The Bullet

Today in "Hurumanut 4" we had to read a book of our choice and answer some questions about it. The book I chose is called "The Bullet". It's about a boy who is bullied at his new school The boy finds the bullet because a man who comes up to him in his car and offers him a smoke and the bullet falls out of the car. The boy grabs the bullet and takes it to school to show everyone how cool he is. Once we had read the book we had to answer some questions on a blog post. The questions are...  

#1 Do you think Rodney cares who or what the bullet was meant for? Why do you think that?

I don't think Rodney cared about who the bullet was for he just wanted everyone to think he is cool.

#2What clues can you find in the text that will help you to understand why the boy might be with the police now?

Because the car smelled bitter. Maybe drugs? In possession of a prohibited substance? And he asked Rodney if he wanted a smoke.

Why doesn’t he look cool anymore? What has changed?

He doesn't look cool anymore because of hid sunglasses and he looks nervous because he got caught by the cops.

What is Charmaine’s opinion of the boy? What does she mean by “guys like him”? Do you agree with her? Why or why not?

"Guys like him," I think she means like boy racers or the people who blast their music in their cars because "They're Cool"

What do you think Rodney has learned from the events in the story?

I think that he has learned to not take stuff that is his and hide it from other people. He should've handed it into the police.

What do you think the author’s theme or message was? What is your response to this?

I think the "Theme or Message" is to not take stuff that isn't yours and instead of hiding something dangerous turn it into the police or tell an adult you trust.
