the setting for i am the weapon is all over one second he boy nobody could be in sombodys house then the next he is running away cause he killed that person but if there was one setting that i find important is when he gose to the new school and meets sam. and finds out he has to kill the mayor her dad thats all i know for now
Alex Garcia Mrs.scheller 1 I am the weapon is great hook at the beginning were all the action builds up to and that's how hooked you are at the start of the book and makes u want to read more of this fantastic book.This has to be one of my favorite books iv'e have read in a long time and has the best hook for me and it really calls for me i really recommend this book to future readers.
tristin H.i want to know why you like this book so much and what you think is going to happen at the end or mid way threw and i know that you are not far in the book but i want to know your thoughts
The setting is most likely in present day, and it takes place in a unknown country. Boy nobody travels from city to city but it never give a specific setting where this is taking place at. This definitely makes you think alot about what country he is in and what state he is in. It also makes you think about has anyone ever seen him twice and recognized him,from one of the other cities he has been in, because maybe they had moved from somewhere where boy nobody was to where boy nobodys mission is next.
The setting of the story affects Boy Nobody's action and thinking. The time of the story gives the least effect on the story. When Boy Nobody is in a new location, he notices everything around the location. He notices the exits, people, how they act and how they feel.The setting makes Boy Nobody change actions. For example,after Boy Nobody goes to Apple Store during his lunch hour. He is on the streets and then he notices a presence. He starts thinking about the presence. He senses that the presence is following him. He speeds up going to school.If I was in the setting, I would the same thing.If I saw someone following me, I would speed up. They are more likely to speed up too. By that time, I know if they are following me or not.
Ms. Sheller, Hour:1 Grogan Kraus I do not think setting of the story affects Boy Nobody's thinking process very much . I do agree that the setting of the story can impact the way he thinks of certain situations, but does not affect instinct. When Boy Nobody is in a new location, he assesses more of his situation than the setting he is in. He sees the room of course and how it can be beneficial in a tactical point of view. A good example of this is when he is fighting the four Chinese men on the road, he quickly reads each or their fighting styles and adapts to it. He also uses their car, which happens to be in the setting, to his advantage.
Mrs. scheller, hour 3, cole schneider, I setting is always affecting Boy. He is always on a new mission. He always has to constantly think about his surroundings, he even plays scenarios in his head. He always is paying attention to who is around him, what are their actions, where are the closest exits, who's watching etc.for example when he is at the school he knows and pays attention to peoples body language he thinks about what he is going to say or do before he says or does it. If I was Boy and I had to adapt to his environment I would always be thinking about what is going to happen. He has to do the things he does for his own safety and so that he doesn't blow his cover.
i disagree when u say that the setting affects the main character because hes been trained to do what he needs to do no matter with who or where he is i think whats effecting him now is that he is finally showcasing emotions most all teens go through naturally but he is letting them impact his assignment because he doesnt know how to deal with it
Spencer Stephenson,Ms.Sheller,3rd The setting is affecting Boy's thoughts because he always needs to know whats around him. Due to his past he doesn't feel emotion because his father was killed in front of him and he was taken in by some organization that trained him to be an assassin. Boy probably wouldn't be killing people all the time if he felt guilt or any other emotion. My reaction to having to adapt to Boy's environment would be that I would freak out because my parents are dead and i would have to be an assassin.
Rylie Montgomery, 1st hour, Mrs. Sheller. I disagree with you on the fact that boy nobody wouldnt be killing people if he felt guilty or emotion. I think that this whole thing has nothing to do with what he feels or wants to do, he has no choice he is being forced to do it or he dies, and i really do think he has feelings and emotions its just harder for him to express them and find them.
Alex Williams Mrs. Sheller 4th The effect of the setting on the main character is not a lot but because he has to kill his targets, so he has to adapt to the setting to get the advantage to overcome his challenges to kill his target so he notices everything including the people, the area around himself, and how to get to his target. I wouldn't adapt very well because I don't notice the details and don't have the training that he has been through like not feeling when he kills, attack maneuvers, and how he impersonates different people for different tasks.
