**__Meaningful Contributions to the Wiki__** The reason for me choosing this book would be because of the handout you gave us in class. I have never heard of any of the books before and this one sounded the most interesting. __ November 23, 2011 ____ - ____ 1:34 p.m. __ - **2. Why do you think Percy refers to all the clichés as tribes?** __ November 23, 2011 ____ - ____ 1:38 p.m. __ - **3. Why do you think Percy refers to all the clichés as tribes?** I personally believe this has to do with Percy's father and how he used to live with a tribe. __ November 23, 2011 ____ - ____ 1:38 p.m. __ - **4. What was the reason for Percy to force a pin through the skin around his left nipple?** __ November 23, 2011 ____ - ____ 11:27 p.m. __ - **5. What was the reason for Percy to force a pin through the skin around his left nipple?** I do not quite understand the reason for him doing this. Does it have something to do with an illness that he has? Maybe he wanted to inflict pain upon himself to get his mind off of the pain he is feeling from his father's death? Does it have something to do with the Beothuks rituals?Also, why does he call it a ritual? Does he do this everyday?Let me know what you guys think. __ November 23, 2011 ____ - ____ 11:27 p.m. __ - **6. What has happened in this novel so far that has affected you in some way?** The biggest thing that I have learned is how much Percy loves his father.Percy remembers his father as an individual that he loved, and looked forward to seeing everyday. Even though Percy wouldn't see his father for months at a time, Percy always knew that his father would come back; and now that his father is dead, the reality of never seeing his father again has come true and this is effecting Percy greatly.It sounds that Percy was a little bit of the odd child before his father's death, but it seems that after his father died, Percy has taken his odd behavior to the next level. Everything that Percy does seems to remind him of his father. (ex.) Eating a hamburger, seeing an airplane. This all reminds Percy of his father, and this upsets Percy very much. __ November 28, 2011 ____ - ____ 10:21 p.m. __ - **7. Where do you see Percy and Elissa’s relationship going?** Let me know what you think! :D __ November 30, 2011 ____ - ____ 4:45 p.m. __ - __ December 13, 2011 - 12:51 p.m. __ Considering all the highschool students (including Percy)are in this "Grad Tribe," does this mean that they are all from the same tribe? Should they all learn to get along considering that they are all from the same tribe? If this stands true, then why did Percy feel like he crossed over into Justin's territory when they are from the same tribe? I find this quote both confusing and contradicting. Give your thoughts. __ December 13, 2011 - 12:51 p.m. __ -
