ReplyDeleteok im on
ReplyDeletegood
ReplyDeleteDo you think the author did a good job of describing what it was like inside the chest? I think it was a pretty good job. Last paragraph on pg 76 is a good example.
ReplyDeletekk get ur books out and open to the start of chapter 8
ReplyDeleteyup.. ok so what is the main thing we are going to tlk about now
ReplyDeleteHow have things changed since the begining?
ReplyDeleteThere has been a lot of change...
ReplyDeleteIt says that he kids wanted to be like the sultan when they were older
ReplyDeleteWhat do you guys think is happening with the storyteller guy? Why is he such a secret?
ReplyDeleteYes she did a GREAT job, i could see myself inside the chest, and feel the feelings, but i could also see outside the chest, so it was cool
ReplyDeleteIt has changed because now shahrazzad is living more because of the great stories
ReplyDeleteone thing a predict is that Marjan is going to finally get caught from the eunichs and she is going to have to confront the sultans mother
ReplyDeletethat was to nickys question
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nicky.. They rly did describe the chest rly well. and it must have been rly uncomforatable by the way they described it
ReplyDeleteYES she WILL
ReplyDeleteto ryan
ReplyDeletethe author is good because you can really imagin
ReplyDeleteYeah, I thought so too Ryan. She seems like a scary person.

ReplyDeleteGood question ryan. I give you 1 gold star
ReplyDeleteWhy are we talking about like 3 different things? We should focus on one question or topic..:)
ReplyDeleteYeah, you can imagine what's happening when Marjan's in the crate. Shakes, scratches, etc.
ReplyDeleteOkay what should we focus on?
ReplyDeleteyeah I agree lauren
ReplyDeletePeople keep resfreshing the page to keep up with the conversation
ReplyDeleteyeah guys we have to focus in one thing at a time
ReplyDeletelet's go on Q #@
ReplyDeleteOK!! LEts talk about one question!!!
ReplyDeleteHow things have changed since the begining?
ReplyDeleteNickY?
ReplyDeleteOk we are ALL focusing on question two now.
ReplyDeleteok so .... wat do we want to focus on?
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to choose one because we'd have to be reloading constantly to see what's happening. We should get an autoupdate chatbox to make this work better.
ReplyDeleteWho votes we discuss the change? Who votes we discuss description? Who votes we discuss the story teller? I want to discuss the change, but let's see what everyone else wants.
Yeah i agre wit jorge it started out nice but now it is suspenseful
ReplyDeletequestion 2
ReplyDeleteo ok..sry i got confused
ReplyDeleteI SAY WE JUST DISCUSS ANYTHING ABOUT CHAPTER 8
ReplyDeletealot of things have changed since the begining because now Marjan is like royalty and she is working for Shaharazad
ReplyDeleteNow it's kind of like a drama and you really want to know what will happen next
ReplyDeleteLets go with question two. Things have changed a lot since the beginning. One major change I noticed is that Marjan thought before that living the harem would be so fun, now she realizes how dangerous it is.
ReplyDeleteyeah your right jorge it is
ReplyDeleteOK, question 2 it is.
ReplyDelete"Crazy" Zaynab has been introduced, that's pretty big.
we have 60 comments lol
ReplyDeletebefore marjan just read stories to children and now in her hands is the life of shaharazzad
ReplyDeleteYa jorge ur right its like a movie or something!! haha :)... And i think the things that have changed since the beginig include: Marjan not living with her aunt and living in the harem, and not having anybody to talk to...
ReplyDeleteZAYNAB IS COOL
ReplyDeleteNicky: Yeah, I have a feeling she will become a bigger character and is important to the plot.
ReplyDeleteYa Crazy Zaynab is a rly interesting character
ReplyDeletei agree with val because if she doesnt tell a good story to Shaharazad she might get blamed if Shahrazad dies
ReplyDeleteyeah I agree w/val
ReplyDeleteZaynab brings a cool twist into the story, she kinda helps marjan and is a friend
ReplyDeleteVal: that is a good thought that wld be cool if she became importent in the story beacause i like her character !!! :)
ReplyDeleteI thnk we should go on to the next question what do u think?
ReplyDeleteIDK
ReplyDeleteyeah i agree w/ kurt that Zaynab is kinda like a friend
ReplyDeleteYeah me too! I think Zaynab could be kinda like Auntie Chava for Marjan cause since Marjan is away from home, she's been feeling lonely.
ReplyDeleteyeah me 2 I agree w/kurt
ReplyDeleteOk is everybody done making a comment on number 2? IF so we could move on to another Q
ReplyDeleteI think that Zaynab will end up at least as the 3rd most important person in the story
ReplyDeleteZaynab does deserve the title "crazy". Other than Zaynab and the chest, there isn't much else that has changed in this chapter from the beginning. From the beginning to this chapter, a ton.
ReplyDeleteyeah we dont have much time lets move on
ReplyDeletethat's a good thought val
ReplyDeleteQ3
ReplyDeleteslow down lauren D
ReplyDeleteYeah, lets move on. Anyone have an idea?
ReplyDeleteVal/Ryan: i think that she wld kind of be a freind to her but she is also kind of different and wierd..But we rly dont know that much about her beacause she just came into the story...
ReplyDeleteQ3
ReplyDeleteQ6?
ReplyDeleteQ3 Why Does the Kahtun hate shaharazad?
ReplyDeleteSeven is sorta like my question that I made myself. Who's up for #7?

ReplyDeletewhat part of the plot hill is this and why?
