Compare the way Chip and Jonah. How do they think, what do they have in common, and how have their adoptions differed? Use evidence from your text to back up your claims.
Chip and Jonah have a lot in common. One thing they both like to do is play basketball. In the text it says, "This was strange too because Chip had never been in Jonah's room before. They were play-basketball-in-the-driveway-and-maybe-come-into-the-kitchen-for-a-drink-of-water friends, not let's-go-hang-out-in-my-room friends." This tells me that they are the kind of friends that like to play games together, but they don't sit and talk just for the sake of being together. From my reading, I know that Chip wants Jonah to play basketball. Chip and Jonah think alike because when they both got a letter saying, “You are one of the Missing,” they both thought it was a prank letter. They did not think it was a big deal. Chip and Jonah’s adoptions differed because Jonah was told he was adopted the whole time while Chip was not told until he got his letter. Chip was very angry.
Zane Felton I don't think Chip and Jonah think the same at all. One very big aspect about Chip and Jonah is that they are both adopted. Another aspect is, both of the friends don't know that much about their real parents. Both friends got strange letters saying, "You are one of the missing!" and, "THEY'RE COMING BACK TO GET YOU!". One aspect Jonah and Chip's adoptions differ is, Chip was lied to about not being adopted his whole life, while on the other hand, Jonah knew that he was adopted his whole life.
Chip and Jonah have many similarities, along with many differences. I know this because They are both adopted, although Jonah has known ever since he was adopted. Chip's parents didn't tell him until he was in the seventh grade, and I gather that they didn't plan to tell him for a long time, if ever. I think this because Chip's parents hadn't told him anything until he actually asked. I believe that they were just going to live acting like Chip wasn't adopted. Chip had asked, so his father told him that Chip was adopted. Chip and Jonah also have pretty different ways of acting and thinking. It might just be this way because so far, you only get a view from Jonah's mind and not Chip's, but Jonah seems to have more respect than Chip. I know this because Chip seems to be the kind of person who says whatever comes to mind, and Jonah seems to think about what he should say more often. I know this because in the text, when Chip tells Jonah about his conversation with his father, it says, "'You know, there are lots of reasons people can't take care of their own kids,' Jonah said cautiously." Jonah makes sure that whatever he says won't cause any trouble, and what Chip says seems not to bother Jonah, but make him question Chip. Overall, Jonah just seems like a good kid, who is not snotty and annoying. Chip seems like a good kid too, just not as respectful.
Lillyahna Mullins Chip and Jonah have many things in common they also have a lot of differences. They both like to play basket ball, they got the same letter saying "you are one of the missing." some differences between them are Jonah knew his whole life that he was adopted and chip found out in seventh grade. Jonah was eating dinner when chip rang the doorbell he rang the doorbell a couple more times when Jonah finally answered the door. The two boys went up to Jonah's room in his room Jonah kept reassuring chip that he would be able to find his birth parents when he was older.
Kyle Harmon Chip and Jonah have many things in common, they also have a lot of differences. Such as, they both play basketball. chip is not a close friend, just a friend. another thing they have in common is they are both adopted children. It has been difficult for Jonah ever sense he discovered he was adopted. One day, they got the same letter. Chip rudely rang the door bell more than once, repeatedly. Interrupting dinner, Jonah took chip to his room. Jonah thought he would find his true parents in time.
Brody Jacks Chip and Jonah have a lot of similarities. One thing that I know that they both like to do is play basketball.I know that they liked to play basketball because they were friends and they weren't the type of friends that would go hang-out in their room or sit and talk type of friends, they were the type of friends that would like to play games with each other. Another thing that they have in common is they were both adopted. Jonah knew that she was adopted ever since it happened. Chip didn't know that he was adopted until he was in seventh grade. When he found that he was adopted his whole life he was very angry.
Lily Pinson From my reading, I know that Chip is the type of person who thinks and takes things sometimes to far. He also seems to over react sometimes. As for when he found out that he was adopted, he started to get really worried. Jonah seems like the type of person that will think about things until he figures them out. He will stay calm and try to calm down his friends too. One thing they have in common though, is that they are both adopted. They also love to play basket ball. Though with their adoptions, it was a different story. First of all, Jonah had known that he was adopted his whole life and had always stayed calm about it. If I were Chip and had figured it out at his age, I would have honestly over reacted too. I have a prediction though. In the prologue, there was a plane full of babies. I have the feeling that since Chip and Jonah both received a letter from someone unidentified, that they were both at least one baby off of that plane.
Chip and Jonah are very different but also very similar from what I have read. Chip is a person that questions most things and overthinks them. In the text Chip asks. "Do you ever wonder what's going to happen?" "I mean, I really, really want to make the basketball team. But even if I make it in seventh and eighth graders, then there's high school to deal with. Whoa. And then there's college, and being a grown-up... It's all pretty scary, don't you think?". Jonah seems very calm, he doesn't overthink most things and wants to live in the present. We also learn this from when Chip is in his room, he tries to explain things to him like birth parents, and real parents. Chip and Jonah are similar because we learned that they are both sensitive about their adoptions. In the yard when Jonah finds his "Prank letter" he rips it into pieces. When Chip found this "Prank letter" he ran to Jonah's house and asked for help, he banged on Jonah's door and was freaking out about the whole thing, because that was the time where Chip found out that he was adopted. But I have a theory that Jonah and Chip are one of those babies on the plane that we learned about in the prologue. So we can guess that there is probably many other "You are one of the missing letters"
Makayla Shawcroft From my reading I know that Chip has a different way of thinking then Jonah. I know this because Chip so far just likes to say everything that comes to mind and overreact to things instead of thinking things through like Jonah does. Jonah has more respect for what he says so that he doesn't hurt others feelings and so that he doesn't cause any sort of issue. They both seem really kind and nice but Chip doesn't seem to have as much respect as Jonah. I found out in the beginning that both of them like basketball. During a game of basketball Jonah received a letter from an unknown sender saying he was one of the missing. Jonah fist thought that it could've been something serious, but then he thought it was just a awful prank about him being adopted. From this I think that Jonah is more kindhearted and serious, but doesn't liked to be teased about his adoption. When Chip found out that he was adopted he was really mad. Chip had also seemed kind of scared because in the text Chip tries to tell Jonah that he is adopted but is overwhelmed with the fact that he is adopted. He was so overwhelmed that he couldn't do anything but nod to the question that Jonah asked. Jonah had known his whole life that he was adopted, but Chip has just found out in seventh grade.
Chip and Jonah both like playing basketball because at the beginning of the book they are playing basketball. Chip and Jonah don't think pranks are funny. The reason I know they both don't think pranks are funny is because in the book it says "We think pranks aren't funny" said Chip. Chip and Jonah's adoptions are different because Chip's parents are mentioned all the time and Jonah's parents aren't mentioned at all.
Rafe Card Chip and Jonah don't think alike because Chip thinks that the letter was not a prank, and Jonah thinks it was a prank. Chip and Jonah have little things in common, they both like basketball and hanging out together. Their adoptions have differed by, Chip had never knew that he was adopted. Jonah had known about his adoption (his parents told him).
Rafe Card Chip and Jonah don't think alike because Chip thinks that the letter was not a prank, and Jonah thinks it was a prank. Chip and Jonah have little things in common, they both like basketball and hanging out together. Their adoptions have differed by, Chip had never knew that he was adopted. Jonah had known about his adoption (his parents told him).
Lucas Durfee Chip and Jonah do not think alike because when Jonah receives his letter that says you are one of the missing he says "Just a prank , I guess." but, when Chip receives his letter he goes to his dad and asks if he is adopted and his dad told him yes. The reason I think Chip and Jonah think different is because Chip takes the letter seriously but, Jonah does not. What Chip and Jonah have in common is they like playing basketball and they are both adopted. Jonah's adoption is different than Chip's adoption because Johnah knew about his adoption his whole life but, Chip did not know about his adoption until he was 13.
Evelyn O’Neill From reading chapters 1,2,and 3 I know that Jonah and chip share the same interest in basketball. Jonah and Chip were the kind friends that play basketball and sometimes go in the kitten to get a drink and now they are the type of friends who go and hang out in their bedrooms. Chip had first found out that Jonah was adopted when they were playing basketball, and then later in the book Chip found out that he was adopted too. Jonah and Chip adoption is different because Jonah had already knew about being adopted, on the other hand Chip had no idea he was adopted. Chip’s Dad said that he never wanted to talk about it again.
According to the text Janah have many things in common. Like they both like playing baskeball because they where playing basketball in a drive way.Anotherway they are related is they are both adopted. The way they are different is chip reacts different when he found out they where adoped. chip started tofreak out and jonah didnt care.
Parker Jones Chip and Jonah have many things in common but they also think different sometimes. Chip overthinks things and sometimes speaks before thinking. Jonah is more the type to think and be respectful before he speaks. They both have a lot in common. One thing they have in common is they like to play basketball. They are also in the same grade. And they both were adopted. Jonah has always known that he was adopted. His parents told him when he was little. Chip just found out that he was adopted. He was furious about the news from his parents. He was very upset that all this time he thought his parents were his real parents and now they are just strangers.
Parker Jones I would be shocked and sad if I found out I was adopted. I don't think Chip is over reacting. I would probably be doing the same things because I would want to know the truth. I'm glad I'm not in Chip's shoes.
Abril Ugalde Chip and Jonah have in common that they both are adopted, they both go the same school in seventh grade, and they both like basketball so far in the book. Chip and Jonah differ because Jonah is more calm the Chip, and Chip is more enthusiastic. Their adoptions are differant because Jonah knew that he was adopted from the very start, and Chip only found out recently about his adoption because he got a note that said, "you are one of the missing" and asked his dad about it. Their adoptions also are differant because Jonah was always been cool with it, and accepted it. On the other hand, Chip has been a wreak ever since he found out, and he calls his parents strangers now.
Abril Ugalde I do feel sorry for Chip. I would be mad at my parents for not telling me I was adopted, even after 13 years. Even if I would be mad, I would not go crazy like Chip has or called my parents strangers.
Thane Horton Chip and Jonah are similar but they can also be different occasinally. They both like basketball and they both are adopted. chip thinks before he talks and he overthinks and sometimes chip just needs to calm down. like in chapter three when he finds out he is adopted and then he's furious and He says that his adopted parents just complete strangers to him now. Where as Jonah always new that he was adopted and had books that his adopted parents gave him. Jonah also knows to think before he speaks. Their adoptions are also different because Jonah always knew and Chip just found out and chip isn't as respectful as Jonah.
Do you like both of them? I like your analysis---very perceptive thinking. Be sure to capitalize Chip's name and use periods to avoid run-on sentences.
Lucas Durfee I thought that this was a great summery. I don't think that you should have said "they can be different occasionally" you should have said they are different because. I also agree that Chip is not as respectful as Jonah about his adoption. I agree that Chip needs to think before he speaks.
From my reading I know that chip and Jonah have there differences and they have there similarities weather it is how they think or how they where adopted. some things that Chip and Jonah have in common are they both love sports like basket ball I know this because in chapter one it talks about them playing basket ball all the time. They both are in the same grad, I know this because in the book it talks about how they are both in 7th grad. and last they both are adopted and I know that because in the book both Jonah and chip get a not that said "you are one of the missing and when chip came home to how his dad his dad told him he was adopted. Also Jonah all ready new he was adopted so he did not think it was that big of a deal.
Tylie Norcutt Chip and Jonah have similarities and they have differences. What they have in common is that they both like playing basket ball. I know that because in the beginning they where both playing basket ball outside. Another thing that they have in common is that they both are adopted. I know that because in the 1st chapter it said Jonah was adopted. Then in the second chapter it said Chip was adopted. Something else that they have in common is that they are both in the same grade. They are both in the 7th grade. I know that because in chapter one it said that they where in the 7th grade. Those where the similarities I saw, but there is also differences. For example they both think differently. For example, Jonah thinks that your real parents are the ones who take care of you and Chip thinks that you real parents are your birth parents. There adoptions are also different. They are different because Jonah knew he was adopted and Chip just found out he was adopted.
Jackson T. Moon From my reading I know that Chip and Jonah have things in common. For example, they both like basketball. In chapter 1 and 2 it said that they both are adopted. They both got the same letter that said, “You are one of the missing”. Another example is, that they both are in seventh grade. I know this because chapter 1 stated that they were in seventh grade. In chapter one it said they both live in the same neighborhood. Chip and Jonah also have differences. For instance, Jonah’s parents told him he was adopted and Chip’s parents didn’t tell him he was adopted. I know that because chapters 1 and 2. One more difference is that Chip thinks your real parents are your birth parents, and Jonah thinks his real parents are the parents that take care of you. I know this because it said it in chapter 3.
From my reading I know that Chip and Jonah are alike in many ways. On page fourteen we find out that they both like basketball, and the both were adopted. Jonah and Chip are different because of their adoptions, for instance, Chip finds out he's adopted when he's thirteen. Jonah has always known he was adopted. I know this because in chapter three Jonah tries to calm Chip down, but Chip is really mad and he can't control himself because he is filled with anger and rage so he pounded his fists against the door. Jonah tries to calm him down by saying, "There are lots of reasons people can't take care of their kids. Then he says, "Maybe your birth parents died and that's why you were adopted." They're also different because Chip just randomly says things without really thinking like, "My parents are complete strangers." Chip seems to be more of a negative person, because he thinks his birth parents abandoned him, while Jonah always thinks positive, and can see the good in a situation. I think it would be really hard to be friends with someone that negative.
I like the way you think, Holden! I like that you are positive and that you used text evidence correctly. Did you read the prologue? Any thoughts about it?
Jonah and Chips' experiences with adoption have been complete opposite. Jonah's experience has been open with honesty and trust. His parents have given him text books to help him understand his adoption. Chip, on the other hand, has just found out that he was adopted. He has feelings of betrayal by his adoptive parents. In the reading, Chip comments that his parents are total strangers to him right now.
WHO IS THIS? Please type your name with yoru responses.Thank you! Do you think his feelings are justified? How about some similarities, as well? Can you identify some things that they have in common? Please be sure to use correct punctuation (periods) so you have understandable sentences..
Chip takes longer time to compare and define questions and answers. Although, Jonah takes shorter time to find the answers to questions. These are my answers for their different ways of thinking. For things in common, Chip has been in a new neighborhood for only three months during the summertime. Jonah is familiar with his neighborhood very well because he has been their longer. For adoption differences, Chip always thought he was a non adopted child while later on in life, his father told him that he was adopted. Jonah had already knew that he was adopted because of all of the adoption books.
Me personally, I think that I would more likely be like Chip. Why I say that is because I try to understand what the person is saying, then compare the things that the person said and determine what I should say.
Zowie Anderson From my reading I know that, Chip and Jonah think the same because when they got a letter saying that they were both one of the missing. Then they both thought that it was a prank letter, because seventh grade was all about pranks. According to the text it says that, Chip and Jonah have a good amount of things in common for friends. First, they both like to play basketball together, then they were both adopted, lastly, they are both one of the Missing. From my reading I know that, how Chip and Jonah's adoptions have differed is because Jonah has always known that he was adopted, but on the other hand Chip found out when he was thirteen and his parents never were willing to talk about Chips adoption. Meanwhile, Jonah's parents were always willing to talk about Jonah's adoption.
From the text I know that, Chip And Jonah are very alike they both are adopted they live in the same naborhood because on page 26 it says "Chip was breathing heavily like he'd just ran all the way from is house six driveways down." the both like basketball on page 13 Chip was bouncing the ball against the driveway and Jonah grabbed the ball from him and hit it against the backboard. Their adoptions have differed by Jonah knew about his all his life and Chip never knew about his up until 7th grade and chip got the prank letter to and he took it to his dad and his dad told him about the adoption.
