**Question 1: Some of the things i think Paul can see but his parents can't are his brother, Erik, doing things that Erik wouldn't d in front of their parents like sneaking off late at night and Erik being mean and saying mean things about Paul. I also think that Paul can see things that no one can remember or things that might not have ever happened but he thought that they did.I think some of the things Paul will see later in the novel are the muck fire, more bad things that Erik does, and possibley more things that people around don't take the time to look at. Write back soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**

**sincerly, PlUM**

Plum, I agree with you 100% on the fact Paul can “see” what Eric is doing behind his parents back. Also, maybe you’re right about the fact Paul can remember things about something that happened earlier in his life… but then again, how would have Eric known that Paul was blinded by an eclipse? Like you said, Paul might see a really dangerous muck fire at one point, or even catch Eric in the act of doing something bad like sneaking out, or even what will happen further on in Tangerine. Write back soon! :) :P~Blackberry

**Question 2: What were your initial thoughts about Paul not being able to play soccer? Should Paul fight the school's decision? Also, what should be done about the "lightning problem"? Should practices be changed to another time? Remember to respond to your partner's answer as well as include your own.**

**Heyy blackberry! i think you bring up a good point about erik knowing that an eclipse is what blinded paul! i mean where do you think he came up with that story from? i also find it REALLY unfair that paul was kicked off the soccer team! i really, really, really, am getting annoyed with the fact that tangarine middle school keeps bringing pauls eyesight into everything and to be honest from what i hear he's a really good soccer player...wow i've used really alot hehehehe:) anywho i think that paul should fight the schools desicion about the soccer situation because he deserves to be on that team, he just can't give up on it! what they should do but the lightning thing is cover the goalpost with some kind of material that way if lightning hits no one will get hurt. write back soon!**

**sincerly,**

**PLUM!**

Hey-o Plum :P! I Super duper agree with you about the fact that it’s unfair that Paul can’t play soccer because of his condition. I’m a goalie, and personally find it offensive that he can’t play just because he’s legally blind WITHOUT his glasses! I mean, he only can’t play if he couldn’t see at all!! It’s disappointing to know a coach would do that to a kid. I would definitely think that he’s going to fight back against the school though. I know I would, hehehe :P Umm…as for the lightning issue…maybe it would be smart to have practice earlier. And I think your suggestion is good too J maybe they could use one of those indoor areas that have those giant plastic bubbles around it……then again, how would they get one?!.....i dunno, but it would be helpful :D

Write back soon!!! :D ~ Blackberry

== GREETINGS, SPECIAL AGENTS. SCHMORLANDO HERE. YOU’RE DOING A GREAT JOB DISCUSSING THE ISSUES IN THE NOVEL WITH EACH OTHER. ONE QUESTION—DO YOU THINK PAUL SHOULD HAVE FOUGHT HARDER TO STAY ON THE TEAM? IF SO, WHY DO YOU THINK HE DIDN'T? GOT TO GO. I’M CATCHING A RED EYE BACK TO L.A. FOR MY LATEST MOVIE, I MEAN, JOB…  **If you were the principal at Lake Windsor Middle School, how would you handle the 'sinkhole situation'? What would you do with all of the 7th and 8th graders without classrooms ** == ** DO YOU THINK PAUL SHOULD HAVE FOUGHT HARDER TO STAY ON THE TEAM? IF SO, WHY DO YOU THINK HE DIDN'T? **

** Heyy blackberry plum here, let’s see what our next question is! Hmmmmm… if I was the pricipal at lake windor middle school, how would I handle the sinkhole situation.? I would call a meeting first off to see what the parents think about the situation, then for a couple days I might hold classes in the hallways, gym, teachers lounge, main office any nook and cranny of that school! I would also team up with the principal at tangarine highschool to see if we could possibly use maybe their courtyard or any extra space they have availible. Also to save space I might have science class held outside because science consists of nature or that could be a unit they could study. To anwser schmorlandos question I would Paul should have fought harder to stay on the team and I think he didn’t because maybe he feels like he doesn’t have a say in it any way. Plus maybe he didn’t have it in him. Byee for now! ** ** Sincerely, ** ** PLUM! ** ** P.S HI SCHMOLRANDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ** Hi plum! I’m glad that you wrote back, and as for the question, if I where the principle of lake Windsor downs middle school, I would have postponed the days until they start school a lot farther back, well… mostly because there is a giant hole in the middle of school property! I personally think its just plain __DUMB__ for a person to send kids back to school right when there is a catastrophe at their doorstep. If I was a student there, I would probably have gotten too curious, stood on the edge... and fallen into the giant hole…..then again…wait..Yeah:P As for all of the students, maybe I would send some of them to tangerine middle, even if the kids there aren’t the best. As long as they wouldn’t go near the sinkhole, I’d relocate them to as many comfy places as I could. As for Paul and the soccer team, if I were as dedicated as him, I would have fought harder to be able to stay on the team. Its upsetting to know a person would kick a kid off just because he was visually impaired, especially if he could SEE with his glassed!

