The+Butterfly+825+conversation

Mya Lighty 3-9-09 My word is fear because the two little girls were probally feared the nazi soliders,and what they would do the to the man in the candy store i also think that everytime monique saw the Nazi soldiers she feared what they could do to her and her friend.

I think that ne-ne word confused is a great word to use for the story butterfly.Because there were alot of situations including confusion like the situation with the ghost and many other situations.

my word was confused because where did the ghost come from and why does it want to be with her? What is so speacial that the ghost wants to be with her?

Comment: Well I don't think it was an actual ghost it could be her imagination or something else. I kind of thought that it might have been a homeless child hiding out in their house. But that doesnt make any sense -Giovanna Ochoa

Comment: I think the ghost is suppose to be a symbol of what the girl is feeling inside or what the girl might feel in the future. I think it's the authors way of telling the readers more about the main character Monique. - Victoria Blum

The first word that came to my mind was pain. When the Nazi solider started kicking the candy store manager I felt pain. For him. I felt bad for him because as far as I know he didn't do anything I was able to fill his pain and fear.

Felice Yang: (03.09.2009) My word was "fearful". I felt terrified for both the candy store owner and the girl. If I were in the girl's shoes, seeing the old man being abused and dragged away for no reason at all made me fell afraid for him. Afraid for the events that might occur to him. I would also feel horrified for my own life because there was this feeling that the same thing that happened to the old man might happen to me.

I agree with Giovanna on choosing the word "pain". I think it also describes the scene

My word was fear, i thought that every time that Monique would stare at the Nazi a sense of fear would over power her. Monique knows that this can happen to her too, and she is probably hoping it won't. I also think that she was scared for the guy they were putting in the truck. She was terrified and was praying they wouldn't take a glance at her and drag her back. While I listened to the story it got me angry becasue i know this isn't fair and it's so sad that this girl might even not be able to go to school because of this war. I agree with Felice, we both have the same word. I liked the oart when she says that she was afraid for the events that might occur to him. - Valentina Leto 3/9/09 825

nanyou my word was wow. i was surprised that in one seconed the candy guy was all happy and cheerful while giving the girls candy. then a few seconds later he was getting hit and kicked by the nazis. it surprised me because he changed from being happy to not beng happy so quickly.

Comment: I agree with you nanyou because it was very random the mood was all happy then it was like "wow what just happend?" - - Victoria Blum

alvin ruan My word is for the little girl. i think she is depress because the guy was always so nice to her and one day a nazi attacked him. the book was also full of sadiness cause it was during the WWII. everyone was scared of the nazi cause they attacked jewish people and looked what happen to the candy man. he got kicked and maybe split oout blood cause of the hard kick

Comment: I agree with you alvin because she seems depressed and the way you wrote what the book was about. - Jeff Fong

My word was shocked. It was my word because when the candy guy giving people candy and out of no where the nazis started kicking those kids. When they got hit they got shocked and it turned realy unpleasent.

My word was "angry". It was angry because the nazis had no reason to hurt the candy dude he didn't do anything to them in fact it was the opposite he was only giving candy to the kids. I think everythong was messed up back then. I think this because the only reason they would hit you, humiliate you, and hurt you in any way was because you were different, because you were jewish. I bet they wouldn't like it if people started killing their kind just because they were nazis.

Michael Plaja

My word is fear because right now this girl knows something is going to happen but she can't control it. She is very scared she just saw a ghost in her room. That must have been mind boggling. I agree with Nene because that ghost just appeaered out of nowhere. Out of all the people why did it go to visit her.

Jane Wu

My word was scared because out of no where one of her friend was just tackled down and brought into a truck. That would be scary. The lil girl doesnt know whats going on or what is going to happen to her. If a friend was just beaten and then carried by unknown strangers into some place, i would be scared too. I agree with michael the ghost appears out of no where.
