On the first page of chapter 10, when it was saying how neat the Fosters were, I inferred thathe Fosters were very strict, especially with cleanliness, and they wanted to keep everything neat all the time.

On the second page of chap. 10 where it says,"Every wall was piled and strewn and hung with everything imaginable, from onions to lanterns to wooden spoons to washtubs. And in a corner stood Tuck's forgotten shotgun."I had a visualization of all that stuff. From this vis., i inferred that the Tuck's were pretty carefree.
on page 51, when it describes the tucks house, i had a connection because my house is just as messy with things strewn around and forgotten items in corners.
On page 50 I had a question what "indomitable" meant. I guessed that it meant clean. It was a wild guess so I'm not sure what it actually means.
I had a connection on page 51. They said that everything in the parlor was all arranged helter-skelter. That was one of our vocab words.

On page 51 of chapter 10, I had a connection. Apparently, the Tuck's house wasn't as clean (neat) as I thought it would be! This reminded me of my room, because it is pretty messy too! But I do have to admit that the Tucks would win me if we had a contest of "who had the messiest room"!
I have a connection on page 50. The book says that "The Foster women had made a fortress out of duty." My mom always tells me to make sure that I clean up. According to this book, that's what it seems like Wnnie's mother is doing.
I had a connection in the beginning of the 51st page. The quote was "The furniture was set about helter-skelter." My connection was that helter-skelter was one of my vocabulary words. It caught my attention as soon as I saw it.
I had a infrence and a question on the first page of Chapter ten. My question was what does indominitable mean? The infrence is that if abdominable means deserving disgust and dislike, than indominable means not deserving dislike or disgust.So that means nobody dislikes Winnie's mother and grandmother except Winnie.
I could really visualize the cotage and how it looked mostly because of the movie but also from my head
on the first page of chapter 10 i predicted that winnie was going to have a wind of difference coming up because i think that this family is going to be well preety strict.
boblee says i made a connection when mae and winnie are talking. they talked about how the boys like to fish. it reminds me of when i fish in minnesota.
I had a connection on page 51 and 52 about the Tuck's messy house. Sometimes my room gets very messy when I don't pick anything up.Sometimes I have to leap over my stuff to get to get to my bookcase!
at the bottom of page 51
it said there were evidences of maes sewing prodjects every where. i made a connection that i sew to(i plan to make mr.b a desk organizer)
how modern was their sewing machine?does she hand sew?
does she finish her prodjects ....my seswing teacher never does....she has a box labeled "laurens prodjects"all unfinished
what do women back then like to make?
in pages 51-53 when it talked about the messy house that the Tucks lived in I had a connection to our living room on christmas day with all the presants and wraping paper every where.
I visualized on page 53 when they described the kitchen. I vsualized it as what sort of Hagrids hut looked like in the Harry Potter movies. It was cozy but cluttered.
At the end of chapter 10 on page 55 I made a summary:In the beginning of the chapter Winnie starts to contrast her house to the Tucks. While hers is super clean their's is messy. After that Mae starts to explain their daily life like Miles going to town to get a short term job. After the boys come in fully dressed when Mae then informs them that dinner will start soon and hustles Winnie to the table.
i had a visualization on page 51.
it was where it said "and in a corner stood tucks forgotten shot gun."
i visualized a little dusty corner with a little gun just lying there.
I had a prediction that the music that Winnie herd last night was Mae's music box that she had taken with her. Her Grandma thought it was elves but she knew that it wasn't. I made a prediction. Page#35
I had a important star when it said" He landed plum on his head." they thought for sure that he broke his neck. Turns out he didn't even hurt himself at all. I put a impotant star because I think it's important because he landed on his head and didn't even hurt himself. I made a important star. Page#38
I had a connection that sometimes I feel really silly and run around like crazy. Sometimes I make more noise than anybody. Even more noise than my sibling. I made a connection. Page#45
I had a question on what rutted ment. I thought it ment old, dull, and almost dead, but know I know that it means a deep, narrow track made in the ground by wheels or by continious tracks. I made a question. page#47
I had a question on page 54 where it said, "Always moving around and never having any friends or anything." My question was in that sentence Mae seemed so sad because they didn't have any friends and it seemed like they weren't taking advantage of living forever or they weren't tring to atleast so I was wondering why they weren't. If I had that happen to me, I would take as much of it towords advantages instead of a problem!!! So that was my question that I made.
I had a vizulization when Mae was showing Winnie the stuff that the family makes to sell. I saw all of the toys lined up in the room with all of the different colors filling the room. I made a vizulization. Page#53
Visualization
Page 50
:The kitchen came first,with an open cabinet where dishes were stacked in perilous towers without the least regard for their varying dimensions.There was an enormous black stove, and a metal sink, and every surface, every wall, was piled and strewn and hung with everything amaginable....
I could just visualize their very un tidy kitchen that my mom would totally frak out at with all of the dirty dishes and the mouse.I could vizualize those few sentences Very well.
When the Tucks house was described I could really visualize the fairly messy house with all the activitys that Mae and Angus hadn't cleaned up yet because they had "forever". This is a really descriptive story.

While I was reading this book the folowing sentance produced a mental picture inside of my head. Under the pitiless double assault of her mother and grandmother, the cottage where she lived was alwas squecking clean, mopped and swept and scoured into limp submissions. I saw how the place is so clean that it is sparkaling.
chapter 10 page 51 line 2 I could see the cottage all piled up , strewn and hung it looked sortove hostile for some reason.
I could picture Miles and Jesse walking into their room soaking wet from fishing in the pond with all their clothing on. Puddles were forming at their feet.

in chapter 17miles takes winnie fishing i had a connection to this because my best friend at camp loves to fish so we went out together with our consuler in a row boat and she taught me how to fish! good times good time!

In chapter 21 when Winnie was roking in the chair that she got when she was young, I made a connection. I got a rocking chair when i was young and would rock in it when i had nothing else to do.
On page 104 in chapter 20, i had a question about what the gallows were. I thought they were some type of punishment. I then figured out that they were where people used to be hung.
On page 111 in chapter 22, i had a prediction that Mae would escape from the jailhouse with the help of Winnie, Jessie, Tuck and Miles. I knew that they would not leave her there and that it would be terrible if everyone found out the secret.
In chapter 23 on page 119, I had an inference when Winnie fell asleep that she would not wake up on time. I thought that she would miss the midnight meeting at the jailhouse. Luckily, I was wrong and she woke up five minutes before twelve.
In chapter 24, i had a visualization of what the gallows looked like when Winnie, Jessie, Tuck and Miles were going to get Mae out of jail. I thought that a pole was attached to a platform and some kind of knotted rope was attached to the pole.
In chapter 25 on page 132 i had a question why winne put the everlasting water on the toad instead of keeping it for herself. I wondered if she had made her decision not to drink it and then decided to get rid of it so she would never have to think about it again. Maybe she thought that she might be tempted to drink it at a later time in her life and did not want to deal with that.