How do you think boy nobody was trained so well? Why do you think he actually cooperates with the program? Do you like this book? How man feet do you have? How many toes do you have? -Spencer Stephenson
mrs.scheller,melisa leon-ornelas 3rd.The setting of i am weapon seems to take place around 2010,when the first few i phones were released. the book started off at the end of the main characters assignments where he is instructed to kill his "friends" dad. after completing the assignment he vanishes and waits to adjust to a whole new assignment (new name,life,house,family,state) his second assignment in the book is to kill the new york mayor but to do that he has to befriend his daughter and get to the father in 5 days this is a huge adjustment because he usually has 2-3 months to do his assignment and gain trust but with this being a much shorter timeline and the daughter of the mayor being extremely well at reading people he has had to think on his feet and use stratigies from his training he hasnt before.
Rylie Montgomery, Mrs schellar, 1st hour I disagree that this book is taking place in 2010. i think that this book is taking place either in present day or the future, this is because of there really advanced technology. the first iPhone came out in 2007 and the 4th one came out in 2010 but even though it was the fourth iPhone to come out it wasn't anything amazing or advanced and since boy nobody has this amazing phone that can help him communicate to mother and father without any concerns or questions and helps him with his assignment that definitely is very advanced for 2007,2010 and even probably for 2019 i dont believe that this is taking place in 2010.
Chas Hoskins, Mrs. Scheller, 4th hour The setting does effect Boy Nobody's thoughts, actions, and choices. Boy is mostly always on a mission to to get close to the child of an important person and then kill the person. Boy will always need to asset the situation by going over the setting he is in so that he can do his job. I would be nervous all of the time if I had to adapt to Boys environment. I would know in the back of my mind that sooner or later I will have to kill a persons dad or mother just so I can be alive. Then I will have to do it again after I get done with my mission.
I think adapting to Boy Nobody's environment would not make the person nervous. If you are in his environment, you know when you feel safe or in danger. You know how to get out of the situation. I think what makes adapting nervous are environments that make you decide fast. Not knowing what to do in a situation makes the person nervous.
Rylie Montgomery, Mrs Schellar, 1st hour I disagree with boy nobodys job and his assignments the fact that he has to just go kill someone because mother and father say so is awful. Boy nobody doesnt even know why he is killing these people. I think Boy nobody is actually a really nice, and smart, and funny kid but since he has now joined the organization he isn't allowed to be himself, he has to go and screw up a family and then vanish into thin air. I think that Boy Nobody actually doesnt like what he is doing and i think you can really tell that now with his new assignment with sam and the mayor that he doesnt really want to be apart of this and hes only doing it to stay alive. I think to fix this he should stand up for himself and not be afraid to leave this organization, i think it will be tough but i think that he is smart enough to do it.
I think that Boy Nobody knows that no one is innocent. He knows that the Program chooses people that are not innocent. That gives him the motivation to do his assignments. I do think that he can not leave the Program. The Program knows a lot about him. The Program trained him. They know his weaknesses.
The action that Boy Nobody does that I disagree is not using his chance to kill the mayor. His mission is to kill the mayor. He had 2 chances to kill the mayor but he did not take the chance. The character is acting this way because of Sam. He has feelings for her. The mayor is Sam´s father.Killing the mayor will affect Sam. The thing I see wrong with this is he can just move on after killing mayor. He can forget it. The preferable response I suggest is to kill the mayor at the first chance. It is easier to do it as earlier as possible. As the mission goes longer, feelings will start forming.
i agree when u say that he has had 2 chances to kill the mayor and he should have no problem doing it but i also disagree because in both instances it would have been impossible fro him to leave the area without being killed, the security alone would have known it was him and killed him instantly i think he needs to find a time where security is low and it looks like a completely natural death.
so boy nobody is at this new school and he wants to keep a low profile right, but then he goes off and gets invited to a party like if i was a contract killer i would make friends to not be like an outcast and look suspicious but to go to a party i do not know maybe it was a good idea but honestly i would not have went but that just me
Rylie Montgomery, Mrs.schellar, 1st hour I get what your saying but dont you think that not going to the party would have been a little more suspicious than going especially since they are all teenagers it seems more common to say yes also it helped boy nobody meet the mayor and get to know him a little bit i also think it was a good idea for him to go because i think this really was his turning point and him getting real feelings since he had that chance to kill the mayor but he didn't.
