The Face On The Milk Carton (group 5)

a) A daymare is an scary and bad dream that you have during the day. In this case the person can&#8217;t think of anything else anymore and the dream has him in its grip. Often these daymares arise because a certain thing keeps the affected person very busy and frightened. Often these daymares are about things that the person want to chase away, but which he or she is so afraid of that they always come back. b) When this daymare happened she was at an ice cream shop and she was eating an ice just like in the daymare. So one could assume that the daymares are related to where Janie is and what she is doing. So maybe she connects memories of her past with certain places or actions subconsciously. c) In the following chapters she also has several daymares, but she gets so absorbed in the whole thing that she is already convinced that her parents are not her real ones. Therefore her thoughts become quite similar to her daymares. For example, once she saw herself in a very messy kitchen full of toys and next to her two babies were crying. And another time she just saw a woman who took care of her and had sweets in a bag. If you take a look at all the daymares combined, Janie always sees herself as a toddler and usually with a woman.

Why do they stop? - Reeve is called by his mother, because his friend Michael is on the phone. What happens next? - They takes their distances, each lying back on crinkly leaves, staring at the sky, than Reeve says that it is probably important. Next both of them stand up and Reeve runs into the house. What is Reeve&#8217;s reaction? -First he wants to help Janie dusting the leaves of herself, but then he looks at his feet instead, mumbling, &#8220;See you,&#8221; and after it he runs into the house. What could be the reason for his behaviour? -Probably he is ashamed, because this was his first real kiss and he is maybe not sure if Janie feels the same, as he does. He may also find the situation uncomfortable because the kiss was interrupted so suddenly. What do we get to know about Janie&#8217;s feelings? -She really enjoyed the kiss and notices, that she is really in love with Reeve, but she is also afraid, that Reeve doesn&#8217;t feel the same as she does.

Dear diary, I really don't know what's going on right now. Somehow my whole life has changed in the last few days, but I&#8217;m changing too, I think I am going crazy. First the whole thing with the kidnapped child. I really don't know what to think about that anymore. There are so many clues that speak for it, from the missing baby pictures to the fact that my mother doesn&#8217;t want to show me my birth certificate. But this whole thing can&#8217;t be true. I mean, my parents love me and they could never be kidnappers. And wouldn't I remember anyway? It even arrived at the point that I called the 800 number where you can leave clues about the missing children. However, I immediately hung up again because I was afraid of the answer. I really have the feeling that I can't think of anything else except of course that Reeve kissed me. Before, I didn't even know how much I am in love with him, but he is so great and funny and the kiss was so wonderful. OMG, I have never experienced something like this before! I really love him. . . But I'm afraid that he doesn&#8217;t feel the same way because his reaction afterwards was so strange. Maybe he does not love me after all?&#160; And I couldn't even talk to anybody about all this because Sahra-Charlotte and Adair haven&#8217;t had time and the others would have reacted strangely anyway, so I couldn't have talked seriously with them. Why does everything have to change? Why couldn't everything just stay the way it was?&#160;Help, I don&#8217;t know what to do anymore!

Dialogue .pages

task 3: 1. Probably the main character notice, that there are many differences between her and her parents, so she gets confused. 2. Maybe the main character wonders if her family is really her family. 3. Maybe the carton makes her aware of things that are strange in her family. 4. The more differences she notice the more curious she gets and the more she wants to know what is going on. PS: two of us already know what the book is about

Which images describe Janie&#8216;s feelings best?

Her small body seemed to thicken, as if she had real iron in her blood and weight several tons.

Perhaps I should move, she thought. But nothing happened to her legs. They stayed there, holding her color-wheel brain in place, waiting to get run over.

I&#8216;m sort of like a flag. [...] they don&#8216;t say it out loud, but [...] the old flag waves, YOU&#8216;RE DUMB.

Her brain stopped being a color wheel and became an echo chamber - Jennie Spring...

[The daydream] crawled out of her brain like a creature out of the dark.

We took the pictures with the rain, the lightning and the storm, because janie&#8216;s feelings are generally very negative. She is confused, desperate and scared. Therefore we think that the three pictures with the bad weather express her negative feelings very well and also the restlessness and desire within her. Additionally we think that the picture with the blue sky describes her feelings very well. It shows how the blue sky is replaced by dark clouds. This is also discribed with the quote: &#8220;The golden-blue October had vanished and turned black and thundering&#8220;. Both the picture and the quote illustrate that her previously beautiful world suddenly collapses and becomes dark, unknown and sad. The blue sky represents her beautiful life in the past and the clouds moving in represent her despair and all the bad things that are coming.&#160; As already mentioned, we also took the picture with the storm, because it shows how confused she is. To her it seems as if her thoughts are a storm. She is confused, desperate, nothing makes sense anymore and everything is just swirling around in her head. Besides, the picture is also mentioned in the quote: &#8220;It threw the rain against the pavement and ripped the leaves from the sugar mapes&#8221;. This quote also refers to rain, which is why we chose the picture with the rain. It shows Janie's sadness, fear and all the bad feelings.&#160; As our last picture we chose the one with the lightning, because this is also mentioned in the quote:&#8221;The sky full of rage ready to hit someone.&#8221;. On the one hand it shows how fast everything changed for Janie. On the other hand it shows how big her uncertainty is.

Chapters 6-7, taken from the novel &#8222;The Face On The Milk Carton&#8220; by Caroline B. Cooney deal with the actions and events at the meeting of the Johnsons, the Shieldses and the Sherwoods and about Janie searching for the key to the bank safe, in which her birth certificate is kept. The first action in chapter six is that the Johnsons, the Sheldses, and the Sherwoods are driving in seperate cars to a football match, which they do every year, because it is something like a tradition. Before they leave Janie begs her parents to let her drive, and they allow it, even though Janie doesn't have a driver's license, yet. While they drive past Reeve&#8217;s house, Janie notices Lizzie, one of Reeve&#8217;s siblings, which Janie doesn&#8217;t like very much, coming out of the house, because Lizzie comes to the football game too, which Janie is very upset about.&#160; Next they all eat what they brought with them. Afterwards Janie, Reeve and Sarah-Charlotte separate from their parents and walk around the campus, talking about what college would be like. Next they all sit down in the stadium and watch the game. During the second quarter of the game Mrs. Johnson starts to serve the cake to the others that she had spent a lot of effort on to make and decorate to the others. At this time Janie and Reeve get closer and closer to each other until Janie even starts to feed Reeve, which causes that both don't pay attention to the rest of the game but are only interested in each other. When the game ends, they all go home together and Sarah-Chalotte sleeps at Janie's house, watching movies and talking about Reeve.&#160; In the seventh chapter Janie comes home and nobody is there so she gets the idea to search for the key for the bank safe deposit so that she can take her birth certificate on her own. First, she searches for it in her mothers desk, but only finds papers and a locked shelf. Then, she notices that she has never been alone in the attic and starts to search there. First, she only finds old stuff, but in the corner she found a box with the inscription H, in which she finds a photo of a blond sweet girl, some papers and reports of a girl named Hannah and the dress from the photo on the milk carton.

Actually, we knew right from the start that the word "to kidnap" must be included in the collection in any case, because it is very important for the story and is also the topic of the whole book. We also added: &#8220;to compute, to make sth. up, to be trapped, to avoid, to vanish, to spin, to be paralyzed, to remember and to be aware of&#8220;, because they also describe key moments of the story. "To be trapped" or "to be paralized" for example describe Janie's feelings. "To remember," "to be aware of", "to compute&#8220; and &#8222;to make sth. up&#8220; on the other hand, describe the ambivalence she feels.
