no i do not think that Katie's mom is doing the right thing because as what we talked about today right there is a boy's life at stake and if he dies it will be all Katie and her mom's fault also if they do tell there parents will be in relief to know that he was not kidnapped or anything else like this and they will also then find out that rob ran away or is just hiding somewhere i also think that he won't risk his life just for a mid-term i think that he will come back home.
no, i dont think that her mom did the right thing. like mr cheney said, if his daughter knew something, and didnt say it, he would. i think thats what katies mom shouldve done. she was like mr cheney said, a hypocrite. she told katie to do the right thing, but the mom isnt doing the right thing.
I dont think that it was the best thing to do for this emergency, katie's mom picked the wrong time to try to teach/parent her child. she should have just told rob's parents and give the phone to katie the minute she knew. It would have saved rob's life. Katie's mom could have been just trying to please her daughter, i think she knew that if she took the phone and called rob's parents right away, katie would get upset. But then again, in this case its an emergency, and katie's mom should have told katie how much of an emergency it is and that she needs to make a decision. Or, something that is in my opinion, more realistic; to inform katie that it is very important to give the pieces of information that will probably save rob's life.
In this book, i would have wanted katie's mom to react normally in an emergency, it didnt seem realistic for a mother not to freak out on her daughter for not telling her the truth to save one of her closest friend.
@ Donna yes that is true this small fact can save his life do you think that Katie's mom would right now please her because i do not think that she is doing that i think that she is teaching her the lesson.
no i dont think she did the right thing.a lesson is not worthy when someone might be bleeding to death, beat up, or even dead.i think telling them that he cheated and was scared is really valueable information.they can then knw that their child is not injured or anything.i know that if i was robs mom, i wouldwant to know anything i could get my hands on. and at that point any information is better than none.i think katies moms parenting wasnt good that time.i think if she told them they would know where to start looking. i think mr cheney was right. a good way to do it is let your child do it, if not, than do it yourself
no, I think Katie's mom is doing the bad thing. If something happens to Rob, it would be all their fault. If Katie's mom knows almost exactly the same information Katie knows, then Katie's mom should tell them. One key thing I learned today was that any information related to the topic is very crucial, it is the key to saving someone's life or etc. Plus, if something DOES happen to Rob then they would feel a huge guilt for the rest of their live. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that Rob's safety is mostly depending on Katie's and her mom's decision. Also, if Katie's mom is trying to teach Katie to take decisions for her own then this would not be the best time. On the hand, Sarah is being really calm which is kind of bad. She just like cut the phone on an emergency crisis like this. At the end I agree with Mr.Cheney that Sarah and Katie come from to different places like their morals and values are different cause of the environment or society they live in. Sarah is calm and she doesn't care a bit but Katie is worried and crying with her mom.
After hearing the conversation today, I think that Katie's mom is doing the wrong thing and should just tell Rob's parents rather than teach Katie a lesson by making her tell them. I think this will allow Rob's parents to be less stress full because they have more information and a better understanding to why their son ran away rather than having no information at all.I feel that finding Rob is way more important than teaching your daughter a lesson especially at a time like that.
@ wario I don't think she will tell them if rob dies cause she might feel like a criminal and have so much guilt to not tell them cause maybe Katie would think that if she told them after they would call the police and second of all why woild she tell Rob cheated after his death no point of that right!?
@wario I think Katie would be upset and embarrassed, if her mom called and told Rob's parents about them cheating. She may feel like she's being a snich
@shelby why would she be called a snitch for doing the right thing because i think that rob will not call her a snitch if she is trying to save his life.
@malav but after all that crying would you stop thinking at that spot about rob being dead no you always have your inner voice tell you "is rob actually dead".
Katie does not have a lot of information or proof that Rob is dead she only has that strong feeling, as readers we know that Rob is alive and Katie is wrong.
@ shelby I think either Katie will think fast and make the right decision or Katie's mom will do it with out Katie knowing but I think Katie will find out though.
NO I don't think Katie's mom is doing the right thing because If Katie was able to make the right decision she would have chosen the not to cheat and while Katie make her decision in peace rob is starving and cold and may even die.
I agree with wario, life is more important than learning a lesson. If you don't have life than you will never learn a lesson but if you don't learn a lesson then you can learn it some next day because you have life!!!!!
@wario I agree that when katiemom left the room she was not mad and also if she wanted to call robs parent she would have told them when Katie told her.
@mario I think lessons and experinces are important in your life, because that's what shapes you into the person that you are. But in this case I feel that teaching a lesson is the least of our worries
@wario I changed my mind that Katie is being a snitch because I agree with what your saying so at this point I'm not sure what's stopping Katie from telling Rob's parents
@wario I think what stopping Katie from telling is that first of all Sarah says no and her mom says that she should tell.second of all rob might think she a snitch.
I think MAYBE JUST MAYBE it can be Sarah. Like maybe she wants to listen to her and she might be scared if she doesn't listen to Sarah but it can also be Rob himself coming home safe and hating Katie for being a snich. Maybe Rob is planning to come home so maybe Katie is just waiting for more time to see if he is still running away, then she might act serious
I think Katie's mom isnt doing the right thing because in the situation like that she has to act like responsible parent and encourage Katie to tell and if she doesn't then do it herself because I think it would put Rob's parents on a little more relic because they have no idea what happened to him and might be thinking of random ideas. and are very worried.
@JAN101 yes it is non of her business but you must conciser if something does happen to him then she will or might feel guilty about not saying anything.
@Wario,I agree Even through Katie might learn a lesson through this, its not really a problem compared to Rob because his parents don't know where he is or what happened to him so her mom should up and do it herself.
@ janat but rob's safety at this case is all depending on Katie or her mom telling or not telling. They have the most information at this point. So, yea, why do you think that Katie's mom is doing the right thing
@Mario I agree with how you said that robs case is depending on Katie and her mom because someones life is worth more than a lesson which you may forget.
I think she is but also not doing the right thing...my answer is basically about the debate we had today .... If Katie doesn't tell and her mother does Rob's parents might lose trust in Katie because rob's parent want any info and when they asked Katie she said she didn't know anything, so there's one example that she doing the right thing in letting Katie tell also it is a good thing because Katie needs to learn how to say all she knows about it when needed not when its late....I also think Rob will for sure come home because he has a totally different life then this he's not use to it because its all different for him. I think that Katie's mother should tell straight up because this is very serious and there is no time for patience and waiting. I dont think Rob will die ....has anyone seen poor people lying on the ground not eating anything for days they do get sick and eventually die but how is Rob going to die in like 2 days
@jan101 I think he might come back but might not. I think he is gonna come back because as Olga said he has no food, clean clothing, or a roof over his head so it would be better to go home to all of that, but he might not come back because he's scared of his dad and if he's gonna get a bad punishment
@Sana: She made a mistake before in cheating but don't you think that she might realize what she has done because she has the guilt that she cheated and if she did get caught what the consequences would be so i think maybe she has come to her sense’s.What do you think?
@mario: if you never learn lessons how will you ever come to your sense’s? How will later on in your life be able to do the right thing chose the right decision?
