  7. #1. The bomber used Turtle's candle to set off the bomb.

    1. I do agree that the bomber used turtle's candle as a bomb because he put "monosodium glutamate" behind similar cans on a shelf. He also set a color stripped candle to burn down to the fuse at six-thirty.

  8. #2. mementos are objects kept as reminders or souvenirs of people or events. this word was found on page 72. Madame Hoo was looking at mementos from her chiildhood in China.

  9. #3. The word "demeaning" means causing someone to lose their dignity and the respect for others. The word "demeaning" is found on page 74. To smile without a good reason means, if your thoughts are respectful and you're happy, you can smile.

  10. #7 the bomber is planning to bomb angelas party. I think the bomb is trying to hit the party because he wants to wipe out all the other players and get the money.

    1. i think Angela might be the bomber because she would know if people will be there.

    2. I think so too because, in the end of chapter 10 Angela wonders why everyone likes Dr. Denton Deere and if they thought she was nobody without him. And then it says that the bomber would strike at Angela's and Denton's wedding shower and since Angela doesn't like Denton Deere I think it might be her.

  11. #4 Just when Otis Amber walked into Shin Hoo's restaurant and said the roads were clear a bomb went off. I think this was planned because maybe the bomber told Otis Amber to do that as a distraction so that everyone would turn their heads and maybe to get Mr. Hoo out of the kitchen.

    1. I agree with Cami because in the beginning of the 13th chapter it said that the bomb would go off at six-thirty and all the people would be at the other end of the room and no one would get hurt.

  12. #5. Demeaning means causing someone to lose their dignity and the respect of others. It shows up on page 74. It is demeaning to smile without reason because if you are always smiling you may not be taken seriously or may not be respected.

  14. #3 the only person to talk to chris and ask him questions is Sydelle Paulski. She thinks people will see them talking and laughing and come over to their table but they don't. I think she sees chris as an attention grabber.
