I don't believe that noon is much of a bad gut all that he got beaten by a seventh grader so Arthur can survive being chased by Mr. Monday.
 * Book Preview: List 25 questions the reader might have before opening the cover to read this novel.**

Twistle I asked my teacher Mr.meyer. I think for someone who has know idea they should reread or go on and see if you still understand. I got to like history this year in the beginning I didn't. So they can be exiting parts later and so it looks that the evel will win. I found that was interesting that the main character wants to go out of class.

raclaw- I didn't worry about the confusing parts. I just read the whole way through and worried about the things things that I understood. I understood the important parts of the prologue and that is what is important. I'm not a very good reader so I wouldn't know how to readers should attack similar reading selections. Several times this year I have had a bad sour throat that I have had to over come. I think that the author makes the "hero" of the story have problems because it might come in handy for him later in the book. I wasn't expecting the two men to show up while Aurthur had an asthma attack.

cece1 I some what understood it but I asked my teacher,Mr.Meyer, if I got it right. If they don't understand than I would say to reread or ask someone who has read the book. I think I have overcome math. I think it is throw you off so you don't think it is him. I think it is interesting that the main character has to be saved by two kids he did not know, they where also twins.

I used what I thought was happening but then my teacher told me ask to ask my group members. Readers who "attack" this should ask someone who have read that part or the book. I have to overcome being quiet so I had to try to be more social. I also try to be nice to everyone. Arthur has asthama so it was hard for him to breath so that's why. I was not expecting Arthur to be adopted. I also didn't expect that Mister Monday is kind of the villian. i thought Mister Monday would be way nicer than he really is. I also can't beleive that the dragon came to life!**

Arthur realizes the dog-faced men are after him and he is frightened. Describe if/why you think the dog-faced men make good villains. What would your perfect villain be like? Give a detailed description. Who is the best villain you've seen, read about, heard of, or met? What made them the best? spartan 117 well I think the dog face men are good a villain because in movies you find talking wolves and dogs to be villainish so ya there ok. My villain would be

raclaw- They are good villains because they are mean, mad, scary, and obey their master. He would be everywhere, he would be mean, nasty, scary, mad, and would obey his master. His face would look like a tiger, except for in the day time, and his arms would be elephant trunks, so hey could more in all which ways. The best villain I've read about is Voldemort, because he is everything I discribed. He just dosen't have the looks.

cece1 I feel that dog-faced villains are good due to the fact that they are scary. I think a big spider would be scary. It would look like a black widow type with hard red eyes, large black claws, and able to pick you up. My mom does really good villian sounds and likes to scare us, it is hard to explain but she really sounds scary when she laughs another one is the which on the Wizard of Oz, I am not fond of the on from the west.

i think that the dog face men make good villains because there part dog so they can smell really good and they can hear really good. They also could use there sharp teath and tear Artur apart. My perfect villain would probally be like a fire breathing, meat eating dragon. That would scare my socks off in like two seconds! The best villain I've heard of is Beetle Juice the joker. i seen him in a concert at Universal. He was really creepy! So that made him the best because he sounded like a joker also with their high pitched laughs.
 * pewee07-

Twistle- I think they are a good villain because they are very weird because they dress up to kill or hurt people and they have a weird dog face. In a weird book would be able to do and think the same as its enemy. The worst person I have read about is voldemort because of his wizzardly powers. My brother is a the person who is a** villain and that is my brother because he looks scary.

__Day 5 Wiki Response Questions:__
 * Good readers make many predictions while they are reading. Some predictions turn out to be true, while others are "off."

List some of your predictions you made while reading this novel.

What would you predict would happen if there was a sequel to this novel? What direction might the author take with the characters?

Would you recommend the novel to others? Why or why not? Explain.

spartan 117 my predictions in the book

twistle- I made lots of** predictions during the novel like when Arthor was going to meet someboby in the middle of the book and when they kept talking about the house I thought that he was going to go to the house and that was all right. I thought at the end ,the kid, Arthor was going to defeat mr.monday because good aways defeat evil. I was off when the old man was in the book because I was thinking that the old man was going to say nothing about him or how to get out. I think that there is gng to be a ruler and that would be arthor but he gets over gets mean because of the power and gets befriended be people and suzy and Arthor loose the kingdom and are running and the book's evil is Pravuil.

I made a prediction that Arthur gets both of the keys which he did! I predicted that Mr. Monday when Arthur went to get the hour key that Monday wasd bathing which he was. I also predicted that the will was a man but it was a women. I predicted when Arthur got the two keys he would get rid of Monday. I would think that the fetchers and the morrow days come and get Arthur again. So then the Fetchers create a worse diesase and everyone has to leave. Then Arthur saves the year by calling the Will and so she and him will both save the day. But that's in 5-6 years. Everyone would be in the book again and Pravuil tries to kill Arthur and Suzy but he can't because Arthur then took over the kingdom. I would because it is a mystery which everyone gets a disease. So Arthur has to get 2 keys and take over the kingdom.****
 * pewee07-

cece1 My preditction was that Mr. Monday was not a bad guy. I also thought that Arthur would get back home, I am glad that he did. Last I thought that Suzy would want to stay were her family was from, and that the actor was the part right during Arthurs childhood. If the author wrote another book I think it would start with Arthur going back to claim the kingdom, and learn his role as the king. The Author would have Suzy stay with him and see if he could fix Leaf's brother and his family. I feel that the author would make Tuesday the bad person in the next one. I would recommond this book to others to read it has alot of different things in it for everyone to enjoy.