Jason P. Chip and Jonah are the same because they both like to play basketball, they both were adopted, and they both go the same note. Chip likes to really think things out before he does them. Chip likes to know exactly what is going on. Jonah doesn't really think about things before he does them. Jonah is just spur of the moment kind of person. They both have in common that they are one of the missing. The text says they have a good amount of things in common for friends. Their adoptions are different because Chip has just found out e was adopted. Chips parents don't really want to talk about it. Jonah has always known he was adopted. Jonah's parents never minded talking about it.
Great observations about their thinking styles. Which are you more like? Be sure to reread before you post and look for word choice and spelling errors. Keep up the good work!
Brielle Johnson Chip and Jonah have a lot in common. A couple of the things are that they both have in common are they both recieved "prank letters", they both like playing basket ball, and they are both adopted. I know they both got a "prank letter" because it says chip came banging on Jonah's front door saying,"I got one too. One of those letters. About being missing." I also know they like playing basketball because it says they were play-basketball-in-driveway-friends. I know that they were both adopted because it says that Chip stated, "You don't look much like your sister." "Adopted," Jonah said back. Then when Jonah and Chip were talking about the "prank letters" Jonah asked if he was adopted. In the beginning of the next chapter Jonah said why didn't you tell me that this afternoon? Chip then stated I didn't know. There adoptions have differed because Jonah New he has been adopted since he got adopted. Chip just found out that he was adopted. Chip and Jonah think differently. Jonah is more of a who cares person and Chip is more of an uptight kind of person. He lets everything get to him. He also thinks super negative. I think trying to be friends with him would be a little tricky.
Casamaro White Based on what I read, Chip and Jonah have a lot in common. For example, Chip and Jonah play basket ball I know this because in the beginning of chapter 1 it talks about how they were playing basket ball with each other. Another thing Chip and Jonah have in common is that they both got prank letters. I know that Chip and Jonah were sent prank letters because at the end of chapters 1&2 Chip and Jonah got "YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING." letters. From my reading, Chip and Jonah are adopted. According to the text, we learned Jonah was adopted when Chip stated "You don't look much like your sister," and Jonah replied "Adopted,". From my reading, I know that the way Chip and Jonah have handled their adoptions are differently. For example, Jonah has known for ever since his parents have been telling him. Chip on the other hand has just recently learned about his adoption. I know about there adoptions because it stated so in the beginning of the book. Chip learned about his adoption when he went inside his house showed his dad the prank letter and told his dad Jonah was adopted. Then he asked if he was adopted too, and his dad just stood there. Jonah, was different his parents have been talking about how he has been adopted since he can remember. According to the text, Chip and Jonah have different ways of thinking. When Chip thinks he is open minded and thinks negative. Then we got Jonah an easy going guy, who doesn't care much about anything.
Rafe Card Chip is so stressed and determined that he is adopted because his dad never told him. When Chip did ask is when he got the letter that said "you are one of the missing". Chip really wants to know who his real parents are. he is breaking through a save to try to find out.
Rafe, I think this comment belongs to the next blog question. I like that you are using text evidence to explain your answer. Please be sure to have four (4) complete sentences and make sure you double check before you post yoru answer so it is clear to understand. I am a little confused regarding part of this answer.
Addison Hollister Jonah and Chip have many similarities and differences. Both are entering the seventh grade, both got letters saying they are the missing found, and they both like playing basketball. Another similarity is both boys are adopted, but this also comes with differences. Chip thinks being adopted is bad; Jonah is fine with being adopted. Chip won't refer to his parents as his "real parents", while Jonah says real parents are the ones that take care of you, not your "birth parents." Another one of their differences is the fact that they found out about being adopted at different times. Jonah has known ever since his parents got him, but Chip found out recently. Chip's parents never seemed to really want to tell Chip; Jonah's parents, on the other hand, think that it is a good thing to be adopted and had no problem telling him.
Jonah and chip have many things in cumin like they are going to seventh and are very happy to be in seventh grade. Jonah has a sister and chip did not have a sister in the book. Chip's mom and dad did not tell him that he was adopt but Jonah had all redye know that he was adopt. later on Jonah got a letter saying you are one of the missing later that day chip got the same letter then they find out that chip was adopt by looking in a valet at his house. last they find a post it with a number on it with a name James Reardom (513)555-0192 they tried to call it.It raring a lot of times but still no one answer the phone. then chip got mad at his mom and dad then chapter 4 stared.
Chip and Jonah have many things in common. One thing they have in common is, they both enjoy playing basketball. On page 17 I read that Chip wants to make the basketball team. I can infer that he wants to try out because he likes basketball. I can tell Jonah also wants to play basketball because on page 24 the author states that basketball is a no brainier to him. There adoptions are the opposites from each other. Jonah's parents told him that he was adopted when he was able to understand what they were telling him. Chip just learned that he was adopted in chapter 2. Jonah thinks before he speaks. Chip speaks before he can comprehend it. They also both think about different things. Chip thinks about girls and the future. Jonah thinks about the past and present not the future. On page 17 the author states Jonah does not like planning.
Chip and Jonah do not think alike. On page 17, it states that Chip thinks about the future and what is going to happen next, unlike Jonah, who doesn't think about what is going to happen next, and only thinks about basketball and girls. What chip and Jonah both have in common is they are both adopted, and they both like basketball. From my reading, I know that their adoptions are different from each others because, Jonah had always known he was adopted, as for chip he had to process it for a long time and his dad had to tell him he was. Also, Jonah didn't have to be told he was adopted, as for chip, he had to be told he was adopted.
Lainey Hyde Chip and Jonah have a lot in common, for instance they both love basketball. Another example is, Chip and Jonah are both adopted. Jonah always knew he was adopted, Chip just found out that he was adopted from his dad. Chip got a note from the mail and he doesn't know who the letter is from. Jonah got the same letter, but Jonah got it before Chip. The letter said "You are one of the missing", it said so on page 20 and on page 28. Chip doesn't think like Jonah and Jonah doesn't think like Chip. Chip is really energetic and Jonah is calmer. for instance on the first page of chapter 5 it said "Chip shoved hard against Jonah's chest, pushing him away." that was when Chip and Jonah where looking through Chip's mom and dad's safe. While Jonah was calm and trying to calm chip down.
Graycee Tibbals From reading chapters, 1,2and 3 I know that Jonah and Chip share the same interest in basketball.Jonah and Chip were kind on friends that went to get a drink at the Kitten and hung out, but now they are types of friends that hand out each others bedrooms now.Chips first found out that Jonah was first adopted when they where playing basketball,but then later in the book Chip finds out that he was adopted too.Jonah and Chip are different in their adoptions because Jonah new that he was adopted first, and in the other hand Chip had no idea, Chips dad said "he never wanted to talk about in again."But I think that Chips dad could have handled it a little bit better then he did.
Ryan Ramsay What I think Jonah and Chip have in common, is that they have a friendship also they both got a letter that said "You are one of the missing." They are both adopted but chip found out far later than Jonah. Their adoptions differ because, once again chip found out later than Jonah had. It proves this on the last page of chapter 2 it says "Are you adopted?" Jonah whispered "Wordlessly, Chip nodded" proving my point that chip is adopted. Finally, I know that he found out later because in the book it said that Chip always knew that Jonah was adopted, but he thought that he himself wasn't.
Haelie Adams From my reading, I know that in chapters 1,2 and 3 Chip and Jonah share the same interest in basketball.Also, they both got a letter that said "you are one of the missing". They also are both adopted. Chip found out far later than Jonah did that he was adopted. All in all, Chip and Jonah have lots in common.
Haelie Adams To continue what I said before, According to the text, Chip and Jonah's adoptions differed because Chip found out that he was adopted way later than Jonah did.
Chip and Jonah have a lot in common. First of all, they both share the same interest in basketball. Next, they are both the same age and are also adopted. Lastly, Chip and Jonah both have received letters that say, "You are one of the missing." From my reading, I know that Chip and Jonah's adoptions are very similar. The only big difference is that Jonah has known his whole life that he is adopted. His parents always tell him the story of when they got him. Chip, though, has never known he was adopted, until he met Jonah. All in all, Chip and Jonah have a lot in common, even though their adoptions are different.
Clayton Rigney Chip and Jonah are both adopted. The difference between their adoptions are Jonah knew he was adopted and his parents were there to expalin what he was going through. Chip was adopted and never knew about it. Chip's dad said he never wanted to talk about it again.
According to the text, Chip and Jonah do have some things in common but also have differences. Chip and Jonah are both adopted. From my reading, Jonah knew that he was adopted from the start but Chip just learned that he was adopted. Jonah knows lots about being adopted and he knows the correct terms. But Chip was not taught the same way as Jonah. Chip's parents hid the fact that he was adopted and moved on. Based on what I've read, I can tell that Jonah is okay with being adopted. Although when Chip was told he was adopted he did not react well. He was acting as if he just committed a murder. Just from reading those few chapters I know that Jonah was a calm person but Chip was very worried and anxious about his situation.
Based on the text, I know that Jonah and Chip have things in common, but they also have many differences. For example, Jonah's parents told him that he was adopted way before Chip moved into the neiborhood. Chip found our later in the book. They're also different because they aren't both that sporty.They are simular because they both wanted to know more about what there parents are like and who they are, they wanted to find out more about the adotion.
Based on the chapters 1-3, I know Chip and Jonah are similar to each other. For example they both like basketball, they are adopted and live in the same neighborhood. They also both want to learn more about their parents and their adoption. From my reading, I know that they don’t think alike. For example when Jonah got the note reading "YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING", he just thought it was a prank. When Chip got the same letter he was freaking out about it. The two different ways Chip and Jonah found out their were adopted was very different. Jonah had always known about him being adopted and his parents talk about it all the time. Chip found out when he was in seventh grade and it came up when Chip told his dad about the note. His dad told Chip he never wanted to talk about it again.
Sarah Polish From my reading I know that Chip and Jonah are alike in many ways. For example, Chip and Jonah both have a like for basketball, and they are both adopted. Receiving the letter that stated the sentence, "YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING." is something they have in common. They also both live in the same neighborhood. Based on what I read Chip and Jonah think different from one another. Chip has a crush on Jonah's younger sister, but Jonah doesn't think his sister is all that great. I can tell that Jonah doesn't think his sister is all that great because they call each other nicknames that annoy each other, and that leads to tension between them. Chip and Jonah also think differently because they both reacted differently when they received their letters. Chip freaked out because his letter led to knowing he was adopted, but Jonah didn't freak out. He just told himself that the letter was a prank. Chip and Jonah's adoptions have differed because Jonah knew about his adoption for a long time, and Chip just found out. Chip took being adopted very seriously. When Chip found out he was adopted his "dad" didn't make anything better. Chip wanted to know more about his birth parents but his dad told him he never wanted to talk about this again. Jonah's parents did not do that to him. They bought Jonah books about adoption, but, alas, those books got boring so he read the adoption books his parents had.
Anna Springfield According to the first few chapters I know that Chip and Jonah have many things in common. One example is that both Chip and Jonah are in seventh grade. This is a pretty important aspect because people who are in the same grade think alike and they both seem to like the same things. The bulk of the thinks they have in common are they both like basketball, they were both adopted, they both received the same letter, and they live in the same neighborhood. Some of the ways that Chip and Jonah's adoptions have differed are that Jonah and his parents have a good relationship and they are very open with each other but, with Chip, he does not seem as open with his parents and does not have a very good relationship. Chip's parents kept the secret that he was adopted and there is a very high chance that there is a lot he does not know still. That is much more different with Jonah and his family they are very close and Jonah knows all about his adoption. Jonah's family always sits together a the table for dinner but Chip was at Jonah's hose so that means he probably does not always sit with his family at dinner.
Based on what I read, Jonah and Chip have many things in common. For example, the book tells us that they are both in seventh grade, they both play basketball, they live near each other, and they both received the same letter. However, the way they responded to the letters was very different. Jonah didn't believe it was true, just some prank. But Chip freaked out, because he believed it was true. Also, their adoptions, to me, are very different. When Jonah was adopted, he was told. His family is close and spends a lot of time together. Meanwhile, Chip's parents kept the fact that he was adopted a secret. This to me shows that Chip doesn't really talk to his parents and that his parents aren't very open with him.
Levi Johnson According to chapters one two and three, Chip and Jonah have similar interests and lives. Chip and Jonah both like basketball, are in the same grade,both don't no who there birth parents are, don't no where the from and both have revived a "You Are One of the Missing" letters. The differentiation's between Jonah's and Chip's adoption are that Jonah's parents let him no that he was adopted and Chip's parents didn't.
Jessalyn Lewis From my reading I know that Chip and Jonah are very similar in many ways, and different in many ways. A couple examples that Jonah and Chip are similar is that they both like basketball, they live on the same street, they are both in seventh grade, they both received one of the letters that states that they are one of the missing, neither of them know who their birth parents are, and they are both adopted. They think alike because they are about the same age and in the same grade. Their adoptions are different because Jonah's parents told him all about his adoption from the very beginning and will talk about his adoption whenever Jonah would like. Jonah's parents also seem to have a close relationship with their son. They seem like a very close family and that they will talk to each other openly. Chip's parents did the opposite. Chip found out that he was adopted as a baby when he was in the seventh grade. Chip doesn't have a good relationship with his parents. He seems like he won't be open to them and that they are a distant family, a family that never talks to each other. His parents also stated that they never want to talk about his adoption ever again. I know this because in the text it says, " My dad said-" Chip choked, swallowed hard, tried again,"- My dad said I didn't need to know anything else. He said he never wanted to talk about this again."
Avery Paul Based on what I read, both of the boys like to play basketball and they were both adopted. I also know that they are close in age because the book states that they are both in 7th grade. They also live in the same neighborhood. There adoptions differed because, Jonah knows that he is adopted but Chip doesn’t know that he is adopted.
Ruby Hiskett According to my reading I know that, Chip and Jonah are different and similar in many ways. For instance they both like basketball, but Chip is very sure that Jonah should sign up, but Jonah doesn’t feel the same way. I also know that they around the same age because they are both in seventh grade. They both did receive the same letter, and live on the same street. They both have completely different families too. Jonahs family decided to tell him that he was adopted at a young age and told him everything that they knew about his adoption, but Chips family didn’t want to tell him at all and, never want to talk about it. The text states “-my dad said I didn’t need to know anything else. He said he never wanted to talk about this again.”
Chip and Jonah have a lot in common, such as they are both being adopted, but one major thing they don't have in common is their parents. For example Jonah's parents care a lot about how Jonah acts and love him very much, but Chip's parents seem to have very high demanding jobs and think that their jobs are more important than their very own son. Chip and Jonah also have very different opinions when it comes to the adoption process. In Chips mind his parents tricked him into being there son. In Jonahs mind his parents did it the right way by the book and that there is nothing wrong with being adopted. -Macray O'Neill
Gabriella Stiehl. Chip and Jonah have very much in common. I believe this because they both like basketball, they are both adopted, and they both have different lives from other people. I know this because in chapters two through three, it talks about how Jonah and Chip are adopted and that they play basketball a lot. They are different because Chip didn't know he was adopted till now, but Jonah knew he was adopted from the beginning. I know this because in chapter three it talks about that Chip just found out that he was adopted and now he's really mad about it.
Ava Ekins-Faught According to chapters two and three, Chip and Jonah both like to play basketball and they are both adopted. I think they are the same age because it said they were both in 7th grade and they both got the same letter which said “You are one of the missing.” When Jonah got the letter he and Chip thought that it was just a prank, but then Chip got the same letter. Their adoptions differ because Jonah knew that he was adopted but Chip didn’t. When Chip found out he was adopted he was very mad!!
Carter Paul Based on what I read in chapters one, two, and three Chip and Jonah have a few things in common for example in chapter one it states that they are both in seventh grade. According to the text in chapter one it states that Chip and Jonah were playing basketball so that tells me that they both enjoy playing basketball. Some other things they have in common are they are both adopted but Jonah was told that he was adopted and he know for years, but Chip’s parents didn’t tell him until he told his dad about Jonah’s letter. Based on chapter two and three it one more thing that they have in common is that the both got the letter that says, “ YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING.”
