okey dokey, I wanna predict whats happenin next, i keep it short and sweet: i think sharazad is gunna die
ReplyDeletewow
ReplyDeletethat was weird
ReplyDeleteis that true
ReplyDeleteand marjan wil hav to take over her place
ReplyDeleteI'll start with the recap. Marjan is following this boy to find the storyteller. She's worried he'll leave her since she didn't pay in advance. Eventuall y the boy blindfolds her and leads her to this house. Here she finds the storyteller who tells her the name with two B's. Badar Basim.
ReplyDeleteNo if Marjan found the story teller she isn't gonna die
ReplyDeletewhy would she die?
ReplyDeletewhich chapter is this? I'm getting it confused with the other ones...
ReplyDeletelol this goes fast, I think Marjan is not going to get the whole story or it might be wrong
ReplyDeletebecause it would be unexpected
ReplyDeleteHere's something I've wondered about: why does the boy call Marjan "Sister"?
ReplyDeleteOh ok so Marjan is hearing the story from the story teller guy
ReplyDeletesharazad is too big a character in the book to die now i think
ReplyDeleteIt's out of respect lauren i think
ReplyDeletehe might think that marjan IS his sister
ReplyDeleteOk cuz Marjan called dat random merchant "uncle"
ReplyDeleteI think that the boy is going to trick her somehow i also think that the story teller is werid how could he be blind and then not
ReplyDeleteI think the guy is kinda like arabian mafia
ReplyDeleteREVELATION! HES THE GUY WHO SMUGGLES WOMEN OUT OF THE TOWN!!!
nah I don't think so, her mother isn't that mean to her she wuld tell her if she had a sister
ReplyDeletei mean brother
ReplyDeletegod jack look what you did now we are talking about if marjan will die and everyone knows she wont because it will be a happy ending
ReplyDeletewhy don't you think the storyteller quickly grabs the gold dinar like the boy?
ReplyDeleteoh and i agree with eric that he is calling marjan sister out of respect
ReplyDeletewhy are we talking about the chapters and not whats gonna happen in future
ReplyDeleteWhoa anton thats suspense!!!!! But wouldn't he know Marjan if he wuz that guy? she sed somthing about it in ch. 9
ReplyDeletei think that he is proably really poor and that he is kinda greedy
ReplyDeletei think marjan will get tricked
ReplyDeleteNah theyr not really siblings, just like friendly, like friars are called brother (brother mat) or nuns sisters (sister mary)
ReplyDeleteits not all about predictions, besides we made some already. I think the Marjan wont hear all the story or it may be wrong
ReplyDeletei disagree with anton i think that he is ust a poor boy not a mofia
ReplyDeleteif the storyteller is greedy, why wont he quickly grab the gold dinar?
ReplyDeleteif Marjan gets the story correctly, she'll go out to get more stories
ReplyDeletewhy cant they just killl the sultan
ReplyDeletemaybe tats wats gonna happen
yeah mabye she will have half the story or something
ReplyDeletethey cant kill the sultan because of the katun
ReplyDeleteI think that there is definitly way more to this story teller guy than we already no
ReplyDeleteif you look at how much more of the book we have it would not be that much longer if she got the story
ReplyDeletethat would be hard Zack, remember how the Khatun protected him from assassins before, she probably wont stop that yet
ReplyDeleteso what
ReplyDeletethey can just kill the kathun too
ReplyDeleteI think she may have to come back for more of the story or for dif stories
ReplyDeleteThe khatuns gonna kill some1 if the sultan dies, like Marjan
ReplyDeletewell he didnt grab it means he doesnt need the money
ReplyDeletethat leads to why he was begging a bit ago, my answer is:
He was gathering information
Therefore:
The beggar is some kind of spy
Proof:
He has disguises (fake blindness) and the boy had to lead Marjan through a whole buncha passages to get to him
but don't you think the Khatun would be supsciiuos if she is gone a whole day?
ReplyDeletewhy would sharazad not be able to get past the kutun
ReplyDeletehello can anyone respond to my q
ReplyDeleteZack i dont think ths story is all about killing people
ReplyDeleteyes i think she is going to notice if marjan is not there
ReplyDeletesharazad isn't that mean to kill some1
ReplyDeleteThe beggar guy is hiding from Khatun!
ReplyDeletebut why anton?
ReplyDeletemarjan is also very helpsless without shaharazad
ReplyDeleteAnton i think pretty much evry1 is hidng frm da khatun
ReplyDeleteno i dont think so she is always arond other people and people would see them killing her and i agree with laren i dont think that the story is abut killing
ReplyDeletemaybe he tried to kill the sultan once eric
ReplyDeletewow this is going really fast. every time i post a comment there is a new discussion
ReplyDeleteIm gonna talk about a dif ?. Do you think Marjan thinks she's so high and royal now after living in the harem?