Alex Garcia,Mrs.scheller,4th hour Setting of this amazing book is incredible.In this book has got to be one of the best so far from the couple chapters i have read it already has me hooked to find what happens next.It is amazing how a sixteen year old can do so much at his age and still be brave and fearless of his actions he doe's in this book.to know a little of his past you can tell he had no choice but at the same time he also was to young to decide to know what choice to take.
in what way do you think he had no choice on becoming a hit man he could habe ran away or got trained and killed the people who made him do all the stuff hes doing
Grogan Kraus, Scheller: 4th hour When it comes to Boy Nobody's actions, most are from a tactical and assassin standpoint. He thinks of striking distance, and how many people hes against. He also can read other peoples facial expressions to see if they were lying. He strategy more than anything. Later in the book he seems to hesitate more often. He hesitates on multiple occasions to kill his target and does not know why. One of the main reasons that this could be happening for is because of Sam. He continues to flirt with her to get closer to his target. He probably does not realize that it is working, but for both of them. Since he could be developing feelings for Sam he hesitates when killing her father. He could also feel guilty for doing it because he learns about Sam's mother. From here he has two options, to not kill Sam's father, probably be with her, but face The Program's consequences. Or he could be stone cold, kill Sam's father, break her heart, and be rewarded by The Program for his biggest and fastest mission.
The 16 year kid that trace down, and learns about his victim so this unknown teenage boy can end up killing his prey. I think the way he acts or the way he is because he might possibly have sort of agreement or in this nation secret society that trains him to be a train hit man killer seine he was a minor.What i see wrong another hit man or somebody else might pick up strange behavior because the way hes acting towards the outside society.
i do not think the way he acts is bad but i also do not know what page your on but he dose not really engage to people the way sombody will he usally lets them talk to him first and then he makes them gain his trust so i do not think that people will pick up on strange behavior
Spencer Stephenson,Scheller:4th hour The fact that boy nobody is randomly killing people for reasons that he is unaware of is definitely something I wouldn't do. Before you decide to assassinate somebody you should at least know why your doing it. Boy nobody is thinking this way because his father was killed right in front by the people who now own him that he calls mother and father and he just does whatever they say. The reason that i wouldn't do this is that if I'm going to assassinate someone then I'm going to have a reason for it, so he could at least ask why the program wants all these people dead.
Chas Hoskins, Mrs. Scheller:4th hour I don't think that Boy Nobody is randomly killing people. He is assigned to do this job so that he can live. Its the only thing he can do. He was put in this situation by Mother and Father. I think that's the only way he is going to get out of it.
Grogan Kraus, Scheller: 2nd hour He isnt killing people, he is killing people he is assigned to and anybody else that could or got in his way. Like he thought of killing Howard, and the bodyguards because of a potential threat.
Alex Williams Scheller 4th I don't agree with Zack Abram's values which are he kills people and thinks that they did it to themselves and doesn't feel when he kills. The reason that he is acting this way is because he was trained to follow orders and nothing else and how not to feel when he kills. I see Zach's "job" is wrong because even though he is killing people because they are corrupt he is taking people away from their families. I would suggest that he could take down The Program and the people they associate with to stop them from killing other people.
I also disagree with Zack's values but he also knows that the Program only people that are not innocent. Zack also thinks that killing a person in the family is for the greater good of the family. I do not know what is actual purpose of the Program. I think that eventually, Zack will take down the program.
