ToonDooo Isn't Working

Mr. G for some reason Toondoo isn't letting me open up my comics.

Problem

Hey Mr. G my Toondoo isn't working right now either, so I can't load it up. I don't know if I will be able to hand in the character page tomorrow.

Toondoo comic captions

Captions for Toondoo comic

1.) Marc was a twelve year old boy in France who lives in an orphanage. The director always beats him up, so he decided that he has had enough of it. He steals the director’s bike, money and a bag of food, and runs away.
2.) Paul, Rosie and their dad Mr. Clarke were at their home when a Nazi spy breaks in and tries to kill them. He wanted to steal some important documents from Mr. Clarke, but they killed the Nazi. They realized that they had to escape to England if they wanted to be safe.
3.) Marc is biking through a small town. His bike got stolen, so he got a ride with some French Troops.
4.) In Tours, Mr. Clarke got shot down form a German plane. While he was dying, he told his kids to find a man named Henderson, and give him the important documents.
5.) The French troops end up driving drunk, and Marc ends up in Paris, alone and scarred. He broke into an empty house, and it turns out that it was Charles Henderson’s. He later finds out that Charles Henderson is a spy.
6.) While wandering around the streets of Tours, Paul and Rosie find a young boy named Hugo. He lead them to a priests house in the countryside, where they decided to stay until the can reach Henderson.
7.) Herr Potente, a German spy, broke into Henderson’s house expecting to get information from Henderson, but instead saw Marc there. He tortured Marc because he thought that he would have information, but he didn’t. The phone rang, and it turned out that Paul and Rosie had found Henderson’s number. Herr Potente pretended to be Henderson on the phone, and decided to go down to Potente to fetch the kids and documents.
8.) Henderson came home, and he found Marc there. Marc tells him what happened, and Henderson realized that they had to get to the priests house before Herr Potente did.
9.) They arrived at the priest’s house, and they all met up. They drove down to the French border so that they could catch a boat to England.
10.) Since Marc didn’t have a passport, he was not allowed on the boat. Paul and Rosie went on the boat and Marc and Henderson stayed in France to try and find the British embassy so that Marc could get one.
11.) On the boat, Paul and Rosie started to get attacked by the German planes. They jumped into the water with life jackets, and the boat sinks. In the mix of all the confusion, Paul and Rosie got separated in the water.

I don't know if these are my final ones because I don't know if they are meant to be very detailed or not. I noticed that some people have big captions and some have small captions.

Discussion Director

Hey Mr. G sorry it's late but I worked hard and here it is...

1. Why do you think Henderson cared so much for Marc?

I think the reason Henderson cared so much for Marc is because he wanted a kid of his own. Marc is independent and a good kid. Henderson noticed this and helped Marc out when he had nowhere to go. At first I thought Henderson didn’t like marc and just wanted him to buzz off. Now I have realized that Henderson and marc have created a strong bond. If I were Marc I would feel very lost and confused. I ran away from my orphanage and I have nowhere to go. How would you feel if you were in that position? Then Henderson comes out of nowhere and lets marc come with him. This is very lucky for Marc. Henderson also said to marc that one day he would want a kid of his own but since he’s a spy it’s very hard for him. Marc and Henderson have been through a lot together and I hope that when they get through it, they will start a new life together.

2. Do you think Rosie will ever see Paul again?

I personally think that Rosie will see Paul again. It may be hard but Rosie is a smart girl and can find her way around places. On the contrary Rosie has been through a lot. I mean how would you feel if your dad just died, a good friend just died and you’re left on your own with nowhere to go? I know I wouldn’t know what to do. One time when I was really young I was skiing in whistler with my dad and then suddenly for a few minutes I couldn’t find him. I was very worried and I got this nervous feeling in my stomach. I know that Rosie’s situation is much worse but it’s the same idea and I can relate to Rosie.

3. How did you react when Hugo died?

I felt very surprised. It was heartbreaking to read that a silly mistake resulted in Hugo’s death. Since Rosie, Paul and Father Doran new that Herr Potente was coming to kidnap Rosie and Paul they were prepared to kill him in order to save themselves. Herr Potente was disguising himself as Henderson and Rosie and Paul knew this. Father Doran has his gun ready and they did manage to kill him. I was glad when they killed Potente because he was such a bad man and tortured Marc earlier on in the book. Although the consequence that came with killing Potente was the death of Hugo. When Hugo died no one could speak, everyone was too shocked. Who wouldn’t be? I feel really bad for Paul because he was just starting to get over the death of his father. Rosie being the older more mature one got over the death quicker. Paul on the other hand was shocked and it took him much longer to get over it.

4. What do you think would have been different if Paul, Rosie, Marc and Henderson all stayed together?

Firstly, I think Rosie and Paul would have felt much safer with Henderson and Marc by their side. Henderson is a very smart man who always has a plan up his sleeve and Marc is a good help. Henderson has proved that he can protect Marc very well and cares very much for kids. When Marc and Henderson left Paul and Rosie on the boat to England, that’s when everything changed. The boat was bombed by Germans and crashed. If Henderson and Marc were there I think that they would have had a better chance of staying together. Henderson has been in many challenging situations and he knows what he’s doing. If I were Paul or Rosie, I would have felt much more safe with and adult with me. Kids don’t have that much knowledge of what to do in those kinds of situations and Henderson, being an adult, does. I hope Marc and Henderson meet up with Paul and Rosie sooner or later to help them out.

