Question Dec.1-11 Silent Reading Ninjas

This theme of Silent to the Bone for us is communication it talks about Branwell had to go through many problems during this. He had nothing to do except worry. Worry about about his sister, worry about his family, worry about his friends. His friends worry about him, and he worries about his future. They had to find a way of communicating throughout this story. Using the blinking of the eyes, and everything else. They found a way and it works well. Throughout this whole thing everyone was with him using different ways of communicating with him.

    The second theme in Silent to the Bone that we picked is Isolation.  Isolation means to be alone.  We picked this because the whole time Branwell was somewhat left out.  We know that he could see people, but only for a while.  We can relate to this because when we took a test we couldn't talk even after we were all done.

Another theme of our book is "Power of Silence". One way our book shows this theme is Branwell uses silence to express his feelings about what had happened. Another way our booked showed silence was Branwell showing his power of what he said and what he held in. A third way our book showed silecne was Branwell was in shock in the start of the book and that is what made him silent in the first place. A fourth way how our book showed silence was when he went to the behavioral center and did not talk to any ony besides have his best friend Connor help him speak.

Our theme for the book is isolation. Isolation means being alone. Branwell relates to this theme because his mom died and his dad got remarried so he doesn't pay attention to Branwell. Branwell also has to take care of Nikki because Vivian does not pay attention to the baby.

The Silent Confessions

The theme of our book is Connor is trieing to get Branwell to talk so things can get back to normal. An example of this theme is Branwell wouldnt talk to any one besides Connor. We think Branwell wasnt talking because he was really mad at Vivian. Also we think Branwell maybe was upset because Vivian was blaming on him. In the end we figured out Vivian was acually pressuring the baby.

11-31-11 Silent Reading Ninjas

5 Questions we would ask Branwell are...........why did you become silent? What really happened that day of the 911 call? Were you forced to watch over Nikki, or did you want to? If you could go back in time to change one thing in your life what would it be and why? Would you change that Morris and Vivian ever meet?
