If you were Jonah, what exactly would you be worried about? As these events occurred, would you be "freaking out" like he is or would you be calm and focused?
If I was Jonah in this situation, I would be freaking out. I would be wondering why the FBI had anything to do with my file. I would also be wondering why I keep getting strange letters with nothing on it except my name. What is even worse is Chip is dealing with the same thing! Its almost too similar. I wouldn't know if the letter writer was a terrorist or if it was a prank. But the fact that the orphanage I came from only had James Reardon as something in my file, and the woman didn't even know if she could talk about it! My family doesn't know where I came from! So many questions that I would need answers too and so many things I would need to ask this, James Reardon.
If I were Jonah I would be worried about all the letters being sent to me. I would tell my parents and make sure they were informed about every letter. They would probably get the police involved. I would be concerned about the FBI agent, James Reardon. I would definitely want to meet him and talk about what he knows. I don’t get why Jonah wanted to tell his dad that he didn’t want to meet James Reardon. I think Jonah should have told his parents about the letters at least by the time he got the second letter. I don’t think he will ever tell his parents.
Makayla Shawcroft If I were Jonah I would be a little worried about all the letters that me and Chip were receiving but try my best to stay calm and focused on whats important. I probably wouldn't have told my parents about the letters that were being sent, or at least until after the issue was solved because they would have totally freaked out. When Jonah received that one call from his dad about James Reardon I would have wanted to meet him. It might have been the same guy that was in Chips adoption folder and could know something about the letters that we were receiving. Could James Reardon help them figure who they are, where the letters are coming from, and who there family is, or is he just a person mentioned in both Chips and Jonah's birth folders?
Lily Pinson If I were Jonah, I would be a little worried and want to know who is sending these letters and why. Though the biggest thing that I would be concerned about is where did I come from and why did Chip and I both have the name James Reardon, a FBI agent, in our files. I would not want to "freak out" though. I would want to stay calm and try and focus on what's happening so I can try and figure out all of my questions. I would want to take it all slowly and think for a while to try and figure out what all of this is. I would still be concerned but not as scared and confused.
Thane Horton If I was Jonah I would be worried about the letters the most and why Mom and Katharine are acting weird. I wouldn't freak out but wonder if Jonah and chip are brothers. Because they have the same agent. but freaking out would be over dramatic
You have posed a very interesting possibility. Watch to be sure you have at least 4 sentences and capitalize all names. You don't get credit if you don't have 4. You may come back and comment more to get more in.
Dakota Sasser If I was Jonah I would be freaked out because it said. (BEWARE!! THEYRE COMING TO GET YOU). Why because I don't know who what when and where. but I have a theory that some one is trying to stop them.
Evelyn O’Neill From reading chapters 6, 7, and 8 the events that occurred were scary. If I was Jonah and these events occurred I would first react like they did thinking it was just a joke. After receiving the second letter I wouldn’t think that it was funny because the letter said Beware!They're coming back to get you. Then when Chip got the second later I was thinking it got scary but then he received two of the same later it got really scary after that. Just thinking about what's going to happen is freaking me out.
Parker Jones If I were Jonah I would be freaking out. The reason why I would be freaking out is because of the letters Chip and Jonah are getting in the mail are very strange and they don’t know who is sending them or why. Also Jonah’s Dad has discovered some new information about his adoption. He found out there was a man’s name added to his adoption file. This man is James Reardon and he works for the FBI. Jonah is worried why this man’s name is in his case file but Jonah is willing to meet him anyway.
John Anthony Hallberg If I was Jonah I would be very scared because I would be getting weird letters in the mail. And I don't know why or who its from. and I am only 13 years old so I shouldn't be getting so many letters. Another reason I would be scared is because there is a new person named James Reardon in my adoption papers and he's part of the FBI. I wonder if its his dad. Or maybe he is the one writing the letters.
If I were Jonah I'd be (freaking out) like Jonah. I would be worried about James Reardon. Its very strange to me to have his name be on both Chip and Jonah's adoption papers. I would be freaking out just like Jonah because of how strange the letters are. I would be freaking out until I had some answers.
Lucas Durfee Which letter would you be freaking out about most. I would be most worried about the letter that said "Beware They're Coming To Get You!" This would be the letter I worry about most because I would think it was real. I thought that your summary was great!
I would be really scared because I got the different messages. My main goal would be to stay calm. Why, is because of the new message and what it could mean. As in, Jonah doesn't know what the message means.
If I were Jonah in this situation then I would be freaking out because of the message that said "BEWARE, THEY'RE COMING TO GET YOU!". Also the person that keeps calling him saying he's from the F.B.I. My goal would to be staying calm and trying to avoid it. I would be freaking out until I had a few answers.
lucas Durfee If I were Jonah I would be worrying about the letter that said "Beware they're coming to get you!" I think if these events were happening to me I would be freaking out. I would tell my parents that I was receiving letters that say weird things and that they do not have return addresses. I would want to talk to the F.B.I agent to see what he knows. I would also want to talk to Chips parents and chip to see what they think about the letters. In school I would try to not focus on the events happening to me. AT home I would try to do good on homework and try to act normal.
Abril Ugalde If I were Jonah, I would be worried about all those mysterious letters Chip and I were recieving, and how the people sending the letters knew so much about Chip, and what they meant by that second letter reading, "Beware! They are coming back to get you." I would also be worried that a so called "James Reardon" was somehow connected to both Chip and I.
Good thoughts, but this chapter blog won't count unless you come back and write more---at least four (4) sentences. Try to eliminate some "and"s and use more periods to create more sentences.
Abril Ugalde f I were Jonah, I would be worried about all those mysterious letters Chip and I were recieving. I would also be worried about how the people sending the letters knew so much about Chip. Also not knowing what they meant by that second letter reading, "Beware! They are coming back to get you." I would also be worried that a so called "James Reardon" was somehow connected to both Chip and I. Those are the things I would most likely be worried about if I were Jonah.
If I was Jonah I would be calm. I'd be calm and I would tell my parents that I was receiving strange letters with no return address. Then I would tell my dad that I want to meet the F.B.I. Agent in person so I could ask questions about my records. I would be calm because I handle scary or weird situations calmly. I would give both of the letters to my parents. I would try to stay focused in school, but when I'm home, focused on the letters.
Jason Porteous For me I would be concerned that somebody has sent me a letter like that and I would be worried because I don't want somebody taking me.
Jason, I agree with your thoughts. However, you must write at least four (4) sentences to get credit. Try to use more periods and fewer "and". You may come back and add more sentences.
Jason P. For me I would be concerned that somebody has sent me a letter like that. I would be worried because I wouldn't want somebody taking me. I would really be concerned about that James Reardon guy. I would want to know why he is involved with both Chip and my adoptions.
Lillyahna Mullins If I was Jonah i would be freaked out. I would wonder why i would have gotten the letters. I would want to know who James reardon was. I also wouldn't want to get taken from my family.
Zowie Anderson If I where Jonah I would be scared and freaked out like Jonah about the two letters he has gotten and tell my parents. I would also wonder if Jonah and Chip were brothers, because when Chip and Jonah broke into Chips Dad's safe they found a sticky note with James Rearden's name on it and a number. That would also make me wonder if James Reardon took people from their families and set up an adoption plan for them. I would also think that James Rearden is the one sending the letters to Chip and Jonah. I would think that that is why Chip and Jonah where one of the Missing. If I had a meeting with James Reardon I would have lots of questions to ask and also be a little bit worried that he would not answer some of the questions it have.
Rafe Card Chip is so stressed & determined because his dad never told him he was adopted. He asked & his dad told him the truth. He was mad that he wasn't told. Chip is anxious to know who his real parents are.
Tylie Noructt If I was Jonah I am would probably be freaking out. I think I would be freaking out because Jonah is getting these weird letter and Chip is getting the same one. Then he finds out that the person that was talked to his dad on the phone, his name was on the post it note stuck to Jonah's files. Then there is also a possibility that Jonah and Chip might be related some how. Lastly, I would be freaking out because when Jonah wanted to say no to meeting James Reardon (The person his dad was talking to on the phone and the person that was on the post it note on his files) he said yes.
Rafe Card if I where Jonah I would not freak out. I would be eager to know who my real parents where. It is a little weird that Chip and Jonah both have James Reardon under their files. They where both adopted at different places.
If I was Jonah, I would not be freaking out because I would have figured out that my dad was found and I would not have two worry about much but I would ask a lot of questions from dad because I would have never met him and would like to seek you out things about my other family. And if I was I would be worried about my dad would like me or if he would be mad to see me or if he would even want to see me but I would definitely like to meet him.
Addison Hollister If I were Jonah I would be most worried about figuring out what was happening and meeting the character James Reardon. I think I would be calm. If a guy from the FBI knew about me I would probably be a little shocked, but I wouldn't lose all of my marbles over something like that. I would be focused on talking to James Reardon to get more information on the scenario. Freaking out is something that I feel is not reasonable or fitting for the situation. I would be confused about my friend having the guy's number on his adoption records,but I would still try my best to stay calm and figure out exactly what is going on.
Brielle Johnson If I were Jonah I would be freaking out. I would be worried about the letters. I would have told my parents the minute I got the first letter. Something else I would be worried about is the FBI agent, James Reardon. I think that it would be a little weird if James Reardon knew all about me.
if i would to be Jonah I would be freaking out about my name in the file as James Reardon and i would be kind of worried out about the FBI agent with the name James Reardon winch could mney he is my dad that's way i am so worried abut the FBI agent.
If I was Jonah, I would be freaking out about the case file. I wouldn't think that the "prank" letters were pranks anymore, I would think that there is something weird going on and I would freak out. I think that James Reardon is Jonah's dad. I also think that there is a coincidence going on with the letters and the post it notes. I think that someone is trying to warn them or tell them something that they don't know.
Casamaro White Based on what I read, if I was Jonah I would be worried just like him it would be scary to find the name of a FBI agent in my file. I would also start to believe that the "prank" letters weren't really prank letters. Another reason I would be worried is the coincidence going on with letters and the post it note in the safe. I wouldn't be scared worried but a lot calmer than him. If I was Jonah I at this moment I would tell his parents about the "prank" letters as soon as I got them. To be Jonah would be hard in my opinion. His parents are always openly telling him he is adopted, and it is coming straight from a book. So many scary things are happening so fast I wouldn't be able to handle it. I would be worried like Jonah, but not as worried as he is his.
Lainey Hyde If I where Jonah I would be acting like him if I got a letter that said "Beware! They are coming back to get you". I would definitely tell my mom. I feel like I can tell anything to my mom. I would also be freaking out about that guy named James Reardon. That guy is freaky. First of all he works for the FBI. And he was the guy who answered the phone when Chip and Jonah were digging in the safe. I think that Jonah should have a meeting with James and ask him questions like, do you know anything about my birth mom or dad. I would also ask him if he knows who I am and ask him some questions about me and my life.
If I was Jonah's shoes I might be a bit scared. I would stay calm and process everything that is happening. I would also sit down and talk with my parents about everything. I also might try and calm down Chip and talk to him about everything.
Graycee Tibbals From reading chapters 6,7and 8,If I was Jonah I would want to be worried about why the name James Reardon was in my file.I would be worried about why the FBI would even talk my bother away from me.I would not be freaking out like Jonah is.I can't stay without freaking out about stuff,but I am pretty good at staying calm.i would also be shaky and sweaty,but I wouldn't go bonkers like Jonah or Chip.I would also be very focused to be meeting James Reardon,and why was he in my file?
If I where in Jonah's shoes I would probably be scared but not freaking out and telling everybody. I would be little focaused but then forget about it. I probably would't worry about it. I'd think chip sent it to be funny/prank.
Ryan Ramsay If I was in the position Jonah is in, then I would also be totally Freaking Out! I would be freaking out because just hearing the phrase "Beware, They're Coming Back To Get You." It Would get me on edge by reading "Beware," then reading "They're Coming Back To Get You," would throw me OVER the edge. Their fourth, making me Totally Freak Out! I would go MAD from being so worried, I would probably isolate myself so I wouldn't have to deal with it!
From my reading I know, that I would not be calm, maybe more than other people. I would freak out and stress over the file. AS the events occurred I would be very scared and stressed at the point Jonah is at. This is a situation that I do not think I could handle at all.
If I were in Jonah's situation, I would be really scared and freaking out. On the outside, I would be calm and focused. I would look calm and focus because it helps me feel that I really AM calm and focus, not freaking out.
Clayton Rigney If I were Jonah I'd be worried about who was sending the letters and why were they sending the letters. If these events were happening to me, I'd be freaking out too. I'd know nothing about myself or who I was. I'd have no one to talk to about everything that is happening.
If I were Jonah, I would be very nervous. You could even say that I’d be on the border of freaking out. I think that it would make me curious as to why James Reardon was a part of my file. If he was in the F.B.I., what business did he have with me? Just thinking about him would make me tremble. After knowing what his name is doing in my file, I wouldn’t do anything. What is there to do?
Also, I would be worried and concerned, not only for myself, but for Chip as well. If the name James Reardon was in both files, what does that mean for us? Are we connected, or is it just some coincidence?
Jessalyn Lewis If I was Jonah, I think I would be worried about the letters and who was sending them to me. I would be more worried about the person who is sending me the letters because maybe the person is a stalker and they are finding out information about me. I would also be worried about the letters because I worry easily. If I were to be getting creepy letters like Jonah, I would not be freaked out like he is. Instead I would be calm and focused on trying to figure out who is sending the letters. I would also be very anxious about the whole situation about the letters. I would be anxious because I would really want to know who was being really creepy and was sending me the letters.
If I was Jonha I know that there would be many things to worry about. One of the main things is that some guy, James Reardon answers to the phone to both my dad, and to the number Chip found on a yellow post it note. Also, I would worried about how how works for the FBI. Personally I would freak out if this would happen me. But I wouldn't completely lose it like he did.
Avery Paul Based on what I read, if I were Jonah I would be very worried about why the name James Reardon was in my file. I would be worried about the FBI would even be bothering me. I think that I would not be freaking out like Jonah. I think why I wouldn’t be freaking out like Jonah is because I am very good at staying calm.
Levi Johnson If I were Jonah I wouldn't be "freaking out" but I would be a bit scared by the second letter. I don't freak out when strange things are happening, I usually just try to get my mind off of it and try to think about something else. If James Reardon was in my file I would probably think that he was a close friend of my parents and helped them out in some way. I would think that it's pretty cool that James Reardon is in in the FBI.
i would try my best to stay calm but i would probably would put some thought into it that would make me freak out about getting a note from some anonymous person and be told by my father that an FBI agent knows a lot about me
Nice response. I would like you to use correct capitalization and punctuation rules. Also, please try to write 4 sentences each time to get full credit. Thanks, Mrs. Brown
From my reading I know, that I would be trying to stay calm but most likly be freaking out because I am getting these letters and I don't know who is sending them. I would definetly be concerend about the James Readon guy because I don't know who this guy is and why he is apart of the adotion. I would thik about the most posible thing then start really freaking out. The James Readon guy I would think about if he could be my father or if he could be one of my parents brother or one of their close friends. I wuld think about everyday.
Kennadee Irving I would for sure be “freaking out” not calm and focused. If I were Jonah I would be worried that I would be taken from my family. I love my family and would never want to get a “BEWARE! THEY’RE COMING BACK TO GET YOU.” letter. How can anyone stay calm when they’ve been told they’re going to be kidnapped.
