Blog Post due on Monday, 4/7 by 8 am

In Chapter One of The Westing Game, Ellen Raskin writes: "Who were these people, these specially selected tenants? They were mothers and fathers and children. A dressmaker, a secretary, an inventor, a doctor, a judge. And, oh yes, one was a bookie, one was a burglar, one was a bomber, and one was a mistake. Barney Northrup had rented one of the apartments to the wrong person."

1. Which character do you think is the bookie, the bomber, the burglar, or the mistake? Why? Use evidence from the text to support your predictions.

2. Comment on another classmate's post. Do not simply agree or disagree with them and summarize what they wrote. You MUST expand on their thinking.

**Please make sure your blog rubric is in front of you when you post, so that know exactly what is expected.