Daniel Chakwin chip and Jonah are similar in ways such as: their both seventh graders, they both got one of the letters that say "you are one of the missing", they play basketball, and they're both adopted. i have a prediction because in the prologue that there were thirty-six babies on a plane so i'm guessing that the missing were all adopted and they were the babies on the plane
Based on my reading, I know Chip and Jonah have a lot of differences and a lot of similarities. One way they are different is that Jonah has known about being adopted while Chip finds out in the third chapter. They are also different because Jonah is fine about his adoption and Chip is freaking out. Chip and Jonah have many things in common like, they were adopted and they both enjoy playing basketball. When Jonah received his letter saying, "you are one of the missing" he thought it was a prank. When Chip got the same letter as Jonah he also though it was a prank, this is another similarity. Jonah and Chip are similar in age because they are both in seventh grade.
According to what I read Chip and Jonah have a lot in common. One is that they both play basketball and they were both adopted. I know this because according to the book in page 11 and 12 it said "You don't look much like your sister," Chip said, bouncing the basketball low against the driveway. Jonah waited to answer until he'd darted his hand in and stolen the basketball away. Chip and Jonah's adoptions differ because Jonah was told he was adopted from the beginning and Chip wasn't told he was adopted until he got the letter.
Chip and Jonah are the same because they both play basketball. In the book it says "Man, he said, you're going to make the basketball team for sure." and "Chip said bouncing the basketball low against the driveway." Another thing they have in common is they are both in seventh grade. They think different because Chip is a planner and Jonah is not. In the text it says, "But even if I make it in seventh and eighth grades, then there's high school to deal with. Whoa. And then there’s college, and being a grown-up.... It’s all pretty scary, don't you think? You forgot about planning you're funeral, Jonah said. What? You know if you're going to get all worried about being a grown-up you might as well figure out what’s going to happen when you're ninety years old and die. Personally Jonah didn't like to plan anything." Their adoptions are different because Jonah has known his whole life that he was adopted and Chip didn't. On page 31 it says, "I told you I was adopted why didn't you tell me? I didn't know!! Chip exploded"
Aubrey Vaughn Jonah and Chip are very similar, but they are also different from each other. A few things that are similar about Jonah and Chip are that they both like to play basketball, they are both adopted, and they both got the strange letter that said that "you are one of the missing". They both thought that it was a prank at first. A big difference between Chip and Jonah is the way that the feel about being adopted. Chip didn't know that he was adopted until he was in seventh grade when he got the same letter as Jonah did and asked his dad if he was adopted. Chip freaked out when he found out that he was adopted. Jonah had known that he was adopted from a young age so he didn't think it was a big deal. So far, Chip has been the one who freaks out- like when he continued to ring the door bell after the door had been opened- while Jonah is more calm and tries to make Chip feel better- like when he told Chip that even though his parents were not his birth parents they are the ones who did things like change his diaper and teach him how to ride a bike.
Chip and Jonah have a lot in common as in they both like to play basketball, they are both adopted and they both received a letter stating "you one of the missing". They both thought that it was a prank at first. They both have their differences as well, like how they found out they were adopted. Jonah asked his dad if he was adopted and Chip didn't know that he was adopted until seventh grade. I predict they are same age, same grade and go to the same school.
Chip and Jonah have a lot in common, first they both like to play basketball outside. The second reason is because they received a letter in the mail written on it had six typewritten words saying '' YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING''. The third reason is because they are both adopted but Chip didn't know that he was adopted till chapter three. They both have been adopted differently Chip didn't know until he got a letter came in the mail. After he read the letter Chip remembered that Jonah got that same letter but he thought that he wasn't adopted. He takes a minute to think about it then he goes inside and still curious asks his dad ''Am I adopted?'' Chips dad confesses and admits that he is actually adopted! While Jonah was adopted and knew that he was adopted his whole entire life and Chip found out just recently. Chip has been thinking about it non-stop ever since and even knocked on the door in the middle of dinner just to talk about it.
According to my reading in chapter one close to the end of the chapter. It states that in the mail Jonah got a letter saying "YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING." and Jonah just thought that it was just a prank. Then in chapter three it says that Chip also got a letter stating that he is adopted. Thing Jonah and chip have in common here that they both enjoyed playing basketball. most likely both where about the same age and went to the same middle school. There adoption are different. First off is that Jonah always knew that he was adopted. But Chip didn't know about his adoption until now. That was spoken mostly in chapter three.
Jonah's adoption is different from Chip's because Jonah has known his whole life that he was adopted and Chip has just found out that he was adopted. They both got a letter that quoted "You are one of the missing" at the end of Chapter 2. Jonah thought it was a prank but Chip was taking it seriously. Jonah and Chip are alike because they both like to play basketball and they are both adopted.
Chip and Jonah have similarities and differences. One thing that the both have in common is that they are both adopted. They also both like basketball, and they both got letters saying YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING. Chip and Jonah adoptions are different because Chip knew he was adopted and Jonah didn’t know he was adopted until the day he got his letter saying YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING. In chapter 1 page 20 it stated that Jonah was told to get the mail. He saw his name on a letter and he then opened it. When he read the letter is said “YOU ARE ON OF THE MISSING.” These are only a few similarities and differences between Chip and Jonah.
Madison Lewis Chip and Jonah have a lot of similarities and differences, some of their similarities are that Chip and Jonah are both adopted and they both like playing basketball, they are both in 7th grade, they both were getting notes like "you are one of the missing" and when they both got the note they just assumed it was a prank. Though they are both adopted they both found out at different times like Jonah had known since he was a kid but Chip had just found out and was freaking out about the news. Another difference is that Chip's parents don't want to talk about Chip’s adoption, in the text it says “-my dad said I didn’t need to know anything else. He said he never wanted to talk about this again”. Jonah's parents are very open and will answer any of Jonah's questions, they even bought a couple of books to help with some of the teenage adoption questions. Jonah doesn’t think that adoption is a big deal but Chip thinks it is, for example when Chip first found out that he was adopted he ran to Jonah’s house and was ringing the doorbell even when the door was open.
Raegynn Mayhue In my opinion, Chip and Jonah think very differently from each other; for example, in chapter three, Jonah said to Chip, “Adoption is normal. It’s been part of human society for centuries.” Also, in chapter three, Chip said to Jonah, “Mom and Dad never told me anything! All this time I thought my parents were my real parents.” Jonah and Chip have a few things in common; first, they are both adopted, second, both boys are in the seventh grade, and third, the boys both like to play basketball. Chip and Jonah’s adoptions have differed because Chip didn’t know that he was adopted and Jonah knew he was adopted.
Sofia Utz I think that Chip and Jonah think very, very differently. In chapter three, Jonah said that "Adoption is a completely normal thing, and that it has been happening for many years". In chapter three, the author stated that from Chips experience, his parents never told him that he was adopted, but for Jonah, they told him he was adopted and it was a wonderful thing. Their adoptions were very different for Chip's parents never told him he was adopted, and that he thought they were his real parents, by the sounds of it, Chips parents didn't want him to know, so they might have been ashamed of it. But for Jonah, they told him he was adopted and wasn't ashamed to say that. Chip and Jonah are a lot alike because they're both males, they're both in 7th grade, they both like Basketball, and they were both adopted.
Ben Utz I think that the way Jonah and Chip think is very different. The way Jonah thinks about adoption is that it's perfectly normal, I know this because in chapter 3 on page 32 he says that adoption is normal and that it has been apart of society for centuries. The way Chip thinks about it is that being adopted sucks, and that the people who adopt you are total strangers. I know this because in chapter 3 on page 31 he said that his parents were total strangers to him, after his dad said that Chip was adopted. All the ways they are alike are that they both like basket ball, they are both in 7th grade, and they were both adopted.
From reading chapters one, two and three, I know that Jonah and Chip are both similar and different in various ways. For example, Jonah and Chip are similar because they both enjoy the sport of basketball, go to 7th grade, are adopted and received the same letter. The way the react to this is different, though. Based on what I read in chapter 2, I know that when Jonah received the letter, he assumed that it was a prank. But when Chip got it in the mail, he thought it was true, having seen Jonah get the letter earlier. As for adoption, Jonah thinks it is normal, because his parents taught him that way, while Chip isn't found of it, because his parents don't talk to him as much about adoption.
Bryce Adams Chip and Jonah have A lot in common. From what I have in chapters 1, 2, and 3 Chip and Jonah are very alike and they are also very different at the same time. First of all both of them like to play basketball. Second Jonah's family does not really talk about him being adopted. On the other hand he got a let that said you are one of the missing. For the first few minutes Jonah thought that it was a joke. Chip's family does not really talk about his adoption.
Chip and Jonah have similarities and differences. For example, they both like playing basketball but Chip is worse at it then Jonah. Another example is their appearances. The book mentions that Chip has curly blonde hair. Earlier in the book it states, "and as a baby all that brown hair" they had different colored hair but both had curly hair. Their adoptions differed because even though they were both adopted, Jonah's parents told him he was adopted. Chip didn't know he was adopted until he asked his dad. Another difference about their adoptions is that Jonah doesn't think it's a big deal and is okay with it. Chip didn't take it very well.
Preston Kelsey According to The Missing Found, Chip and Jonah are both adopted. Also they are both in seventh grade. A different thing about them is that they did not find out the same way that they are adopted. Chip found that out when he got the letter that said "YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING". Jonah know that he was adopted for a long time. Also they both got the same letter in the mail. they both like to play basketball.
Chip and Jonah have a lot in common such as they are boat thirteen. another they have in common is that they are boat adopted.Chips and Jonahs adoptions differ by Jonah knew he was adopted and Chip didn't know. their adoptions also differ because Jonah has a step sister.
From my reading I know that, both Chip and Jonah have many moments where they think or act alike. For example, they are both adopted. However, just because they're both adopted doesn't mean they don't live their lives differently. One thing that is not the same among the two is how they're parents act about adoption. Chip's parents aren't too fond or very open about talking about adoption while Jonah's parents always try to talk to him and make him feel like he belongs. Other obvious things can differ between them. For example, the way they act, the way they look, and so on
From my reading, I now understand the meaning of the first three chapters in the book, "The Missing Found" by Margret P. Haddix. I would like to start this off with how the boys are alike. Jonah and Chip are alike because they both are adopted and like to play basket ball. However, with similarities comes differences. The boys differed by Jonah knowing he's adopted, but Chip does not. Also, Jonah has a sibling whereas Chip does not.
Chip and Jonah are similar in many ways, for example, they both enjoy basketball, they both are in seventh grade, they both get creepy letters, and they both are adopted. Jonah is excellent at basketball though Chip could improve at the sport. The difference in the basketball skills was written in chapter one, page 16, states “it went in cleanly-the perfect shot.” it also states “Man,” he said “you are going to make the team for sure.” which is inferring that Jonah is really good at basketball, however, Chip was not so sure of his ability. They both think in very similar ways, for example they both got the letter that read “YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING”. Their reasoning for the letter was that it was a seventh grade prank. Lastly Chip and Jonah are similar by both being adopted. Jonah has always known that he was adopted and if he ever gets curious about his adoption he can ask questions, but Chip just found out and is not allowed to talk to his parents about being adopted. He is very curious and would love to know more.
Jonah thinks that his adoptions are simple or easy because he already knows that he is adopted and knows what to do, but for Chip it is very difficult because he didn't know that he was adopted "yet" and he panics when he finds out unlike Jonah he has no idea what he needs to do. What Chip and Jonah have in common is that they are both adopted, are both teenagers, got the same scary mysterious letter that said, "You are one of the Missing" in their mailbox and, they like playing basketball with each other almost every day before or after school. Chip and Jonah didn’t get the letters on the same day; they got it on different days. Evidence from the book: On page 20, Jonah got the letter and then on page 28, Chip had said he got the same letter as Jonah had got in the mail. Their adoptions are different in many ways because Jonah's parents talk about it all the time by giving him books and papers and Chip's family kept it a secret from him for thirteen years without saying one word about anything about Chip's adoption. When Chip asked his parents where he came from and why he wanted to know more they said they never ever want to talk about it again. Then Jonah never bothers asking his parents about his adoptions a lot because his parent mentions it every day ever since they adopted him because they say it was some sort of a miracle when they adopted him.
According to the text, Chip and Jonah have a lot in common. Some things they have in common are they are both adopted, they both like basketball, and they are both in 6th grade. The text also says that their adoptions are differed. Their adoptions are differed because Jonah's family talk to him about adoption and try to make him feel better, but Chip's parents don't talk about adoption very much. They think differently, because Jonah doesn't think much about about adoption, but Chip thinks about it and hates that he was adopted.
The way Jonah thinks about his adoption is very basic because he already knew that he was adopted. While the way Chip thinks about his adoption is difficult because he never knew that he was adopted. (Until his so-called father told him that he was adopted at the end of chapter 2.) The things that Chip and Jonah have in common are that they are both adopted, they both like to play basketball, and they got letters that say “You are one of the missing.” (Chip got the letter on page 28 and Jonah got the letter on page 20.), and they are both in seventh grade. How Jonah adoption differ from Chip adoption is because when Jonah young Jonah adopted parents kept saying the story that it would be years and years and years before they get a baby, then the call came out of the blue- The week before Christmas. (It says that on page 15.) And for Chip his family was keeping it a secret because they didn't think Chip was ready the know yet.
Caden McKnight From my reading I know that both Chip and Jonah are adopted but they have very different opinions about it. Jonah’s parents told him that he was adopted when he was very little and he has always been okay with that. In fact he almost likes being adopted. Chip just recently learned that he was adopted, and is mad at his parents for not telling him sooner.
In my opinion, Jonah thinks peacefully and maturely. In the text Jonah thought maturely when Chip told Jonah that he was adopted, he reacted calmly and talked to Chip. Jonah thinks peacefully about his adoption. Jonah thinks of his adoption not as a big deal because he has known about his adoption for a long time. This makes Jonah a peaceful thinker cause he has excepted his adoption and the different reasons his parents may had to abandon him. To support my explanation according to the text The Missing Found, " I told you I was adopted- why didn't you tell me?" " I didn't know !" Chip exploded. His whole face turned red. "Mom and dad never told me anything! All this time I thought my parents were my real parents-- " " They're still your real parents, " Jonah corrected automatically. " In my opinion Jonah thinks rashly and without a filter. In the text, Chip thought rashly near the end of the chapters when Chip found out that he was adopted. He went to Jonah's house and freaked out and wondered why his parents abandoned him. To support this claim, According to the text The Missing Found, " I didn't know !" Chip exploded. His whole face turned red. "Mom and dad never told me anything! All this time I thought my parents were my real parents-- " "Chip thought without a filter when he asked Jonah if Jonah could date his sister since they weren't related by blood. Chip and Jonah have a lot in common for example that they both are boys that are in seventh grade and they both were adopted. Chip and Jonah's adoptions are different because Jonah has known about his adoption, and Chip just has learned about his adoption.
Chip and Jonah have a lot in common. One thing they both like to do is play basketball. In the text it says, "This was strange too because Chip had never been in Jonah's room before. They were play-basketball-in-the-driveway-and-maybe-come-into-the-kitchen-for-a-drink-of-water friends, not let's-go-hang-out-in-my-room friends." This tells me that they are the kind of friends that like to play games together, but they don't sit and talk just for the sake of being together. From my reading, I know that Chip wants Jonah to play basketball. Chip and Jonah think alike because when they both got a letter saying, “You are one of the Missing,” they both thought it was a prank letter. They did not think it was a big deal. Chip and Jonah’s adoptions differed because Jonah was told he was adopted the whole time while Chip was not told until he got his letter. Chip was very angry.