Ava Ekins-Faught Based on what I read, if I were Jonah, I would be freaking out. I would be freaking out about the letters and who they are coming from. Also, I would want to know who James Reardon is, and how he is apart of the adoption. I would be worried about how James Reardon is apart of the FBI and that he is on my file. I would especially be concerned about the letter that said "Beware! They're coming back to get you."
Aubrey Vaughn If I was Jonah, I would be freaking out if someone from the FBI was in my file. I hate getting in trouble and having the FBI in your folder isn't good news. I would also be worried about meeting the person from the FBI. I wouldn't really care if I got the letter that said "Beware! they are coming to get you." I would be way more concerned about this James Reardon guy and what he wanted from me.
If I was Jonah, I worried about someone coming to take me away even if they were my birth parents. Also I would be freaking out that some random person was going into my files. If it were my birth parents who are planning to take me I would still want to stay with my adopted parents. I would wonder why they left me. I would feel so scared to even leave my room I wouldn't leave to go eat I would only leave to go to the bathroom. I would be so terrified that I would lock all my windows and my door at night.
Carter Paul If I was Jonah I would stay calm and focused, I’d just take that topic off of my mind. If I couldn’t stop thinking about the letters I’d just figure out how is sending me the letters. I would be very anxious to figure out who is sending me all of the letters. I would be excited to figure out who is sending me the letters.
If I were Jonah, I would be worried about a couple things. I would be worried about James Reardon being in my files and working for the FBI. Another thing that would worry me would be me and Chip getting the same weird letters. If I was in the same situation as Jonah I would be calm at first, but later on I would be totally freaking out. I would be freaking out because I can get pretty worked up about little things.
Gabriella Stiehl If I was Jonah, the most thing that I would be worried about is that the F.B.I. is involved with my adoption. What I would also be freaked out about is that Chip's adoption also had something to do with James Reardon. It would make me wonder if both of our birth parents knew each other or Chip and I had a special connection. 0
Gabriella Stiehl, If I was Jonah I would be freaking out because the FBI was involved with my adoption and I didn't know why. I would also be freaked out because Chip's adoption also had something to do with the FBI. The whole situation would also leaving me wondering because my adoption had to do with the FBI! I mean, what if I was secretly related to Chip or if my birth parents were working with the agency!
Madison Lewis If I was Jonah I would totally be freaking out, lots and lots of questions would be flowing in and out of my head. I would be wondering what the heck would the FBI have anything to do with my adoption and Chips adoption? Why is this guy James Reardon had anything to do with me and are Chip and I connected through this guy? I would also be freaking about these weird notes sent to me and Chip.
If I was Jonah I would be worried and have lots of questions like why is James Reardon's name is my file and Chip's file? What does the FBI have to do with my adoption? Who keeps sending weird letters to Chip and I?
If I was Jonah I would be worried and have lots of questions. One question would be why is James Reardon's name is my file and Chip's file? What does the FBI have to do with my adoption? Who keeps sending weird letters to Chip and I?
If I were Jonah, I would freaked out because James Reardon is in my file. I would wonder what the FBI wanted from me and why Chip and I are getting weird letters from someone. Also, I would feel worried,too because of the FBI being in my file. The situation would make me nervous what James Reardon could tell me about my adoption.
From my reading I know that Jonah learns some more about his adoption. In the text it states, that a contact person from Jonah's adoption file is James Reardon. If I were Jonah I would be worried that something bad was going to happen to Chip and I. Since their adoptions are connected through this man James Reardon who works for the FBI, I would be worried that James has something to do with the letters that were being sent to Chip and I. Based on what I read I can infer that Jonah was really freaked out about what he had just learned. If I were Jonah in this moment I would probably be freaking out too. For instance, It would be scary to know that my adoption and Chip's are connected through a man that works for the FBI. I would also freak out because that knowledge about James was just put on my file.
Raegynn Mayhue If I were Jonah I would be worried about meeting James Reardon and what I was going to ask him, who’s sending me and Chip the mysterious letters, and who’s coming to get me. In chapter six it stated, “Jonah felt a nervous twitch in his stomach. Mom walked across the room and laid the envelope on the desk, beside his social studies book. Once again, there was no return address. It was just a plain ordinary unmarked letter addressed to Jonah.” If these events ever happened to me I would be scared and stressed because I wouldn’t want to be take in away from my family.
If I were Jonah I would be freaking out about meeting James Reardon and what I was going to ask him, who’s sending me and Chip the mysterious letters, and who’s coming to get me and why they want to get me. how could be calm in that kind of spot.
From my reading, I would say that if I where Johan I would probably freak out. Because I have gotten a random letter saying "BEWARE! They're COMING BACK TO GET YOU." and Johan doesn't know who sent the letter. Then his father contacts the Adoption Agency that they got Johan from. Then Johan got information from his father about a man named James Reardon. And if I were Johan I would kind of be freaking out because I have just learned that some man might know some information about my birth parent. Because Johan is adopted and wants to learn more about his birth parent.
From my reading, I know that my reactions would be freaking out. For the reason for that is imagine being Johan and experiencing everything he is going through. Because if I where Johan I would freak out about getting an letter saying "BEWARE! THERE COMING FOR YOU." and Johan has no idea who has been sending the letters. Or maybe there sent by different people. But then his farther calls the adoption agency where they got Johan. And the information they got was a mans name. The name of the man is James Reardon. And if I where Johan I would be freaking out because I have got information that there's a man that might have information about my birth parents. Because Johan has been wondering about his birth parents.
If I was Jonah I would be overwhelmed. I think that I would be so stressed about finding the name James Reardon in my file. I think that if I was in his situation I would have so many thoughts flooding threw my mind. I wouldn't know what to think. I would also worry about what was going to happen to chip, and if he was going to be okay.
If I were Jonah I would be worried if I was being spied on and meeting James Reardon. I would try not to freak out because if he starts freaking out too bad the people who are sending these letters might see him doing it and send even more. I would be worried about meeting James Reardon and how he was on my file. I would also be concerned about if Chip and Jonah's adoptions are connected.
Bryce Adams If I was Jonah I would be worried. I would be worried because I don't know James Reardon. I would be freaking out as well because he does not know how the FBI wanted him. I would think that James REardon is from the FBI.
Sofia Utz If this was to happen to me, i would be really worried. I don't know what James Reardon would want with me, and why they would be on my files. Receiving a note saying "Beware, they're coming back to get you" would really scare me because that would mean someone would be coming to get me, and I wouldn't be able to do anything about it. If I had a friend who was going through what I was, I would be much calmer about the situation. I would look forwards to meeting James because I would want to know why he knew information on me.
If something like this were to happen to me I would be freaking out just like Jonah was in the book. The thing that I would be worried about in this situation is that I would want to know who is sending me the letters. Another thing that I would want to know is that who is the guy from the FBI who has details about my adoption. The main thing that I would really want to know is that how my friend who had nothing to do with me before this whole thing happened.
Ben Utz If something like this were to happen to me I would be freaking out just like Jonah was in the book. The thing that I would be worried about in this situation is that I would want to know who is sending me the letters. Another thing that I would want to know is that who is the guy from the FBI who has details about my adoption. The main thing that I would really want to know is that how my friend who had nothing to do with me before this whole thing happened. Reply
If I was Jonah I think the thing I would be most worried about is the adoption files. I would be most worried about the adoption files because both of them had the last name Reardon connected to them. This is what I would be most worried about because they were from different adoption agencies and born in different places. The next thing I would be worried about are the letters but not as much as the name because the letters could be a prank. As these events occurred, I would be trying to stay calm and focused but actually be freaking out. I would be freaking out because I would be scared of what's happening and of what James Reardon could tell me.
Preston Kelsey If I was Jonah I would be worried about someone trying to kidnap me. Jonah got a letter saying "beware their coming for you." I would feel very nervous that I was in danger. Jonah was freaking out not calm and focused, but I think I would be in the middle of those emotions. I would be scared, but yet I would try to get help from others that I trusted. I would also want to talk with James Reardon to get more information.
If I were in Jonah’s shoes, I would be freaking out. The reason I would be freaking out is because it is weird to receive letters from people I don’t know. A letter saying “beware! They're coming back to get you. It is scary especially because it sounds like I’m going to be kidnapped. I would also be worried about meeting James Reardon, because there was a post it note that had the name James Reardon in Chip’s safe. I would also be nervous that he knows about my past.
According to the events that are occurring in the book, if I were Jonah I would be freaking out. I think that I would be worried about the letters that I was receiving and who is sending them to me. I would be scared if I got a letter saying that they're coming back to get me. The reason I would be freaking out is because I would have literally no idea about the letters, and knowing nothing about a situation scares me.
If I were Jonah in this situation I would be as stressed as him. The reasons for this are that I would be horrified. The other reason is that I would be confused and feel the need to figure this out. Those are the reasons why I would be as stressed as him.
If I were in the situation Jonah was in I would definetly freak out. The main reason being, I don't normally get letter addressed to me unless their from my grandma in South Dakota. Obviously I think if I was getting strange letter I would definetly tell my parents, like really, why would you hide something that could be very concerning and yet so strange. It's basically getting letters from stalkers. And the whole James Reardon thing would have me down right scared. I wouldn't want to believe anything I would be hearing. A situation like that could really be stressful, especially for younger kids like Jonah and Chip.
If I was Jonah I would be woried. I would be woried about why I kept getting notes from strangers and why they where so creepy. I would definitely be freaking out at this point. Plus the phone number to James Reardon. That's why I would be freaking out.
Colin Homer If I were Jonah I would be worried that I would get kidnapped because in the letter it said "Beware they're coming back to get you." So, what I would be thinking, is someone is going to snatch me in the middle of the night when I am not expecting it. I would get anything I have to protect me. I think I would be freaking out, but not as much as Jonah is. I also would not think it was a prank, but I would be skeptical about the letters. I would want to get more details and know what the FBI agent knows about me.
If I were Jonah I would be worried about people coming to get me. In fact when I was reading this I was reading it at night and I got so scared that I had a bad dream so I would be worried because I would fear people coming after me. Also if I were Jonah I would not think it is a prank I would think that someone is really coming after me. I would also like to know about what the FBI knows about me and my adoption. If I got a strange letter like this one I would not hide it from my parents I would show it to them immediately.
From my reading I know that the letter to Jonah states “BEWARE THEY’RE COMING BACK TO GET YOU”. If I was Jonah I would be worried about who those people are, what do they want from me and why are they coming after me. I would be very panicked at first and then I would try to calm myself and put my thoughts into perspective, so I could try to figure out who wrote those letters. I might have to have a friend or even a family member to help calm me down. And I would need to talk to someone to first get everything out in the open and also to help me think about who the person writing these letters are. I would perhaps think about did I make someone mad or even think if one of my family members made somebody mad.
If I were acting as Jonah right now I would be very worried about getting more information about my birth parents. I would be worried about getting information on anything important. I would also be very scared and worried about meeting somebody else/ stranger. As the events would occur I would be trying to stay calm and focused because I will know what would happen when I meet someone else. I would stay calm because it might be easier to focus on what happens. I would focus because it is easier to listen and know what to do next. Evidence from the book: At the end of chapter 8 pg. 70, Jonah said yes to meeting a person named James Reardon, Jonah was freaking out a lot because James is a stranger to him. Jonah doesn’t know how James is like so he was probably scared and worried if James did something wrong to him and his family. If had to meet James Reardon with my family I would still be freaking out a lot even though I have my family coming with me during the meeting because I don’t know how he acts, he could be nice or mean.
If I was Jonah and as the event occurred, I would be the opposite of Jonah I would be freaking out because you just got these letters from some stranger that said, "You are one of the missing." (Jonah got the letter on page 20.) Then you get another letter that says" Beware! They're coming back to get you." (Jonah got that letter on page 56.) Who wouldn't be freaking out (In my opinion.) because you got this letter and you don't even know if that is going to or if it's going to happen to you.
If I were in Jonah's situation, I would be worried, but I wouldn't keep my mind on it. Sure, getting letters with random statements like, "You are one of the missing," or "Beware! They are coming back to get you," can be a little scary, but I would just ignore it. Then again, you have to take into account how your parents might react. They might become a lot more protective than before.
Caden McKnight From my reading I know that Jonah is very stressed and “freaking out” about the letters and all the other similarities between him and Chip. If I were in Jonah’s shoes I would probably not freak out as much as he is. I do know that it would always bug me though. I know that I would always think twice about everything. I would also try calm Chip down so he doesn't bother me.
If I were Jonah I would be worried about the newest letter. Since the newest letter said "Beware there coming back to get you" I would be worried because it sounds like someone is coming to kidnap me. As these events occurred I would probably be freaking out but I would want to be calm and focused because in any situation you should be calm.
If I was Jonah in this situation, I would be freaking out. I would be wondering why the FBI had anything to do with my file. I would also be wondering why I keep getting strange letters with nothing on it except my name. What is even worse is Chip is dealing with the same thing! Its almost too similar. I wouldn't know if the letter writer was a terrorist or if it was a prank. But the fact that the orphanage I came from only had James Reardon as something in my file, and the woman didn't even know if she could talk about it! My family doesn't know where I came from! So many questions that I would need answers too and so many things I would need to ask this, James Reardon.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree---so many questions.
DeleteIf I were Jonah I would be worried about all the letters being sent to me. I would tell my parents and make sure they were informed about every letter. They would probably get the police involved. I would be concerned about the FBI agent, James Reardon. I would definitely want to meet him and talk about what he knows. I don’t get why Jonah wanted to tell his dad that he didn’t want to meet James Reardon. I think Jonah should have told his parents about the letters at least by the time he got the second letter. I don’t think he will ever tell his parents.
ReplyDeleteDo you think he does not want to face the truth? I wonder why not.
DeleteMakayla Shawcroft
ReplyDeleteIf I were Jonah I would be a little worried about all the letters that me and Chip were receiving but try my best to stay calm and focused on whats important. I probably wouldn't have told my parents about the letters that were being sent, or at least until after the issue was solved because they would have totally freaked out. When Jonah received that one call from his dad about James Reardon I would have wanted to meet him. It might have been the same guy that was in Chips adoption folder and could know something about the letters that we were receiving. Could James Reardon help them figure who they are, where the letters are coming from, and who there family is, or is he just a person mentioned in both Chips and Jonah's birth folders?
Godd questions!
DeleteLily Pinson
ReplyDeleteIf I were Jonah, I would be a little worried and want to know who is sending these letters and why. Though the biggest thing that I would be concerned about is where did I come from and why did Chip and I both have the name James Reardon, a FBI agent, in our files. I would not want to "freak out" though. I would want to stay calm and try and focus on what's happening so I can try and figure out all of my questions. I would want to take it all slowly and think for a while to try and figure out what all of this is. I would still be concerned but not as scared and confused.
I like your line of thinking!
DeleteThane Horton
ReplyDeleteIf I was Jonah I would be worried about the letters the most and why Mom and Katharine are acting weird. I wouldn't freak out but wonder if Jonah and chip are brothers. Because they have the same agent. but freaking out would be over dramatic

