Book: The Egypt Game by Zilpha Keatly Snyder
Number of pages assigned for the week: 34 pages
My Job: Discussion Director
Description of my findings in the perspective of my job:
Why would the Professor be curious about April, Marshall, and Melanie playing in his storage yard?
Maybe he is surprised by their creativity and imagination, and their boldness to trespass his property without fear of being discovered by him.
What does "It was a real smile, small and quick, not he gooey kind she usually used on grown-ups" tell you about April?
It shows that April enjoys faking sweetness to adults.
What does the author mean by "she had a notion he wouldn't fool easily"?
Aprils like to seem especially sweet and innocent in front of adults, most are fooled into believing this but something about the mysterious and all knowing nature of the Professor makes April feel as though he will see right through her.
Why was Melanie almost speechless when she met April?
Wearing false lashes and fur, Melanie had never seen anyone let alone a peer dressed so glamorously.
What does the author mean by "Melanie was beginning to understand about April's frozen spells, and how to thaw her out"?
"Frozen spells" mean that April tries to appear as a cool and glamorous Hollywood daughter-of-a-star but Melanie knows that by playing imaginary games and reading she can reveal the true creative, free-spirited April, in other words ,"thaw her out".
For next day two we will read: 25 pages