@shebly: i read what you said to Janat but wouldn't he rather go and be punished by his father and have a roof over his head , food, clean clothes etc..etc..rather then not getting punished but having nothing getting sick eventually and then dying!?
@shelby i don't thinjk the way the authour decribes rob's dad to be really abusive if were rob i would never go back but i won't want my parents worried sick about me.
@Sana: you may forget about this lesson you learned but then later on when a situation comes like this again you will remember that yes this happened to be the last time and i will do what is right..because you learned about what is right is wrong..... and if you dont teach the person that lesson then when every the situation comes it will always be no! i as a mother/father need to go and tell.......... as Mr.Cheney said once someone cheated they will always cheat and continue on and so that will happen in this situation it will always be the parent going and telling rather then the kid
@Sana: i think it takes a while just to think it over if it were you or anyone else in this spot you wouldn't right away know what right and wrong and make your decision it will take a while
@shelby: yea i would be worried to about the stress on the kid but how will they learn...people learn from mistakes Katie made one mistake by taking the answers so who knows she may think twice and do the RIGHT thing
My point of view Katie's mom is doing the wrong thing. First of all she shouldn't be letting Katie think about it she is being too careless about Rob and his parents and if I were to be in Katie's mom posittion I would have just told Robs parents and not tell her .
@princess daisy how do you learn a lesson in this it about what is more important in this case its rob lifes but i could have a situation in the future like this.like for example should eat my ice cream or go listen to my dad in this case listenning to my dad is important and i don't know how the last stuation helped me solve this one.
@PrincessDaisy Yes that is true, but if Katie doesn't tell and her mom gave her time to think about it, Katie's mom is going to have to tell and katie is still depending on people as well .
@stanley: i dont think so because maybe he would call a friend and the parents pick up wouldn't the parents go like crazzy like OMG ROB WHERE ARE YOU and yea.
@PrincessDaisy There is a chance of that happening but don't you think that there is a higher possibility for his friends picking up then their parents ?
@Sana: okay learning a lesson on how one bad thing leads to another bad thing.... they cheated(1 bad thing) they got caught ( another bad thing) then parents got called (3rd bad thing) Rob ran away (4th bad thing) Katie will learn that one mistake can make things bigger she will need to learn how to stand up and speak because she can't rely on others ...she will learn how even thought the problem isnt solved she will feel better because she did the right thing
@stanley: no ..really i think its a 50-50 chance on who might pick up the phone and i think Rob is feeling scared he might be thinking about what he has done or even thinking about food and about how hungry he is and/or what a stupid decision he made
As far as parenting goes I think it's a good idea. If my child went missing I would want to know everything that happened to them. If I didn't there are many possibilities of death and suicide. Which is common among abused teens. At least the information that he ran away would be enough to take me out of the panic zone and into the worry zone. As a parent you cannot sit around and wait for your own child to call you yourself should call, as Mr Cheney put's it the lesson that Katie's mother is trying to teach is not as important nor as urgent as the problem with Robertson. If she knows why wouldn't she tell? Anyone that thinks that Rob is gonna come home can probably say he's gonna come home therefor the lesson is more important than Rob. But I don't think he's coming home so the lesson is less important than Rob. As a parent and as a friend she's failed miserably.
@Sauceboss, Katie doesn't want to tell because shes afraid that what would Rob think and but what if rob didoes come back ,then Katie would consider it all her fault so she should tell and i think the Rob's problem is more importance then the lesson because what if he is too scared to go home?He couldn't even make the call
@Mario So if the society that they live in affects and tells them to act and think in certain ways, what type of society do they live in? One where people only care about themselves?
@Neha So you think that he's gonna come home? But what about his dad? Do you think he'll be happy that his un-manly son returns home? Or that he went out on his own?! Without telling his parents? Is he gonna beat him or abuse him in whatever way? Cause remember what Dan was thinking about on the field the beating Rob got last night would explain his absense at school. What about his mom what is she gonna do?
@PrincessDaisy I'm connecting to my own experience because every time there is a number my family doesn't know I pick it up . Yes there is a 50-50 Chance of either picking up
@the sauce boss: their is a chance of him coming back home. Really i dont think his dad will be happy because his father is abusive( as people said) so why would you hit and child harshly and then would be happy they came back home? it really doesn't make any sense. Well i dont think the mom can do anything really because this whole time Rob gets beat his mother hasn't stopped the father so why would she stop him now?
@TheSauceBoss I was thinkin the same thing Katie's mom is teaching at the wrong time cant it be something a lot less serious, yes it is important to teach your child to be independent but like you said it's not as important nor urguent .
@Luigi If Rob's parents were to find out that she knew yet she didn't call. Has she failed as a friend? Or has she succeeded as a parent for trying to teach Katie a lesson? What would you characterize her as?
@stanley: in my house if its an number none of us know either my dad picks it up or we don't pick it up at all. If i were a parent I would definitively pick up the phone if its unknown because god know who it can be like you know idea..
@Aloo But we have no information on the history of the relationship between Rob and his dad, and therefor no relationship between Rob's father and Mother. But what do you think? Does his mom defend him? Usually spouses with abusive spouses that abuse children espcially when it comes to the abusive father, so there is no conclusion we can draw from the parents of Rob because we have barely any knowledge. Or at least not that I know of.
I'm Late If You Wanna Say But Like I was saying in class shes doing one of the worst possible things to do he could be dieing right now and Katie's Mom Knowing crucial information and not telling doesn't help it doesn't matter if Shes trying to teach her daughter a lesson a kid could lose his life right now and Like Mr.Cheney Said Shes being a Hipocrit shes trying to convince her daughter to tell Rob's Parents But she could just tell them now and she said how if that was her and if someone knew information on why he would do this she would want Rob and His Parents to tell her but she wants people to tell her info if she was in that position but shes not doing that is she?No shes doing the opposite its almost like Respect Give respect to gain respect if Katie's mom tells Rob's Parents if Katie ran away and they knew why they would tell her that second with no hesitation
@Princess Daisy I Sorta Agree With Youre statment but ill rephrase it.God put it in the parents mind to call you because he thought/knows that youre a person that could make a difference if he knew you were useless god wouldnt waste there parents time theyre in agony and hes going to make it worst not reasonable
@the sauce boss I agree When Theres and abusive parent the other parent is the defender of the child but If Hes that scared of his dad theres something wrong if a child is that scared of there parent theat parent is really crewl
I don't think Katie's mom is doing the right thing. Yes, it is important for your child to make the right choices on your own and to teach them a lesson. However, this isn't the right time to teach them a lesson. If I was Katie's mom I would just call Rob's parents and tell them what I know. If I truly wanted to teach my daughter a lesson I'd lead by example, witch is not what Katie's mother is doing.
@mastercheif i kinda agree with but i think his mother kinda defends him because when he was gonna call home he rated his family if his brother pick up that wopuld be good but if his dad picks up it would be worst but if his mother picks up it would be in the middle.so that why i think his mom kinda defends him.