Evelyn O’Neill
ReplyDeleteFrom reading chapters 6, 7, and 8 the events that occurred were scary. If I was Jonah and these events occurred I would first react like they did thinking it was just a joke. After receiving the second letter I wouldn’t think that it was funny because the letter said Beware!They're coming back to get you. Then when Chip got the second later I was thinking it got scary but then he received two of the same later it got really scary after that. Just thinking about what's going to happen is freaking me out.
I hope you like this book---it is alittle freaky. Do you like scary things?
DeleteParker Jones
ReplyDeleteIf I were Jonah I would be freaking out. The reason why I would be freaking out is because of the letters Chip and Jonah are getting in the mail are very strange and they don’t know who is sending them or why. Also Jonah’s Dad has discovered some new information about his adoption. He found out there was a man’s name added to his adoption file. This man is James Reardon and he works for the FBI. Jonah is worried why this man’s name is in his case file but Jonah is willing to meet him anyway.
Does the mystery have you hooked?
DeleteParker Jones
DeleteThis book is interesting so far. I'm liking the way the story is going and the way the characters are reacting.
John Anthony Hallberg
ReplyDeleteIf I was Jonah I would be very scared because I would be getting weird letters in the mail. And I don't know why or who its from. and I am only 13 years old so I shouldn't be getting so many letters. Another reason I would be scared is because there is a new person named James Reardon in my adoption papers and he's part of the FBI. I wonder if its his dad. Or maybe he is the one writing the letters.
Do you get much mail at your age? You are very smart to pick up on that detail as a sign that something is wrong.
DeleteIf I were Jonah I'd be (freaking out) like Jonah. I would be worried about James Reardon. Its very strange to me to have his name be on both Chip and Jonah's adoption papers. I would be freaking out just like Jonah because of how strange the letters are. I would be freaking out until I had some answers.
ReplyDeleteWhat if you don't like the answers?
DeleteLucas Durfee
DeleteWhich letter would you be freaking out about most. I would be most worried about the letter that said "Beware They're Coming To Get You!" This would be the letter I worry about most because I would think it was real. I thought that your summary was great!
Brandon Calkins,
ReplyDeleteI would be really scared because I got the different messages. My main goal would be to stay calm. Why, is because of the new message and what it could mean. As in, Jonah doesn't know what the message means.
If I were Jonah in this situation then I would be freaking out because of the message that said "BEWARE, THEY'RE COMING TO GET YOU!". Also the person that keeps calling him saying he's from the F.B.I. My goal would to be staying calm and trying to avoid it. I would be freaking out until I had a few answers.

