[sim]

In chapter 18 Elena is frustrated with Cody at the beginning of the chapter, WHY? Later Cody is found back where he almost died, IN YOUR OPINION why did he return to this place? Michael and Marlow are discussing the break in and the future of Cody and the trouble that's coming, write abut what they fear.

[plaipetch]

First, Elena was frustrated with cody because after cody got shot he never contacted her or Theodore again which made her worried about him. Fearing that Cody had died she was frustrated that since he is well he could at least contact them back. Furthermore she was worried about Cody's whereabouts and well being since she heard from Theodore that after Cody got shot he never went to the hostpital so that made her anxious. in my opinion the reason Cody came back was partly due to post trauamatic stress. as we could see, Cody's eyes was red from crying and his skin was pale. This suggests that after he was shot he went through a near-death experience which gave him traumatic stress. According to Thai beliefs when people die their souls are attached to the place they died, so we can assume that similar case happend in the story where Cody is temporary attached to the place he 'died'. Marlow and Michael are under the assumption that a powerful astropath is scheming something dangerous and it is inevitable that conflict between astropaths will occur in the future. What they are concern about most is that Cody is probably the keystone to all the events that are happening and will happen and thus they should train and prepare themselves as well as Cody.

Elena is frustrated with Cody at the beginning of the chapter,because Cody disappear after he got shot. Cody didn't contacted her or Theodore,so she worried about Cody did he was okay or not and many things else. Theodore was sure that he saw Cody get shot, but the police said that Cody was never in the hospital and the police can't give them any information about Cody, because they were not Cody's family.This even make Elena more frustrated. Cody returned to the place which he almost died, because Cody still shocked about was just happened. I think that if I almost died like Cody I will be emotionless just like him. I think Cody shocked from what happened and didn't believe that he still alive, so he returned to the place and didn't notice he was doing it. Michael and Marlow were discuss about what they should do next, because there were guys who broke into Michael's house to find information about him and they must find other astropaths in Asia. They need to go to G.G. and begin to search with Asian connections.Last, both Michael and Cody have to train to prepare for a battle between astropaths in the future.

At the beginning of the chapter Elena is frustrated at Cody, because both she and Theodore tries to search for him after they know that he got shot, however the hospital won't give them information saying that they aren't Cody's relative. So she was worried if Cody is okay or not. They then found Cody walking by the road lanes, Cody eyes were red and his skin were pale, because he thought that when he heard te gun shot he will dies, however he survive. The picture and the sound of the gunshots might still haunt him and that made him return to the place without realizing himself. Michael and Marlow came to realize that an powerful astropath is planning something dangerous that could cause conflict in the future, or in other worlds war of the astropath. The astropaths including Cody should as well train to prepare themselves for battle as Cody is target by some astropath to use him for power play.

Elena was frustrated at the beginning of the chapter because she didn't know where Cody goes. Cody just dissapeared and she had no idea about it. Cody didn't contact both Elena and Theodore. Theodore and Elena started to find Cody. Finally Theodore and Elena find Cody at seven-eleven. Cody can read Elena's thought that she is happy when she sees that Cody is fine. Cody said he wasn't shot but he just fell to the ground and hit a jam bottle so it looks like blood. After that, Marrow and Michael came to see Cody at seven eleven. Cody told Elena that Marrow is his uncle. But then Tawana and Marcus follows, Tawana told Elena that Cody has no family so Elena was even frustrated and think that Cody lie to her.
In my opinion, I think that Cody went back to the place where he almost died because he didn't believe that it really happened to him. He might want to go back and look at the location where it happens and realize something more.
Michael and Marlow are discussing the break in the future of Cody and the trouble that's coming because before this there are strangers that go to Marlow's house. This might not be safe for Cody and everyone in the future. By this, they will go search for other places in Asia to practice the astropath and meet G.G.

[kanunsupissara]

In the beginning of the chapter, Elena was frustated about where Cody was. She was worried whether Cody was fine or not especially when she knew he was shot. It was also because Cody hadnt contacted neither Theodore or Elena after the shot. It also shocked her that Cody didn't go to the hospital after the shot. Later in the chapter, Cody told her he will be going with his uncle. But Tawana said he had no relatives left. This even frustrated her, thinking Cody was a big liar. She didnt understand why would he have to lie.
In my opinion, Cody returned to 7-11 to recover his memories about what had happened. He would want to go back to the place to get the feelings of the robbing scene back. A great evidence would be that his eyes were red, probably because he was crying. I think he might be thinking about why he had to face so many problems and was trying to figure out what to do next. Maybe he might go back to 7-11 for a runaway from everyone, including Michael and Marlow.
When Cody was alseep, Michael and Marlow discussed about all the problems and weird situations they had undergone. They thought that Cody might be the reason for all of these things. They assumed that there must be a powerful astropath trying to indirectly attack them. They are thinking of going to Asia inorder to train and strengthen Cody's and their power. Also, they are also looking forward to meet GG there.

