Passage+Picker

Gentry- So it was up to Aunt Alex to tell the bad news. "We have to give up the house," she said quietly. "It does not belong to us." - I picked this passage because this was the main reason of the chapter. Eleanor had found the papers to change the fact that they would have to move. I think it was cool that she had that. I think Ralph Preek might of been lying.

Eddy was home again for sure. His trembling hands fell fro, the handlebars; he slumped on the narrow saddle and hung his head. His bare feet slipped from the pedals and thudded on the floor.- I picked this passage because I thought it was very descriptive of how Eddy felt about being home.

Maddie- Eddy had an unhappy thought. Even if the bike took him all the way back to the right time, He'd be in the wrong part of the world

" Well, just a minute, boy." The woman disappeared into the house, carrying the bucket. A moment later she came back, holding a baby. " Here he is, boy. This is David Henry Thoreau. He's ten days old." I chose this passage because Eddy went too early in time, he couldn't talk too Mr. Thoreau.

Passage Picker p.87 Eddy winked at the plaster bust of Henry Thoreau and strode importantly down the hall. He was feeling generous. He was about to do a favor for Uncle Freddy, who seemed so worried these days, who had too much on his mind.-I picked this because Eddy was going to go back in time to get info from Henry Thoreau life to tell Freddy. Gentry- I am wondering who Henry Thoreau is.

p.82 Where in the past should he go? How far back? A short way or a long way? It was so hard to chose. All those bygone centuries were calling to him, reaching out welcoming arms.-I picked this because he was planing where he was going to go next. So I thought it was important. Gentry- When was Henry Thoreau living? I don't think it says, but I do know that it was back a little bit.

Gentry- The passage I found is a few paragraphs: "Oh Madeline," said Raltph Preek testily, "it's you again." "Forgive me, Ralph, but I simply had to call. Surely you have more news for me by now?" Mr. Preek spoke solemnly. "Only this, Madeline. In spite of the fact that the man in question has had plenty of warning, he has not yet produced legal document. Until he does, you have nothing to fear."- I picked this because I thought it had something to do with Eddy or Uncle Freddy. It was probably important.

//It likes me//, thought Eddy. //It knows it's my bike.-// I picked this because it is important to know that automatically, the bike came to Eddy, without anybody even having to push it.

**I chose this passage because it was the key paragraph of the chapter.** Gentry-I am so confused why he would steal Eddy's bike even though it must be pretty cool. I don't understand why didn't he report it-Mitchell #
 * Maddie- The passage I found is a paragraph... **
 * Hunky was watching the game furtively on the sidewalk on the other side of the chain-link fence. Like Eddy, he was sitting on a bike with his feet on the ground. And the bike was Eddy's. It was his own birthday bike, his brand-new Timuri, shiny and red, with its rock shocks and twenty one combinations of gears. It was the bike that Aunt Alew and Uncle Freddy had spent so much money for, the beautiful bike that had been Eddy's pride and joy. **
 * Page 66, first full paragraph **

Ya I don't get it why he doesn't want his awesome new bike.

He felt a lump in his pants pocket. It was the english muffin. he pulled it out and looked at it in surprise. It was stiff and stale.

The english muffin was stiff and stale because it had been a week while he was in the garage, (Because of the time bike) -Maddie

Gentry- Why did you pick this?

Because I thought it was kind of funny because he was suprised that the bike really worked!!


 * Maddie-True... **
 * Gentry- Okay. I think that it was weird that the bike worked! **

Why do you think that it's weird that the bike worked?

Gentry- I thought it was weird because the first time it worked, but it only took him back two minutes instead of six months. He is also kind of clumsy.
 * true but i still don't understand why it is weird? **

**Maddie-The Passage that I picked is a paragraph....**
