Where is A going on the morning that they inhabit Roger? School Church Band Rehearsal Basketball Practice Fill in the blanks from the quote on page 77. This passage is extremely important as it provides us with A's perspective on religion and how they have observed such similarities between many religions and religious services. Be sure to copy down the quote exactly as it is written, including punctuation, spelling, and grammar! You will not earn credit if it is not copied exactly as it is in the book- the program will only register it as incorrect...so make sure to proofread! "I have been to many religious services over the years. Each one I go to only reinforces my general impression that religions have much, much more in common than they like to admit. The beliefs are almost always the same; it's just that the histories are different. Everybody wants to believe in a higher power. Everybody wants to belong to something bigger than themselves, and everybody wants company in doing that. They want there to be a force of good on earth, and they want an incentive to be a part of that force. They want to be able to prove their belief and their belonging, through rituals and devotion. They want to touch the enormity." (77) When explaining their perspective on religion, A starts to further explain that it gets more complicated because of the finer points. A states that "We all have about 98 percent in common with each other...For whatever reason, we like to focus on the 2 percent that's different, and most of the conflict in the world comes from that." (77)Using the ranking system below and the space to provide your own insight and opinions, reflect on the passage and perspective A provides. Do you agree or disagree with A, that we are mostly all identical but we choose to focus on the differences rather than the similarities. To help you further answer and reflect on this question, I encourage you to go back to page 77 and read the entire second paragraph on the page. When is A finally able to check their email on a computer? At Roger's grandmothers house Before dinner when the girls are playing A sneaks onto the computer when everyone is asleep After dinner when Roger's mom is getting the three girls ready for bed A had to set up a new email address because of the one they gave Rhiannon at Steve Mason's party. When A logs into the new email account they set up that morning, what happens? There is no email from Rhiannon so A sends her an email instead There is an email from Justin telling A to back off his girlfriend There is an email from Rhiannon saying how much fun she had with A (who she believes to be Nathan) We do not learn what happened when A logged into their email because Roger's mom came in and told them to get off the computer When A later on logged into their own personal email (pages 79 and 80) they find an email from Nathan Daldry (Day 5999) who they left in the car on the side of the road after the party at Steve's house. In your own words, explain what the email said. Consider what Nathan tells A, what Nathan feels, and what Nathan thinks A is or has done. Your answer must be at least one complete sentence. This means it follow punctuation, capitalization, and grammatical rules! How did Nathan get access to A's email address? They remembered A logging into their own email address when they were inhabited A forgot to log out and clear the history when Nathan's mom came into the room A had written down the information on a piece of paper and forgot to throw it away Nathan is the same as A and also switches bodies every day so he knew how to gain access to the email address Fill in the blanks according to A's final thoughts before going to sleep as Roger. Remember, you will not earn any credit if the quote is not copied down exactly how it is written in the book! "For a while, though, I can't go to sleep. I lie in bed, stare at the ceiling. This is the irony: Even though I wake up in a different body every morning, I've always felt in some way that I am in control. But now I don't feel in control at all. Now there are other people involved." On the morning of Day 6001, A (as Margaret) logs into the email account they had set up from Nathan to find an email response from Rhiannon. Which description below best matches the email Rhiannon sent to A (Nathan)? She was not happy to hear from Nathan because her and Justin got in a fight about him She was not happy to hear from Nathan because she got in trouble with the cops and "Nathan" ran away and didn't She was happy to hear from Nathan as she also had a great time dancing with him and agrees that he is her type "personwise" as well She was happy to hear from Nathan because she didn't think anyone related to or connected to Steve could be nice since he is so rude to people at her school She was happy to hear from Nathan because she wanted answers as to why they got along so well and hit it off Drag a line to match the descriptions to the fill in the blanks Nathan said he felt like he was _ Sleepwalking Nathan thinks he must have been possessed by a _ Demon Nathan was found, sleeping in his car on the side of _ Route 23 The headline of the news article said: THE DEVIL MADE HIM DO IT The cops said that most teenagers would blame their decisions on _ alcohol All day, Nathan claimed he didn't feel like and wasn't _ himself If you were in Nathan's situation, meaning, you woke up on the side of the road in your car with no drugs or alcohol in your system and felt like you had been possessed or taken over by something for the day, do you think your family would believe you? Why or why not?To help you better answer this question, go back and read from the middle of page 85 to the top of page 87 to see how A describes Nathan's situation and reaction. In your response, be sure to not only provide whether your family would believe your not but WHY they would or wouldn't believe you. Be sure to also use at least one complete sentence and follow the proper rules of capitalization, punctuation, and grammar! What is something that Sam, Margaret's boyfriend, do that annoys A? He is rude to Margaret, just like Justin is to Rhiannon He chews really loud at lunch He wants to kiss her all of the time He keeps talking about how he read this article about a boy being possessed by a demon What does Rhiannon say in her email to "Nathan" towards the end of Day 6001? That she found out Steve does not have a cousin, Nathan That she saw the article about Nathan in the paper wants answers That her and Justin broke up and she could really use a friend Rhiannon does not email A (thinking it is Nathan) again At the end of Day 6001, A emails Rhiannon and says that they would like to explain in person. While A tells Rhiannon this, they tell us (the readers) that they don't plan on telling her the truth, they just wanted to give themselves more time to lie.What lie or excuse do you think A is going to come up with? Consider what you would say if you were in A's situation. Or, do you think A won't end up lying and will end up telling the truth? If you think A will tell the truth, why don't you think they followed through with lying? This question does not need to be answered using complete sentences, but you STILL NEED TO CAPITALIZE WHEN NECESSARY.