[tonnattanzeppeli]

The reason why Elena is frustrated at the begining of the chapter because she starts to be in love with Cody and she worries that she will never see Cody again. I can tell this by the dialogue in the play. Seconf, the reason why Cody comes to the place where he is alomost dead because he has nowhere else to go or may be he wants to be found by someone. I think he knows that if he decides to return to the place where he almost dies, he is going to be found by someone which will continue his journey. In addition, he may think that God is the one who destines him what to do, so he may think that whoever find him will be the one that God chooses. At the end of the chaoter, Michael and Marlow talk about what they are going to do next which includes the mystery of masked man who rob their house. In their dialogues, I see that they fear of the astropaths that are after them. Because when astropaths vs astropaths, it won't be an easy battle. In addition, it will be a battle that use chicanery and mental strength. They decide to train Cody harder in order to beat other astropaths that are after them.

     Elena is frustrated at the beginning of the chapter due to the reason of that Theodore and she cannot find Cody after hours of searching. She appears to be very worried and concerned of Cody. After an incident, Cody is disappeared along with two unknown men and they never have his contact ever since that. It may be a feeling of companionship that keeps her to be so attached to such fact but 'love' might have a big role in this too.
     The possible reason for Cody's return to his place after the event is a post-traumatic effect. After the near death experience combining with his age of never having such confrontation before, death will indeed be quite threatened and shocked for him. Primal fear and confusion probably paralyze his full conscious; thus, he takes action according to his instinct. This 'instinct' is to act according to the routine that he seems familiar which is to return to where Theodore and he live.
     Michael and Marlow discuss about the topic on the possible future event that may occur later this chapter. This conversation illustrates their fear of threat that may erupt soon. This is associated with the powerful astropath 'Tearlach'. Furthermore, there are events that foreshadow such intervention of this threat such as when a group of thug attempts to invade Michael's place.

The thing that made Elena frustrated at the beginning of the chapter is that she was worried about Cody. She heard that Cody was shot and there were no signal or anything that can tell them where is he. He didn't contact neither Elena nor Theodor and the policeman told them that he didn't go to the hospital. That made her even frustrated about where did he go and will he be fine. Because when she meet Cody later at the place, her first thought that Cody heard was "I'm glad you are fine" which was a phrase that explain how care and worried she was about him.
A possible reason that Cody went back to that place is because it's the only place that may allow him to recall his memory of almost die. He was shot there and his eyes turn red when his skin were pale, that might explain the fear and the mystery about what have happened to him. He might wonder why he was in this live or die situation and he might think that he was lucky to survive the situation.
Marlow and Michael were discussing about what have happened to Cody. They realized that they especially were in danger where there is some kind of powerful man or another astorpath involve in this event. So they planned to go to Asia and to train themselves in order to handle the powerful enemies that are not far from them

Elena was frustrated in the beginning of the chapter because she had no ideas where Cody went. Cody was just gone; he contacted neither Elena nor Theodore. So Elena and Theodore started searching for Elena and met him at the 7-eleven, the place where all the messes occurred. Cody read Elena’s thought and realized she was relieved that Cody is fine. However, Cody frustrated her more with his fabrication. At first, Elena believed what Cody said; she believed that Cody was not shot and that Marrow was his uncle. However, when Tawana came and told Elena and Theodore that Cody has no relatives, Elena was exasperated.
In my opinion, Cody returned to the place because of his curiosity and instinct. It is human’s instinct to find out what happens. Cody was just trying to untangle his perplexed mind. The deadly experience and the first-time confrontation of nearly-dead position shocked him. His instinct told him to go back and try to figure things out.
Marrow and Michael discussed about the possible threat in the near future. They were afraid. This was because of Tearlach’s group and also the invasion of a group of thugs to Michael’s place.

