Oscar's Feelings
Angry- he got really angry and frustrated at Sherman for ruining his relationship with Nia and for telling her about the messages, and for making her think that Oscar made her like him.
Desperate- when he tried to make Nia believe him that he wasn't making her like him and that she would be turning into a perfect Candor citizen
Shocked- when he sees Nia in the shop as a changed girl, not bad but perfect and changed.
Fear- When he hears that there has been graffiti and it's orange, because he know who exactly did it. Nia.

Confused- When Sherman tells her about the messages
Un trustful- when Oscar admits to giving her messages and she is not sure whether she actually likes her.
Hurt- that Oscar lied to her about the messages
Revengeful- When she graffitis the messages everywhere.
Surprised- when she meets Oscar in the Super Market and he knows her.
IS THERE ANY OTHER EMOTIONS I HAVE MISSED?

Predictor

I think somehow Oscar will be able to get Nia back to normal and take down his dad. I’m just not sure how.

  • One connection I have between the text and the world outside is when the Candor families have their bricks engraved and placed near the flagpoles. When I was younger and my family bricked some of our backyard and my sisters and I got to have our names on a brick.
  • Also when Nia made the lean-to, the connection to the outside world was when I was younger my friends and I would always make these ‘houses’ with branches in the park.
  • When Oscar said he was a boy scout, the connection to that is that I am a scout.
  • When Oscar said it had been raining for days and Nia and him couldn’t meet up, but could not wait, so they planned to meet up in the shed. The connection to that is once it was raining for a few days without stopping and my family and I had had enough of being indoors, so we went outside and got soaked.
  • When Campbell (Oscar’s dad) sends Oscar to go grocery shopping every Saturday morning the connection with that and the outside world is that my dad and I would always go grocery shopping every Saturday morning.




Candor- Lit Circles- Week 3 (Will)
Vocabulary enricher
  • Khakis- this word has interesting spelling (a brownish colour/clothing).
  • Messages- everyone else did this word; it is an important part of the story.
  • Brainwash- the subliminal messages don’t necessarily wipe the mind of anyone, but they do control people’s actions.
  • Crazy- Oscar tries to convince Nia that Sherman is crazy. If someone told you about messages would you think they’re crazy?
  • Special- Oscar and Nia describe their relationship as being special, this is probably because they both can think for themselves.
  • Music- the messages are hidden in music, Oscar’s music had messages that he makes in it too.