ReplyDeletemaybe
ReplyDeleteeric he's some kind of rebel guy hoping to end the killing and he knows the khatun has tons of spies and he is some kind of contact with a whole bunch of people to smuggle people out
ReplyDeletewhat why would the begger hinding from the kutun mabye the sory teller is seeing that he blindfolded them before he took them to his house
ReplyDeletewat does dif mean
ReplyDeleteif shararazad plannd da hole thng, she wood find a way to make sure the khatun dosnt find out
ReplyDeletewow aggreeing with jack about the new conversation thing
ReplyDeleteAll i think is that the storyteller has a bigger part in the story than we think
ReplyDeleteum i dont think so i think that marjan want to be back at home not at the palace
ReplyDeleteyeah
ReplyDeletebut doesn't she love the royal food and clothes?
ReplyDeletemaybe but maybe hes just in the story tto help marjan
ReplyDeletekhatun=fat evil overprotective creepy mother
ReplyDeletei wonder how he and the sultan both know the story but sharazad doesn't
ReplyDeleteDo we think that the story teller guy was blind and now is cured somehow or that he was faking it before? I think that he was somehow cured. It would go well with the air of mistery around him
ReplyDeletemaybe he told it to him!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteto the sultan
ReplyDeletei dont marjan luvs the ryal stuff all tht much she just wants 2 go home
ReplyDeleteanton who ever said she was creepy
ReplyDeletehow wood da beggar guy b curd??
ReplyDeleteand no eric why would Marjan feel high and Mighty? it's not really privledged to be one of he harem...
ReplyDeletebut she's acting kind of prideful and stuff lauren like when she says pg 94 "You don't want to make enemies of my friends."
ReplyDeletetrue she did say she wanted to go home
ReplyDeletemabye but then how would they have nown each other the kutun was protecting her sons she wouldnot have let him talk to a old begger
ReplyDeleteI still think hes a spy guy
ReplyDeletemayb he wasn't a begger back than nicole
ReplyDeleteprobably not
ReplyDeletei thnk marjan wuz jst actng proud b-cuz she needs the story badly
ReplyDeletemayb like an old eunuch or some1 close to the sultan
ReplyDeletenah she's just streetwise!
ReplyDeleteknows how to get the info outa him
ReplyDeletehe mustve been the person that slepped with the sultans first wife and started the whole thing
ReplyDelete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletewhen she said you dont wanna make enemies and that he snorted, it didn't make him frightened
ReplyDeletealso i wonder why the begger dose not pick up the gold it says on page 95 "i set the coin down on the crpet. still the man did not pick it up. this was a hovel they lived in- i could tell by the carpet and the walls..."
ReplyDeletedood i totally agree with eric. I think the dood who was blind was the person who toled the sultan the story. Perhaps he was one of the people who assinated the sultans older bro and he had to flee the palace and make a new identity (hence the fake blindness). That would explain why the sultan is like the only one who nos the story
ReplyDeleteya i said that also nicole in the bginnnin but no1 answwered, I think he 's secretly rich
ReplyDeletewait im relly lost what exactly r we tlkng bout?
ReplyDeletequote from the green paper: "how is the author setting up the story for later events?" Marjan is gonna need to take more trips to Mr. Arabian Mafia and she'll learn his plans and such
ReplyDeletea lot of things lauren
ReplyDeletethe beggar not picking up gold, how sultan and beggar know same story
ReplyDeleteI think she may just want more stories from him, but I think the Khatun will get suspicious and might try to stop her next time getting out
ReplyDeletehello my idea was good right
ReplyDeletei thnk da reesn he & da beggar both no da stry is jst to giv marjan a reesn 2 help shaharazad
ReplyDeleteabout the blind dude sleepin with the sultans first wife and starting the whole thing
ReplyDeletehoo yeah... so new talking point...
ReplyDeleteHow will Scheherezade sneak Marjan out?
I think actually that zaynab will be the key
i agree with jack i do not think that the person is blind i think that he is somehow realated maybe a preson who came to the palace when the sultan was litle and he told his story like a preormer or something
ReplyDeleteyou think she'll go by the basket thingy?
ReplyDeletehmm... that would really be a twist nicole
ReplyDeletei dont think that he is secretlly rich, he just is above being desperate for money. I dont think he wants to draw attention to himself with a whole bunch of money. This bacs up my statment of how he is running from the sultan
ReplyDeletewow... how many people here and how long have we been going?
ReplyDeleteeric wats da baskt thingy?
ReplyDeletei dont know wont marjan just get back into the draw thing that she came in
ReplyDeletemaybe he was banished from the harem for like disagreeing with him or something
ReplyDeletewhere the letters are brought down to the street lauren
ReplyDeleteperhaps the man once was a close servant for the sultan when he was a child. He made up the story and told only the sultan.
ReplyDeleteGreat job group! This was a learning experiment. Thanks to all for participating in a positive way.
ReplyDeleteSome very good ideas about the chapter.