I think that Katies mom is doing the right thing because as Olga said in class today that it would teach her a lesson. I think that this lesson would help her later on in her life because what if something like this happens again to her and her family or friends and then at least she"ll know what to do. BUT!!!! There's always a but lol but anyways I also think that her mom should just tell Robs parents because what if it's too late by the time Katie takes her time to deceide whether she should tell or not,what if something happens to Rob? Then Katie would regret not telling his parents because she was scared she'd be called a snitch or Rob would turn his back on Katie and maybe Sarah too for telling his parents because if he wanted to tell he would have just come straight home and spilled the terrible news that would come along with some consequences.
@aqib good point I think yes all parents would act differently to this emergancy because well everyone's different. Some would freak out and panic like Rob's parents and some would take it seriously and probably would just depend on one person like their son or daughter to chose the right decision.
@ Janat I agree seriously, how abusive can you get, your own sun is running away from home tell me that isn't abnormal but I agree with you completely Yes he would be to scares to go home.
@Nicole you have a strong point there. Yes it is important to teach your child a lesson I agree but really in this type of situation? Someone who is your really close friend is out there somewhere and your just gonna be patient and just wait and watch what happens while your friend is dying on hunger????????????????
@Sana I would know that even if I tell for my son or daughter I would have to deal with them later because they will obviously get angry at me for interfering in their way but as a parent that would be the first thing that comes to mind and so I would tell and then deal with my child later and explain to him/her. Don't tyou think giving someone knowledge,power and information is better than knwoing something and not telling someone and regreting it later on right? Also won't you care more about what the lost child will do then having to talk/deal with your child about telling their parents? I would!
Sana I didn't get what you meant and I don't really think what Katies mom is doing is the right thing because I know I would never know something and not tell the person to give them Knowledge, Power and Information as Mr.Cheney said in class today. I don't think that if Katie's mum is tryna teach Katie a lesson then why in a situation like this???????? This is serious and your out to teach meaningful life lessons to your chile? Yes it's important and you care about your child's future but really? right now? In a situation where someone is this close to dying? But obviously they don't know where he went and so they don't know he's this close to death and that he's dying of hunger!
@Sana yes he will because as Rob I think mentioned in his part was that he was thinking about going home and explaing but then he's like my dad would tell be that I wasn't a man and stuff. Also he would get in extra trouble for running away but I'm pretty sure they would get over it soon because they would be happy that he's back with them now and that he won't ever repeat that mistake.
@Sana and Tabish even I think that Rob's mom is abusive because if she was why would he want to call home and see if his mom is okay and isn't freaking out because apparently she's the one who more creeped out right now so I don't think she's abusive.
@stanley prnicess daisy is neha/aloo and ~Tabish~ Yea your right we have no imformation about Rob's dad and we know nothing about him all we know about him is what Rob said "he will kill me" that kinda shows maybe he is abusive and WILL actually do something to Rob when he comes home and Rob running away from home/school proves the fact that his dad might be abusive.
Princess Peach!!!!!I Dont Think His Moms Abusive Either He tried To Call His Mom But I think he wanted his bro to answer the most because hes young and he loves his brother from what i know and he doesnt want his brother to worry
@Thamil Excactly If she knows some information then she should go tell and like she said in the book that if Rob's parents could get any information they would appreciate it and she's explaining all this to Katie when she's wasting her precious time and by now if his parents knew about it they would at least contact the school and try to figure out where he went and maybe they could just go to a spot maybe where he loves to hang around or something. Any information they could find would be appreciated and ya.
@Princess Peach, I agree. I don't think his mother is abusive. At this point, I don't really think his dad is either. Yes, its clear that Rob does fear him but fear doesn't not only stem from violence. His dad is very strict, maybe that alone is Rob's reason. He could be always trying to live under the stress of his dad, and live up to his expectations. He could also fear of Dissapointing him. Maybe that's why he cheated.
@Thamil good point he does love his brother and he doesnt want his dad hurting his brother because Rob disappered, but if his dad pick up then he's dead and if his brother or mom picks up at least he can just explain to them what he's going through and maybe he can tell them to try and calm his dad down.
@Nicole good point maybe he's just a little tensed because his dad is strict and would be very dissapointed in him for cheating because all these years Rob's been livin up to his dad's expectations and now???????? He just cheats and it's all over?!
@nicole I think his dad could maybe be abusive but could also just be strict and like i said in my comment before this one that Rob's been livin up to his dad's expectations and now????????
But If You Think About It On The Other Hand Rob Can Just be afraid of his dad because of his deployment in the Gulf i think and him being angry being back home can be mistaken to be Anger at his kids but I dont think that he would "Kill" Rob its unreasonable but its possible hes violent cause by excessive drinking and Rob Running away could possibly Prevent him from drinking and Hence preventing the anger and possibly if Katie Told Robs Dad about Robs Fear of getting Beat Robs Dad can maybe except that and like in a movie give Rob a glorious and loving hug if he returns
@MasterChief Even if Rob thinks that his dad will try to kill him, I know that a father's love will take over and make him think that being abusive is never the answer. Rob might think that he will die, but I know that if he does come home his mom might protect him because a Mother's love is much greater than a father's love and if your mom see's you hurt, she is heart broken.
@Thamil lol but don't you think that's a little unrealistic yes maybe it could happen but if you step out of you island and think...... do you really think that in real life in the end when your son come home from running away your dad will come and hug you I'm pretty sure his mom would do that but maybe first his dad will give him a lecture and all and then finally give up and just sink.
@Nicole If you think about it his dad could be abusive cause over drinking and the whole Adrenaline loss of not being in the army anymore and when youre in the army and stationed far from home the stress gets too you and you can possibly start drinking or smoking and that probably came home and he in the drunk state becomes abusive
@Princess Peach it Was meant to be a joke but yea his mom would do that and i see it as his dad being next to him patting his head or something and he wont say anything but hell change each day things like that change you because you're losing people because there scared of you and its someone you love that's hard it really changes people
@Thamil, I get where your coming from. I dont think lack of an Adreniline rush would lead you into violent action, maybe it would just make you bored. I also think that smoking would do the opposite, calm you down. Drinking is a possiblity, sometimes it makes you violent. But whos to say his dad is an alchohalicÉ
I agree with all the ideas that it's not a good idea to teach your kids about a lesson they have to learn when your in a life and death situation. Rob might not want to come home becuse he's to scared to face his parents about cheating he might have a idea what they might do but everyone has different view on the same situation they might react differet because they had done it before or they will act the same who knows. Rob might go home because he'll be to hungry and tired and his parents are going to be happy to not punish him till next time if there is. Katies mom should know that if her own daughter doesn't know what to do she should do the right thing and do it for her she can teach her the lesson later and tell her what she did wrong so she will know what to do next time if there is.
@Bubbles But still you must remember that if the kid does grow being and relying only on you or your partner, then when you die , what will the kid do?
@ Bubbles i agree if Katie's mom takes action, then that will save Rob and that will also help teach Katie that waiting and thinking about a decision too long is also bad. This is the best way to go.
i think rob will go home. mainly because his little brother might be sad because he left. i dont think rob would forget about his brother.also, it doesent seem he could last longer.he could barely walk, hes hungry and hes cold.if i was rob i would turn around. getting a punishment is better than dying of hunger.
@sonali whats the chances of a situation happening like this to you? and if you were robs mom, and somehow find out that katies mom was just teaching her a lesson,how would you feel?