ReplyDeleteIf I were Jonah I would be worrying about the letter that said "Beware they're coming to get you!" I think if these events were happening to me I would be freaking out. I would tell my parents that I was receiving letters that say weird things and that they do not have return addresses. I would want to talk to the F.B.I agent to see what he knows. I would also want to talk to Chips parents and chip to see what they think about the letters. In school I would try to not focus on the events happening to me. AT home I would try to do good on homework and try to act normal.
That sounds like a good plan.
DeleteAbril Ugalde
ReplyDeleteIf I were Jonah, I would be worried about all those mysterious letters Chip and I were recieving, and how the people sending the letters knew so much about Chip, and what they meant by that second letter reading, "Beware! They are coming back to get you." I would also be worried that a so called "James Reardon" was somehow connected to both Chip and I.
Good thoughts, but this chapter blog won't count unless you come back and write more---at least four (4) sentences. Try to eliminate some "and"s and use more periods to create more sentences.
DeleteAbril Ugalde

If I was Jonah I would be calm. I'd be calm and I would tell my parents that I was receiving strange letters with no return address. Then I would tell my dad that I want to meet the F.B.I. Agent in person so I could ask questions about my records. I would be calm because I handle scary or weird situations calmly. I would give both of the letters to my parents. I would try to stay focused in school, but when I'm home, focused on the letters.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good plan! It is a great talent to be able to stay calm and think straight.
DeleteJason Porteous
ReplyDeleteFor me I would be concerned that somebody has sent me a letter like that and I would be worried because I don't want somebody taking me.
Jason, I agree with your thoughts. However, you must write at least four (4) sentences to get credit. Try to use more periods and fewer "and". You may come back and add more sentences.

