Discussion+Director

= Week 1 Discusion Director = why do you think Annie is so scared for Moose? Tom I think Annie is scared for Moose, because she knows how bad things would be for him and his family, especially Moose's sister, Nat, becasue she just got in the school that her family has been trying to get her in for a long time. Can you imagine how it would feel to be the reason your sister can't go to the school she needs to go to? Katie Maybe that I could imagine if I had a sister and I was the one reason she could not go. I would not be really devasted if it happend. Matt Maybe because they are friends and she dose not what anything to happen to him Mckayla Why is Trixle such a jerk? Tom I think Trixle is only a jerk because he is jealous of how people like Moose's family love each other, in a family way. So in order to get back at them, he is mean...but being mean just makes people like him less, so it kind of goes in a circle there... Katie I disagree with you Katie that Officer Trixle is just doing his job and he just acts like to the prisoners to the people around him. He is just one who dislikes everyone. Matt Because lives with prisoners and he hears them and see's them a lot so maybe they How many tasks do you think that Al Capone will ask Moose to do? Tom I think definately more than one. Al Capone is strong, smart, and has nothing to lose. I think he will manipulate Moose as long as he can without getting caught. Katie Maybe just one! I mean that I would just want one thing, really who needs more than one thing. You know it would be very suspicious to the guards. So one small thing would not be noticeable. Matt How did Willy One Arm lose his arm? Tom I think Willy One Arm lost his arm when he was stealing something. Maybe a dog bit his arm off??? Or he was trying to rob someone, and they had a weapon, injured him and then made him go to jail? Either way, I think he lost his arm while in the process of stealing something. Katie I disagree with you Katie I think he just had surgery on his arm from twenty gun shots and the docters could not save the arm. He could of been shot by an police officer and was charged and was sent to a cell in Acatraz. Matt How do you think Moose is going to solve his problem with Al Capone? Tom Personally, I don't think he's gong to solve it at all. I think he will ignore everything, until the guilt makes him give in. I think he will end up doing the favor Al Capone asks him too, but figure out a way that he can do it without breaking the law. Katie I think Moose will end up doing his favor for Al Capone. But he might end up fighting over the problem with Annie. Matt Why do you think Piper isn't afraid of having convicts in her house? Tom I think Piper isn't afraid of the convicts because her family has a deal with them. Piper and her family give the convicts a job, food, good clothes-you know, all the stuff they got for working in the William's house, and in return they give the Williams something that you can't really buy....like secrets. Katie i think that moose is going to solve his problom by telling al capone about that tube thing under the apartmentsthat him and his friend hang out in. **AVERY** Because her dad is the warden and the I bet the convicts would not kill the wardens family.The convicts could pretend to be friendly to the family.

What do you thinkhappened to seven fingers other three fingers?AVERY Moose said that Seven Fingers was a axe killer, Seven Fingers could of accidently chop off his fingers when he killed someone. That could be a possibility of what hapened to Seven Fingers missing fingers. Or a victim could of fought bask and chop off Seven Fingers missing fingers. Matt I agree with you Matt...It has to have something to do with his axe. There are a lot of possibilities of things that could have happened to Seven Fingers' missing fingers. Maybe he was trying to kill someone in the dark, and accidently chopped off his fingers. Katie If you know the gun shot would of scared Nat would you of still shot the gun? AVERY No I would not have, it was wrong of Officer Trixle giving the order to shoot. A reason is I would know Natalie does not like the gun shoots so I would not want to do that on propuse. Matt I definitely would NOT have made the people shoot! That's just HORRIBLE!!!! It's like Officer Trixle has no sense of morality. He really didn't need to shoot at the boat-it was already leaving. I think he did it just to try and prove a point, that HE is in charge and decides when or when not to shoot. Katie What do you think the note that Al Capone left in moose's pillow case is going to say? AVERY What??? The question does not make sense. Matt Um yeah that doesn't make sense...but if you are trying to say "What do you think OF the note that Al Capone left in Moose's pillowcase?" then I have an answer. I think Al Capone also has no sense of morality! Who asks a kid to do a criminal a favor? It's like he's trying to get Moose in trouble. I think Al Capone should have just left Moose alone. Katie sorry i didint mean to do that. :) AVERY Do you think that Nat is going to help Moose in Al Capone’s favor? AVERY  No not really how could Nat help out any way? She is at that school were there is no way she could help when the adults watch her. Matt  No...Nat has autism..she can't really think about helping Moose. Plus, Moose hasn't told anybody in his family about his situation. Also, like Matt said, the adults will have a constant eye on her, and she is at her school. Katie  Do you think that Nat will get kicked out of her new school?  No I do not think Nat will get kick out of school because Moose will do the favor Al Capone wants him to do. So Moose will still try to keep Nat in school. Matt  Not unless Officer Trixle or somebody else finds out the reason she got into the school (Al Capone). Then I think she might, but if you mean like because of her behavior, then no, I don't think she will be kicked out. Katie Why do you think Moose wants to take Nat to the wrong field? If you are saying "take Annie to the..." I think he does not want any distractions because he would not want to miss that game between Annie and Scout. So he would take her to the wrong field so then they would be enough time to vist Nat and buy flowers. Matt Yeah, Moose wants to take **Annie** to the wrong field, not **Nat**. But I disagree with you Matt. It's not that he doesn't want to miss them playing, it's that he doesn't want them to play at all, I think. But on the other part, I think you are right. He wants to have enough time to get back and give Mae the flowers for Capone. Katie