DeleteI don't think Chip and Jonah think the same at all. One very big aspect about Chip and Jonah is that they are both adopted. Another aspect is, both of the friends don't know that much about their real parents. Both friends got strange letters saying, "You are one of the missing!" and, "THEY'RE COMING BACK TO GET YOU!". One aspect Jonah and Chip's adoptions differ is, Chip was lied to about not being adopted his whole life, while on the other hand, Jonah knew that he was adopted his whole life.
Chip and Jonah have many similarities, along with many differences. I know this because They are both adopted, although Jonah has known ever since he was adopted. Chip's parents didn't tell him until he was in the seventh grade, and I gather that they didn't plan to tell him for a long time, if ever. I think this because Chip's parents hadn't told him anything until he actually asked. I believe that they were just going to live acting like Chip wasn't adopted. Chip had asked, so his father told him that Chip was adopted. Chip and Jonah also have pretty different ways of acting and thinking. It might just be this way because so far, you only get a view from Jonah's mind and not Chip's, but Jonah seems to have more respect than Chip. I know this because Chip seems to be the kind of person who says whatever comes to mind, and Jonah seems to think about what he should say more often. I know this because in the text, when Chip tells Jonah about his conversation with his father, it says, "'You know, there are lots of reasons people can't take care of their own kids,' Jonah said cautiously." Jonah makes sure that whatever he says won't cause any trouble, and what Chip says seems not to bother Jonah, but make him question Chip. Overall, Jonah just seems like a good kid, who is not snotty and annoying. Chip seems like a good kid too, just not as respectful.
ReplyDeletegreat observations and use of text evidence!