@sonali to add: what do you think is more important in that situation, someones life, or a lesson.and how would rob get home?and how would rob ever get home by walking?he could barely get to where he is, and hes hungry,so i dont think he would be able to get back on his own
@sauceboss i think that she would have good parenting, if the situation was different. i think teaching her a lesson was a bad choice,i think she could have explained after what do to in a situation like this
I think that she is doing the right thing and no at the same time, because just as I said in class, I think that Katie should learn how to handle these things by herself. In life there will be problems and if she doesn't know how to handle them then she will never learn and there will be even bigger problems.
@prabhjot in my earlier comments I said that I didn't think Katies mom was right because someones life is In danger because he could die of hunger and your there tryna teach your son/daughter some life lessons which might be valuable but really in a time like this? What would you think is more important someone's life or your daughter to learn the message? And you said exactly my point in your comment you said that if Robs mom found out that KAties mom was teaching her a lesson Nd wanted KAtie to choose the right decision then how would she feel exactly she would think that she trusted them for nothing and she souls start to feel like she's just been used. Like they know some information but their keeping it inside and as Mr.Cheney said that she's just gonna get more panicked like that.
@olga good point she will get involved in even more problems and then she would struggle but do you really think this is the right time to discuss whether she should tell or not and fo you think this the right time to teach someone a lesson I mean someone could be dying out there right now.
@sonali Actually you said Katie's mom is doing the right thing. And right now rob might die. He also can't go home because he said it took 11 hours for him to get there,so he wont be getting back and If he died it would be her fault
@ luigi I think that if Katie tells Rob's dad that Rob ran away; then if Rob comes home, all they would care about is his safety and his health, not about him cheating so his dad will be less abusive.
I don't think Katie's mom is doing the right thing is because it now depends if Rob safe or not. If Kaite's mom told right away, then the parents would have an idea of why Rob would do this. If you were a parent and you just found out that your child friend ran away and you know the reason why, you would not just let your child man up and tell why he/she ran away. But instead, you would tell it first. As for Rob's parents, they would be thankful if they found any reason or clue why he ran away. No child would run of like that.
no i do not think that Katie's mom is doing the right thing because as what we talked about today right there is a boy's life at stake and if he dies it will be all Katie and her mom's fault also if they do tell there parents will be in relief to know that he was not kidnapped or anything else like this and they will also then find out that rob ran away or is just hiding somewhere i also think that he won't risk his life just for a mid-term i think that he will come back home.
ReplyDeleteno, i dont think that her mom did the right thing.
ReplyDeletelike mr cheney said, if his daughter knew something, and didnt say it, he would.
i think thats what katies mom shouldve done.
she was like mr cheney said, a hypocrite.
she told katie to do the right thing, but the mom isnt doing the right thing.
@malav
ReplyDeleteyes i agree with you but when you call the parents would you tell them that you think he is dead.
i also think that you can teach this lesson later on but you can not tel them later on it might be to late .
ReplyDelete@ aqib
ReplyDeletei meant the part about rob cheating, and that could be the reason he didnt come home.
I dont think that it was the best thing to do for this emergency, katie's mom picked the wrong time to try to teach/parent her child. she should have just told rob's parents and give the phone to katie the minute she knew. It would have saved rob's life.
ReplyDeleteKatie's mom could have been just trying to please her daughter, i think she knew that if she took the phone and called rob's parents right away, katie would get upset. But then again, in this case its an emergency, and katie's mom should have told katie how much of an emergency it is and that she needs to make a decision. Or, something that is in my opinion, more realistic; to inform katie that it is very important to give the pieces of information that will probably save rob's life.
@malav
ReplyDeletey i know but would you after that tell them that you think he is dead.
In this book, i would have wanted katie's mom to react normally in an emergency, it didnt seem realistic for a mother not to freak out on her daughter for not telling her the truth to save one of her closest friend.
ReplyDelete@ Donna
ReplyDeleteyes that is true this small fact can save his life do you think that Katie's mom would right now please her because i do not think that she is doing that i think that she is teaching her the lesson.
@ Donna
ReplyDeleteit is her ex friend and also who knows maybe Katie's mom is up to something
no i dont think she did the right thing.a lesson is not worthy when someone might be bleeding to death, beat up, or even dead.i think telling them that he cheated and was scared is really valueable information.they can then knw that their child is not injured or anything.i know that if i was robs mom, i wouldwant to know anything i could get my hands on. and at that point any information is better than none.i think katies moms parenting wasnt good that time.i think if she told them they would know where to start looking. i think mr cheney was right. a good way to do it is let your child do it, if not, than do it yourself
ReplyDelete@Donna
ReplyDeletedo you think that all parents would act differently about this emergency.
@luigi
ReplyDeleteso what do you think katie would do if her mom called and talked about the cheating.
no, I think Katie's mom is doing the bad thing. If something happens to Rob, it would be all their fault. If Katie's mom knows almost exactly the same information Katie knows, then Katie's mom should tell them. One key thing I learned today was that any information related to the topic is very crucial, it is the key to saving someone's life or etc. Plus, if something DOES happen to Rob then they would feel a huge guilt for the rest of their live. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that Rob's safety is mostly depending on Katie's and her mom's decision. Also, if Katie's mom is trying to teach Katie to take decisions for her own then this would not be the best time.
ReplyDeleteOn the hand, Sarah is being really calm which is kind of bad. She just like cut the phone on an emergency crisis like this.
At the end I agree with Mr.Cheney that Sarah and Katie come from to different places like their morals and values are different cause of the environment or society they live in. Sarah is calm and she doesn't care a bit but Katie is worried and crying with her mom.

ReplyDeleteif they were crying so much why do they not just call them and tell them what they know.
@ wario
ReplyDeletein the book it said that Katie's mom will let Katie make the decision.
@abeeshan
ReplyDeletewhat if rob does die how mad do you think rob's parents would be if katie decides to tell them about rob cheating.
After hearing the conversation today, I think that Katie's mom is doing the wrong thing and should just tell Rob's parents rather than teach Katie a lesson by making her tell them. I think this will allow Rob's parents to be less stress full because they have more information and a better understanding to why their son ran away rather than having no information at all.I feel that finding Rob is way more important than teaching your daughter a lesson especially at a time like that.
ReplyDelete@ wario
ReplyDeleteI don't think she will tell them if rob dies cause she might feel like a criminal and have so much guilt to not tell them cause maybe Katie would think that if she told them after they would call the police and second of all why woild she tell Rob cheated after his death no point of that right!?
@abeeshan
ReplyDeleteya ok but still if katie cried so much the right thing to do is to tell his parents.
@mario
ReplyDeleteya that is true also if she was wrong about death she would feel more guilt.
@wario I think Katie would be upset and embarrassed, if her mom called and told Rob's parents about them cheating. She may feel like she's being a snich
ReplyDelete@shelby
ReplyDeleteyes i agree with that also this lesson could be taught any other time.
@shelby
ReplyDeletewhy would she be called a snitch for doing the right thing because i think that rob will not call her a snitch if she is trying to save his life.
