    ReplyDelete

  14. she did save marjan but she might ve survided if the khutun was understanding

    ReplyDelete
  15. who thinks the khutun would b undrstandin

    ReplyDelete
  16. One thing I did'nt get, why was she at the harem, was she allowed or not allowed to be there?

    ReplyDelete
  17. and if she had wanted to rat out marjan then she would have already done it

    ReplyDelete
  18. she helped that doesnt mean she isnt wierd

    ReplyDelete
  19. the khatin would not be understanding

    ReplyDelete
  20. Based on the beginning of the novel I dont think the Khatun is understanding

    ReplyDelete
  21. i dont think the katun would be happy to see marjan

    ReplyDelete
  22. I thought this chapter was the most confusing in the book it was very hard to follow

    ReplyDelete
  23. i agree with nikhi shes nice but she kinda kuku

    ReplyDelete
  24. ok this is 4 leland-
    i was responding to nikkhis comment it just came below a lot of other ppls.

    ReplyDelete
  25. ok why would have the katun wanted her son to marry the copper-haired girl?

    ReplyDelete
  26. i guess she was kinda mean. But she was trying to help Marjan out

    ReplyDelete
  27. Yea I also agree that the Kutun wold have killed Marjan

    ReplyDelete
  28. the roof sounded gross w/ all the poop

    ReplyDelete
  29. how was she kuku leland ?
    she was just pretending to talk to the birds to protect marjan

    ReplyDelete
  30. o sorry lucy there are too many comments and its hard to follow. Chris this chapter was probably the most confusing

    ReplyDelete
  31. chris- it was a weird chapter and this is kinda hard to discuss it this way

    ReplyDelete
  32. cause the copper girl would do as she said and not screw up

    ReplyDelete
  33. that copper haired girl is definetely to no good

    ReplyDelete
  34. can we go on to a new question?

    ReplyDelete
  35. really? i didnt think that it was too hard to follow

    ReplyDelete
  36. Marjan fell for the biggest trick in the book. YOU DON"T LOOK DOWN

    ReplyDelete
  37. this is rele hard 2 follow wheneva u write somethin 10 more things come a t you ad u keep gettin behind

    ReplyDelete
  38. this is hard to keep up with do you guys think we should have people wait like thirty seconds before adding another comment?

    ReplyDelete
  39. Welll do you guys think that we shoud stick to a certain topic and dissguss it that way?? because we r going alot of place here and its kinda hard to keep up.

    ReplyDelete
  40. nvm. but the sulton would kill the chg (copper-haired-girl)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  42. yes i agree i like comment and then ther ar like5 othr comments that are not about my comment

    ReplyDelete
  43. not a trick but a idk the word. She wasn't trying to make her fall but Marjan was dumb/curious enough to look down

    ReplyDelete
  44. CAN WE MOVE TO A DIFF QUESTION PLEASE??

    ReplyDelete
  45. its hard becuase u have to refresh the page its not like chat. ok well how do u like shaharazad right now in the book

    ReplyDelete
  46. what do u guys think of shaharazad?

    ReplyDelete
  47. shes kinda being a jerk to marjan by not helping her more

    ReplyDelete
  48. yea I agree. If someone was guiding me around a dangerous place i would listen and not look down like they said

    ReplyDelete
  49. I don't think Shaharazad gives Marjan enough credit

    ReplyDelete
  50. i think shes rely noble, putting her life out at stake like she does

    ReplyDelete
  51. shes smart nice but shes anoyying cause shes soo desperate

    ReplyDelete
  52. well duh u would b too if u were gunna die if u didnt tell a good story

    ReplyDelete
  53. this isn't working very well everyone needs to slow down. every time I refresh the page whch is about every five to ten seconds there is like ten new comments

    ReplyDelete
  54. ya marjan i feel is under appreciated in that sh neva gets credit but if she did then shaharrazad woud b kiild

    ReplyDelete
  55. ya i agree with leland shaharazad dosnt give marjan enough credit for what she does

    ReplyDelete
  56. if she gave credit to marjan the katun would kill marjan

    ReplyDelete
  57. blank talk 2 me u havent said a word same w/ u char

    ReplyDelete
  58. ya but its her fault for going to the palace in the first place

    ReplyDelete
  59. Well I think Sharazad is very brave for stalling all the killings from the Sultan. But i think that she shouldn't put all that pressure on Marjan to feed her all these good stories

    ReplyDelete
  60. it is'n't her fault, she basically got forced to

    ReplyDelete
  61. apple r is fat refreshin just so u kno

    ReplyDelete
  62. i think shaharazad will die pretty soon. Since it's 1001 nights and towards the beginning of the novel (i don't know the exact page) Shaharazad says it's been almost 1000 nights

    ReplyDelete
  63. ya she got too away from her home to help sharharzad

    ReplyDelete
  64. why do you guys think that the crazy old lady i forget her name is at the palace

    ReplyDelete
  65. but dontcha think that the sultan should love her by now

    ReplyDelete
  66. her name is Zaynab

    ReplyDelete
  67. but now sharharazad dosnt trust her

    ReplyDelete
  68. i dont know maby we should discus that

    ReplyDelete