Lillyahna Mullins
ReplyDeleteIf I was Jonah i would be freaked out. I would wonder why i would have gotten the letters. I would want to know who James reardon was. I also wouldn't want to get taken from my family.
Zowie Anderson
ReplyDeleteIf I where Jonah I would be scared and freaked out like Jonah about the two letters he has gotten and tell my parents. I would also wonder if Jonah and Chip were brothers, because when Chip and Jonah broke into Chips Dad's safe they found a sticky note with James Rearden's name on it and a number. That would also make me wonder if James Reardon took people from their families and set up an adoption plan for them. I would also think that James Rearden is the one sending the letters to Chip and Jonah. I would think that that is why Chip and Jonah where one of the Missing. If I had a meeting with James Reardon I would have lots of questions to ask and also be a little bit worried that he would not answer some of the questions it have.
Rafe Card
ReplyDeleteChip is so stressed & determined because his dad never told him he was adopted. He asked & his dad told him the truth. He was mad that he wasn't told. Chip is anxious to know who his real parents are.
Rafe Card
DeleteSorry this is for 4 and 5
Would this issue stress you?
ReplyDeleteTylie Noructt
ReplyDeleteIf I was Jonah I am would probably be freaking out. I think I would be freaking out because Jonah is getting these weird letter and Chip is getting the same one. Then he finds out that the person that was talked to his dad on the phone, his name was on the post it note stuck to Jonah's files. Then there is also a possibility that Jonah and Chip might be related some how. Lastly, I would be freaking out because when Jonah wanted to say no to meeting James Reardon (The person his dad was talking to on the phone and the person that was on the post it note on his files) he said yes.
Rafe Card
ReplyDeleteif I where Jonah I would not freak out. I would be eager to know who my real parents where. It is a little weird that Chip and Jonah both have James Reardon under their files. They where both adopted at different places.
Be sure to capitalize!
ReplyDeleteIf I was Jonah, I would not be freaking out because I would have figured out that my dad was found and I would not have two worry about much but I would ask a lot of questions from dad because I would have never met him and would like to seek you out things about my other family. And if I was I would be worried about my dad would like me or if he would be mad to see me or if he would even want to see me but I would definitely like to meet him.
ReplyDeleteAddison Hollister
ReplyDeleteIf I were Jonah I would be most worried about figuring out what was happening and meeting the character James Reardon. I think I would be calm. If a guy from the FBI knew about me I would probably be a little shocked, but I wouldn't lose all of my marbles over something like that. I would be focused on talking to James Reardon to get more information on the scenario. Freaking out is something that I feel is not reasonable or fitting for the situation. I would be confused about my friend having the guy's number on his adoption records,but I would still try my best to stay calm and figure out exactly what is going on.
Brielle Johnson
ReplyDeleteIf I were Jonah I would be freaking out. I would be worried about the letters. I would have told my parents the minute I got the first letter. Something else I would be worried about is the FBI agent, James Reardon. I think that it would be a little weird if James Reardon knew all about me.
if i would to be Jonah I would be freaking out about my name in the file as James Reardon and i would be kind of worried out about the FBI agent with the name James Reardon winch could mney he is my dad that's way i am so worried abut the FBI agent.
ReplyDeleteJohn Rowe
ReplyDeleteIf I was Jonah, I would be freaking out about the case file. I wouldn't think that the "prank" letters were pranks anymore, I would think that there is something weird going on and I would freak out. I think that James Reardon is Jonah's dad. I also think that there is a coincidence going on with the letters and the post it notes. I think that someone is trying to warn them or tell them something that they don't know.
Casamaro White
ReplyDeleteBased on what I read, if I was Jonah I would be worried just like him it would be scary to find the name of a FBI agent in my file. I would also start to believe that the "prank" letters weren't really prank letters. Another reason I would be worried is the coincidence going on with letters and the post it note in the safe. I wouldn't be scared worried but a lot calmer than him. If I was Jonah I at this moment I would tell his parents about the "prank" letters as soon as I got them. To be Jonah would be hard in my opinion. His parents are always openly telling him he is adopted, and it is coming straight from a book. So many scary things are happening so fast I wouldn't be able to handle it. I would be worried like Jonah, but not as worried as he is his.
Lainey Hyde
ReplyDeleteIf I where Jonah I would be acting like him if I got a letter that said "Beware! They are coming back to get you". I would definitely tell my mom. I feel like I can tell anything to my mom. I would also be freaking out about that guy named James Reardon. That guy is freaky. First of all he works for the FBI. And he was the guy who answered the phone when Chip and Jonah were digging in the safe. I think that Jonah should have a meeting with James and ask him questions like, do you know anything about my birth mom or dad. I would also ask him if he knows who I am and ask him some questions about me and my life.
the things that i would remember is chip was adopted and wen they wet in the safe. and the post it not.
ReplyDeleteKenadee McKnight
ReplyDeleteIf I was Jonah's shoes I might be a bit scared. I would stay calm and process everything that is happening. I would also sit down and talk with my parents about everything. I also might try and calm down Chip and talk to him about everything.
Graycee Tibbals
ReplyDeleteFrom reading chapters 6,7and 8,If I was Jonah I would want to be worried about why the name James Reardon was in my file.I would be worried about why the FBI would even talk my bother away from me.I would not be freaking out like Jonah is.I can't stay without freaking out about stuff,but I am pretty good at staying calm.i would also be shaky and sweaty,but I wouldn't go bonkers like Jonah or Chip.I would also be very focused to be meeting James Reardon,and why was he in my file?
If I where in Jonah's shoes I would probably be scared but not freaking out and telling everybody. I would be little focaused but then forget about it. I probably would't worry about it. I'd think chip sent it to be funny/prank.