Chas Hoskins, Mrs. Scheller:4th hour I don't like how Mother and Father have been controlling Boy Nobody's life since he was 12 years old. He was barely a teen before they sent Mike on a mission to kill Boy Nobody's parents. Then they're going to train him to be an assassin and kill all these people for "The Program". I don't know why Mother and Father are doing this, but I will most like find out if I keep reading the book. I think Mother and Father are acting like this because they are assigned to by the government or someone that is above the law. I cant really tell the answer to the question either yet. I think Mother and Father are totally wrong for this because they just ruined a kids entire life in an instant. I think that Mother and Father should shut this whole entire program thing down and get arrest for there actions.
Rylie Montgomery, 1st hour, Mrs. schellar I totally agree with you, i really do wonder why Zach nor mike have never either accidently said something to someone and it get brought to the police or they have never just gone themsleves to the police. I also wonder how no one has ever become suspicious of them (besides howard) on whether or not they killed the person who died, like maybe at first if this happened to me i wouldnt think of them at all but after them just randomly disappearing right after a unexpected death i would think that its kinda suspicious and not normal.
melisa leon-ornelas, scheller 4th i disagree with the way sam acts.i thinks shes constantly thinking everyone is lying to her just by the way she reads them and you would think she would tell the truth all the time but no she is the one who lies to everyone all the time and can never really be genuine, this became alot more clear to me when ben found out that shes been exposing american secrets to the world through her fathers blog. it makes me very upset because ben cant say anything to her without her doubting it but she flat out lies and gets away with it
Chas Hoskins, Mrs.Sheller: 4th hour Have you every thought that maybe she was trained to tell if someone is lying? She has a Mayor as a father and a soldier as a ex boyfriend. I think that there is a lot of stuff we don't kn ow about Sam.
Grogan Kraus Scheller: 2nd Hour I mean yeah she could be trained on lie detecting, but isn't it weird that she dated a soldier when she was younger then she was now? And why did she wait so long to confront him from being back in town.
in my opinion the most important conflict is when he is at the party with the mayor and he is about ti kill him but he dose not and he is getting closer to all the people around him i think this will have a big impact on the rest of the book but it may not i guess we will never know till i read on. he is getting pretty close to sam i think she may make a big impact on the rest of the book.
Alex Garcia Mrs.scheller 1st hour: I disagree because he wants freedom and he did not want to kill for living but he was a little boy when he had to choose he had no idea what he was getting him self into
Rylie Montgomery, 3rd hour, Mrs schellar I think that the most important conflict of the book is definitely the conflict between Zach and Mother. The conflict where mother told zach in the middle of his assignment that she wants to change it and doesnt want him to kill the mayor she wants him to kill sam. I think that this really was a turning point for him he started having feelings. Zach also even hesitated for a second before killing sam he started having these thoughts on well maybe i should let her go or maybe i should kill myself instead and let her go. He really showed feelings for her.
The mother is not the actual mother of Zach. I think that Zach already had feelings before the mission changed target. On the ending, I really did not think that Zach would kill Sam. Zach was forced to kill Sam and stay another day. Which I think will make Zach very sad and be against the Program.
I think the most important conflict in the book is killing Sam. There are few reasons why I think killing Sam is the most important conflict. The first is that Boy Nobody has one day left to do the mission. The second reason is Boy Nobody loves Sam. The third reason is Boy Nobody thinks Sam is innocent. The Program only targets people who are not innocent ,but Boy Nobody thinks Sam is innocent. This conflict is important because it shows whether Boy Nobody is loyal or not loyal to the Program. My reaction to the conflict was shocked. I did not know that the Program can change target during the mission.
I agree with the fact that sam is one of the major conflicts , but do you think the program could have made a mistake and sam really is innocent. Or they did it on purpose just to test to see if boy is still loyal to the program?
Alex Garcia Mrs.scheller 2nd hour: I cannot explain how great this book is the ammount of drama and action is just incredible and how the author explains every detail in little by little the fact that u can put a image of whats happening when u read it and how it can really show a moving image in your head and u can really see it if you are really interested in the book.The author is very great at putting a image in your head of whats happening in the story and the incredible action your reading is just fascinating.The character its self has such an amazing background and how it all began for him and the things he had to go thru to survive he had to choose at the age of just 8 and sadly he had to work for a system that kills people that get to over powered and it was up to him to kill them without a trace.
but what do you think his biggest obstacle was to overcome, but i agree on your thoughts of the book being action packed and how weird and sad the background is.
