her. also, was it in this chapter where she says that if it werent for her mom, she would be whole?
ReplyDeletei think she also wants to prove Duniazad wrong, and that she wants to help sharazad
ReplyDeleteyeah, she really admires shahrazad, so she wants to help her (so shahrazad doesnt get killed)
ReplyDeleteMarjan goes to find the Blind story teller, she has trouble finding him in the bazar, she asks if anyone knows the beggar and a boy says he knows where the beggar is.
ReplyDeleteyah i think that too because if she didnt want to help shaharazad in the beging, than she would hav left by now
ReplyDeleteBecause thn the sultan would start killi again. It is a matter of civic duty.
ReplyDeletealso, didnt she tell shaharazad about only part of the story?
ReplyDeletethe boy who lead here to the house was sorta strange but most happened in chapter 10
ReplyDeleteyeah. when the eunichs pass her on pg 85-86, do you think they were sent by the kutan to find her?
ReplyDeleteThat is why marjan is out of the palace. To basicaly find the rest of the story.
ReplyDeleteprobably, otherwise what would the eunichs be doing in the bazar?
ReplyDeleteI dont think so.
ReplyDeleteyah but do you guys think she will find the rest of the story?
ReplyDeleteprobably not because she had only been gone for a little bit and the palace is soooooooo big they would usume that she was some where in the palace unless someone told them their plan
ReplyDeleteYes, I think she will. In chapter 10 she says she was going to come back to the story teller to learn more of the story
ReplyDeleteyea but we should talk about marjan. why do u think that she is risking her life for Sh.
ReplyDeletedo you think that she will die in the end?
i think that she does, because most stories end well
ReplyDeletewait, alex, why dont you think so? im not contradicting you, i just really am curious
ReplyDeletei was taling about the kuhtuns rr how ever u spell it
ReplyDeleteShaharizad would also be covering her back.
ReplyDeletebtw, i was responding to komal's comment
ReplyDeleteok, im kinda confused right now.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of suspense in these two chapters
ReplyDeletedo you think there is any forshadowing in this chapter?
ReplyDeleteand yeah, there is a TON of suspense!
ReplyDeleteyee im confused to should we have someone give us something to talk about?
ReplyDeletewhat do u mean by forshadowing
ReplyDeleteBecause someone would most likely have reported Marjan. I also think the Eunichs were just strolling along the Bazaar, not looking for someone
ReplyDeleteyeah... does anyone have a question they really want answered?
ReplyDeletebut sophia i think she wouldn't because she probely wont find it in the palace.
ReplyDeletethe suspense was really good i actually wanted to keep reading most of the suspense was created by the boy
ReplyDeletei mean is there any way that you can predict the future of the book from this chapter, samIE
ReplyDeletealex i agree. because arent there Eunichs everywhere i think guarding the palace?
ReplyDeleteLets talk about what happens when they are planing to send marjan to go fnd the story teller.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what do they plan???????
ReplyDeleteyeah. the boy was pretty mysterious and kinda vague when he was talking to marjan.
ReplyDeleteyeah, marjan thought that he was tricking her and she had fallen for the trick. if i were marjan i wouldnt let some stranger take me to find a blind beggar.
ReplyDeletedoes anyone have predictions?
ReplyDeletei think marjan will attemp to come back, and will a couple times, but before she heres the rest of the story, she will get caught
They just plan to send her in a broken chest to go into the bazar and find the story teller.
ReplyDeleteo sorry... i was typing that and didnt see our conversation!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Pauli.
ReplyDeletebut wouldn't it be obvious if the same chest kept braking?
ReplyDeletehe was greedy but what i didn't get is that the people she asked turned around said NO i have No idea who your talking about that was wierd
ReplyDeletewasnt the boy poor..and hungry?
ReplyDeleteyah i agree with sophia. because you never really know if she's blind or there just tricking her like you said sophia
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeletehe was really greedy to cus he was always trying to take her money
I think Shahrizad would send something else, not the same chest.
ReplyDeleteon number three, what does he mean by plot hill?
ReplyDeleteopps i meant if the beggars blind (i didnt mean to say she.) Srry
ReplyDeleteis it like rising action, falling action, or climax?
ReplyDeletew8 who is blind im not following this at all
ReplyDeleteEither intro, Rsing Action, Climax, Falling action, conclusion.
ReplyDeletei think it means like the climax, reselotion, and all that. i think though
ReplyDeleteo yeah... good point alex!
ReplyDeletei think he means (you know, all stories have plot lines) where on the plot line is this
The story teller is blind
ReplyDeletethe blind guy is the story teller
ReplyDeletethe begger is supposedly blind Sam.
ReplyDeleteoh w8 sry i get it now
ReplyDeletei dont think there is any climax yet its just rising and falling
so does anyone want to switch questions yet?
ReplyDeleteit was very discusting that the streets were all smelly and had animal droppings and stuff on page # 82. thats so nasty that she can smell the sweet also.
ReplyDeleteotherwise known as the story teller.
ReplyDeleterising action, getting rlly close to climax
ReplyDeletewow, sophia, we posted the same comment at like the same time
ReplyDeleteand i think it is still in the rising action, but close to the climax. what do you think?
the guy who lead her to the storyteller??
ReplyDeleteno, the storyteller is blind
ReplyDeleteI dont know. I say were are in the middle between the climax and the intro.
ReplyDeletethe guy who lead her isnt blind
ReplyDeleteis the guy who lead marjan to the storyteller blind? cus how could he be blind
ReplyDeletesweat sorry
ReplyDeleteyeah, i agree.
ReplyDeletedo you want to look at number 8?
i think we are getting somewhat close to the climax
ReplyDeleteno he is not blind
ReplyDeleteok, the guy who led her isnt blind. the actual story teller is blind
ReplyDeleteyah. what do you guys think is guna hapen
ReplyDeleteThe author is setting up the story so that either Marjan succeds, or fails. If she fails, Shaharizad and Marjan die.
ReplyDeleteI think Zayanab is actually marjan's mother.
ReplyDeleteyes!!!
ReplyDeleteok now do u think when marjan gets to his house that he will tell her the story
gud point, alex... i think she might get some of the story
ReplyDeleteyup. but wouldnt that kind of be like the end of the story?
ReplyDeleteok i thought alex said the guy who lead her was blind i got really confused
ReplyDeletei think were close to the climax im exited for some action
that was really fun... and yeah, i think she will succeed around the end of the book
ReplyDeleteno one is answering my QUESTIONS!!
ReplyDeleteThis was a learning experiment. Thanks to all for participating in a positive way. Mr. K
