@juanrccsd931 @MrsThorsenSMS @SchwabSMS@stratford_IC Awesome response, Juan! Also, I like your choice for your book title; I can see how it truly ties back to the story and how Mike kept all of those secrets away from his mother, like playing on a football team, for example.
@SourishP_93 @MrsThorsenSMS @SchwabSMS@stratford_IC@JasonReynolds83 Great tweet, Sourish! I really like the title you came up with, and I can see how it really ties into your story. Your book also seems very interesting and it seems like it's based off of true problems in our society.
@JoeN_93 @MrsThorsenSMS @SchwabSMS@stratford_IC Amazing response, Joe! Great title choice for your novel! But, who is Tyler and why does the story mainly revolve around him? Also, how is important to the story?
@MiaS_9393@juanrccsd931 @MrsThorsenSMS @SchwabSMS@stratford_IC@Trent_Reedy ...already been dead and Mike would've been in high school. So, in the letters, Mike's dad also told Mike about more serious topics like a planned divorce because he was in high school and more mature to understand.
@MiaS_9393@juanrccsd931 @MrsThorsenSMS @SchwabSMS@stratford_IC@Trent_Reedy ... he always wanted to do, like play football. Also, when Mike's dad joined the Army, Mike was still very young to understand the reality of his dad. So, Mike's father had written letters dedicated to Mike before he died, so when Mike received them, his father would've...
@VikrantG931 @MrsThorsenSMS @SchwabSMS@stratford_IC@Trent_Reedy Awesome tweet, Vikrant! I like your 6-word summary of "If You're Reading This"! Your summary really fits into the plot of the novel, and as you said, while in high school, Mike tried to learn more about his father, he joined the football team, and much more!
@VikrantG931 @MrsThorsenSMS @SchwabSMS@stratford_IC Great response, Vikrant! I like your choice of the new title of our novel; it really ties into the main idea of the book! Likewise, I thought that the letters truly did engender him to enjoy many things in his life like playing football and going to parties, for example.
@MrsThorsenSMS @SchwabSMS@stratford_IC A2: ...gave hints to who was sending the letters, but Mike struggled to find the "Mystery Mailer". In the new title, "the Whispers" refers to the letters and minutiae sent to Mike. "The Whispers" also means that it was difficult to find the mailer with the iota of information...
@MrsThorsenSMS @SchwabSMS@stratford_IC@Trent_Reedy A1 (cont.): ...with violence, Mike restrained himself from physically hurting his bullies and thought of the consequences that might come with his actions. When Mike showed Rhodes how he wasn't really affected by his teasing, it irked Rhodes that Mike wasn't intimated by him.
@MrsThorsenSMS @SchwabSMS@stratford_IC@Trent_Reedy A1: If I summarized"If You're Reading This" in six words, it would be, "Bullying can be overpowered by self-control". This is because, within the book, the main character, Mike, faces multiple bullies like Nick Rhodes, for example. However, instead of facing them...
@juanrccsd931 @MrsThorsenSMS @stratford_IC@SchwabSMS Great prediction, Juan! Before I finished the book, I was thinking the same thing about Mike eventually finding the Mystery Mailer. In the end, I was actually pretty surprised as to who the Mystery Mailer was, and I'm sure you will be too!
@93Gabig @MrsThorsenSMS @stratford_IC@SchwabSMS Great question, Gabi! I'm actually very interested in your book and want to know more. So, initially, what perspective was the story actually told from? Also, who actually performed the shooting at the school?
@DaanishS_93 @MrsThorsenSMS @stratford_IC@SchwabSMS@Trent_Reedy Great question, Daanish! I totally agree with you on how Mike's mom doesn't seem that interested in the rest of her community. Because, as you said, if she was more involved with other parents, then instead of Mike telling her, she would've found out herself that Mike was on...