Grogan Kraus, 2nd Hour Scheller: I think the most important conflict is with Sam. She had been lying to Boy Nobody since the beginning and has been deceiving him the entire time. Before that was revealed, they both had feelings for each other. What makes this conflict more appealing to read about is that Boy Nobody probably would not have killed Sam if he never found out about her reporting to The Presence. It still seems odd how the Program randomly switched targets in the middle of a high profile assignment. Overall, it was a great story with a nice balance of characters and plot development.
Chas Hoskins, Mrs. Sheller 4th hour Why do you think this is the main conflict in the book? How does he overcome this conflict with Sam? Do you think Boy Nobody will keep on killing and assassinating people? Why do you think the program switched targets, and also made the due date short?
Mrs Sheller (Alex Zorn) hr2 In the book I Am The Weapon the main character the book is great at giving lots of imagery and you can not only know how the characters feel based on what they say but as they are described, wich includes how the main character feels when he knows he has to kill the father of a girl he more or less likes. he is intent on completing his mission but is questioning why its really needed. so he has to try and overcome his curiosity and pull through wich eventually will kinda bite him later. but back to the point he is torn between doing what he wants and what he "HAS" to do.
Mrs.scheller 3rd hour, cole schneider. I think the most important conflict in our book our book is when boy nobody kills sam. Boy nobody really likes sam but he is running out of tiem to complete his mission. He thinks sam is a nice person and isnt guilty.I think this reaction is important to the plot because boy might break his trust with the program. Also boy had been controlled by mother and father since he was only 12 years old.My reaction was a a little shocked because his to his missions very seriously, and was always not trying to get involved with others and always trying to lay on the low.
Spencer Stephenson, Sheller, 3rd I disagree with you about Boy Nobody not feeling guilty about Sam because he is starting to gain feelings for her and is starting to trust her. This will most likely bring them really close together because he has never trusted and had feelings for one person before.
melisa leon scheller 4th i disagree.by the time boy nobody kills her he knows for certain that she is quikty of exposing home land security secrets to her foreign bf through a blog she forced her father to make, i also wasnt shicked at all even tho he thought she was nice he is trained to do ehats necessary and killing her was just that.
Spencer Stephenson, Sheller, 2nd I think the main conflict in this book is the fact that Boy Nobody has never felt anything for anyone but now that he has met Sam he is starting to have feelings for her. This is causing problems in his mission and with the program. Boy Nobody wont be able to go on any more missions and the program wont need him anymore.
i disagree, i think the fact that hes never felt anything is part of the reason his job comes naturally and yeah he does a bad thing but the real conflict is what those people do to get on such a list or radar to be dead.dont you think his job would be impossible with emotions like guilt love and stuff like morals?
Do you think that he will tell sam about the past. And what he has done with the program and the people he has killed. if so what do you think her reaction will be?
Alex Williams Sheller 3rd The main conflict in the book was when he had to kill Sam, because he had feeling for her and he didn't want to kill her. This caused a problem because his task was to kill Sam and that's all he is supposed to do is follow his tasks, and his feeling made it hard to follow through with it. I thought that Zach was going to only put Sam in a coma and save her later but when he killed her I thought that he was going to run away from the program but, now Zach wants to take down the program.
Chas Hoskins, Mrs. Sheller, 4th hour Out of all the conflicts in this book why would you choose this one? How do you know that they both had feeling for each other? Maybe Sam could of been faking because she knew that Boy was a spy. Even if Sam did survive someone from the program could of been there watching his every move and seeing if he is loyal.
