1)Where could Mehmet have been? Why would her parents not make her go to school?

What happened to Mehmet, and where was he at, and well the family move to their uncle's house? Yes, because if he's been taken they need to leave so this event doesn't happen again.In In the United States we have suffered for many years with the national debt. It is growing and the government has been trying everything they can to cut their spending. In Iowa the Education level has been dropping putting us below average compared to other states. There has been many robberies and other bad things happening on the "bad side of Waterloo" for many years. This has been an ongoing event and will most likely be for a while.

1) after reading this chapter i am very puzzled in so many diffrent ways. i have no clue where the boy could have been. its weird to me to think that he was gone for months, but he is still alive. on the news you always here of these people that are gone missing for so long and they are dead. i would like to know where he was and how he survived.
ReplyDelete2) i do think that he should listen to the advice to leave. i think he should because obviously its not a save invironment. i think that they shouldn't have moved there in the first place because they aren't the same type of person and usually that means some kind of trouble, and i think the police would just take it out on the kids instead of the parents to really show a point.
