Based on the story of The Other Side of Truth, I do not understand why the Nigerian government is so cruel. “Every day we are robbed under our own noses. And it’s no use complaining to the police. Why? Because they are the robbers.” (Naidoo 26). People are very angry about their government. Why isn’t […]

Based on the story of The Other Side of Truth, I disagree with Uncle Tunde. He wants Sade and her brother to go to England with a Mrs. Bankole to meet their uncle. “ Her name is Mrs. Bankole… She has agreed to take you to your Uncle Dele” said Uncle Tunde (Naidoo 14). They […]

Based on the story of The Other Side of Truth, I agree with Uncle Tunde. The reason is because he cares a lot about Folarin (niece). She wants to write about Nigeria’s school system. Uncle Tunde supports her idea but does not want her to write in Nigeria. Her father wrote the truth about the […]

Based on the story of Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, I predict that something terrible happened to Johanna and her family. The reason is, her dad looked miserable. “Johanna senses that something dangerous…” (Pressler 11). She was in the kitchen eating breakfast. The telephone ranged and her dad picked it up He looked confused and felt […]

Pandemonium

Based on the story of Pandemonium, Lena should not live in the Wilds. The reason is because there is ill health in the Wilds. Everyone “breathes and sneezes on one another” (Oliver 59) and that is not good for health. She has to move from there because there is a food shortage. It is not […]

Based on the story of delirium, I do not understand why the government does not create a procedure that will cure people who are under eighteen without making them sick or kill. Since they believe love is a disease, they should cure it right away. Lena said “I would have it done tomorrow, if I […]

Delirium

April15

Based on the story of delirium, I do not recommend Lena to take the procedure to cure love. The reason I say this is because if she take the surgical cure for the delirium, she will never love anyone again. The government teaches that love is a disease and all people who are above eighteen […]

April2

Based on the story of Stolen, I predict that Gemma will find out who Ty is. The reason I said this is because Ty has been following her for six years and He knows her very well. He told Gemma that she “just haven’t remembered it yet”. She also isn’t sure where she saw him. […]

Based on the story of Stolen, I do not understand why this stranger is so kind to Gemma. He gave her her own room and he was not mean to her. The reason I said this is because many strangers do something bad to people. He was asking her “do you want some water?” (Christopher […]
