Adam's spirits soared. Roger had not disappeared from the face of the earth. Roger had not forgotten all about him. (He felt ashamed that in this most unhappy moments he had almost thought that.) Roger was riding all over southern England on Bayard looking for him, and tomorrow he would go straight to London and find Roger. Then together they would find Jankin and get Nick back. I think this is important because it gives Adam new found hope. Adam now knows for sure that Roger was looking all over him. He knew where Roger was and Adam could now find him.
I also agree with you because Adam has been searching for Nick and Roger for a long time and to hear that they're still doing fine would definitely give Adam hope.
Still Adam stood there, rumpled from his tussle, his hood pushed back on his shoulders, his cap on the ice at his feet, and his tousled sandy head bare in the wind. "Gorhambury," he was thinking. "It's near St. Alban's. Nick's gone back to Dame Malkin's looking for me. There's where Nick is!" I think this is the most important part because it talks about Adam having a good idea of where nick is and I think that it is awesome. Also now if he finds nick there he only has to look for Roger and he has a small idea where Roger is.
I agree with you because I just want Adam to find Nick and Roger. I think if he find Nick, it would be great because like you said, he already knows where Roger is.
They were the wrong kind of minstrels. He did not want to be like them any more. He wanted to be a parish clerk. He was going to be a real minstrel like Roger.He lost his harp, it was true. He just needed to get it back again.What he must do, he told himself, breathing on his stiff fingers to warm them, was to go straight back to London and de Lisle House. I think this is important to the book because it's when he decides he doesn't want to be a minstrel just like Roger. It's a huge change from what he wanted to be.
I agree with you because he seemed so passionate about being a minstrel. To get rid of that idea means to give up your passion for the time being and go after other things.
I agree with you because Adam always just followed Roger and did what he did but with out him Adam has made choices from him self and I think that is a big choice and it is something very important.
I agree with the passage, but disagree with your reasons. I think it is important because it is when he finally ditches the other minstrels who are just weighing him down. It is when he relizes that he must go one without them. It is when he learns how to survive out on the road. He takes a bad situation and desides what to do without anyone's help.
I agree with Megan because he seems very passionate about being a minstrel and didn't like when he didn't look like one. But still, a very important passage.
Pg. 272 Adam scuffled his feet uneasily. The man meant that he had been boasting. Roger used to say that he had the tendency that way. It took him a little while to recover from that uncomfortable episode.
I think this is important because when a person is told that they're slightly arrogant, loud, etc., they tend to lose hope in themselves. When Adam heard that people thought he was boastful, he probably changed the way he looked at himself and lost a little bit of hope, which would likely affect his journey. Do you agree with me? Why or why not?
“Long before morning Adam decided that he would not go on with the de Versys, even if he could find them again.” “They were the wrong kind of minstrels.” I chose this because it’s when Adam decided that the Verseys weren’t good minstrels or good people for that matter. I think he made the right decision since they weren’t nice. Do you agree with my paragraph? Explain.
I agree with you because if Adam had stayed with them, it would've changed the remaining part of the book. Adam wouldn't have heard about Nick and Roger and he would've been in much more trouble with the police.
Hello!! We are trying something different! I will be looking for original posts and comments as we continue our Literature Circles on the Medieval Ages.

ReplyDeleteI think this is important because it gives Adam new found hope. Adam now knows for sure that Roger was looking all over him. He knew where Roger was and Adam could now find him.
I agree with you Megan I think it is important because Adam has to find nick and Roger so he can't give up.
DeleteI also agree with you because Adam has been searching for Nick and Roger for a long time and to hear that they're still doing fine would definitely give Adam hope.
DeleteI agree with you because he knows Roger was looking for him and was very worried and they can soon find each other and get Nick back.
DeleteStill Adam stood there, rumpled from his tussle, his hood pushed back on his shoulders, his cap on the ice at his feet, and his tousled sandy head bare in the wind. "Gorhambury," he was thinking. "It's near St. Alban's. Nick's gone back to Dame Malkin's looking for me. There's where Nick is!"

I agree with you because it leads up to the next chapter and I'm sure that if Adam finds Nick he will feel a lot better.
DeleteI agree with you because I just want Adam to find Nick and Roger. I think if he find Nick, it would be great because like you said, he already knows where Roger is.
DeleteI agree with you because he has confidence he can find them and he has hope which is something you should have in circumstances like these.
DeleteI disagree with you because I don't think it is that important. It's the part after this that is more important.

I agree this helped Adam to have hope in himself and to be able to look forward and try to make the best of things.