ReplyDeleteIf I was in the position Jonah is in, then I would also be totally Freaking Out! I would be freaking out because just hearing the phrase "Beware, They're Coming Back To Get You." It Would get me on edge by reading "Beware," then reading "They're Coming Back To Get You," would throw me OVER the edge. Their fourth, making me Totally Freak Out! I would go MAD from being so worried, I would probably isolate myself so I wouldn't have to deal with it!
Haelie Adams
ReplyDeleteFrom my reading I know, that I would not be calm, maybe more than other people. I would freak out and stress over the file. AS the events occurred I would be very scared and stressed at the point Jonah is at. This is a situation that I do not think I could handle at all.
If I were in Jonah's situation, I would be really scared and freaking out. On the outside, I would be calm and focused. I would look calm and focus because it helps me feel that I really AM calm and focus, not freaking out.
ReplyDeleteI would also investigate on my own. I might be able to figure out a few things then.
DeleteClayton Rigney
ReplyDeleteIf I were Jonah I'd be worried about who was sending the letters and why were they sending the letters. If these events were happening to me, I'd be freaking out too. I'd know nothing about myself or who I was. I'd have no one to talk to about everything that is happening.
If I were Jonah, I would be very nervous. You could even say that I’d be on the border of freaking out. I think that it would make me curious as to why James Reardon was a part of my file. If he was in the F.B.I., what business did he have with me? Just thinking about him would make me tremble. After knowing what his name is doing in my file, I wouldn’t do anything. What is there to do?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I would be worried and concerned, not only for myself, but for Chip as well. If the name James Reardon was in both files, what does that mean for us? Are we connected, or is it just some coincidence?
DeleteJessalyn Lewis
ReplyDeleteIf I was Jonah, I think I would be worried about the letters and who was sending them to me. I would be more worried about the person who is sending me the letters because maybe the person is a stalker and they are finding out information about me. I would also be worried about the letters because I worry easily. If I were to be getting creepy letters like Jonah, I would not be freaked out like he is. Instead I would be calm and focused on trying to figure out who is sending the letters. I would also be very anxious about the whole situation about the letters. I would be anxious because I would really want to know who was being really creepy and was sending me the letters.
If I was Jonha I know that there would be many things to worry about. One of the main things is that some guy, James Reardon answers to the phone to both my dad, and to the number Chip found on a yellow post it note. Also, I would worried about how how works for the FBI. Personally I would freak out if this would happen me. But I wouldn't completely lose it like he did.
ReplyDeleteAvery Paul
ReplyDeleteBased on what I read, if I were Jonah I would be very worried about why the name James Reardon was in my file. I would be worried about the FBI would even be bothering me. I think that I would not be freaking out like Jonah. I think why I wouldn’t be freaking out like Jonah is because I am very good at staying calm.
Levi Johnson
ReplyDeleteIf I were Jonah I wouldn't be "freaking out" but I would be a bit scared by the second letter. I don't freak out when strange things are happening, I usually just try to get my mind off of it and try to think about something else. If James Reardon was in my file I would probably think that he was a close friend of my parents and helped them out in some way. I would think that it's pretty cool that James Reardon is in in the FBI.
i would try my best to stay calm but i would probably would put some thought into it that would make me freak out about getting a note from some anonymous person and be told by my father that an FBI agent knows a lot about me