Elena was frustrated by the limited amount of information on Cody. After such incident, no surprised that she or anyone would be shock and confused about what's going on (and wants to know more). Especially Elena and Theodore, who really care about Cody, and the fact that Cody was taken away very fast. They only acknowledged the fact that he was taken by a very inexplicable men, who said that they would take Cody to the hospital. Cody never really went to the Hospital and his whereabouts remain a mystery. For the second part, i think that the reason he returned to the store is because Cody was skeptical about the incident; to be honest, the event happened really fast. He got shot, then was half-consciously taken away by Michael and Marlow. So i think he went back there due to the confusion and the question he still had. More importantly, another reason he went back there is due to Theodore. He knew he cant leave Theodore hanging, confused and shocked. He had to at least says goodbye to his new friends Theodore and Elena, because he know that this might be the last chance he will be able to see them again in person. He risked the chance to encounter Tawana and the police in order to set something straight. Nonetheless, Cody is a very important person. In other word this can mean 2 ways; this can be good because he is special (gifted and powerful) but the bad thing is that,he's in danger. Michael and Marlow feared that they will be an inevitable "battle" between astropath, and Cody might be the reasons of it all.

[Angsuthornsilruangwilai]

    Elena was frustrated at the beginning of the chapter because she cares about Cody. She worried that Cody may be injured in the middle of nowhere and she thought theodore and her are the only two who care whether Cody lives or dies. Also Theodore told her about the fact that he saw Cody was shot but there was no report on a kid admit to a hospital. Elena started to frustrated again after realized that Cody may lie to her about uncle marlow because it make her feel hurt inside that she didn't know anything about Cody even though she thought she did.
    Cody returned to the store because he don't know where he should go, what he should do, and if it was real. Cody probably want to confirm about his existence and whether he died, dreamed, or survived. Cody must be in a shock so this make him confuse about want is going on in his life. The only way to make everything much more clear when the mind of a person can't focus or think is to move the body and go see or figure out by themselves. Cody is probably in unconscious state until he heard someone( who is Elena) called out his name and make him realize that he still exist
    Michael and Marlow fear that they may have to fight another astropath who they don't even know exist or where the another astropath is. The only they know is they must train themselves to become stronger and wait for the time to come.Marlow also fear of war between an astropaths which had happened once in the history of astropath.

At the beginning of the chapter, Elena was frustrated with Cody because she didn't know where Cody is after he got shot. He disappeared with two unknown men. He didn't contact her, so Elena and Theodore start to search for him. However, they get even frustrated when the police told them that Cody didn't go to the hospital. She was worried if Cody is fine or not. Finally, they met him at seven eleven. Cody read Elena's thought and know that she is happy when she knew that Cody is fine. Then, Cody told Elena that Marlow is his uncle, but Tawana told Elena that Cody has no relatives. So, Elena even frustrated because she thinks that Cody lie to her.
In my opinion, I think that Cody returned to the place where he almost died because he still shocked about the situation that just happened. He might want to go back and realize what really happened.
Michael and Marlow are discussing about the problems they've faced because there were unknown men went to Marlow’s house and they thought that Cody might be the reason. Cody and everyone will not be safe, so they will look for other places in Asia in order to practice for astropath skill.

Cody was gone. Cody didn't contact both Theodore and Elena. Cody further more lied to Elena that he has s relative left. However, Tawana later tells Elena that he has no family member left. How Can Elena not be frustated when Cody has done these things? When they went to the police, they didnl't get any information about Cody. When they went to the hospital, they couldn't get too because they are not Cody's family members. Cody was believed by Elena and himself that he was dead. Nevertheless, he wasnt. He fell down and the blood is actually a jam.
In my opinion, he went back to the place where he thought he died in order to make sure that he really survived. With a pale skin and red eyes, they proved to be that he's listless and stress. He must have been crying so bad that his body turned pale. He thinks that why should it be him that faced problem and why should it be him that loses everybody he loves.
Marlow and Michael were discussing about the break in and the future. Strangers break in the house. They might be another astropath that needs more information to win the battle in the future. Both Marlow and Michael want to make connections in Asia and to meet GG.

[jirat]

The reason why Elena frustrated about this is because of Cody. According to what Theodore said, he saw Cody got shot but it seem that he went missing, so this made Elena worried about him. After awhile when Elena and Theodore found Cody where he got shot, Elena became more frustrated because she think that if he is fine then he should contact her. In my opinion, there is a subconscious statement that guide Cody to where the incidence occurred, because when such a pernicious thing happen, people will obviously, subconsciously think about that event. So, in this case Cody experience life and death, so his mind might split and subconsciously used his power and guide to where he was.
The topic that Michael and Marlow discussed was about the war between astropaths in the near future. They fear that this battle is inevitable since they both sense of evil. They did mention about the strange thing that happen with them for example the hideout assault or a mysterious guy who proclaimed him as a god. They suggest that the thing that happen recently until now must have involved with Cody, so they plan to prepare for this "GREAT" war. Now they decide to sharpen Cody skill as they decide to move one to Asia and meet their companion.
