Ok lets try read aloud a little bit different. We are going to have a live interactive blog session as the read aloud is going on:
share your thoughts. It can be a prediction, making a connection, describing an image in your mind, or even a question.
I will read at a slower pace and this is similar to the task we attempted with John Brown lecture but the internet cause havoc.
ok lets begin.
United We Stand Chapter 10:
The reason that eric walters describes new york for those of you that dont know is because new york and the area near manhattan is kind of shaped like a loop near the water.
ReplyDeleteI think that their going to get into Ground Zero, because the density of the people were decreasing whilst they were going towards the location where they could get in, so that looked promising to me.
ReplyDeleteI think Will and James are thinking that they might be in a nightmare because of their observation of the situation of the towers. Paper flying and the remains of the buildings.
ReplyDeleteThe image that I see when will's monolouge talks about the outline of the destoryed towers is the scenes in the world trade center movie.
ReplyDeleteI think that the parts that Will was coughing up were humans.Crushed human dust.The thick air is the grinded human dust that is believed to be garbage.
ReplyDeleteI think they are going to get into ground zero, but they aren't old enough, how are they going to get in.
ReplyDeletei wonder if James would try and dig his father out of the rubble if he found or heard his father from the remains of the towers
ReplyDeletewhen I hear thoughts on the world trade center I always think of how hard it must have been for all those who were cleaning up and for how long and now I think of the smell and scenes they had to endure.
ReplyDeletei agree with talha, i think they will get into ground zero.
ReplyDeleteJames sounded confident because i think he was confident he will find his father, in ground zero.
ReplyDeleteYEAH I AGREE WITH YOU zak newyork city is all sorrrunded with water that also why it has so many glorious brigdes.
ReplyDeletethere was more smoke, smash part of the building that was incinerated and crushed by the force of gravity. Also the parts of the buildings that have been crushed is as if the place had been blown up by a bomb. The officers that are guarding the barricades are wearing gas mask some of them. The car that was crushed was on fire from what I imagine.
ReplyDeleteThe image of the building that was still standing reminds me of a structure in "Eldest", the book I am reading. It is an ancient structure which appears as a mountain, which the locals worship its unholyness. So whenever I think of the remains of the building, I feel like its an unholy sight.
ReplyDeleteJames might be getting angryer because of the police and how he found out that the only remains were just rubble
ReplyDeleteI think Will is realizing what he went through before .. and i think James is going to see that ground zero is different from what he saw on tv because it becomes more realistic.
ReplyDeleteWhy would Will and James try to get into
ReplyDeleteground 0, even if they were trying to find James father why would they go into ground 0 even when they know its a resricted sight the only thing theyll find is smoke 2 crushed buldings and trouble.
I agree with you el presidente because when ever i think about the world trade centre more of the twin towers i always see a glimpse of people who are cleaning up the mess and etc.
ReplyDelete@gurinder If I were in wills position I would believe it would be best to not think about what he was inhaling but I think you are right.
ReplyDeletethe image that i saw was soliders standing at every bus stop every corner and a glommy sight with dust almost like a gost town with crushed buildings with no one around except the soliders that were standing guard and horrible smells.
ReplyDeleteI think that the person that came out of the car, was the President of the United States
ReplyDeletei think will and james will proably get through , but through lying because they said they were 18 and i think thats geeoge bush
ReplyDeletei still think being their is a bad idea.going their was just more dangers and their mothers would be more worryed if they were there.what if will and james would get in trouble with the officers
ReplyDelete@amrit because wants to do something to help and wants to see the site in person.
ReplyDeleteI think the man is a friend of John,and he survived.
ReplyDeleteI think the officer is the man will and his father meet in the we all fall down on the train.
ReplyDeleteI agree with talwinder (too young). While Mr.cheney was reading the chapter about Will coughing i was thinking about the dust in the air and the mess in the city. I predict that James and Will will try and look for James fathr since they havnt announced that he was found. Also i imagine that all the people that were walking around had face masks on ( protection for their nose) so that they wouldnt be coughing like Will did.
ReplyDeleteI predict that when James saw those lost posters that people were holding ,the first thought that came to me was James felt more determind to go look for his father, but Will's coughmakes me think a little,maybe Will's cough is that bad so they moght even go home because of him and probably come back another day.