DeleteFrom my reading I know, that I would be trying to stay calm but most likly be freaking out because I am getting these letters and I don't know who is sending them. I would definetly be concerend about the James Readon guy because I don't know who this guy is and why he is apart of the adotion. I would thik about the most posible thing then start really freaking out.

ReplyDeleteI would for sure be “freaking out” not calm and focused. If I were Jonah I would be worried that I would be taken from my family. I love my family and would never want to get a “BEWARE!

Also, I would want to know who James Reardon is, and how he is apart of the adoption. I would be worried about how James Reardon is apart of the FBI and that he is on my file. I would especially be concerned about the letter that said "Beware! They're coming back to get you."
Aubrey Vaughn
ReplyDeleteIf I was Jonah, I would be freaking out if someone from the FBI was in my file. I hate getting in trouble and having the FBI in your folder isn't good news. I would also be worried about meeting the person from the FBI. I wouldn't really care if I got the letter that said "Beware! they are coming to get you." I would be way more concerned about this James Reardon guy and what he wanted from me.
If I was Jonah, I worried about someone coming to take me away even if they were my birth parents. Also I would be freaking out that some random person was going into my files. If it were my birth parents who are planning to take me I would still want to stay with my adopted parents. I would wonder why they left me. I would feel so scared to even leave my room I wouldn't leave to go eat I would only leave to go to the bathroom. I would be so terrified that I would lock all my windows and my door at night.

ReplyDeleteIf I were Jonah, I would be worried about a couple things. I would be worried about James Reardon being in my files and working for the FBI.

Sarah Polish
ReplyDeleteFrom my reading I know that Jonah learns some more about his adoption. In the text it states, that a contact person from Jonah's adoption file is James Reardon. If I were Jonah I would be worried that something bad was going to happen to Chip and I. Since their adoptions are connected through this man James Reardon who works for the FBI, I would be worried that James has something to do with the letters that were being sent to Chip and I. Based on what I read I can infer that Jonah was really freaked out about what he had just learned. If I were Jonah in this moment I would probably be freaking out too. For instance, It would be scary to know that my adoption and Chip's are connected through a man that works for the FBI. I would also freak out because that knowledge about James was just put on my file.
Raegynn Mayhue
ReplyDeleteIf I were Jonah I would be worried about meeting James Reardon and what I was going to ask him, who’s sending me and Chip the mysterious letters, and who’s coming to get me. In chapter six it stated, “Jonah felt a nervous twitch in his stomach. Mom walked across the room and laid the envelope on the desk, beside his social studies book. Once again, there was no return address. It was just a plain ordinary unmarked letter addressed to Jonah.” If these events ever happened to me I would be scared and stressed because I wouldn’t want to be take in away from my family.

ReplyDeleteMacray O'Neill
From my reading, I would say that if I where Johan I would probably freak out. Because I have gotten a random letter saying "BEWARE! They're COMING BACK TO GET YOU." and Johan doesn't know who sent the letter. Then his father contacts the Adoption Agency that they got Johan from. Then Johan got information from his father about a man named James Reardon. And if I were Johan I would kind of be freaking out because I have just learned that some man might know some information about my birth parent. Because Johan is adopted and wants to learn more about his birth parent.
ReplyDeleteFrom my reading, I know that my reactions would be freaking out. For the reason for that is imagine being Johan and experiencing everything he is going through. Because if I where Johan I would freak out about getting an letter saying "BEWARE! THERE COMING FOR YOU." and Johan has no idea who has been sending the letters. Or maybe there sent by different people. But then his farther calls the adoption agency where they got Johan. And the information they got was a mans name. The name of the man is James Reardon. And if I where Johan I would be freaking out because I have got information that there's a man that might have information about my birth parents. Because Johan has been wondering about his birth parents.