DeleteNice evidence from the text. You really understand how Chip and Jonah think.

ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah have many things in common they also have a lot of differences. They both like to play basket ball, they got the same letter saying "you are one of the missing." some differences between them are Jonah knew his whole life that he was adopted and chip found out in seventh grade. Jonah was eating dinner when chip rang the doorbell he rang the doorbell a couple more times when Jonah finally answered the door. The two boys went up to Jonah's room in his room Jonah kept reassuring chip that he would be able to find his birth parents when he was older.

DeleteChip and Jonah have many things in common, they also have a lot of differences. Such as, they both play basketball. chip is not a close friend, just a friend. another thing they have in common is they are both adopted children. It has been difficult for Jonah ever sense he discovered he was adopted. One day, they got the same letter. Chip rudely rang the door bell more than once, repeatedly. Interrupting dinner, Jonah took chip to his room. Jonah thought he would find his true parents in time.

ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah have a lot of similarities. One thing that I know that they both like to do is play basketball.I know that they liked to play basketball because they were friends and they weren't the type of friends that would go hang-out in their room or sit and talk type of friends, they were the type of friends that would like to play games with each other. Another thing that they have in common is they were both adopted. Jonah knew that she was adopted ever since it happened. Chip didn't know that he was adopted until he was in seventh grade. When he found that he was adopted his whole life he was very angry.
Why do you think he was so angry? Would you be angry if it was you?
DeleteLily Pinson
ReplyDeleteFrom my reading, I know that Chip is the type of person who thinks and takes things sometimes to far. He also seems to over react sometimes. As for when he found out that he was adopted, he started to get really worried. Jonah seems like the type of person that will think about things until he figures them out. He will stay calm and try to calm down his friends too. One thing they have in common though, is that they are both adopted. They also love to play basket ball. Though with their adoptions, it was a different story. First of all, Jonah had known that he was adopted his whole life and had always stayed calm about it. If I were Chip and had figured it out at his age, I would have honestly over reacted too. I have a prediction though. In the prologue, there was a plane full of babies. I have the feeling that since Chip and Jonah both received a letter from someone unidentified, that they were both at least one baby off of that plane.
I believe you have very high deduction powers! I think this because of your insightful prediction.
DeleteChip and Jonah are very different but also very similar from what I have read. Chip is a person that questions most things and overthinks them. In the text Chip asks. "Do you ever wonder what's going to happen?" "I mean, I really, really want to make the basketball team. But even if I make it in seventh and eighth graders, then there's high school to deal with. Whoa. And then there's college, and being a grown-up... It's all pretty scary, don't you think?". Jonah seems very calm, he doesn't overthink most things and wants to live in the present. We also learn this from when Chip is in his room, he tries to explain things to him like birth parents, and real parents. Chip and Jonah are similar because we learned that they are both sensitive about their adoptions. In the yard when Jonah finds his "Prank letter" he rips it into pieces. When Chip found this "Prank letter" he ran to Jonah's house and asked for help, he banged on Jonah's door and was freaking out about the whole thing, because that was the time where Chip found out that he was adopted. But I have a theory that Jonah and Chip are one of those babies on the plane that we learned about in the prologue. So we can guess that there is probably many other "You are one of the missing letters"
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think! Great deduction and prediction.

ReplyDeleteFrom my reading I know that Chip has a different way of thinking then Jonah. I know this because Chip so far just likes to say everything that comes to mind and overreact to things instead of thinking things through like Jonah does. Jonah has more respect for what he says so that he doesn't hurt others feelings and so that he doesn't cause any sort of issue. They both seem really kind and nice but Chip doesn't seem to have as much respect as Jonah. I found out in the beginning that both of them like basketball. During a game of basketball Jonah received a letter from an unknown sender saying he was one of the missing. Jonah fist thought that it could've been something serious, but then he thought it was just a awful prank about him being adopted. From this I think that Jonah is more kindhearted and serious, but doesn't liked to be teased about his adoption. When Chip found out that he was adopted he was really mad. Chip had also seemed kind of scared because in the text Chip tries to tell Jonah that he is adopted but is overwhelmed with the fact that he is adopted. He was so overwhelmed that he couldn't do anything but nod to the question that Jonah asked. Jonah had known his whole life that he was adopted, but Chip has just found out in seventh grade.

DeleteYou make some great observations. Do you think Chip will be able to adjust to his news? What might help him?
DeleteChip and Jonah both like playing basketball because at the beginning of the book they are playing basketball. Chip and Jonah don't think pranks are funny. The reason I know they both don't think pranks are funny is because in the book it says "We think pranks aren't funny" said Chip. Chip and Jonah's adoptions are different because Chip's parents are mentioned all the time and Jonah's parents aren't mentioned at all.

ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah don't think alike because Chip thinks that the letter was not a prank, and Jonah thinks it was a prank. Chip and Jonah have little things in common, they both like basketball and hanging out together. Their adoptions have differed by, Chip had never knew that he was adopted. Jonah had known about his adoption (his parents told him).

ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah do not think alike because when Jonah receives his letter that says you are one of the missing he says "Just a prank , I guess." but, when Chip receives his letter he goes to his dad and asks if he is adopted and his dad told him yes. The reason I think Chip and Jonah think different is because Chip takes the letter seriously but, Jonah does not. What Chip and Jonah have in common is they like playing basketball and they are both adopted. Jonah's adoption is different than Chip's adoption because Johnah knew about his adoption his whole life but, Chip did not know about his adoption until he was 13.
I like your use of text evidence! Good thinking skills, too.

ReplyDeleteFrom reading chapters 1,2,and 3 I know that Jonah and chip share the same interest in basketball. Jonah and Chip were the kind friends that play basketball and sometimes go in the kitten to get a drink and now they are the type of friends who go and hang out in their bedrooms. Chip had first found out that Jonah was adopted when they were playing basketball, and then later in the book Chip found out that he was adopted too. Jonah and Chip adoption is different because Jonah had already knew about being adopted, on the other hand Chip had no idea he was adopted. Chip’s Dad said that he never wanted to talk about it again.
Do you think Chip's dad should have handled it differently? Good summary and thinking.
DeleteAccording to the text Janah have many things in common. Like they both like playing baskeball because they where playing basketball in a drive way.Anotherway they are related is they are both adopted. The way they are different is chip reacts different when he found out they where adoped. chip started tofreak out and jonah didnt care.

ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah have many things in common but they also think different sometimes. Chip overthinks things and sometimes speaks before thinking. Jonah is more the type to think and be respectful before he speaks.
They both have a lot in common. One thing they have in common is they like to play basketball. They are also in the same grade. And they both were adopted.
Jonah has always known that he was adopted. His parents told him when he was little. Chip just found out that he was adopted. He was furious about the news from his parents. He was very upset that all this time he thought his parents were his real parents and now they are just strangers.
How would you feel if that same thing happened to you?
Deletedo you think Chip is overreacting? Good detail and clear writing here.
Parker Jones
DeleteI would be shocked and sad if I found out I was adopted. I don't think Chip is over reacting. I would probably be doing the same things because I would want to know the truth. I'm glad I'm not in Chip's shoes.
Abril Ugalde
ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah have in common that they both are adopted, they both go the same school in seventh grade, and they both like basketball so far in the book. Chip and Jonah differ because Jonah is more calm the Chip, and Chip is more enthusiastic.
Their adoptions are differant because Jonah knew that he was adopted from the very start, and Chip only found out recently about his adoption because he got a note that said, "you are one of the missing" and asked his dad about it. Their adoptions also are differant because Jonah was always been cool with it, and accepted it. On the other hand, Chip has been a wreak ever since he found out, and he calls his parents strangers now.
Do you feel sorry for Chip? What would you do?
DeletePlease be sure to use periods to avoid run-on sentences. good thoughts.

DeleteI do feel sorry for Chip. I would be mad at my parents for not telling me I was adopted, even after 13 years. Even if I would be mad, I would not go crazy like Chip has or called my parents strangers.
Thane Horton
ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah are similar but they can also be different occasinally. They both like basketball and they both are adopted. chip thinks before he talks and he overthinks and sometimes chip just needs to calm down. like in chapter three when he finds out he is adopted and then he's furious and He says that his adopted parents just complete strangers to him now. Where as Jonah always new that he was adopted and had books that his adopted parents gave him. Jonah also knows to think before he speaks. Their adoptions are also different because Jonah always knew and Chip just found out and chip isn't as respectful as Jonah.
Do you like both of them? I like your analysis---very perceptive thinking. Be sure to capitalize Chip's name and use periods to avoid run-on sentences.

DeleteI thought that this was a great summery. I don't think that you should have said "they can be different occasionally" you should have said they are different because. I also agree that Chip is not as respectful as Jonah about his adoption. I agree that Chip needs to think before he speaks.

ReplyDeleteFrom my reading I know that chip and Jonah have there differences and they have there similarities weather it is how they think or how they where adopted. some things that Chip and Jonah have in common are they both love sports like basket ball I know this because in chapter one it talks about them playing basket ball all the time. They both are in the same grad, I know this because in the book it talks about how they are both in 7th grad. and last they both are adopted and I know that because in the book both Jonah and chip get a not that said "you are one of the missing and when chip came home to how his dad his dad told him he was adopted. Also Jonah all ready new he was adopted so he did not think it was that big of a deal.

ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah have similarities and they have differences. What they have in common is that they both like playing basket ball. I know that because in the beginning they where both playing basket ball outside. Another thing that they have in common is that they both are adopted. I know that because in the 1st chapter it said Jonah was adopted. Then in the second chapter it said Chip was adopted. Something else that they have in common is that they are both in the same grade. They are both in the 7th grade. I know that because in chapter one it said that they where in the 7th grade. Those where the similarities I saw, but there is also differences. For example they both think differently. For example, Jonah thinks that your real parents are the ones who take care of you and Chip thinks that you real parents are your birth parents. There adoptions are also different. They are different because Jonah knew he was adopted and Chip just found out he was adopted.
What do you think makes real parents? I like the chapter references to your evidence. nice work.