@ shelby I agree, also telling them that Rob cheated will bring up the question "okay so now where is Rob"
ReplyDelete@ aqib
ReplyDeletei am pretty sure that katie doesnt think that rob is dead,
and if i were katie, i wouldnt believe that he was dead from the beginning,
@malav
ReplyDeletebut after all that crying would you stop thinking at that spot about rob being dead no you always have your inner voice tell you "is rob actually dead".
@mario so what do you think is going to happen? Do you think Katie's going to tell, her mom or do you think they are going to keep silent
ReplyDelete@wario maybe she is going to feel like a snitch because she was the first to tell while everyone was quiet
ReplyDeleteKatie does not have a lot of information or proof that Rob is dead she only has that strong feeling, as readers we know that Rob is alive and Katie is wrong.
ReplyDelete@malav I agree if I were Katie I wouldn't think he would be dead so quick. I think Katie jumped to conclusions to quickly.
ReplyDelete@shelby
ReplyDeleteso do you think that she will feel more upset for being called a snitch or for not giving information and rob dying.
@ shelby
ReplyDeleteI think either Katie will think fast and make the right decision or Katie's mom will do it with out Katie knowing but I think Katie will find out though.
@shelby i dont think she would feel like a snitch.if rob coomes home safely, she would know she did the right thing
ReplyDelete@ aqib
ReplyDeletemaybe,
my first instinct may refer to that,
but i wouldnt really trust that idea.
what about you?
@shelby
ReplyDeletewell i do not because this can save rob's life
@aqib
ReplyDeletei agree.
i dont think she would feel like a snitch.
@malav
ReplyDeletei think that i would always think about rob and asking if he is dead to myself.
NO I don't think Katie's mom is doing the right thing because
ReplyDeleteIf Katie was able to make the right decision she would have chosen the not to cheat and while Katie make her decision in peace rob is starving and cold and may even die.
@mario
ReplyDeletewhen katie said i will think about katie's mom did not sound mad so maybe she will not call rob's parents.
I agree with wario, life is more important than learning a lesson. If you don't have life than you will never learn a lesson but if you don't learn a lesson then you can learn it some next day because you have life!!!!!
ReplyDelete@ mario who knows?
ReplyDelete@wario
ReplyDelete@luigi
I do agree she would be doing a good thing and saving Rob.
@sana
ReplyDeleteyes but what do you think katie is making a decision over what do you think is stopping katie from telling.
@shelby
ReplyDeletethen what do you think it is snitching that is stopping katie.
@wario I agree that when katiemom left the room she was not mad and also if she wanted to call robs parent she would have told them when Katie told her.
ReplyDelete@mario I think lessons and experinces are important in your life, because that's what shapes you into the person that you are. But in this case I feel that teaching a lesson is the least of our worries
ReplyDelete@wario I changed my mind that Katie is being a snitch because I agree with what your saying so at this point I'm not sure what's stopping Katie from telling Rob's parents
ReplyDelete@shelby
ReplyDeleteso only in this case teaching a lesson is the least of the worries
@wario I think what stopping Katie from telling is that first of all Sarah says no and her mom says that she should tell.second of all rob might think she a snitch.
ReplyDeleteI think MAYBE JUST MAYBE it can be Sarah. Like maybe she wants to listen to her and she might be scared if she doesn't listen to Sarah but it can also be Rob himself coming home safe and hating Katie for being a snich. Maybe Rob is planning to come home so maybe Katie is just waiting for more time to see if he is still running away, then she might act serious
ReplyDeleteI think Katie's mom isnt doing the right thing because in the situation like that she has to act like responsible parent and encourage Katie to tell and if she doesn't then do it herself because I think it would put Rob's parents on a little more relic because they have no idea what happened to him and might be thinking of random ideas. and are very worried.
ReplyDelete@JAN101
Deleteyes it is non of her business but you must conciser if something does happen to him then she will or might feel guilty about not saying anything.
@wario I agree with you that teaching a lesson is the least worries.
ReplyDelete@Wario,I agree Even through Katie might learn a lesson through this, its not really a problem compared to Rob because his parents don't know where he is or what happened to him so her mom should up and do it herself.
ReplyDelete@Jan at she trying to encourage her by telling her how she would feel if Katie was gone missing.
ReplyDelete@ janat
ReplyDeletebut rob's safety at this case is all depending on Katie or her mom telling or not telling. They have the most information at this point. So, yea, why do you think that Katie's mom is doing the right thing
@Mario I agree with how you said that robs case is depending on Katie and her mom because someones life is worth more than a lesson which you may forget.
ReplyDelete@wario yes, because Rob is missing which is more important
ReplyDelete@Sana , Yes but Katie still has doubts of what to do and since Katie wouldnt tell Robs parents , then her mom could
ReplyDelete@Mario,I actually am saying the opposite, I disagree with what Katie mom is doing.
@Shelby,I agree but do you think he would go back? but i dont think he knows where he his and he wont make a call because hes scared of him dad
ReplyDeleteI think she is but also not doing the right thing...my answer is basically about the debate we had today .... If Katie doesn't tell and her mother does Rob's parents might lose trust in Katie because rob's parent want any info and when they asked Katie she said she didn't know anything, so there's one example that she doing the right thing in letting Katie tell also it is a good thing because Katie needs to learn how to say all she knows about it when needed not when its late....I also think Rob will for sure come home because he has a totally different life then this he's not use to it because its all different for him. I think that Katie's mother should tell straight up because this is very serious and there is no time for patience and waiting. I dont think Rob will die ....has anyone seen poor people lying on the ground not eating anything for days they do get sick and eventually die but how is Rob going to die in like 2 days
ReplyDelete@jan true
ReplyDelete@jan101 I think he might come back but might not. I think he is gonna come back because as Olga said he has no food, clean clothing, or a roof over his head so it would be better to go home to all of that, but he might not come back because he's scared of his dad and if he's gonna get a bad punishment
ReplyDelete@Sana: She made a mistake before in cheating but don't you think that she might realize what she has done because she has the guilt that she cheated and if she did get caught what the consequences would be so i think maybe she has come to her sense’s.What do you think?
ReplyDelete@mario: if you never learn lessons how will you ever come to your sense’s? How will later on in your life be able to do the right thing chose the right decision?
ReplyDelete@princess daisy
ReplyDeletewhat do u think is important a lesson which u soon will forget or somelife.
@shebly: i read what you said to Janat but wouldn't he rather go and be punished by his father and have a roof over his head , food, clean clothes etc..etc..rather then not getting punished but having nothing getting sick eventually and then dying!?
ReplyDelete@shelby i don't thinjk the way the authour decribes rob's dad to be really abusive if were rob i would never go back but i won't want my parents worried sick about me.
ReplyDelete@princess daisy if she did realize don't you think her decision would be made by now
ReplyDelete@princess daisy u do learn lessons but some u forget
ReplyDelete@Sana: you may forget about this lesson you learned but then later on when a situation comes like this again you will remember that yes this happened to be the last time and i will do what is right..because you learned about what is right is wrong..... and if you dont teach the person that lesson then when every the situation comes it will always be no! i as a mother/father need to go and tell.......... as Mr.Cheney said once someone cheated they will always cheat and continue on and so that will happen in this situation it will always be the parent going and telling rather then the kid
ReplyDelete@sana same I would be worried, that they are worried about me and I'm putting stress on them
ReplyDelete@Sana: i think it takes a while just to think it over if it were you or anyone else in this spot you wouldn't right away know what right and wrong and make your decision it will take a while
ReplyDelete@shelby: yea i would be worried to about the stress on the kid but how will they learn...people learn from mistakes Katie made one mistake by taking the answers so who knows she may think twice and do the RIGHT thing
ReplyDeleteMy point of view Katie's mom is doing the wrong thing. First of all she shouldn't be letting Katie think about it she is being too careless about Rob and his parents and if I were to be in Katie's mom posittion I would have just told Robs parents and not tell her .