Chas Hoskins, Mrs. Sheller, 4th hour I think the main conflict in I am The Weapon is that Boy Nobody's life. His whole life he is supposed to be an assassin and kill important peoples lives. He realizes this when he is on the mission where he has to kill the mayor when he had to kill that Chinese person in the beginning of the book. He doesn't want to live like this but Mike had put him in this situation(or it could have been his dad who did). This is important to the plot because if there was no assassin in this book or no Boy Nobody then there really isn't a plot. I think its sad that he has to live like this for the rest of his life. He is basically a slave to the program, and it's because Mother saw potential in him. I react this way because it's not right to go around killing people as a job.

I think Boy nobody is actually a really nice, and smart, and funny kid but since he has now joined the organization he isn't allowed to be himself, he has to go and screw up a family and then vanish into thin air. I think that Boy Nobody actually doesnt like what he is doing and i think you can really tell that now with his new assignment with sam and the mayor that he doesnt really want to be apart of this and hes only doing it to stay alive. I think to fix this he should stand up for himself and not be afraid to leave this organization, i think it will be tough but i think that he is smart enough to do it.

DeleteI think that Boy Nobody knows that no one is innocent. He knows that the Program chooses people that are not innocent. That gives him the motivation to do his assignments. I do think that he can not leave the Program. The Program knows a lot about him. The Program trained him. They know his weaknesses.

ReplyDeleteThe action that Boy Nobody does that I disagree is not using his chance to kill the mayor. His mission is to kill the mayor. He had 2 chances to kill the mayor but he did not take the chance. The character is acting this way because of Sam. He has feelings for her. The mayor is Sam´s father.Killing the mayor will affect Sam. The thing I see wrong with this is he can just move on after killing mayor. He can forget it. The preferable response I suggest is to kill the mayor at the first chance. It is easier to do it as earlier as possible. As the mission goes longer, feelings will start forming.
i agree when u say that he has had 2 chances to kill the mayor and he should have no problem doing it but i also disagree because in both instances it would have been impossible fro him to leave the area without being killed, the security alone would have known it was him and killed him instantly i think he needs to find a time where security is low and it looks like a completely natural death.
Deleteso boy nobody is at this new school and he wants to keep a low profile right, but then he goes off and gets invited to a party like if i was a contract killer i would make friends to not be like an outcast and look suspicious but to go to a party i do not know maybe it was a good idea but honestly i would not have went but that just me
ReplyDeleteRylie Montgomery, Mrs.schellar, 1st hour
DeleteI get what your saying but dont you think that not going to the party would have been a little more suspicious than going especially since they are all teenagers it seems more common to say yes also it helped boy nobody meet the mayor and get to know him a little bit i also think it was a good idea for him to go because i think this really was his turning point and him getting real feelings since he had that chance to kill the mayor but he didn't.

ReplyDeleteSetting of this amazing book is incredible.In this book has got to be one of the best so far from the couple chapters i have read it already has me hooked to find what happens next.It is amazing how a sixteen year old can do so much at his age and still be brave and fearless of his actions he doe's in this book.to know a little of his past you can tell he had no choice but at the same time he also was to young to decide to know what choice to take.
why do u think that Guy does all the assassinations and not think about other way to solve his problems
Deletetristin hartupee
Deletein what way do you think he had no choice on becoming a hit man he could habe ran away or got trained and killed the people who made him do all the stuff hes doing
Alex Garcia Mrs.scheller 1st hour:
DeleteI disagree he had no choice but now that he is older he can choose to leave and hide under the radar.!!
Grogan Kraus, Scheller: 4th hour
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to Boy Nobody's actions, most are from a tactical and assassin standpoint. He thinks of striking distance, and how many people hes against. He also can read other peoples facial expressions to see if they were lying. He strategy more than anything. Later in the book he seems to hesitate more often. He hesitates on multiple occasions to kill his target and does not know why. One of the main reasons that this could be happening for is because of Sam. He continues to flirt with her to get closer to his target. He probably does not realize that it is working, but for both of them. Since he could be developing feelings for Sam he hesitates when killing her father. He could also feel guilty for doing it because he learns about Sam's mother. From here he has two options, to not kill Sam's father, probably be with her, but face The Program's consequences. Or he could be stone cold, kill Sam's father, break her heart, and be rewarded by The Program for his biggest and fastest mission.