ReplyDeleteFrom my reading I know that Chip and Jonah have things in common. For example, they both like basketball. In chapter 1 and 2 it said that they both are adopted. They both got the same letter that said, “You are one of the missing”. Another example is, that they both are in seventh grade. I know this because chapter 1 stated that they were in seventh grade. In chapter one it said they both live in the same neighborhood. Chip and Jonah also have differences. For instance, Jonah’s parents told him he was adopted and Chip’s parents didn’t tell him he was adopted. I know that because chapters 1 and 2. One more difference is that Chip thinks your real parents are your birth parents, and Jonah thinks his real parents are the parents that take care of you. I know this because it said it in chapter 3.
What do you think makes real parents? I like that you reference your evidence with the chapters. nice work.
DeleteFrom my reading I know that Chip and Jonah are alike in many ways. On page fourteen we find out that they both like basketball, and the both were adopted. Jonah and Chip are different because of their adoptions, for instance, Chip finds out he's adopted when he's thirteen. Jonah has always known he was adopted. I know this because in chapter three Jonah tries to calm Chip down, but Chip is really mad and he can't control himself because he is filled with anger and rage so he pounded his fists against the door. Jonah tries to calm him down by saying, "There are lots of reasons people can't take care of their kids. Then he says, "Maybe your birth parents died and that's why you were adopted." They're also different because Chip just randomly says things without really thinking like, "My parents are complete strangers." Chip seems to be more of a negative person, because he thinks his birth parents abandoned him, while Jonah always thinks positive, and can see the good in a situation. I think it would be really hard to be friends with someone that negative.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think, Holden! I like that you are positive and that you used text evidence correctly. Did you read the prologue? Any thoughts about it?
DeleteJonah and Chips' experiences with adoption have been complete opposite. Jonah's experience has been open with honesty and trust. His parents have given him text books to help him understand his adoption. Chip, on the other hand, has just found out that he was adopted. He has feelings of betrayal by his adoptive parents. In the reading, Chip comments that his parents are total strangers to him right now.

Brandon Calkins,
ReplyDeleteChip takes longer time to compare and define questions and answers. Although, Jonah takes shorter time to find the answers to questions. These are my answers for their different ways of thinking. For things in common, Chip has been in a new neighborhood for only three months during the summertime. Jonah is familiar with his neighborhood very well because he has been their longer. For adoption differences, Chip always thought he was a non adopted child while later on in life, his father told him that he was adopted. Jonah had already knew that he was adopted because of all of the adoption books.
Are you more like Chip or Jonah in the way you think? nice job. Be sure to use periods to avoid run-on sentences.
DeleteBrandon Calkins,
DeleteMe personally, I think that I would more likely be like Chip. Why I say that is because I try to understand what the person is saying, then compare the things that the person said and determine what I should say.
Zowie Anderson
ReplyDeleteFrom my reading I know that, Chip and Jonah think the same because when they got a letter saying that they were both one of the missing. Then they both thought that it was a prank letter, because seventh grade was all about pranks. According to the text it says that, Chip and Jonah have a good amount of things in common for friends. First, they both like to play basketball together, then they were both adopted, lastly, they are both one of the Missing. From my reading I know that, how Chip and Jonah's adoptions have differed is because Jonah has always known that he was adopted, but on the other hand Chip found out when he was thirteen and his parents never were willing to talk about Chips adoption. Meanwhile, Jonah's parents were always willing to talk about Jonah's adoption.
Which way do you think is the best way for the parents to handle it? Have you ever played a prank? Would this be a fun or a mean prank?
DeleteNice work!
From the text I know that, Chip And Jonah are very alike they both are adopted they live in the same naborhood because on page 26 it says "Chip was breathing heavily like he'd just ran all the way from is house six driveways down." the both like basketball on page 13 Chip was bouncing the ball against the driveway and Jonah grabbed the ball from him and hit it against the backboard. Their adoptions have differed by Jonah knew about his all his life and Chip never knew about his up until 7th grade and chip got the prank letter to and he took it to his dad and his dad told him about the adoption.

ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah are the same because they both like to play basketball, they both were adopted, and they both go the same note. Chip likes to really think things out before he does them. Chip likes to know exactly what is going on. Jonah doesn't really think about things before he does them. Jonah is just spur of the moment kind of person. They both have in common that they are one of the missing. The text says they have a good amount of things in common for friends. Their adoptions are different because Chip has just found out e was adopted. Chips parents don't really want to talk about it. Jonah has always known he was adopted. Jonah's parents never minded talking about it.

ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah have a lot in common. A couple of the things are that they both have in common are they both recieved "prank letters", they both like playing basket ball, and they are both adopted. I know they both got a "prank letter" because it says chip came banging on Jonah's front door saying,"I got one too. One of those letters. About being missing." I also know they like playing basketball because it says they were play-basketball-in-driveway-friends. I know that they were both adopted because it says that Chip stated, "You don't look much like your sister." "Adopted," Jonah said back. Then when Jonah and Chip were talking about the "prank letters" Jonah asked if he was adopted. In the beginning of the next chapter Jonah said why didn't you tell me that this afternoon? Chip then stated I didn't know. There adoptions have differed because Jonah New he has been adopted since he got adopted. Chip just found out that he was adopted. Chip and Jonah think differently. Jonah is more of a who cares person and Chip is more of an uptight kind of person. He lets everything get to him. He also thinks super negative. I think trying to be friends with him would be a little tricky.

ReplyDeleteBased on what I read, Chip and Jonah have a lot in common. For example, Chip and Jonah play basket ball I know this because in the beginning of chapter 1 it talks about how they were playing basket ball with each other. Another thing Chip and Jonah have in common is that they both got prank letters. I know that Chip and Jonah were sent prank letters because at the end of chapters 1&2 Chip and Jonah got "YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING." letters. From my reading, Chip and Jonah are adopted. According to the text, we learned Jonah was adopted when Chip stated "You don't look much like your sister," and Jonah replied "Adopted,". From my reading, I know that the way Chip and Jonah have handled their adoptions are differently. For example, Jonah has known for ever since his parents have been telling him. Chip on the other hand has just recently learned about his adoption. I know about there adoptions because it stated so in the beginning of the book. Chip learned about his adoption when he went inside his house showed his dad the prank letter and told his dad Jonah was adopted. Then he asked if he was adopted too, and his dad just stood there. Jonah, was different his parents have been talking about how he has been adopted since he can remember. According to the text, Chip and Jonah have different ways of thinking. When Chip thinks he is open minded and thinks negative. Then we got Jonah an easy going guy, who doesn't care much about anything.
I like you detailed explanations! Also, it is great that you used text evidence! Nice work.

ReplyDeleteChip is so stressed and determined that he is adopted because his dad never told him. When Chip did ask is when he got the letter that said "you are one of the missing". Chip really wants to know who his real parents are. he is breaking through a save to try to find out.

ReplyDeleteJonah and Chip have many similarities and differences. Both are entering the seventh grade, both got letters saying they are the missing found, and they both like playing basketball. Another similarity is both boys are adopted, but this also comes with differences. Chip thinks being adopted is bad; Jonah is fine with being adopted. Chip won't refer to his parents as his "real parents", while Jonah says real parents are the ones that take care of you, not your "birth parents." Another one of their differences is the fact that they found out about being adopted at different times. Jonah has known ever since his parents got him, but Chip found out recently. Chip's parents never seemed to really want to tell Chip; Jonah's parents, on the other hand, think that it is a good thing to be adopted and had no problem telling him.
Jonah and chip have many things in cumin like they are going to seventh and are very happy to be in seventh grade. Jonah has a sister and chip did not have a sister in the book. Chip's mom and dad did not tell him that he was adopt but Jonah had all redye know that he was adopt. later on Jonah got a letter saying you are one of the missing later that day chip got the same letter then they find out that chip was adopt by looking in a valet at his house. last they find a post it with a number on it with a name James Reardom (513)555-0192 they tried to call it.It raring a lot of times but still no one answer the phone. then chip got mad at his mom and dad then chapter 4 stared.

ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah have many things in common. One thing they have in common is, they both enjoy playing basketball. On page 17 I read that Chip wants to make the basketball team. I can infer that he wants to try out because he likes basketball. I can tell Jonah also wants to play basketball because on page 24 the author states that basketball is a no brainier to him. There adoptions are the opposites from each other. Jonah's parents told him that he was adopted when he was able to understand what they were telling him. Chip just learned that he was adopted in chapter 2. Jonah thinks before he speaks. Chip speaks before he can comprehend it. They also both think about different things. Chip thinks about girls and the future. Jonah thinks about the past and present not the future. On page 17 the author states Jonah does not like planning.
John Rowe
ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah do not think alike. On page 17, it states that Chip thinks about the future and what is going to happen next, unlike Jonah, who doesn't think about what is going to happen next, and only thinks about basketball and girls. What chip and Jonah both have in common is they are both adopted, and they both like basketball. From my reading, I know that their adoptions are different from each others because, Jonah had always known he was adopted, as for chip he had to process it for a long time and his dad had to tell him he was. Also, Jonah didn't have to be told he was adopted, as for chip, he had to be told he was adopted.
Lainey Hyde
ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah have a lot in common, for instance they both love basketball. Another example is, Chip and Jonah are both adopted. Jonah always knew he was adopted, Chip just found out that he was adopted from his dad. Chip got a note from the mail and he doesn't know who the letter is from. Jonah got the same letter, but Jonah got it before Chip. The letter said "You are one of the missing", it said so on page 20 and on page 28. Chip doesn't think like Jonah and Jonah doesn't think like Chip. Chip is really energetic and Jonah is calmer. for instance on the first page of chapter 5 it said "Chip shoved hard against Jonah's chest, pushing him away." that was when Chip and Jonah where looking through Chip's mom and dad's safe. While Jonah was calm and trying to calm chip down.

ReplyDeleteFrom reading chapters, 1,2and 3 I know that Jonah and Chip share the same interest in basketball.Jonah and Chip were kind on friends that went to get a drink at the Kitten and hung out, but now they are types of friends that hand out each others bedrooms now.Chips first found out that Jonah was first adopted when they where playing basketball,but then later in the book Chip finds out that he was adopted too.Jonah and Chip are different in their adoptions because Jonah new that he was adopted first, and in the other hand Chip had no idea, Chips dad said "he never wanted to talk about in again."But I think that Chips dad could have handled it a little bit better then he did.
Ryan Ramsay
ReplyDeleteWhat I think Jonah and Chip have in common, is that they have a friendship also they both got a letter that said "You are one of the missing." They are both adopted but chip found out far later than Jonah. Their adoptions differ because, once again chip found out later than Jonah had. It proves this on the last page of chapter 2 it says "Are you adopted?" Jonah whispered "Wordlessly, Chip nodded" proving my point that chip is adopted. Finally, I know that he found out later because in the book it said that Chip always knew that Jonah was adopted, but he thought that he himself wasn't.

ReplyDeleteFrom my reading, I know that in chapters 1,2 and 3 Chip and Jonah share the same interest in basketball.Also, they both got a letter that said "you are one of the missing".

DeleteTo continue what I said before, According to the text, Chip and Jonah's adoptions differed because Chip found out that he was adopted way later than Jonah did.
Chip and Jonah have a lot in common. First of all, they both share the same interest in basketball. Next, they are both the same age and are also adopted. Lastly, Chip and Jonah both have received letters that say, "You are one of the missing."
ReplyDeleteFrom my reading, I know that Chip and Jonah's adoptions are very similar. The only big difference is that Jonah has known his whole life that he is adopted. His parents always tell him the story of when they got him. Chip, though, has never known he was adopted, until he met Jonah. All in all, Chip and Jonah have a lot in common, even though their adoptions are different.

ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah are both adopted. The difference between their adoptions are Jonah knew he was adopted and his parents were there to expalin what he was going through. Chip was adopted and never knew about it. Chip's dad said he never wanted to talk about it again.
Sofia de la Cruz
ReplyDeleteAccording to the text, Chip and Jonah do have some things in common but also have differences. Chip and Jonah are both adopted. From my reading, Jonah knew that he was adopted from the start but Chip just learned that he was adopted. Jonah knows lots about being adopted and he knows the correct terms. But Chip was not taught the same way as Jonah. Chip's parents hid the fact that he was adopted and moved on. Based on what I've read, I can tell that Jonah is okay with being adopted. Although when Chip was told he was adopted he did not react well. He was acting as if he just committed a murder. Just from reading those few chapters I know that Jonah was a calm person but Chip was very worried and anxious about his situation.
Based on the text, I know that Jonah and Chip have things in common, but they also have many differences. For example, Jonah's parents told him that he was adopted way before Chip moved into the neiborhood. Chip found our later in the book. They're also different because they aren't both that sporty.They are simular because they both wanted to know more about what there parents are like and who they are, they wanted to find out more about the adotion.

ReplyDeleteBased on the chapters 1-3, I know Chip and Jonah are similar to each other. For example they both like basketball, they are adopted and live in the same neighborhood. They also both want to learn more about their parents and their adoption. From my reading, I know that they don’t think alike. For example when Jonah got the note reading "YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING", he just thought it was a prank. When Chip got the same letter he was freaking out about it. The two different ways Chip and Jonah found out their were adopted was very different. Jonah had always known about him being adopted and his parents talk about it all the time. Chip found out when he was in seventh grade and it came up when Chip told his dad about the note. His dad told Chip he never wanted to talk about it again.

ReplyDeleteFrom my reading I know that Chip and Jonah are alike in many ways. For example, Chip and Jonah both have a like for basketball, and they are both adopted. Receiving the letter that stated the sentence, "YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING." is something they have in common. They also both live in the same neighborhood. Based on what I read Chip and Jonah think different from one another. Chip has a crush on Jonah's younger sister, but Jonah doesn't think his sister is all that great. I can tell that Jonah doesn't think his sister is all that great because they call each other nicknames that annoy each other, and that leads to tension between them. Chip and Jonah also think differently because they both reacted differently when they received their letters. Chip freaked out because his letter led to knowing he was adopted, but Jonah didn't freak out. He just told himself that the letter was a prank. Chip and Jonah's adoptions have differed because Jonah knew about his adoption for a long time, and Chip just found out. Chip took being adopted very seriously. When Chip found out he was adopted his "dad" didn't make anything better. Chip wanted to know more about his birth parents but his dad told him he never wanted to talk about this again. Jonah's parents did not do that to him. They bought Jonah books about adoption, but, alas, those books got boring so he read the adoption books his parents had.

ReplyDeleteAccording to the first few chapters I know that Chip and Jonah have many things in common. One example is that both Chip and Jonah are in seventh grade. This is a pretty important aspect because people who are in the same grade think alike and they both seem to like the same things. The bulk of the thinks they have in common are they both like basketball, they were both adopted, they both received the same letter, and they live in the same neighborhood. Some of the ways that Chip and Jonah's adoptions have differed are that Jonah and his parents have a good relationship and they are very open with each other but, with Chip, he does not seem as open with his parents and does not have a very good relationship. Chip's parents kept the secret that he was adopted and there is a very high chance that there is a lot he does not know still. That is much more different with Jonah and his family they are very close and Jonah knows all about his adoption. Jonah's family always sits together a the table for dinner but Chip was at Jonah's hose so that means he probably does not always sit with his family at dinner.
Based on what I read, Jonah and Chip have many things in common. For example, the book tells us that they are both in seventh grade, they both play basketball, they live near each other, and they both received the same letter. However, the way they responded to the letters was very different. Jonah didn't believe it was true, just some prank. But Chip freaked out, because he believed it was true. Also, their adoptions, to me, are very different. When Jonah was adopted, he was told. His family is close and spends a lot of time together. Meanwhile, Chip's parents kept the fact that he was adopted a secret. This to me shows that Chip doesn't really talk to his parents and that his parents aren't very open with him.

ReplyDeleteAccording to chapters one two and three, Chip and Jonah have similar interests and lives. Chip and Jonah both like basketball, are in the same grade,both don't no who there birth parents are, don't no where the from and both have revived a "You Are One of the Missing" letters. The differentiation's between Jonah's and Chip's adoption are that Jonah's parents let him no that he was adopted and Chip's parents didn't.
Jessalyn Lewis
ReplyDeleteFrom my reading I know that Chip and Jonah are very similar in many ways, and different in many ways. A couple examples that Jonah and Chip are similar is that they both like basketball, they live on the same street, they are both in seventh grade, they both received one of the letters that states that they are one of the missing, neither of them know who their birth parents are, and they are both adopted. They think alike because they are about the same age and in the same grade. Their adoptions are different because Jonah's parents told him all about his adoption from the very beginning and will talk about his adoption whenever Jonah would like. Jonah's parents also seem to have a close relationship with their son. They seem like a very close family and that they will talk to each other openly. Chip's parents did the opposite. Chip found out that he was adopted as a baby when he was in the seventh grade. Chip doesn't have a good relationship with his parents. He seems like he won't be open to them and that they are a distant family, a family that never talks to each other. His parents also stated that they never want to talk about his adoption ever again. I know this because in the text it says, " My dad said-" Chip choked, swallowed hard, tried again,"- My dad said I didn't need to know anything else. He said he never wanted to talk about this again."
Avery Paul
ReplyDeleteBased on what I read, both of the boys like to play basketball and they were both adopted. I also know that they are close in age because the book states that they are both in 7th grade. They also live in the same neighborhood. There adoptions differed because, Jonah knows that he is adopted but Chip doesn’t know that he is adopted.
Ruby Hiskett
ReplyDeleteAccording to my reading I know that, Chip and Jonah are different and similar in many ways. For instance they both like basketball, but Chip is very sure that Jonah should sign up, but Jonah doesn’t feel the same way. I also know that they around the same age because they are both in seventh grade. They both did receive the same letter, and live on the same street. They both have completely different families too. Jonahs family decided to tell him that he was adopted at a young age and told him everything that they knew about his adoption, but Chips family didn’t want to tell him at all and, never want to talk about it. The text states “-my dad said I didn’t need to know anything else. He said he never wanted to talk about this again.”
Chip and Jonah have a lot in common, such as they are both being adopted, but one major thing they don't have in common is their parents. For example Jonah's parents care a lot about how Jonah acts and love him very much, but Chip's parents seem to have very high demanding jobs and think that their jobs are more important than their very own son. Chip and Jonah also have very different opinions when it comes to the adoption process. In Chips mind his parents tricked him into being there son. In Jonahs mind his parents did it the right way by the book and that there is nothing wrong with being adopted. -Macray O'Neill

ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah have very much in common. I believe this because they both like basketball, they are both adopted, and they both have different lives from other people. I know this because in chapters two through three, it talks about how Jonah and Chip are adopted and that they play basketball a lot. They are different because Chip didn't know he was adopted till now, but Jonah knew he was adopted from the beginning. I know this because in chapter three it talks about that Chip just found out that he was adopted and now he's really mad about it.
Ava Ekins-Faught
ReplyDeleteAccording to chapters two and three, Chip and Jonah both like to play basketball and they are both adopted. I think they are the same age because it said they were both in 7th grade and they both got the same letter which said “You are one of the missing.” When Jonah got the letter he and Chip thought that it was just a prank, but then Chip got the same letter. Their adoptions differ because Jonah knew that he was adopted but Chip didn’t. When Chip found out he was adopted he was very mad!!

ReplyDeleteBased on what I read in chapters one, two, and three Chip and Jonah have a few things in common for example in chapter one it states that they are both in seventh grade. According to the text in chapter one it states that Chip and Jonah were playing basketball so that tells me that they both enjoy playing basketball. Some other things they have in common are they are both adopted but Jonah was told that he was adopted and he know for years, but Chip’s parents didn’t tell him until he told his dad about Jonah’s letter. Based on chapter two and three it one more thing that they have in common is that the both got the letter that says, “ YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING.”

ReplyDeletechip and Jonah are similar in ways such as: their both seventh graders, they both got one of the letters that say "you are one of the missing", they play basketball, and they're both adopted.
i have a prediction because in the prologue that there were thirty-six babies on a plane so i'm guessing that the missing were all adopted and they were the babies on the plane

ReplyDeleteBased on my reading, I know Chip and Jonah have a lot of differences and a lot of similarities. One way they are different is that Jonah has known about being adopted while Chip finds out in the third chapter. They are also different because Jonah is fine about his adoption and Chip is freaking out. Chip and Jonah have many things in common like, they were adopted and they both enjoy playing basketball. When Jonah received his letter saying, "you are one of the missing" he thought it was a prank. When Chip got the same letter as Jonah he also though it was a prank, this is another similarity. Jonah and Chip are similar in age because they are both in seventh grade.

ReplyDeleteAccording to what I read Chip and Jonah have a lot in common. One is that they both play basketball and they were both adopted. I know this because according to the book in page 11 and 12 it said "You don't look much like your sister," Chip said, bouncing the basketball low against the driveway. Jonah waited to answer until he'd darted his hand in and stolen the basketball away. Chip and Jonah's adoptions differ because Jonah was told he was adopted from the beginning and Chip wasn't told he was adopted until he got the letter.

ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah are the same because they both play basketball. In the book it says "Man, he said, you're going to make the basketball team for sure." and "Chip said bouncing the basketball low against the driveway." Another thing they have in common is they are both in seventh grade. They think different because Chip is a planner and Jonah is not. In the text it says, "But even if I make it in seventh and eighth grades, then there's high school to deal with. Whoa. And then there’s college, and being a grown-up.... It’s all pretty scary, don't you think? You forgot about planning you're funeral, Jonah said. What? You know if you're going to get all worried about being a grown-up you might as well figure out what’s going to happen when you're ninety years old and die. Personally Jonah didn't like to plan anything." Their adoptions are different because Jonah has known his whole life that he was adopted and Chip didn't. On page 31 it says, "I told you I was adopted why didn't you tell me? I didn't know!! Chip exploded"
Oh my goodness! This response is so good! I can't wait to see you on the first day of school, Kenna!!!

ReplyDeleteJonah and Chip are very similar, but they are also different from each other. A few things that are similar about Jonah and Chip are that they both like to play basketball, they are both adopted, and they both got the strange letter that said that "you are one of the missing". They both thought that it was a prank at first.
A big difference between Chip and Jonah is the way that the feel about being adopted. Chip didn't know that he was adopted until he was in seventh grade when he got the same letter as Jonah did and asked his dad if he was adopted. Chip freaked out when he found out that he was adopted. Jonah had known that he was adopted from a young age so he didn't think it was a big deal.
So far, Chip has been the one who freaks out- like when he continued to ring the door bell after the door had been opened- while Jonah is more calm and tries to make Chip feel better- like when he told Chip that even though his parents were not his birth parents they are the ones who did things like change his diaper and teach him how to ride a bike.

ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah have a lot in common as in they both like to play basketball, they are both adopted and they both received a letter stating "you one of the missing". They both thought that it was a prank at first.
They both have their differences as well, like how they found out they were adopted. Jonah asked his dad if he was adopted and Chip didn't know that he was adopted until seventh grade. I predict they are same age, same grade and go to the same school.
Chip and Jonah have a lot in common, first they both like to play basketball outside. The second reason is because they received a letter in the mail written on it had six typewritten words saying '' YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING''. The third reason is because they are both adopted but Chip didn't know that he was adopted till chapter three. They both have been adopted differently Chip didn't know until he got a letter came in the mail. After he read the letter Chip remembered that Jonah got that same letter but he thought that he wasn't adopted. He takes a minute to think about it then he goes inside and still curious asks his dad ''Am I adopted?'' Chips dad confesses and admits that he is actually adopted! While Jonah was adopted and knew that he was adopted his whole entire life and Chip found out just recently. Chip has been thinking about it non-stop ever since and even knocked on the door in the middle of dinner just to talk about it.
ReplyDeleteAccording to my reading in chapter one close to the end of the chapter. It states that in the mail Jonah got a letter saying "YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING." and Jonah just thought that it was just a prank. Then in chapter three it says that Chip also got a letter stating that he is adopted. Thing Jonah and chip have in common here that they both enjoyed playing basketball. most likely both where about the same age and went to the same middle school. There adoption are different. First off is that Jonah always knew that he was adopted. But Chip didn't know about his adoption until now. That was spoken mostly in chapter three.
ReplyDeleteJarrett Peek
ReplyDeleteJonah's adoption is different from Chip's because Jonah has known his whole life that he was adopted and Chip has just found out that he was adopted. They both got a letter that quoted "You are one of the missing" at the end of Chapter 2. Jonah thought it was a prank but Chip was taking it seriously. Jonah and Chip are alike because they both like to play basketball and they are both adopted.
Chip and Jonah have similarities and differences. One thing that the both have in common is that they are both adopted. They also both like basketball, and they both got letters saying YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING. Chip and Jonah adoptions are different because Chip knew he was adopted and Jonah didn’t know he was adopted until the day he got his letter saying YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING. In chapter 1 page 20 it stated that Jonah was told to get the mail. He saw his name on a letter and he then opened it. When he read the letter is said “YOU ARE ON OF THE MISSING.” These are only a few similarities and differences between Chip and Jonah.

ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah have a lot of similarities and differences, some of their similarities are that Chip and Jonah are both adopted and they both like playing basketball, they are both in 7th grade, they both were getting notes like "you are one of the missing" and when they both got the note they just assumed it was a prank. Though they are both adopted they both found out at different times like Jonah had known since he was a kid but Chip had just found out and was freaking out about the news. Another difference is that Chip's parents don't want to talk about Chip’s adoption, in the text it says “-my dad said I didn’t need to know anything else. He said he never wanted to talk about this again”. Jonah's parents are very open and will answer any of Jonah's questions, they even bought a couple of books to help with some of the teenage adoption questions. Jonah doesn’t think that adoption is a big deal but Chip thinks it is, for example when Chip first found out that he was adopted he ran to Jonah’s house and was ringing the doorbell even when the door was open.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, Chip and Jonah think very differently from each other; for example, in chapter three, Jonah said to Chip, “Adoption is normal. It’s been part of human society for centuries.” Also, in chapter three, Chip said to Jonah, “Mom and Dad never told me anything! All this time I thought my parents were my real parents.” Jonah and Chip have a few things in common; first, they are both adopted, second, both boys are in the seventh grade, and third, the boys both like to play basketball. Chip and Jonah’s adoptions have differed because Chip didn’t know that he was adopted and Jonah knew he was adopted.

ReplyDeleteI think that Chip and Jonah think very, very differently. In chapter three, Jonah said that "Adoption is a completely normal thing, and that it has been happening for many years". In chapter three, the author stated that from Chips experience, his parents never told him that he was adopted, but for Jonah, they told him he was adopted and it was a wonderful thing. Their adoptions were very different for Chip's parents never told him he was adopted, and that he thought they were his real parents, by the sounds of it, Chips parents didn't want him to know, so they might have been ashamed of it. But for Jonah, they told him he was adopted and wasn't ashamed to say that. Chip and Jonah are a lot alike because they're both males, they're both in 7th grade, they both like Basketball, and they were both adopted.
Ben Utz
ReplyDeleteI think that the way Jonah and Chip think is very different. The way Jonah thinks about adoption is that it's perfectly normal, I know this because in chapter 3 on page 32 he says that adoption is normal and that it has been apart of society for centuries. The way Chip thinks about it is that being adopted sucks, and that the people who adopt you are total strangers. I know this because in chapter 3 on page 31 he said that his parents were total strangers to him, after his dad said that Chip was adopted. All the ways they are alike are that they both like basket ball, they are both in 7th grade, and they were both adopted.
From reading chapters one, two and three, I know that Jonah and Chip are both similar and different in various ways. For example, Jonah and Chip are similar because they both enjoy the sport of basketball, go to 7th grade, are adopted and received the same letter. The way the react to this is different, though. Based on what I read in chapter 2, I know that when Jonah received the letter, he assumed that it was a prank. But when Chip got it in the mail, he thought it was true, having seen Jonah get the letter earlier. As for adoption, Jonah thinks it is normal, because his parents taught him that way, while Chip isn't found of it, because his parents don't talk to him as much about adoption.
ReplyDeleteBryce Adams
ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah have A lot in common. From what I have in chapters 1, 2, and 3 Chip and Jonah are very alike and they are also very different at the same time. First of all both of them like to play basketball. Second Jonah's family does not really talk about him being adopted. On the other hand he got a let that said you are one of the missing. For the first few minutes Jonah thought that it was a joke. Chip's family does not really talk about his adoption.
Emily Bird
ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah have similarities and differences. For example, they both like playing basketball but Chip is worse at it then Jonah. Another example is their appearances. The book mentions that Chip has curly blonde hair. Earlier in the book it states, "and as a baby all that brown hair" they had different colored hair but both had curly hair. Their adoptions differed because even though they were both adopted, Jonah's parents told him he was adopted. Chip didn't know he was adopted until he asked his dad. Another difference about their adoptions is that Jonah doesn't think it's a big deal and is okay with it. Chip didn't take it very well.
Preston Kelsey
ReplyDeleteAccording to The Missing Found, Chip and Jonah are both adopted. Also they are both in seventh grade. A different thing about them is that they did not find out the same way that they are adopted. Chip found that out when he got the letter that said "YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING". Jonah know that he was adopted for a long time. Also they both got the same letter in the mail. they both like to play basketball.
Andrew Catlin
ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah have a lot in common such as they are boat thirteen. another they have in common is that they are boat adopted.Chips and Jonahs adoptions differ by Jonah knew he was adopted and Chip didn't know. their adoptions also differ because Jonah has a step sister.
Mattie Zulz
ReplyDeleteFrom my reading I know that, both Chip and Jonah have many moments where they think or act alike. For example, they are both adopted. However, just because they're both adopted doesn't mean they don't live their lives differently. One thing that is not the same among the two is how they're parents act about adoption. Chip's parents aren't too fond or very open about talking about adoption while Jonah's parents always try to talk to him and make him feel like he belongs. Other obvious things can differ between them. For example, the way they act, the way they look, and so on
Anehli Aguilar
ReplyDeleteFrom my reading, I now understand the meaning of the first three chapters in the book, "The Missing Found" by Margret P. Haddix. I would like to start this off with how the boys are alike. Jonah and Chip are alike because they both are adopted and like to play basket ball. However, with similarities comes differences. The boys differed by Jonah knowing he's adopted, but Chip does not. Also, Jonah has a sibling whereas Chip does not.
Serenity Achurra
ReplyDeleteChip and Jonah are similar in many ways, for example, they both enjoy basketball, they both are in seventh grade, they both get creepy letters, and they both are adopted. Jonah is excellent at basketball though Chip could improve at the sport. The difference in the basketball skills was written in chapter one, page 16, states “it went in cleanly-the perfect shot.” it also states “Man,” he said “you are going to make the team for sure.” which is inferring that Jonah is really good at basketball, however, Chip was not so sure of his ability. They both think in very similar ways, for example they both got the letter that read “YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING”. Their reasoning for the letter was that it was a seventh grade prank. Lastly Chip and Jonah are similar by both being adopted. Jonah has always known that he was adopted and if he ever gets curious about his adoption he can ask questions, but Chip just found out and is not allowed to talk to his parents about being adopted. He is very curious and would love to know more.

ReplyDeleteJonah thinks that his adoptions are simple or easy because he already knows that he is adopted and knows what to do, but for Chip it is very difficult because he didn't know that he was adopted "yet" and he panics when he finds out unlike Jonah he has no idea what he needs to do. What Chip and Jonah have in common is that they are both adopted, are both teenagers, got the same scary mysterious letter that said, "You are one of the Missing" in their mailbox and, they like playing basketball with each other almost every day before or after school. Chip and Jonah didn’t get the letters on the same day; they got it on different days. Evidence from the book: On page 20, Jonah got the letter and then on page 28, Chip had said he got the same letter as Jonah had got in the mail. Their adoptions are different in many ways because Jonah's parents talk about it all the time by giving him books and papers and Chip's family kept it a secret from him for thirteen years without saying one word about anything about Chip's adoption. When Chip asked his parents where he came from and why he wanted to know more they said they never ever want to talk about it again. Then Jonah never bothers asking his parents about his adoptions a lot because his parent mentions it every day ever since they adopted him because they say it was some sort of a miracle when they adopted him.
According to the text, Chip and Jonah have a lot in common. Some things they have in common are they are both adopted, they both like basketball, and they are both in 6th grade. The text also says that their adoptions are differed. Their adoptions are differed because Jonah's family talk to him about adoption and try to make him feel better, but Chip's parents don't talk about adoption very much. They think differently, because Jonah doesn't think much about about adoption, but Chip thinks about it and hates that he was adopted.
ReplyDeleteNathalia Nguyen
ReplyDeleteThe way Jonah thinks about his adoption is very basic because he already knew that he was adopted. While the way Chip thinks about his adoption is difficult because he never knew that he was adopted. (Until his so-called father told him that he was adopted at the end of chapter 2.) The things that Chip and Jonah have in common are that they are both adopted, they both like to play basketball, and they got letters that say “You are one of the missing.” (Chip got the letter on page 28 and Jonah got the letter on page 20.), and they are both in seventh grade. How Jonah adoption differ from Chip adoption is because when Jonah young Jonah adopted parents kept saying the story that it would be years and years and years before they get a baby, then the call came out of the blue- The week before Christmas. (It says that on page 15.) And for Chip his family was keeping it a secret because they didn't think Chip was ready the know yet.
Caden McKnight
ReplyDeleteFrom my reading I know that both Chip and Jonah are adopted but they have very different opinions about it. Jonah’s parents told him that he was adopted when he was very little and he has always been okay with that. In fact he almost likes being adopted. Chip just recently learned that he was adopted, and is mad at his parents for not telling him sooner.
Hunter McNabb
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, Jonah thinks peacefully and maturely. In the text Jonah thought maturely when Chip told Jonah that he was adopted, he reacted calmly and talked to Chip. Jonah thinks peacefully about his adoption. Jonah thinks of his adoption not as a big deal because he has known about his adoption for a long time. This makes Jonah a peaceful thinker cause he has excepted his adoption and the different reasons his parents may had to abandon him. To support my explanation according to the text The Missing Found, " I told you I was adopted- why didn't you tell me?" " I didn't know !" Chip exploded. His whole face turned red. "Mom and dad never told me anything! All this time I thought my parents were my real parents-- "
" They're still your real parents, " Jonah corrected automatically. " In my opinion Jonah thinks rashly and without a filter. In the text, Chip thought rashly near the end of the chapters when Chip found out that he was adopted. He went to Jonah's house and freaked out and wondered why his parents abandoned him. To support this claim, According to the text The Missing Found, " I didn't know !" Chip exploded. His whole face turned red. "Mom and dad never told me anything! All this time I thought my parents were my real parents-- " "Chip thought without a filter when he asked Jonah if Jonah could date his sister since they weren't related by blood. Chip and Jonah have a lot in common for example that they both are boys that are in seventh grade and they both were adopted. Chip and Jonah's adoptions are different because Jonah has known about his adoption, and Chip just has learned about his adoption.
