Chapter 7
• What do you think will happen now that Papa was hurt?
• Was Papa right to be so mad at Grandfather? Why or why not?
• How did Sarah demonstrate her bravery in this section?
1. Because Papa is hurt, I think that Grandfather somehow will save the day and fix his leg.
2. Yes, he was right because he didn't know that Grandfather couldn't write and never sent him notes. But, when he he figures out that he dosn't read, he should forgive him.
3. I think Sarah demonstated her bravery by standing up to John and demanding that he should go to Sam's.
1 He will have to go to sam and get a cast because papa broke his leg. 2 Yes because john left his wife and jacob at the house. 3 she stood up at the table to stop the fightin with jacob and grandfather.
I think that he will have to go see Sam and get a cast on his leg.
Yes, because if you look at it from your prospective, if your dad ran away and you thought he was dead than wouldn’t you be mad that your mom lied to you and that he didn’t send you any letters.
She had walked up to the family that had just experienced a babys death from influenza (the flu) and she was willing to go and comfort the family even though she might get influenza.
I think since Papa's hurt he won't be really be able to do farm work so everyone will have to help out. Papa does have kind of a right to be mad at Grandfather because Grandfather just left when he was a little boy but Papa should also not be too mad at Grandfather because he hasn't seen him in a long time so he should be a little happy to finally get to see him. Sarah demonstrated her bravery when she went to the cemetery and she knew there was sickness but she didn't care.
I think Papa will have to be in pain for a few more days or even weeks and grandfather will be sorry for what he did so he will act nice
I think Papa was right at being mad at his grandfather because atleast he could have written him a letter. Grandfather ran away with leaving Papa and his mother crying constantly, when they think he was dead! And then years later he came back! Grandfather should be ashamed and sorry for what he did.
Sarah showed her bravery at this time by running to the barn to help papa.
Maybe papa will have a broken leg I'm not sure It was wrong for papa to be mad at grandfather because he got lost. because she knew papa was angry and she knew he would scare Cassie
1. I think that Grandfather will have to take over and do Papa's job. Sarah will be mad at both Papa and Grandfathe because they cannot communicate in a way that they are not physically effecting one another and cannot tell each other the truth about the fact that Grandfather cannot read. 2. Papa was wrong to be so mad at Grandfather because he simply does not know the truth about Grandfather. Like Sarah said, they need to talk to each other and realize thier accidents and apologize and then hug. NOT PUSH!!!!! 3. Sarah demonstrated her bravery by trying to tell Papa why she should talk to Grandfather and she tried to bring them together and have them love each ohter again.
1. I think now that papa is hurt the kids and Sarah will have to do all the work on the farm. Maybe even Grandfather will have to do some work. Maybe
2. Papa was and was not right to be mad at Grandfather. He was right because his dad just walked away from him and left him when he was a kid. He didn’t even right him any letters, however he is wrong because he couldn’t write any letters, he didn’t know how. The thing is papa doesn’t know that.
3. Sarah demonstrated bravery when she fought with the doctor, Sam. That’s bravery because Anna could get fired since Anna is dating Sam’s son and it is Anna’s step mom who is fighting.
Now that Papa's hurt, I think something very serious will take place like surgery. I think this because Papa is a very powerful man and if he gets hurt, it's horribly painful. However, it was not okay to get angry at someone that long, especially your father. Jacob has to get to know is father and he will learn why he never wrote a letter to him and the Witting family. Sarah demonstrated her bravery n this section of Caleb's Story by forcing Papa to chill out and not fight in front of his children, who might learn from Jacob's wrongness. Sadly, John takes it outside makes an injury take place just in time for the wicked storm.
I think what would happen since papa is hurt is that he could have not finished fixing some of the fences so they could break, it can be more risky, and might not always be safe. I don't think it's right for papa to be mad at grandfather because papa is talking harshly and grandfather wasn't, and papa says that grandfather didn't write him a letter however grandfather couldn't because he can't read. Sarah showed her bravery in the section is that she stood up to papa to say not in front of the children while Cassie was scared and crying.
#1 I think that Papa might be hurt very badly for a while. That means that he can not get the house ready for the big storm. Possibly the house or barn may collapse. #2 I think it was right because how would you like it if your dad just ran away from you. #3 Sarah showed bravery when she fought with doctor Sam. That is bravery because Sam might get really angry. Dr. Sam is already sad because his son Justin is fighting in a war.
1. I think that since papa is hurt, he might need surgery. 2. Papa is right to be mad at Grandfather, because he left his wife and Jacob. However it isn’t very nice to be mad at somebody for that long, especially a relative. 3. Sarah showed her bravery by insisting that Grandfather go to Doctor Sam and telling Jacob that he really shouldn't fight with Granfather in front of Cassie and Caleb.
I think he will not be able to do the work. Grandfather and Caleb will have to make up for Papa. I think he should've had the right to be mad at him. A grandfather is supposed to try and keep in touch with his children and grand children. He also should not have gotten mad at him because John didn't know how to read. If he can't read, he can't write. Sarah showed her bravery by helping John with Papa. She did it even though she didn't want to. I wouldn't have done that. Even with all of the screaming that Papa did. I would've stopped in a flash.
I think that now that papa got hurt, sam will treat his leg. It is ok to be mad at grandfather if he knew how to read and write, but grandfather couldn't. Sarah forced papa and granfather to go to the barn.
I'm answering this from a perspective of a person who has not read the book, so here goes nothing:
• I don’t know what will happen. Jacob may or may not let John help. Sarah, though, may pull through. She just may force Jacob to let John fix his leg. I guess time will reveal itself.
• I don’t think Jacob was SANE; even, to talk to his father that way. I do understand where he is coming from, but my parents who are fully grown (maybe even slightly more) don’t talk to their parents that way. He isn’t being a good role model for Anna and Caleb.
• Sarah had stopped John and Jacob from fighting, taught Jacob some manners (which he seriously needed), and made John go to the doctor (which in my eyes, is a great achievement).
Papa was right to be mad at Grandfather because Grandfather could have at least come back for one day at least. But where he went wrong was when he said that he could have written him a letter. Grandfather couldn’t have written one because he can’t read or write. I personally feel bad for Grandfather because he wanted to write but he couldn’t. Sarah showed her bravery by standing up to papa and forcing to go into the barn. Except, Sarah’s bravery kind of came back to her when Jacob broke his leg. I think that it will take days until Dr. Sam comes back to help Papa with his broken leg. They’re in hot water.
Now that papa is hurt, I think Cassie will cry and the story will go to unexpected turns.
ReplyDeletePapa thought he was right, but he didn't know that grandfather cant read or write.
Sarah probably cars more about Cassie and Caleb then for herself.
1. Because Papa is hurt, I think that Grandfather somehow will save the day and fix his leg.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, he was right because he didn't know that Grandfather couldn't write and never sent him notes. But, when he he figures out that he dosn't read, he should forgive him.

ReplyDelete2 Yes because john left his wife and jacob at the house.
3 she stood up at the table to stop the fightin with jacob and grandfather.
I think that Papa will be fine after the accident.
ReplyDeletePapa has a right at Grandfather because he had never written him a letter.
Sarah was brave by going over to the funeral and trying to help.
I think that he will have to go see Sam and get a cast on his leg.
ReplyDeleteYes, because if you look at it from your prospective, if your dad ran away and you thought he was dead than wouldn’t you be mad that your mom lied to you and that he didn’t send you any letters.
