The Host- Reading Skills

Predictions-
      On page 148, I can predict that Jodi is someone who was once important to Kyle because Jeb says, ""If somebody found your Jodi on a raid and brought here, would you want me or Doc or a vote deciding what we did with her?"
"Jodi is dead," Kyle hissed."
I do not know who Jodi is, but using context clues I can figure out that Jodi was very important to Kyle.
     On page 98, the text says, "This is crazy, you know, I told her, throwing the car into park and twisting the keys out of the ignition. The whole thing. There can't really be anyone out here We won't find anything. And we're going to get hopelessly lost trying." This paragraph is mostly foreshadowing and irony used at the same time. I can predict that there will be someone in the desert, because throughout the book, whenever Wanderer says something will not happen, it ends up happening.

 Questions-
 Page 14- Whose point of view is this from?
Page 25- Why does this Host want to start as an adult? Did something happen?
Page 90- Why is Wanderer giving in?
Page 136- Is Jared still in love with Melanie?
Page 151- Why is Jared protecting Wanderer?

Connections-
     Text to Text-
"I ripped into the bread." (Page 140)
In the book, "The Immortal Rules" Allison Sekemoto does the same thing, when she had not eaten for weeks. This made me compare of how there is a different plot and situation, but both authors described the hunger when they explained how they "ripped" into the bread.

     Text to Self-
"You're afraid to fly?" The Seeker's voice was full of disbelief edging toward mockery. "You've traveled through deep space eight times and you're afraid to take a shuttle to Tucson, Arizona?" (Page 68)
I really appreciate the way that Stephanie Meyer wrote this. Wanderer made up a fear of flying because she is going to help Melanie find Jared, who is located in the desert. If Wanderer flew, she would of had to actually see her Comforter, and would of not been able to go see Jared. This is actually something I would of done. I like to figure out loop holes through things, just like Wanderer did here.


     Text to World-
""Jared,"she cried; through my damaged throat the sound was just a croak.
     She jerked me forward, much the same way as she had in the desert, assuming control of my frozen body. The only difference was that this time, it was by force." (Page 131)
      Melanie (and Wanderer) is in love with Jared. Melanie is forcing Wanderer to run over to Jared, because she loves him. Melanie has made Wanderer come across the country to try to find Jared, which has over time made Wanderer also fall in love with him. As love plays a big role in this book, many people in our world can also identify with love, and how they would probably trek across the world for their loved one.