ReplyDelete@Sana: you said you wouldn't go back home but before taking this step to runaway wouldn't you think twice?
ReplyDelete@princess daisy
ReplyDeletehow do you learn a lesson in this it about what is more important in this case its rob lifes but i could have a situation in the future like this.like for example should eat my ice cream or go listen to my dad in this case listenning to my dad is important and i don't know how the last stuation helped me solve this one.
@stanley: how will anyone learn if they need someone else to speak up for them ..then the rest of their life they will depend on others
ReplyDeleteIf Rob doesn't come home even after weeks, do you think he will contact any of his friends or just keep going?
ReplyDeletewell i think there must be a better reson why katies mom isn't telling robs parents
ReplyDelete@Sana: you learn a lesson about how one thing can lead to many others and ends up being a disaster
ReplyDelete@stanly i think rob might try to contact his friends for help but not his parents.
ReplyDelete@PrincessDaisy Yes that is true, but if Katie doesn't tell and her mom gave her time to think about it, Katie's mom is going to have to tell and katie is still depending on people as well .
ReplyDelete@Sana Who do you think he will contact ?
ReplyDelete@princess daisy explain to me how you will learn a lesson from this.
ReplyDelete@Daisy I said before learning a lesson is the least of our worries, finding Rob is our main priority
ReplyDelete@stanley: i dont think so because maybe he would call a friend and the parents pick up wouldn't the parents go like crazzy like OMG ROB WHERE ARE YOU and yea.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think Rob is thinking right now ?
ReplyDelete@stanly i think he will try to contact the person who got him in to this mess which in this case is sarah because katies to close to his family.
ReplyDelete@PrincessDaisy There is a chance of that happening but don't you think that there is a higher possibility for his friends picking up then their parents ?
ReplyDeletedid rob try to contact his mother but noone gave him change or he didn't have the guts to
ReplyDelete@Sana Yeah, I thought that as well but don't you think he is going to contact the "guys"
ReplyDelete@stanley: Katie isnt really depending much on her mother now to tell she will end up depending when her mother goes ahead and tells
ReplyDelete@Sana: okay learning a lesson on how one bad thing leads to another bad thing.... they cheated(1 bad thing) they got caught ( another bad thing) then parents got called (3rd bad thing) Rob ran away (4th bad thing) Katie will learn that one mistake can make things bigger she will need to learn how to stand up and speak because she can't rely on others ...she will learn how even thought the problem isnt solved she will feel better because she did the right thing
ReplyDelete@Sana he thought his dad was going to pick up and freak out and start to yell at him
ReplyDelete@princess daisy i agree with you because robs parents probably called all of his friends and there parent know that he is missing
ReplyDelete@stanly thanks because i was confused
ReplyDelete@stanley: no ..really i think its a 50-50 chance on who might pick up the phone and i think Rob is feeling scared he might be thinking about what he has done or even thinking about food and about how hungry he is and/or what a stupid decision he made
ReplyDelete@Stanley:just the way Rob got scared that maybe his dad might pick up the phone the same way if he calls a friend their parents might pick up
ReplyDeleteAs far as parenting goes I think it's a good idea. If my child went missing I would want to know everything that happened to them. If I didn't there are many possibilities of death and suicide. Which is common among abused teens. At least the information that he ran away would be enough to take me out of the panic zone and into the worry zone. As a parent you cannot sit around and wait for your own child to call you yourself should call, as Mr Cheney put's it the lesson that Katie's mother is trying to teach is not as important nor as urgent as the problem with Robertson. If she knows why wouldn't she tell? Anyone that thinks that Rob is gonna come home can probably say he's gonna come home therefor the lesson is more important than Rob. But I don't think he's coming home so the lesson is less important than Rob. As a parent and as a friend she's failed miserably.
ReplyDelete@Princess Daisy, I agree but that only IF Katie decided to tell
ReplyDelete@Sauceboss, Katie doesn't want to tell because shes afraid that what would Rob think and but what if rob didoes come back ,then Katie would consider it all her fault so she should tell and i think the Rob's problem is more importance then the lesson because what if he is too scared to go home?He couldn't even make the call
ReplyDelete@Mario
ReplyDeleteSo if the society that they live in affects and tells them to act and think in certain ways, what type of society do they live in? One where people only care about themselves?
@Neha
So you think that he's gonna come home? But what about his dad? Do you think he'll be happy that his un-manly son returns home? Or that he went out on his own?! Without telling his parents? Is he gonna beat him or abuse him in whatever way? Cause remember what Dan was thinking about on the field the beating Rob got last night would explain his absense at school. What about his mom what is she gonna do?
@PrincessDaisy I'm connecting to my own experience because every time there is a number my family doesn't know I pick it up . Yes there is a 50-50 Chance of either picking up
ReplyDelete@the sauce boss: their is a chance of him coming back home. Really i dont think his dad will be happy because his father is abusive( as people said) so why would you hit and child harshly and then would be happy they came back home? it really doesn't make any sense. Well i dont think the mom can do anything really because this whole time Rob gets beat his mother hasn't stopped the father so why would she stop him now?
ReplyDelete@TheSauceBoss I was thinkin the same thing Katie's mom is teaching at the wrong time cant it be something a lot less serious, yes it is important to teach your child to be independent but like you said it's not as important nor urguent .
ReplyDelete@Luigi
ReplyDeleteIf Rob's parents were to find out that she knew yet she didn't call. Has she failed as a friend? Or has she succeeded as a parent for trying to teach Katie a lesson? What would you characterize her as?
@stanley: in my house if its an number none of us know either my dad picks it up or we don't pick it up at all. If i were a parent I would definitively pick up the phone if its unknown because god know who it can be like you know idea..
ReplyDelete@PrincessDaisy Who is this ?
ReplyDelete@Aloo
ReplyDeleteBut we have no information on the history of the relationship between Rob and his dad, and therefor no relationship between Rob's father and Mother. But what do you think? Does his mom defend him? Usually spouses with abusive spouses that abuse children espcially when it comes to the abusive father, so there is no conclusion we can draw from the parents of Rob because we have barely any knowledge. Or at least not that I know of.
