The Mysterious Benedict Society (part 6)

   I am on page 367 out of 485 pages in the book The Mysterious Benedict Society. Reynie, Constance, Kate, and Sticky have found out pretty much everything about what Mr. Curtain was up to. 

   The children have gotten into the secret cave. They were walking around when they came to the last door in the cave. This door needed a code to get in. The children saw a note above the door. The note had a message on it, and the children had to figure out what it meant. Hidden inside the note there was the code to get in the door. They went into the room and hide seconds before Mr. Curtain drove in sitting in his wheelchair(phew!). The children hid until he left.

   While Mr. Curtain was looking at papers on his desk the children were hidden inside of a wooden crate. After Mr. Curtain left the room the children got out of their hiding place. They sent Constance to be the lookout while the other children looked around. They saw some papers on Mr. Curtain's desk. The papers were very mysterious. They were newspaper articles for the future. Why were they for the future? The children read the articles. The articles said that there was a disease going around, and they also said things about how Mr. Curtain will always keep you safe.

   The children find out that Mr. Curtain's plan is to brainwash all of the messengers and some of the students! This means that the children will be brainwashed if they don't think of something and fast. 

   When the children send a message to Mr. Benedict they see someone outside. Did that person see them sending messages?! The children look more closely and see that the person standing there is Milligan! They run out to where he was standing. Milligan says that there mission is complete and that they have to go back now. Kate asks Milligan if Mr. Benedict will be able to stop Mr. Curtain. Milligan hesitates and then says that there is no way to stop Mr. Curtain and they need to get to safety. The children say that they have to stay. They can't let all of the people get brainwashed! Milligan says okay. The children are staying at the school for a little bit longer.

    I question that I have is why is Mr. Curtain going to brainwash the students? I think that he might want to brainwash the students so that they can't tell anybody else about the school or what they were learning there. If the students did tell other people about the school, then they might not trust him anymore.

    A connection that I have in this story is about Constance. She often feels left out. Sometimes I feel left out when my three older brothers are watching movies that I can't watch or staying up really late. This is kind of how Constance  felt with Reynie, Kate, and Sticky.

    I predict that Mr. Curtain will find out about the children. I think this because a lot of the time in mystery books the characters get caught. Will it happen in this story?

    In this book there are static and dynamic characters. Static characters are characters who have little or no inner change. Dynamic characters are characters that do have inner change. Constance is a dynamic character. She has changed. In the beginning of the story Constance is very stuck-up and didn't lesson. Now, she lessons a lot more then she used to and is nice(most of the time:-)). Kate is a static character. She doesn't change(or hasn't so far). She has always been nice and energetic. She never gives up.