ReplyDeleteIf I were Jonah I would be worried if I was being spied on and meeting James Reardon.

Receiving a note saying "Beware, they're coming back to get you" would really scare me because that would mean someone would be coming to get me, and I wouldn't be able to do anything about it. If I had a friend who was going through what I was, I would be much calmer about the situation. I would look forwards to meeting James because I would want to know why he knew information on me.
If something like this were to happen to me I would be freaking out just like Jonah was in the book. The thing that I would be worried about in this situation is that I would want to know who is sending me the letters. Another thing that I would want to know is that who is the guy from the FBI who has details about my adoption. The main thing that I would really want to know is that how my friend who had nothing to do with me before this whole thing happened.

ReplyDeleteIf I was Jonah I think the thing I would be most worried about is the adoption files. I would be most worried about the adoption files because both of them had the last name Reardon connected to them. This is what I would be most worried about because they were from different adoption agencies and born in different places. The next thing I would be worried about are the letters but not as much as the name because the letters could be a prank. As these events occurred, I would be trying to stay calm and focused but actually be freaking out. I would be freaking out because I would be scared of what's happening and of what James Reardon could tell me.

ReplyDeleteIf I was Jonah I would be worried about someone trying to kidnap me. Jonah got a letter saying "beware their coming for you." I would feel very nervous that I was in danger.
Jonah was freaking out not calm and focused, but I think I would be in the middle of those emotions. I would be scared, but yet I would try to get help from others that I trusted. I would also want to talk with James Reardon to get more information.
I like the way you think, especially about getting help.

ReplyDeleteIf I were in Jonah’s shoes, I would be freaking out. The reason I would be freaking out is because it is weird to receive letters from people I don’t know. A letter saying “beware! They're coming back to get you. It is scary especially because it sounds like I’m going to be kidnapped. I would also be worried about meeting James Reardon, because there was a post it note that had the name James Reardon in Chip’s safe. I would also be nervous that he knows about my past.

ReplyDeleteAccording to the events that are occurring in the book, if I were Jonah I would be freaking out. I think that I would be worried about the letters that I was receiving and who is sending them to me. I would be scared if I got a letter saying that they're coming back to get me. The reason I would be freaking out is because I would have literally no idea about the letters, and knowing nothing about a situation scares me.
I agree. Not knowing something is the worst feeling because then I imagine all kinds of awful things.
DeleteIf I were Jonah in this situation I would be as stressed as him. The reasons for this are that I would be horrified. The other reason is that I would be confused and feel the need to figure this out. Those are the reasons why I would be as stressed as him.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you on your thinking!

ReplyDeleteIf I were in the situation Jonah was in I would definetly freak out. The main reason being, I don't normally get letter addressed to me unless their from my grandma in South Dakota. Obviously I think if I was getting strange letter I would definetly tell my parents, like really, why would you hide something that could be very concerning and yet so strange. It's basically getting letters from stalkers. And the whole James Reardon thing would have me down right scared. I wouldn't want to believe anything I would be hearing. A situation like that could really be stressful, especially for younger kids like Jonah and Chip.

ReplyDeleteIf I was Jonah I would be woried. I would be woried about why I kept getting notes from strangers and why they where so creepy. I would definitely be freaking out at this point. Plus the phone number to James Reardon. That's why I would be freaking out.

ReplyDeleteIf I were Jonah I would be worried that I would get kidnapped because in the letter it said "Beware they're coming back to get you." So, what I would be thinking, is someone is going to snatch me in the middle of the night when I am not expecting it. I would get anything I have to protect me. I think I would be freaking out, but not as much as Jonah is. I also would not think it was a prank, but I would be skeptical about the letters. I would want to get more details and know what the FBI agent knows about me.

ReplyDeleteIf I were Jonah I would be worried about people coming to get me. In fact when I was reading this I was reading it at night and I got so scared that I had a bad dream so I would be worried because I would fear people coming after me. Also if I were Jonah I would not think it is a prank I would think that someone is really coming after me. I would also like to know about what the FBI knows about me and my adoption. If I got a strange letter like this one I would not hide it from my parents I would show it to them immediately.

ReplyDeleteFrom my reading I know that the letter to Jonah states “BEWARE THEY’RE COMING BACK TO GET YOU”. If I was Jonah I would be worried about who those people are, what do they want from me and why are they coming after me. I would be very panicked at first and then I would try to calm myself and put my thoughts into perspective, so I could try to figure out who wrote those letters. I might have to have a friend or even a family member to help calm me down. And I would need to talk to someone to first get everything out in the open and also to help me think about who the person writing these letters are. I would perhaps think about did I make someone mad or even think if one of my family members made somebody mad.

ReplyDeleteIf I were acting as Jonah right now I would be very worried about getting more information about my birth parents. I would be worried about getting information on anything important. I would also be very scared and worried about meeting somebody else/ stranger. As the events would occur I would be trying to stay calm and focused because I will know what would happen when I meet someone else. I would stay calm because it might be easier to focus on what happens. I would focus because it is easier to listen and know what to do next. Evidence from the book: At the end of chapter 8 pg. 70, Jonah said yes to meeting a person named James Reardon, Jonah was freaking out a lot because James is a stranger to him. Jonah doesn’t know how James is like so he was probably scared and worried if James did something wrong to him and his family. If had to meet James Reardon with my family I would still be freaking out a lot even though I have my family coming with me during the meeting because I don’t know how he acts, he could be nice or mean.

ReplyDeleteIf I was Jonah and as the event occurred, I would be the opposite of Jonah I would be freaking out because you just got these letters from some stranger that said, "You are one of the missing." (Jonah got the letter on page 20.) Then you get another letter that says" Beware! They're coming back to get you." (Jonah got that letter on page 56.) Who wouldn't be freaking out (In my opinion.) because you got this letter and you don't even know if that is going to or if it's going to happen to you.

ReplyDeleteIf I were in Jonah's situation, I would be worried, but I wouldn't keep my mind on it. Sure, getting letters with random statements like, "You are one of the missing," or "Beware! They are coming back to get you," can be a little scary, but I would just ignore it. Then again, you have to take into account how your parents might react. They might become a lot more protective than before.

ReplyDeleteFrom my reading I know that Jonah is very stressed and “freaking out” about the letters and all the other similarities between him and Chip. If I were in Jonah’s shoes I would probably not freak out as much as he is. I do know that it would always bug me though. I know that I would always think twice about everything. I would also try calm Chip down so he doesn't bother me.

ReplyDeleteIf I were Jonah I would be worried about the newest letter. Since the newest letter said "Beware there coming back to get you" I would be worried because it sounds like someone is coming to kidnap me. As these events occurred I would probably be freaking out but I would want to be calm and focused because in any situation you should be calm.
