I have only read one and a half more chapters since the last blog so I dont now that much more. When they are in the plane they all were scared about being in the air. I dont ever feel scared in an airplane. Do you guys feel scared in airplanes? Also do you guys get seasick? I dont but I probobly would get seasick if I had to sleep in those crouded areas.
Eddy has been through a lot after the bombing. He hasn't seen his parent for a long time, and he's been traveling non stop. I wonder what his tasks will be on the island. Will he have to fight on the island, or did they just put them there in case of betrayal?
In the book so far I think Sweet has been very racist. I would definitely not want to be treated like that if I was I would probably quit the army.I also think it is very racist that they chose part of the US army to train dogs. So they could attack the Japanese and know what they smell like. Dont you think they should have just use captives?I wonder if Eddy is ever going to go to Europe to help his country fight against Hitler.It was also very brave of Eddy to go across the ocean and then to get in a train and plane.
I defenitelt think Sweet is way too racist. What he says is very cruel. Do you guys like the book so far, or not. I really like it. It shows how tough it must have been for some soldiers. I wonder what Eddy's family is doing during the war.

Example Response
John Smith: Wow! I am so interested in this book. Could you imagine being orphaned at our age and having to be able to survive on our own? Crispin has no other relatives to take him in, and it sounds like he is not very accepted in his village. I wonder why John Aycliff is after him? Life was so different during this time period. People could be killed for doing what we consider very minor things. Life sure was difficult. I am curious to know what you guys think about this book. Do you think Crispin will stay in Stromford or run away? How will he escape John Aycliff?
BLOG #3 DISCUSSION IDEAS
Discuss the injustices that occur in your book(s). Provide specific examples and your reaction.
Knowing what we do now about the Holocaust and the murder of over 6,000,000 Jewish people, how do you feel knowing that there are genocides still going on today? It is estimated that anywhere between 200,000- 400,000 civilians have been killed in Darfur since 2003. What does this say about our civilization that events like this still occur? What can we do to help prevent this type of situation from occurring?
