1. I think he wants to tell us what happened during his childhood maybe like what happened to his family and friends or what happened to him.

1. I think that the author bounces between Tommo as a young boy and him much older because Tommo wants to remember his past.
ReplyDelete2. The titles are at night time, because Tommo is remembering his childhood at night time.
3. Tommo feels betrayed because he likes Molly, but Charlie is meeting her in a private place so Tommo does not like it.
4.I think Big Joe is at the Big House because the Colonel killed Bertha with his gun, so Big Joe might what to talk to the Colonel about it.

1.I think that the reason why the author keeps bouncing in Between Tommo as a man and Tommo growing up because most of his memories are important and it tells the story of him growing up.
ReplyDelete2.I think that every chapter is time because probably the author is making time of him growing up.
3. Tommo feels betrayed that Molly and Charlie are meeting up with each other because Charlie likes Molly and he wants Molly to himself so Tommo doesn’t ruin it.
4.I think that Big Joe commit suicide because he wanted to be with Bertha because Bertha liked him the most so he wanted to go to heaven.
Jake
1. I think the author bounces between Tommo as a young boy and an older boy. The Author does this because he is remembering the times when he was young kid, and he did not want to go to sleep because he wants to saver the moments.
ReplyDelete2. I think if you are reading it they want you to know that it is day or night and then is the book does not tell you if it is day, or night so that is why they do that.
3. I think Tommo feels betrayed because they were not telling Tommo that meeting each other so Tommo feels betrayed because his dig brother was not telling him that they were meeting.
4. I think big Joe is in the church tower at the very top of the tower. Or I think he killed himself because he wants to be with bertha and his dad in heaven. They think he might be in the church tower because molly said that he thought that was heaven there.

Some great ideas, Dawson. I really like your last answer telling that you think Big Joe is in the Church.
Deletegreat idea Dawson :)
Deletejoe is in the church, we finished the book:]{and chairly dies}
Delete1 I think that the author bounces between his past and then his life at the moment because he is trying to remember his past before he goes to war.
ReplyDelete2 At ten past twelve the book begins a new chapter. I think that those times are counting down to the next day when he has to go to war so each chapter he is remembering a different part of his life that fits into the story.
3 I think that Tommo feels betrayed that Charlie and molly were meeting in private because he liked molly and thought molly liked him and he trusted his brother and thought that if he and molly were doing something like that his brother would tell him.
4 I think that big Joe is on the top of the church tower. The evidence I have for this is when they had checked all the other places they could think of and molly said: “did you check the top of the church tower? That’s where he thinks heaven is. He probably wants to be with Bertha.”

1. I think the author writes about Tommo as a kid and Tommo all grown up because he wants the reader to know what Tommo was like as a kid and an adult, not just one or the other.
ReplyDelete2. I think all the chapter titles are times because maybe when you are reading the book, they want you to know the times to see if he is writing in the day or night.
3. I think Tommo feels betrayed because he loves Molly, and he feels sad because Molly loves Charlie, not him.
4. I think that Big Joe might have killed himself to be up in heaven with Bertha and his father, or he is up at the top of the church tower, because that is where he thinks heaven is.
Ella
1. I think that the author changes between Tommo as a young boy and Tommo older because he wants you to keep reading to find out how Tommo older relates to the book.
ReplyDelete2. I think all the chapter names are times because the author wants you to know what time it is and you to realize if its night or day and to make you feel as though you are with Tommo.
3. Tommo feels betrayed by Charlie and Molly because he was left out when they were talking and they were communicating without telling Tommo. He also felt betrayed because Charlie wasn’t really listening to what Tommo was saying anymore.
4. I think Big Joe is in heaven because Joe wanted to be with Bertha and his father who are dead in believed to be in heaven
Rylan
1. I think the author is bouncing between memories because maybe he wants it to be more exciting of him an adult remembering his childhood memories.
ReplyDelete2. I think the titles are times because Tommo woke up in war and he hit his head but survived the war but he wants to try to remember who he is and what his childhood was like and, the time is him remembering.
3. Tommo feels betrayed because he really liked Molly and now Charlie is dating Molly and Tommo wanted to date Molly and Charlie knew.
4. I believe that big Joe killed himself to be with his creatures, Bertha and his father.

1.I think the reason why the author bounces between Tommo as a young man and Tommo's memories of growing up because he is in some kind of war (by looking at the picture on the blog), and he is in the war and he is trying to remember all through his childhood from how he started as a young boy, then growing up until the how he joined in the war (I think).
ReplyDelete2.I think the chapter name is written like that because in the beginning he said that tonight (=the night Tommo’s spending in the book) has to be the longest night so that he could remember everything, so I think it’s the time every time when he’s writing a new chapter.
3.He is probably feeling “betrayed” because Tommo really likes Molly, but Charlie and Molly really like each other and they usually are a threesome and they hang out together, but this time Charlie and Molly didn’t invite Tommo.
4.I think Big Joe is on the top of the church because in book, Molly said that Big Joe told her that he wanted to be with Bertha and his dad, and that he was pointing toward the top of the church.
Faith
1. I think the author does that because he wants you to know about his past so you will understand what’s going on at all times. So like if Tommo was said about something that’s happened in his past you would understand what’s going on.
ReplyDelete2. I think he does that because then you are able to tell what time it is in that whole chapter and the bad things that might be on the way from the war.
3. Tommo feels ‘betrayed’ by Charlie and Molly meeting with each other without telling him because Tommo was good friends with molly and he felt betrayed because Charlie never told him.
4. I think big Joe killed himself because he wanted to be with his father up in heaven.

