Among the Hidden


Mary Petersen Haddix wrote a series about a dystopian world in which third children are illegal.  Jen and Luke are such children.  Their lives and experiences are very different, however, and their attitude toward changing that reality is, too.

In the last chapter, we discovered Luke's decision about the future.  What is that decision?  Do you think Jen would be happy with it?  Explain.

    1. Fake I.D.?

      Last word should be "too" as in "also.

  2. Luke chose do get a fake ID. He is now Lee Grant, who is going to a boarding school for running away from home. I don't think Jen would be happy about this because she said that when the other hidden children said they would get fake ID's, she got really mad and said they wouldn't need fake ID's after the rally.

    1. Your first and second sentences need to be separated by a period, but otherwise, a good answer.

  4. Luke decides to get a fake id and he gets the id of a kid that died in a ski accident. I think Jen would approve because she wanted the shadow or 3rd children to be free from the law that doesn't let them live.

  6. Luke's decision was to get a fake ID as Lee Grant which was a boy that died when he was skiing. I don't think that Jen would like the idea because she wanted 3rd children to be free in their own identity.

    1. Be sure to add a space after your period. The fake ID is still sort of hiding, though.

  11. Luke decided to get a fake ID and leave home and his family. I think Jen would be happy with him because Jen always wanted to make a difference and he got a fake ID to be safe but mainly to make a difference in hidden children's life.

  13. Luke's decision was to get a fake ID, so he got one. Luke is going to try to free all the 3rd children. Jen does not like fake ID's but all her life she has wanted to be free with all the other 3rd children.

  14. Luke's decision about his future is to get a fake ID and help make shadow children free in small ways. Jen would not be happy about Luke getting a fake ID, because she hates fake IDs she wants shadow kids to be free without fake IDs. She would be happy about making shadow children free in little ways,because she tried in a big way and she got killed.

    1. Yes, she did, but what about his decision to work in small ways as Lee Grant to help make them free? Would she like that?

  16. I think Luke made the right decision when he made the decision to get a fake i.d. and Jen would have liked that he got a fake i.d. because jen wants the shadow children to be free and that's what Luke is going to do.

    1. Getting a fake I.D. won't really make him free. ALso, watch your capitals. Proper nouns (names) should always be capitalized. You also could have broken this down into three sentences rather than one long one.

    1. Good response, but you might think about breaking up very long responses into two or three sentences. It would read better.

      "which" not "witch"

  19. Luke decided to get the fake ID and now he is going off to school. I think that Jen would be proud of Luke because she has always wanted third children to be free and now Luke is not free yet but he is helping third children.

    1. Good. I am glad you mentioned that the I.D. won't make him free...

  20. I think that Jen would be OK with the dissension that Luke gets a fake I.D and stands up for third children, because she wanted the third children to be free. But she did not want any third child to have a fake I.D because having a fake I.D means not being free.

  22. Luke's decision was to get a fake ID. Jen would not be happy with Luke's decision because when she had a fake ID she felt she wasn't in own family so she thinks Luke would not like it.

  23. In the last chapter Luke did decide to get a fake ID.SO now Luke is now Lee Grant.I think that Jen would be very happy that that Luck is doing this because Jen really wanted Luck to go to the rally to help the other 3rd children but Luck could not.But now luck is doing this to help all the other 3rd children I think Jen would be really happy.

    1. O.K. You have the right ideas here. You need to edit your work before you publish.
      Watch your spacing after periods.
      "Luke" not "luck"