= Discussion Director---Week 3 =

How do you think Jimmy feels? Is he just mad, or do you think he's jealous...? Katie I think it is a little of both mad and being jealous. I think he is partly mad because Moose would not hang out with him as much anymore. I think he is partly jealous because he can not play baseball as good as Moose and Scout so he does not want to hang out with Moose. Matt How do you think Mae knew Moose's name? Katie Maybe Al Capone told her so she would knowuser:SparklyrainbowunicornsMcKayla Al Capone told his wife like you said McKayla. But he would had to be really secretive to tell his wife Moose's name. Matt **Wo****uld** you have done the same thing as Moose when he handed out the roses? Why? Katie Yes, but I would have given all the roses to Mae Capone. Not giving one to all the girls. Matt What do you think of Sadie and the way she teaches Nat? Katie I think that she is kinda bossing Nat around user:Sparklyrainbowunicorns McKayla I think Sadie is doing the right idea of teaching Nat not to do her regular actions. Its good that Sadie is yelling at Nat. Matt Do you think Moose will figure out that Annie likes him? How/why? Katie I think that in the end of the book he might figure that out user:Sparklyrainbowunicorns McKayla I have not realized that Annie likes Moose. Matt Do you think Mae actually dropped a handkerchief? If so, who do you think picked it up? Katie Yes I do believe that Mae dropped her handkerchief. I think a guard pick it up and kept it in a lock drawer. Matt

= Discussion Director Week 4 = = = How do you think Nat got the bar spreader and who do you think told her keep saying bottom drawer? Explain. Matt

Why does Al Capone spit in the food before he serves the food? Explain. Matt

Why would Nat punch a man just for messing up her buttons? Explain. Matt

Why would Officer Trixle would think it be all right to stop guarding the bathroom when Seven Fingers is in there? Explain. Matt

How come Officer Trixle and Moose's dad ever notice Seven Fingers searching in Nat's drawer in her room? Explain. Matt

Why would Piper get Mr. Mattaman and Moose's dad on probation just because she is mad at Moose and Theresa? Explain. Matt

Do you think Piper is manipulating Moose in the Officer's Club so he would not chicken out? Explain. Matt

Why does Mr. Mattaman and Moose's dad stop looking in Nat's suitcase after they thought the metal that set off the snitch box was Nat's button's? Explain. Matt

1)Why do you think that Moose wonders if his know what a lot of words mean?user:SparklyrainbowunicornsMcKayla
The question does not make sense. Matt Yeah that doesn't make sense...I bet when you were typing it, the computer freaked out and jumbled your stuff up. I hate it when that happens! Katie huh? tom

2) What do you think Theraeas to make Piper mad at them?user:SparklyrainbowunicornsMcKayla
If you are saying "Theresa **did** to make" then I would answer that Theresa stop Moose and Piper from kissing. Then Moose did not stand up for Piper and left her in the secret passageway and went with Theresa. Matt I agree with you Matt. Even when I was reading it, I could understand why Piper got mad. Theresa stopped Piper and Moose from kissing, because Thersea likes Moose, and Piper knows that. I would probably be mad too. And then Moose just went with Piper. Of course, Moose didn't know Theresa likes him, but Piper may have thought he figured that out... I mean it was kind of obvious, but sometimes people just miss the obvious, when they are looking for the not-so obvious things. Katie i dont understand what your saying. to m 3) why do you think Theraeas hates Piper so much?user:SparklyrainbowunicornsMcKayla  I think the reason is that Theresa thinks Piper should get yelled at because Piper ever gets yelled at. Matt  I have to disagree with you here Matt. I think Thersea is just Jealous of Piper. Theresa likes Moose, but Moose doesn't like Theresa, he likes PIper, like I said earlier. But that might take some girl logic to figure out.... :D Katie  i agree with kattie i think that she's just jelous of piper becaus moose likes her. tom

4)How do you that Natalie snuk out with anyone knowing?user:SparklyrainbowunicornsMcKayla
I would think Nat can be pretty quiet when she wants to. Plus, nobody was watching her, so that would make it even easier for her to slip away. Katie 5) Why do you think that Theraeas wants to know if Moose likes Piper & when is the next time that Moose is going to talk to her &why do you think so? user:SparklyrainbowunicornsMcKayla I think Thersea just likes Moose, and, like most little kids, is really nosy. She just want to know EVERYTHING...I think she looks at Moose like a mystery, and wants to crack the code, see what he really thinks about Piper. Katie

I think you need one more question. Katie = = = =