ReplyDeleteI think will and james go to ground zero and the police men won't let them in and then they sneak in some how and try looking for james dad and I think they find james dad then they tell someone to get his dad out or that guy in the suit might know james dad and lets them in so they could help them find thier dad.
ReplyDelete@ venessa I think that even if will starts coughing agin they would still keep moving on because will really wants to help find james dad or aleast there for him and if his cough does get worse like that nurse said they would probly send james in a ambulance and call will's mom because james is determent to find his dad.
ReplyDelete@ usman but what if Will feels better or he brings something to block off th dust,there is always a possiblility,and usman what if the police let them in because James said that he needs to find his dad??
ReplyDeleteI know that is what i am saying because they are determined to find james dad because befaore you said they might have to go home because of wills cough.
ReplyDeleteI predict that he will find his father and that the man in the vechile is a friend of james father and he knows james is not who he say he is but he lets him in but keeps his eye on him so he does not get in touble.i also think that james and wills mom is goign to find out that they are at ground zero and go to ground zero to find james and will.
ReplyDeleteusman i said that the are determined but the way Will is coughing they might leave then come back to find James dad that is what im trying to tell you but it seems like you dont get it.
ReplyDeleteya steph i agree with your idea because their moms might be wondering they are,and james's mom might be angry because she didn't want to that james's dad might be dead.
ReplyDelete@ steph I agree with you because the last time will and james mom called they kinda noticed that something was wrong so I think the next time they call they are going to find they are not on the kind of walk they think they are on.
ReplyDelete@vanessa thats a good prediction but remember when will started to cough alot and he needed to drink water i think that he might start to and this time it would be worst and they might call his mom or the parmedics but thats what it think.
ReplyDelete@ steph you are right about if will starts coughing really bad agin they might have to go home but that does not mean james is going home because last time when will started coughing and will almost hah to go home james wasn't going to go home he told will he is going alone. so if his cough gets bad agin will might have to go home but that does not mean james going to go home.
ReplyDeleteThats why i said that they might leave and he might stop coughing from drinking the water,but if they ever come back again will might bring something to cover his nose this time.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Vanessa, god knows that will is coughing, probably the ashes of people's death in the north and south tower, or the towers itself, who knows but when will drinks the water i think he Will get better and then Will and James will get head gear and protection so they wont get any infections and start looking and hoping they will find James father, Mr.Bennet.
ReplyDelete@ Talwinder what if will starts to cough agin he might have to go home because like that nurse said if his cough gets bad agin they should go find a paramidic so they might have to go home and if it gets really bad james might have to come home with will because he is the only one there to help him if something happens
ReplyDelete@ Usman i think Wills coughing will get better and i agree with you how James will have to go home and take care of him and take him to parametic but i think Will is strong enough and fight the coughing to find Mr.Bennet.
ReplyDeletethank you talwinder for proving my point!
ReplyDelete@ usman will could bring water with him the next time and something to cover his nose,and also the paramedic might not even be there the next time,so Will can be strong enough to face the cough and be also smart enough to bring some water as well.
ReplyDeleteyeah, i agree with vanessa, will could bring water and james was even telling will to go home but he didnt ,and i think the man is george bush because will reconzines him form somewhere and even the officers soluted him
ReplyDelete@talwinder and vanessa I agree will was there and was exposided to more dust then james but if his cough were to start it might get worst then before.If he does get worst he might need to go back to the hospital again and with all the remains from both of the fallen towers.
ReplyDelete@ janat i agree with you, your comment makes sense it is like the unthinkable.
ReplyDelete@ Vanessa your welcome.
ReplyDelete@ Stephanie yeah that is what me and Vanessa were saying, but Usman doesn't agree.
exactly thats my point in all of this.
ReplyDeleteFinally the Blog works for me been checking all weekend it didnt work but i think will was determined to stick with james where ever he went and this is like in the twin towers movie(forgot the name) how Will wouldnt pass on with out John and that he would always stick by john whenever he can at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI think this quote resembles Will the most:
ReplyDeleteFriendship comes before sickness.
Because even if Wills coughing hes determined to stick with will till he gets back home and if hes leaving NYC hes leaving with john