ReplyDeleteThe 16 year kid that trace down, and learns about his victim so this unknown teenage boy can end up killing his prey. I think the way he acts or the way he is because he might possibly have sort of agreement or in this nation secret society that trains him to be a train hit man killer seine he was a minor.What i see wrong another hit man or somebody else might pick up strange behavior because the way hes acting towards the outside society.
tristin hartupee
Deletei do not think the way he acts is bad but i also do not know what page your on but he dose not really engage to people the way sombody will he usally lets them talk to him first and then he makes them gain his trust so i do not think that people will pick up on strange behavior
Spencer Stephenson,Scheller:4th hour
ReplyDeleteThe fact that boy nobody is randomly killing people for reasons that he is unaware of is definitely something I wouldn't do. Before you decide to assassinate somebody you should at least know why your doing it. Boy nobody is thinking this way because his father was killed right in front by the people who now own him that he calls mother and father and he just does whatever they say. The reason that i wouldn't do this is that if I'm going to assassinate someone then I'm going to have a reason for it, so he could at least ask why the program wants all these people dead.
Chas Hoskins, Mrs. Scheller:4th hour
DeleteI don't think that Boy Nobody is randomly killing people. He is assigned to do this job so that he can live. Its the only thing he can do. He was put in this situation by Mother and Father. I think that's the only way he is going to get out of it.
Grogan Kraus, Scheller: 2nd hour
DeleteHe isnt killing people, he is killing people he is assigned to and anybody else that could or got in his way. Like he thought of killing Howard, and the bodyguards because of a potential threat.
Alex Williams Scheller 4th
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with Zack Abram's values which are he kills people and thinks that they did it to themselves and doesn't feel when he kills. The reason that he is acting this way is because he was trained to follow orders and nothing else and how not to feel when he kills. I see Zach's "job" is wrong because even though he is killing people because they are corrupt he is taking people away from their families. I would suggest that he could take down The Program and the people they associate with to stop them from killing other people.
Shem De Leon - Ms. Scheller - 1
DeleteI also disagree with Zack's values but he also knows that the Program only people that are not innocent. Zack also thinks that killing a person in the family is for the greater good of the family. I do not know what is actual purpose of the Program. I think that eventually, Zack will take down the program.
Chas Hoskins, Mrs. Scheller:4th hour
ReplyDeleteI don't like how Mother and Father have been controlling Boy Nobody's life since he was 12 years old. He was barely a teen before they sent Mike on a mission to kill Boy Nobody's parents. Then they're going to train him to be an assassin and kill all these people for "The Program". I don't know why Mother and Father are doing this, but I will most like find out if I keep reading the book. I think Mother and Father are acting like this because they are assigned to by the government or someone that is above the law. I cant really tell the answer to the question either yet. I think Mother and Father are totally wrong for this because they just ruined a kids entire life in an instant. I think that Mother and Father should shut this whole entire program thing down and get arrest for there actions.
Rylie Montgomery, 1st hour, Mrs. schellar
DeleteI totally agree with you, i really do wonder why Zach nor mike have never either accidently said something to someone and it get brought to the police or they have never just gone themsleves to the police. I also wonder how no one has ever become suspicious of them (besides howard) on whether or not they killed the person who died, like maybe at first if this happened to me i wouldnt think of them at all but after them just randomly disappearing right after a unexpected death i would think that its kinda suspicious and not normal.
melisa leon-ornelas, scheller 4th
ReplyDeletei disagree with the way sam acts.i thinks shes constantly thinking everyone is lying to her just by the way she reads them and you would think she would tell the truth all the time but no she is the one who lies to everyone all the time and can never really be genuine, this became alot more clear to me when ben found out that shes been exposing american secrets to the world through her fathers blog. it makes me very upset because ben cant say anything to her without her doubting it but she flat out lies and gets away with it
Chas Hoskins, Mrs.Sheller: 4th hour
DeleteHave you every thought that maybe she was trained to tell if someone is lying? She has a Mayor as a father and a soldier as a ex boyfriend. I think that there is a lot of stuff we don't kn ow about Sam.