Discussion Director Questions

Mr. Gelmon I was not here to hand in my questions and answers today, so here they are:

Discussion Director Questions By Jonah 7B
1. Why does Pi think animals should live in a zoo?

Pi thinks animals should live in a zoo because he grew up in a zoo and sees how much good care the zoo animals get. He thinks it is better because there are no predators,
get three square meals a day while in the wild you might only get one meal a week and they get lots of health care.

2. How come Pi parents are so against him being three different religions?

They want him to be Hindu and only Hindu. He is born a Hindu and will stay Hindu. They do no think he should be Hindu, Christian and Islam.

3. Why were the Japanese men throwing Pi off the ship?

They wanted to use Pi as bate. If they fed him to Richard, then Richard would not eat them.

4. How do you think Pi feels about the zoo closing down forever?

He grew up in the zoo for his whole life and to lose the zoo it is like losing family. He is devastated. Pi has an amazing connection with the animals and that connection is broken.

5. Do you think Pi grew up in poverty?

I think Pi grew up in a middle class area but as he got older he got poorer so he ended up in poverty in the future.

I might not be here at school tomorrow so here is my literary luminary and I will email it to you just in case:

Literary Luminary By Jonah
1. Page 98
Paragraph 2

I picked this passage because I can understand and connect in what Pi is saying on why animals are like humans. They have a lot of paper work and stuff when they have to move from zoo to zoo. It is just like a person moving to a new house or place. I have lived in 3 different homes so far in my lifetime. It takes so long to move because of all our stuff like furniture electronics and other things. You need to have the house inspected and fix up thing sometimes. Moving is not easy but sometimes you just have to do it.


2. Page 107
Paragraph 1

I picked this passage because it sounds like the very sad event of Titanic. When the boat is sinking in the book describes like how Titanic sunk. The boat size in Life Of Pi is just about smaller but it is still big because of all the animals it carries. The book says “Everything was screaming: the sea, the wind, my heart.” That must be the way the people on Titanic and Pi were thinking. I could never be as brave as Pi because knowing I might die and he was so relaxed

3. Page 100
Paragraph 1

I picked this passage because it is funny and I can connect because Pi is from India moving to Canada and he says “were Winnipeggers at heart”. I am like Pi because I lived in Richmond my whole life but most of activities are in Vancouver like school, sports and drums. I feel like a Vancouver at heart.

4. Page 110
Paragraph 3

I can connect to this paragraph because I have memories from six years ago where I went on a cruise and went to lots of places that I will remember. Pi was so thankful to be seeing all the places. Pi sees everything in observation like me.

Literary Luminary for “Awake and Dreaming”
By Aviva Glassman 7A

Passage #1: “But instead of being angry Sharon broke into sobs.”
Page: 161
Paragraph: 6
Why I chose this passage: This passage was one of the most saddening lines for me in the whole book so far. Theo expects every parent to hit, shout and slap when she had done something wrong. This upset very much since Theo should not have been living like this with Rae. I feel the way that Rae was treating Theo was despicable. While Theo was living with the Kaldors a similar event happened when the parents did not hit and slap her after Anna and Theo went biking for too long. Now that Theo has been exposed to much more safe and enjoyable life styles, I feel that Theo will never want to go back to live with Rae.

Passage #2: “How could you lie to me? I thought we were friends!”
Page: 161
Paragraph: 6
Why I chose this passage: This passage really set a mood in my mind. From the shyness of Theo and her un-enthusiastic attitude towards Sharon, I was surprised to know that Sharon really liked her and considered her as a friend. I feel that Theo should have taken this to heart a little more and showed Sharon that she truly did appreciate her love. If I put my self in Theo’s shoes, I would reciprocate much more and show her love for Sharon, just like Sharon is showing it for her.

Passage #3: “Had she lived with them? Of course she had! How else could she know them so well? But magic time seemed more and more distant as the afternoon went on.”
Page: 170
Paragraph: 2
Why I chose this passage: In my opinion, this passage was the Turning point of Theo’s excitement to seeing the Kaldors again. I am sure it was enough for Theo for the kaldors not only to recognize her, but they were not the family she lived with. They did not get along and bickered with each other constantly. Theo’s little heart must have been crushed at seeing that they were not as flawless as she thought they were.

Passage #4: Lisbeth leant against Theo as Anna opened the rest o her presents. “Sometimes I feel as if we’ve known you for a long time,” she whispered. You have thought Theo sadly. She could never tell them that now.
Page: 181
Paragraphs: 5-6
Why I chose this passage: I decided to choose this passage because I felt that Theo handled the situation very maturely. If I was in that situation, I would have blurted everything out and told them all about her life in there home that they seemed to not know about. I admire Theo for her always being cautious towards what she is saying. She filters her words and makes sure everything she says is appropriate, especially in this situation.
