Blog 27: TBCC End

Our reading of The Body of Christopher Creed is done! For each class period, there is a writing prompt; you may only complete the questions for your class period. Be sure your response is at least TWO paragraphs in length. Pull a quotation from the book where applicable. If you finish early, try writing on one of the other questions for review.

How does the book end?!?! Did you enjoy how the author, Carol Plum-Ucci, concluded the story? Why/ why not? If you were the author, how would you have ended everything? Be very specific in your answer, and pull a quotation from the text as to what you liked/ did not like.

Torey goes through some mental problems after finding Bob Haines' body. Justin Creed admits that his mom knew about the letter Mr. Ames received about Chris Creed. Torey then starts up a website to try to find Chris Creed because he knows Creed likes electronics at his knew school. Torey grew his hair, and swore he would not cut it until they find Creed. Finally, Torey wrote letters to people based on the names that appeared in Chris Creed's letter. He received letters in return. He then came up with "awards" about how close the person responded to how Creed would respond.

I did not like the way Carol Plum-Ucci ended the book. The ending of the book was written with too much ease. If Torey knew where this "Reply that makes me believe totally that Creed is alive" (Plum-Ucci 327). I know this person said that Creed was not ready to be found, but he still could have dropped by to see, Victor Adams (possibly Chris Creed). I do agree with Torey's choice for Creed, since Victor was correcting statements of Torey's.