I'm Late If You Wanna Say But Like I was saying in class shes doing one of the worst possible things to do he could be dieing right now and Katie's Mom Knowing crucial information and not telling doesn't help it doesn't matter if Shes trying to teach her daughter a lesson a kid could lose his life right now and Like Mr.Cheney Said Shes being a Hipocrit shes trying to convince her daughter to tell Rob's Parents But she could just tell them now and she said how if that was her and if someone knew information on why he would do this she would want Rob and His Parents to tell her but she wants people to tell her info if she was in that position but shes not doing that is she?No shes doing the opposite its almost like Respect Give respect to gain respect if Katie's mom tells Rob's Parents if Katie ran away and they knew why they would tell her that second with no hesitation
ReplyDelete@Princess Daisy I Sorta Agree With Youre statment but ill rephrase it.God put it in the parents mind to call you because he thought/knows that youre a person that could make a difference if he knew you were useless god wouldnt waste there parents time theyre in agony and hes going to make it worst not reasonable
ReplyDelete@masterchief i agree with what you said would rather have someone lose there life or your daughter learn a lesson.
ReplyDelete@Sana Good You Understand This Ladys Killing a kid for her daughter to learn a lesson not a reasonable trade
ReplyDelete@the sauce boss i think rob mom isn't that abusive or why would he wanna call home and find alright if his mom picks up
ReplyDeletewhy would katie's mom pick the worst situation for her daughter to learn her lesson so i don't agree olga
ReplyDelete@the sauce boss I agree When Theres and abusive parent the other parent is the defender of the child but If Hes that scared of his dad theres something wrong if a child is that scared of there parent theat parent is really crewl
ReplyDeleteI don't think Katie's mom is doing the right thing. Yes, it is important for your child to make the right choices on your own and to teach them a lesson. However, this isn't the right time to teach them a lesson. If I was Katie's mom I would just call Rob's parents and tell them what I know. If I truly wanted to teach my daughter a lesson I'd lead by example, witch is not what Katie's mother is doing.
ReplyDelete@mastercheif i kinda agree with but i think his mother kinda defends him because when he was gonna call home he rated his family if his brother pick up that wopuld be good but if his dad picks up it would be worst but if his mother picks up it would be in the middle.so that why i think his mom kinda defends him.
ReplyDelete@buttercup exactly i agree with u this is not the type of situation u should be teaching your daughter a lesson.
ReplyDelete@Sana, what do you think you, and your mother would do in this situation?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@buttercup i would call because i been in this type of situation before and i did whatever i can do to help.
ReplyDeleteI think that Katies mom is doing the right thing because as Olga said in class today that it would teach her a lesson. I think that this lesson would help her later on in her life because what if something like this happens again to her and her family or friends and then at least she"ll know what to do. BUT!!!! There's always a but lol but anyways I also think that her mom should just tell Robs parents because what if it's too late by the time Katie takes her time to deceide whether she should tell or not,what if something happens to Rob? Then Katie would regret not telling his parents because she was scared she'd be called a snitch or Rob would turn his back on Katie and maybe Sarah too for telling his parents because if he wanted to tell he would have just come straight home and spilled the terrible news that would come along with some consequences.
ReplyDelete@aqib good point I think yes all parents would act differently to this emergancy because well everyone's different. Some would freak out and panic like Rob's parents and some would take it seriously and probably would just depend on one person like their son or daughter to chose the right decision.
ReplyDelete@princess peach would rather have someone die or teach your daughter a lesson.
ReplyDelete@ Janat
ReplyDeleteI agree seriously, how abusive can you get, your own sun is running away from home tell me that isn't abnormal but I agree with you completely Yes he would be to scares to go home.
@Nicole you have a strong point there. Yes it is important to teach your child a lesson I agree but really in this type of situation? Someone who is your really close friend is out there somewhere and your just gonna be patient and just wait and watch what happens while your friend is dying on hunger????????????????
ReplyDelete@princess peach if u think that Katies mom is doing the right thing don't you think that she chose to teach katie a lesson in a situation like this.
ReplyDelete@Sana I would know that even if I tell for my son or daughter I would have to deal with them later because they will obviously get angry at me for interfering in their way but as a parent that would be the first thing that comes to mind and so I would tell and then deal with my child later and explain to him/her. Don't tyou think giving someone knowledge,power and information is better than knwoing something and not telling someone and regreting it later on right? Also won't you care more about what the lost child will do then having to talk/deal with your child about telling their parents? I would!
ReplyDelete@tabish and janat now if he goes home he going to face more trouble than if he was going to face before.
ReplyDeleteSana I didn't get what you meant and I don't really think what Katies mom is doing is the right thing because I know I would never know something and not tell the person to give them Knowledge, Power and Information as Mr.Cheney said in class today. I don't think that if Katie's mum is tryna teach Katie a lesson then why in a situation like this???????? This is serious and your out to teach meaningful life lessons to your chile? Yes it's important and you care about your child's future but really? right now? In a situation where someone is this close to dying? But obviously they don't know where he went and so they don't know he's this close to death and that he's dying of hunger!
ReplyDelete@Sana yup exactly my point
ReplyDeleteGood.night guys last post of the day bauce of the sauce out.
@Sana yes he will because as Rob I think mentioned in his part was that he was thinking about going home and explaing but then he's like my dad would tell be that I wasn't a man and stuff. Also he would get in extra trouble for running away but I'm pretty sure they would get over it soon because they would be happy that he's back with them now and that he won't ever repeat that mistake.
ReplyDelete@Tabish later
ReplyDelete@Sana and Tabish even I think that Rob's mom is abusive because if she was why would he want to call home and see if his mom is okay and isn't freaking out because apparently she's the one who more creeped out right now so I don't think she's abusive.
ReplyDelete@stanley prnicess daisy is neha/aloo and ~Tabish~ Yea your right we have no imformation about Rob's dad and we know nothing about him all we know about him is what Rob said "he will kill me" that kinda shows maybe he is abusive and WILL actually do something to Rob when he comes home and Rob running away from home/school proves the fact that his dad might be abusive.
ReplyDeletePrincess Peach!!!!!I Dont Think His Moms Abusive Either He tried To Call His Mom But I think he wanted his bro to answer the most because hes young and he loves his brother from what i know and he doesnt want his brother to worry
ReplyDelete@Thamil Excactly If she knows some information then she should go tell and like she said in the book that if Rob's parents could get any information they would appreciate it and she's explaining all this to Katie when she's wasting her precious time and by now if his parents knew about it they would at least contact the school and try to figure out where he went and maybe they could just go to a spot maybe where he loves to hang around or something. Any information they could find would be appreciated and ya.
ReplyDelete@Princess Peach, I agree. I don't think his mother is abusive. At this point, I don't really think his dad is either. Yes, its clear that Rob does fear him but fear doesn't not only stem from violence. His dad is very strict, maybe that alone is Rob's reason. He could be always trying to live under the stress of his dad, and live up to his expectations. He could also fear of Dissapointing him. Maybe that's why he cheated.
ReplyDelete@Stanley: @princess daisy is me NEHA!
ReplyDelete@Thamil good point he does love his brother and he doesnt want his dad hurting his brother because Rob disappered, but if his dad pick up then he's dead and if his brother or mom picks up at least he can just explain to them what he's going through and maybe he can tell them to try and calm his dad down.
ReplyDelete@Thamil and Peach You both think Rob's mother isn't abusive. What do you think about his dad?
ReplyDelete@Nicole good point maybe he's just a little tensed because his dad is strict and would be very dissapointed in him for cheating because all these years Rob's been livin up to his dad's expectations and now???????? He just cheats and it's all over?!