Bye, write back next time!!! Blackberry PS; Hey Schmorlando! My English teacher says you’re awesome!!! :D﻿ __Have fun in LA!!!__ **Question 3: Paul seems to love his new team. What do you think is going to happen when the portables are rebuilt at Lake Windsor Middle School and he has to return home? ** **Hey blackberry! Ok so the what I think is going to happen when the portables are rebuilt and paul has to go back is I think he is going to be upset because he has made so many new friends and now to leave them behind will be hard for him and he’ll have to go back to lake windsor middle school and play on that soccer team only thing is he won’t be allowed because that coach had actually gotten the iep, I think he is going to end up staying there because he likes the school, the people who go there, and is blown away by their soccer team and how amazing and dedicated they are to it! And by the way I totally agree with what you said last time! Please write back soon I can’t wait to meet you!!!!!!!!!!!!! ** **Sincerely, ** **<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">PLUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **

<span style="color: #020250; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Hi again Plum! I definitely think Paul will be upset when the portables are rebuilt. But, like you said, he might end up staying at Tangerine Middle School. He’s already made so many new friends there, plus he found out Joey isn’t really what he thought he was. I hope he won’t need to go back; it would ruin his whole time there. Well, then again he could still hang out with Tino and the others outside of school. But still, like you said, if he somehow does end up staying at Lake Windsor Downs Middle School, he won’t be able to play soccer because their coach already has his IEP forms. I’m excited to meet you too and hope you’ll write back soon :D!!!

<span style="color: #020250; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Sincerely, <span style="color: #020250; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Blackberry :P

**<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Hey blackberry! **** Hows it going?????????????????? So I’m anwsering to your last response and about joey I was kinda shocked he was not what paul thought he was he was kinda mean in a way. And also now that the soccer season is over I wonder if paul will still hang out with tino and avictor and all those guys. Also, it seems to be that eriks behavior is become worse and worse I just wish paul would tell someone already! Now I’m going to talk about the project we have to do! So we have to decide who is going to be the real life middle schooler and a person that goes to tangarine middle school I think sorry im kinda confused on what we have to do. We’ll talk about this more when you write back! Please do soon! Still cant wait to meet you and share all your ideas for the project cant wait to hear them! Sincerely ** ** PLUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ** <span style="color: #020250; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; marginbottom: 10pt; marginleft: 0in; marginright: 0in; margintop: 0in;">Hey, it’s me again!!!...well…no one else would really answer to our conversation :) Hahaha, ok, anyways, I know how you feel about the project. I’m completely confused too. But I think there’s gonna be a chart we can write onto here to write it out on. And to decide on who will be who in the poem, I really don’t care which I would be. Really, if you want to be the Tangerine kid or Lake Windsor Downs kid, just tell me the next time you write. So, yeah, we’ll know soon enough :) But yeah, I’m thinking pretty much the same things you are, about Erik and Paul’s situations. Erik is starting to be a real jerk though. Who would punch a kid younger than you, especially one who was your brother’s friend?! Even though Eric punched him, hopefully Tino won’t blame Paul for it. It would really stink for him to lose any more friends…then again I’m not sure Joey was really ever considered a “friend” to Paul. But yeah, Paul has a lot going on in his life right now. A LOT. <span style="color: #020250; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; marginbottom: 10pt; marginleft: 0in; marginright: 0in; margintop: 0in;">Hope to meet you soon!

Anyway, I now understand what we have to do for the poem yay! Hahahaha I really took what schmorlando said into consideration. I would like to know what you think we should do four the poem….. Should we stick to the freeze or the soccer? I think that we should do what ever one we can get the most information out of, in this case soccer. But I still would like to hear your opinion. I’ll add ideas to the chart for soccer and for the freeze until I get your opinion on this! Write back soon only a couple more weeks till we meet! Sincerely, PLUM!

<span style="color: #020250; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Hi Plum, hi schmorlando! I’m glad you know how to use the poem now J it will be a lot easier now. And as for the topic, yeah, I would stick to soccer. The freeze may have been interesting, but the soccer game was a little more descriptive. Thanks for taking note on the fact that we need ideas J Hmmmm…maybe something about how they won or played? I dunno, let’s just work on this and see how it goes. I can’t wait until we get to meet each other!
