We've been discussing the book with our table groups. Now it's time to talk with your friends from other classes that are also reading this book. Take some time to think about a part of the book that would make for a good discussion. It can be any part from the beginning to the part you read for today.
Tell about the part you read, give your thoughts about it, and invite others to share their thoughts too.
Here are some discussion stems:
I want to talk about the part where __________________. I thought _____________________. What did you think?
The part that I thought was most interesting so far was _____________________________. I think _________________________________________. What did you think?
I want to talk about the part where he was in the scope ready to kill the president page 115-120. I don't understand how they didn't hear it, and alert the driver to go faster. If I was there I would probably tell the driver to go faster. Would you?
ReplyDeleteI agree they thought that it was something wrong with the car but they were way off, and how did no one notice that it was a barrel that was sticking out of the window. If I was the driver and heard the first shot I would have floored it.
DeleteI reread that part and I fully agree. I would have asked the driver to do the same thing.
DeleteI agree because wouldn't people find out who did it because the gunshot was very loud.

ReplyDeleteI want to talk about when Oswald tried to assassinate general Walker, page 56. Oswald had been in the military so why would he want to assassinate a general. Also with all of his experience with a rifle and in the military how would he have missed and why would he leave his rifle there.If they found that rifle Oswald would have never got to assassinate the president. He was lucky that they never found it. What do you think
ReplyDeleteI reread that part and I agree why would he have left his rifle there is he knew the police could find it.
DeleteYeah, I agree just why would he assassinate him, and very surprised that he didn't get caught.
DeleteI want to talk about the part when Lee Oswald decided to abandon the gun on the 6th floor pg 123 to 125. I thought that he shouldn't have done that because the police could have went up to the 6th floor and found it and tested it for fingerprint. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because Yes the police would have found it and I think he should have brought it with him.
DeleteYeah,I agree that was very unintelligent, because they could have easily caught him.
DeleteI agree, I mean It would have been a little more difficult to escape but he would have had a better chance of not being caught. Leaving his rifle there is just enough evidence for the police to know who the killer is and track him down.
DeleteI wanted to talk about the part when Lee Harvey Oswald beat up his wife Mariana, Because on page 58 it said he had beaten up her and hit her. Do you think Mariana should have left him after what he did to her? What do you think.
ReplyDeleteYes, because he already tried to kill the General so just why not just leave him.
DeleteI reread that and I totally agree, if he had beaten his wife she should have left him. Mariana I guess was thinking about the kids because if she left then they wouldn't have a father anymore, but I agree Mariana should have totally got herself out of that situation. Maybe she was afraid of leaving him because maybe she would have gotten beat more, but she should have totally gotten out of there.
DeleteI want to talk about the part where Oswald was worried about people finding him, page 98-100. If Oswald wanted to assassinate the president then why didn't he make sure that it was safe before he wanted to even do it. Also,if Oswald was afraid of the people to find him why didn't he make sure that the building didn't have anybody in it because he could of got caught.
ReplyDeleteI agree because Yea he could have gotten caught when he shot the gun at JFK.
DeleteI agree he should have thought about what he was going to do before he did it