ReplyDelete@nicole I think his dad could maybe be abusive but could also just be strict and like i said in my comment before this one that Rob's been livin up to his dad's expectations and now????????
ReplyDelete@princess peach i thought you princess daisy
ReplyDeleteBut If You Think About It On The Other Hand Rob Can Just be afraid of his dad because of his deployment in the Gulf i think and him being angry being back home can be mistaken to be Anger at his kids but I dont think that he would "Kill" Rob its unreasonable but its possible hes violent cause by excessive drinking and Rob Running away could possibly Prevent him from drinking and Hence preventing the anger and possibly if Katie Told Robs Dad about Robs Fear of getting Beat Robs Dad can maybe except that and like in a movie give Rob a glorious and loving hug if he returns
ReplyDelete@MasterChief
DeleteEven if Rob thinks that his dad will try to kill him, I know that a father's love will take over and make him think that being abusive is never the answer. Rob might think that he will die, but I know that if he does come home his mom might protect him because a Mother's love is much greater than a father's love and if your mom see's you hurt, she is heart broken.
@Sana lol princess daisy is neha/aloo and im sonali
ReplyDelete@Thamil lol but don't you think that's a little unrealistic yes maybe it could happen but if you step out of you island and think...... do you really think that in real life in the end when your son come home from running away your dad will come and hug you I'm pretty sure his mom would do that but maybe first his dad will give him a lecture and all and then finally give up and just sink.
ReplyDelete@Nicole If you think about it his dad could be abusive cause over drinking and the whole Adrenaline loss of not being in the army anymore and when youre in the army and stationed far from home the stress gets too you and you can possibly start drinking or smoking and that probably came home and he in the drunk state becomes abusive
ReplyDelete@Princess Peach it Was meant to be a joke but yea his mom would do that and i see it as his dad being next to him patting his head or something and he wont say anything but hell change each day things like that change you because you're losing people because there scared of you and its someone you love that's hard it really changes people
ReplyDeleteGood night guys last post of the day Princess peach out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete@Thamil good point it does change people and I know it was a joke i was just playing along DUH! lol LATER PRINCESS PEACHY OUT!
ReplyDelete@Thamil, I get where your coming from. I dont think lack of an Adreniline rush would lead you into violent action, maybe it would just make you bored. I also think that smoking would do the opposite, calm you down. Drinking is a possiblity, sometimes it makes you violent. But whos to say his dad is an alchohalicÉ
ReplyDeleteYes, Being a soldier puts you under a great deal of stress.
ReplyDeleteThamil, great too see you back on the blog!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with all the ideas that it's not a good idea to teach your kids about a lesson they have to learn when your in a life and death situation. Rob might not want to come home becuse he's to scared to face his parents about cheating he might have a idea what they might do but everyone has different view on the same situation they might react differet because they had done it before or they will act the same who knows. Rob might go home because he'll be to hungry and tired and his parents are going to be happy to not punish him till next time if there is. Katies mom should know that if her own daughter doesn't know what to do she should do the right thing and do it for her she can teach her the lesson later and tell her what she did wrong so she will know what to do next time if there is.
ReplyDelete@Bubbles
DeleteBut still you must remember that if the kid does grow being and relying only on you or your partner, then when you die , what will the kid do?
@ Bubbles
ReplyDeletei agree if Katie's mom takes action, then that will save Rob and that will also help teach Katie that waiting and thinking about a decision too long is also bad. This is the best way to go.
i think rob will go home. mainly because his little brother might be sad because he left. i dont think rob would forget about his brother.also, it doesent seem he could last longer.he could barely walk, hes hungry and hes cold.if i was rob i would turn around. getting a punishment is better than dying of hunger.
ReplyDelete@sonali
ReplyDeletewhats the chances of a situation happening like this to you? and if you were robs mom, and somehow find out that katies mom was just teaching her a lesson,how would you feel?

what do you think is more important in that situation, someones life, or a lesson.and how would rob get home?and how would rob ever get home by walking?he could barely get to where he is, and hes hungry,so i dont think he would be able to get back on his own
@thamil
ReplyDeletehe said he wanted his bro to pick up, mom second and dad third
@sauceboss
ReplyDeletei think that she would have good parenting, if the situation was different. i think teaching her a lesson was a bad choice,i think she could have explained after what do to in a situation like this
@mr cheney
ReplyDeletewhats wrong with the time you post comments? i posted at 7 but it showed that i posted at 3:30
I think that she is doing the right thing and no at the same time, because just as I said in class, I think that Katie should learn how to handle these things by herself. In life there will be problems and if she doesn't know how to handle them then she will never learn and there will be even bigger problems.
ReplyDeleteSo your trying to say is that you would risk someones life in order for you to learn a leason?
Delete@prabhjot in my earlier comments I said that I didn't think Katies mom was right because someones life is In danger because he could die of hunger and your there tryna teach your son/daughter some life lessons which might be valuable but really in a time like this? What would you think is more important someone's life or your daughter to learn the message? And you said exactly my point in your comment you said that if Robs mom found out that KAties mom was teaching her a lesson Nd wanted KAtie to choose the right decision then how would she feel exactly she would think that she trusted them for nothing and she souls start to feel like she's just been used. Like they know some information but their keeping it inside and as Mr.Cheney said that she's just gonna get more panicked like that.
ReplyDelete@olga good point she will get involved in even more problems and then she would struggle but do you really think this is the right time to discuss whether she should tell or not and fo you think this the right time to teach someone a lesson I mean someone could be dying out there right now.
ReplyDelete@prabhjot IKR!!!!!!!!!! I mean I just posted my comment on 9:26 and it says 6:25
ReplyDeleteThis has been a solid post!
ReplyDelete@sonali
ReplyDeleteActually you said Katie's mom is doing the right thing. And right now rob might die. He also can't go home because he said it took 11 hours for him to get there,so he wont be getting back and If he died it would be her fault
@olga
ReplyDeleteDo you think he would get home safely?it took him 11 hours to get where he is and he is very hungry
@sonali
ReplyDeleteHow abusive do you think he would be to rob?
@ luigi
ReplyDeleteI think that if Katie tells Rob's dad that Rob ran away; then if Rob comes home, all they would care about is his safety and his health, not about him cheating so his dad will be less abusive.
@ Mr.Cheney I wrote my comment at 8:06 and it says it 3 hours later?
ReplyDeletebut for me my post didn't even show up and I did it a couple of hrs ago.
DeleteI don't think Katie's mom is doing the right thing is because it now depends if Rob safe or not. If Kaite's mom told right away, then the parents would have an idea of why Rob would do this.
ReplyDeleteIf you were a parent and you just found out that your child friend ran away and you know the reason why, you would not just let your child man up and tell why he/she ran away. But instead, you would tell it first.
As for Rob's parents, they would be thankful if they found any reason or clue why he ran away. No child would run of like that.
@ mario
ReplyDeletei agree.
i also think that rob's family will mostly care about his safety, and not him cheating on a test.
The times are off, I'm going to work it out.
ReplyDeletevery off.
ReplyDelete@ anurag
i agree.
if katie or her mom says something, rob's parents can
know the reason for him to run away, and may also know where to look for him.
