A. Food/ Drinks: TYLER

C: KENNY: morone book club round 2, week 2, we read the second 5th of the book, and we all are still confused. tyler brought in bbq chips and they were very good. also, tyler found great website in class that is helping us understand the book better. it gives us summaries on each chapter. it is very very helpful. but still i am having trouble understanding it.

B: STEVE: The language in this book, is very different from real people talking. They use much much more detail in their sentences and use a wider vocabulary. Especially Rorschach when he talks about people hes killed and how it makes him feel. And Dr Manhattan when he is analyzing something, it barely sounds like english.

D: BOBBY: 1. Why In the wake of the bombing of Hiroshima Osterman’s father, a watchmaker push his son? to give up a career in watchmaking and become a scientist? Because his dad knew that there was going to be war so his son should be involved in the nuclear bomb making. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Week 3: chapters 7-9 A. food/ drinks: TYLER

B: KENNY: the tone of this book is gory, action packed and hard to understand. the action scenes are action packed but the entire book itself is confusing. i am still having trouble understanding.

C: BOBBY:

D: STEVE: 1. Why do Dan and Laurie decide to take the airship out for a spin? 2. Why did the gang on "knot-tops" think that Hollis Mason was Night-Owl? 3. Why does Dr. Manhattan decide to come and get Laurie now? 4. Why do you think Laurie is mad that the comedian is her real father? 5. How did something as small as a perfume bottle collapse the whole structure?

Week 4: chapters 10-11

A: food/ drinks: BOBBY

B: STEVE: This books seems to be really pointing out all the flaws in the world today. Things that most people would never think of when thinking of the planet have been put into this book. And they seem to be making the super heroes more like the villians because of how far they go to achieve good. Night-Owl and the Silk Spectre break into a prison just to get Rorscach killing many people on the way. Its like they don't even care because anyone who tries to stop them just gets beat up.

C: KENNY: for week 4 of morone book club, we had great food. since bobby forgot his original food bag, he orderd dominos 5-5-5 deal with a 2 liter bottle of coke. it was very good. we talked about the book and how it is still very very confusing

D: TYLER:

Week 5: Chapter 12

A: Food/drinks: Kenny

B: Tyler

C: Steven- For the last week of book club we enjoyed some nice soft bagels and iced tea as we talked about the books ending. A lot of group members didn't understand it so I tried to explain, but that was useless. I know this book taught me a lot but for everyone else.....I'm not so sure. Nobody else really seemed to understand what was going on the whole time. This book would be a little better for older people than freshmen in highschool.
