So far Gemma, Felicity and Ann went to the realms one more time since Pippa died. They didn’t expect to see her there because she’s supposed to cross over. If she doesn’t cross over Circe’s darkness will corrupt her soul and turn her evil. When they saw her there she told them that she would be able to stay in the realms without getting corrupted. Since it was around Christmas time they were all going back home for the holidays and Felicity took Ann with her so they could meet up at Felicity’s ball and the three of them could go to the realms and visit Pippa again. While Gemma was going home from the train station she met Miss Moore along the way, (Miss Moore was their old art teacher and the four of them were responsible getting her fired) Miss Moore invited Gemma, Felicity and Ann to her house for tea and they are planning to ask her if she knows more about the Order since she told them the stories and they found out it was all true.
3. Tell what you noticed about the characters, such as what made them act as they did or how they changed.
Felicity was going to change Ann into a whole new person from an orphan to someone related to Russian royalty which is what Felicity is tell her mom so she will let Ann stay with her. Ann’s borrowing her “fabulous” clothes and accessories. Then Ann went to all of these special events with Felicity like her mom’s club and they didn’t invite Gemma. At first Gemma was jealous Felicity wouldn’t loan things to her then when they went places without inviting her she got very jealous. Then Gemma tried getting back at Felicity by tell her she would figure out things about the realms by herself. Then Felicity stopped being so mean and invited Gemma to the club with her and Ann. When Gemma used to live in India she wasn’t all stupid and she didn’t over react about EVERYTHING she never let something so little make her so jealous and she shouldn’t be jealous Ann is an orphan her fate is already sealed she is to become a maid at Spence Academy write when she gets out of school, so Gemma should let her have this little thing because Gemma is not going to become a maid for the rest of her life.
5. Write your predictions and about whether your predictions were right.
One of my predictions is when they ask Miss Moore if she know more about the realms and if she thinks they are real I think she will confess that she knows they are real and/or tell them more about the realms. It’s going to be awkward talking to her after they got her fired.
7. Tell about the connections that you made while reading the book. Tell how it reminds you of yourself, of people you know, or of something that happened in your life. It might remind you of other books, especially the characters, the events, or the setting.
The connection I made is that Felicity is being a typical mean girl to her best friends. She know that by taking Ann places without her and letting Ann borrow her fancy clothes it is making Gemma jealous and for some reason she likes that. She probably just wants that control over Gemma. Another connection is Felicity is always trying to get power that’s why she learned archery in the realms and she’s very vindictive, this reminds of Lex Luthor from the show Smallville. Lex has a great hunger for power and he’s always testing these unusual things and wants to know about unexplained things which is mostly caused by Clark Kent. It’s kind of like Felicity except she probably wouldn’t start testing and researching dangerous and unusual things because they didn’t have the technology back in the Victorian age.
doesnt ‘ann’ have an ‘e’ at the end of it??