Delete1. He bounces between Tommo as a young man and Tommo's memories of growing up because he is flashing back to the days when he goes to school.

3. Tommo feel ‘betrayed’ by Charlie and Molly meeting with each other without telling him because Tommo wanted to so Molly too.
4. Where is Big Joe? I think Big Joe is where Bertha died in the forest by the shake.

The author bounces between Tommo as a young man and Tommo's memories of growing up because I think tommo is in the war and he is about to go out and fight so he wants to remember his childhood.

Tommo feel ‘betrayed’ by Charlie and Molly meeting with each other without telling him because he love molly. Big Joe climb up to the top of the church tower because he wanted to be with bertha and his dad.

1. I think the author bounces between Tommo as a young man and Tommo's memories of growing up because Tommo wants to bring back his childhood memories and remember all his friends and adventures they had.
ReplyDelete2. I think all the chapter titles are times: Nearly Quarter Past Eleven, Ten to Midnight, Twenty-four Minutes Past Twelve because the older Tommo is telling his childhood at night time.
3. I think Tommo feel ‘betrayed’ by Charlie and Molly meeting with each other without telling him because he thought that they were never going to leave each other but Charlie just didn’t want tommo to know.

1. I think the author is jumping from Tommo as a boy to him being older because they want the readers to have both minds of the character.
ReplyDelete2. I think that the chapter titles are all the same because the author wants you to now the time of the chapter in the place.
3. Tommo feels betrayed by Charlie and Molly meeting with each other because Charlie did not tell Tommo.
4. I think big Joe went up to the church tower because he wanted to go to haven with his dad and the dog.

1. 1.I think the author bounces between Tommo as a young man and Tommo’s memories to give you an idea of what Tommo’s life and childhood or back round was like.
ReplyDelete2. 2.I think it’s showing how time is continuing for Tommo with the titles of the chapters.
3. 3.Tommo feels “betrayed” when Molly and Charlie meet together without telling Tommo because I think he feels left out or alone.
4. 4.Big Joe climbed up to the top of the church tower to kill himself to see his dad in heaven.
~Carter
1. I think the author would bounce between Tommo as a young man and Tommo’s memory’s to keep the readers reading.
ReplyDelete2. I think that the author uses times like twenty four past twelve and ten to eleven to show the time in the story and so you know when a new day begins.
3. I think Tommo feel ‘betrayed’ by Charlie and Molly meeting with each other without telling him because at the beginning it was just the three of them. Also because Tommo likes Molly.
4. I think Big Joe climbed up to the top of the church tower to be with Bertha and their dad.

1. Captain Willkie is different from sergeant Hanley because Captain Willkie is nicer and gives the soldiers more confidence. Sergeant Hanley is tougher with the soldiers and gives more grief.
ReplyDelete2. War is going well for the soldiers because none of them have died yet and there are no sad moments but Tommo is still thinking about molly.
3. The trenches were wet and cold and poorly dug they were muddy and filthy with dirt and bugs.
4. Once I was at a garage sale and there were a lot of bald men in grey shirts and my dad was also bald and was wearing a grey shirt so I looked at this man and he was holding something my dad would like so I walked up to him and I said dad I want this toy! And he said hello. I’m not your father. Then I ran away.

1. The author bounces between Tommo as a young man, and Tommo’s memories of growing up. I think it is like that because the author wanted to make it look like a journal of Tommo’s life story that Tommo is writing himself.
ReplyDelete2. All the chapter titles are times on the clock he is probably writing like this to symbolize that he stayed up all night telling his life story.
3. Tommo feels “betrayed” by Charlie and Molly meeting with each other without telling him, because he is probably very jealous of molly, who he likes, I am guessing.
4. I am guessing Big Joe is in the church tower because he thinks it is heaven

1. Captain Wilkie is Charlie’s and Tommo’s new sergeant. Sergeant Hanley and Captain Wilkie are very different from each other because Sergeant Hanley is very strict and not in a good way, but Captain Wilkie may be strict at times but usually he is very kind. Captain Wilkie has the soldiers sing songs while they march to the trenches, and Sergeant Hanley is no man of mercy and much dislikes if you aren’t afraid of him.
ReplyDelete2. The war is going well for the soldiers so far because neither the German nor the British, America, etc. is attacking
3. The problem in the trenches was that Charlie Tommo, and his friends all went to the German trenches to take a hostage so they could find out as much about what the Germans are doing. Unfortunately while taking the prisoner they were soon discovered. Tommo, Charlie and his friends ran out of the German trenches and ran as fast as they could across no man’s land. Shells and flares went up everywhere, and thankfully Charlie, Tommo, and his friends all got back to their trenches safely.
I had I a friend that was visiting Canada from Korea, and she came to learn English a bit more. She had black hair, dark brown eyes, and was slightly taller than me her name was Jiho. After 1 year she left she was one of my best friends but I quickly got over it. About 3 years later another girl came from Korea strangely she looked almost identical as Jiho. Soon she and I became the best of friends. Oddly though once again she liked the same things as Jiho.