Grogan Kraus Scheller: 2nd Hour
DeleteI mean yeah she could be trained on lie detecting, but isn't it weird that she dated a soldier when she was younger then she was now? And why did she wait so long to confront him from being back in town.
tristin hartupee
ReplyDeletein my opinion the most important conflict is when he is at the party with the mayor and he is about ti kill him but he dose not and he is getting closer to all the people around him i think this will have a big impact on the rest of the book but it may not i guess we will never know till i read on. he is getting pretty close to sam i think she may make a big impact on the rest of the book.
Alex Garcia Mrs.scheller 1st hour:
DeleteI disagree because he wants freedom and he did not want to kill for living but he was a little boy when he had to choose he had no idea what he was getting him self into
Rylie Montgomery, 3rd hour, Mrs schellar
ReplyDeleteI think that the most important conflict of the book is definitely the conflict between Zach and Mother. The conflict where mother told zach in the middle of his assignment that she wants to change it and doesnt want him to kill the mayor she wants him to kill sam. I think that this really was a turning point for him he started having feelings. Zach also even hesitated for a second before killing sam he started having these thoughts on well maybe i should let her go or maybe i should kill myself instead and let her go. He really showed feelings for her.
Shem De Leon - Ms. Scheller - 1
DeleteThe mother is not the actual mother of Zach. I think that Zach already had feelings before the mission changed target. On the ending, I really did not think that Zach would kill Sam. Zach was forced to kill Sam and stay another day. Which I think will make Zach very sad and be against the Program.
Shem De Leon - Ms. Scheller - 1
ReplyDeleteI think the most important conflict in the book is killing Sam. There are few reasons why I think killing Sam is the most important conflict. The first is that Boy Nobody has one day left to do the mission. The second reason is Boy Nobody loves Sam. The third reason is Boy Nobody thinks Sam is innocent. The Program only targets people who are not innocent ,but Boy Nobody thinks Sam is innocent. This conflict is important because it shows whether Boy Nobody is loyal or not loyal to the Program. My reaction to the conflict was shocked. I did not know that the Program can change target during the mission.
I agree with the fact that sam is one of the major conflicts , but do you think the program could have made a mistake and sam really is innocent. Or they did it on purpose just to test to see if boy is still loyal to the program?

ReplyDeleteAlex Garcia Mrs.scheller 2nd hour:
ReplyDeleteI cannot explain how great this book is the ammount of drama and action is just incredible and how the author explains every detail in little by little the fact that u can put a image of whats happening when u read it and how it can really show a moving image in your head and u can really see it if you are really interested in the book.The author is very great at putting a image in your head of whats happening in the story and the incredible action your reading is just fascinating.The character its self has such an amazing background and how it all began for him and the things he had to go thru to survive he had to choose at the age of just 8 and sadly he had to work for a system that kills people that get to over powered and it was up to him to kill them without a trace.
but what do you think his biggest obstacle was to overcome, but i agree on your thoughts of the book being action packed and how weird and sad the background is.
DeleteGrogan Kraus, 2nd Hour Scheller:
ReplyDeleteI think the most important conflict is with Sam. She had been lying to Boy Nobody since the beginning and has been deceiving him the entire time. Before that was revealed, they both had feelings for each other. What makes this conflict more appealing to read about is that Boy Nobody probably would not have killed Sam if he never found out about her reporting to The Presence. It still seems odd how the Program randomly switched targets in the middle of a high profile assignment. Overall, it was a great story with a nice balance of characters and plot development.
Chas Hoskins, Mrs. Sheller 4th hour
DeleteWhy do you think this is the main conflict in the book? How does he overcome this conflict with Sam? Do you think Boy Nobody will keep on killing and assassinating people?
Why do you think the program switched targets, and also made the due date short?
Mrs Sheller (Alex Zorn) hr2
ReplyDeleteIn the book I Am The Weapon the main character the book is great at giving lots of imagery and you can not only know how the characters feel based on what they say but as they are described, wich includes how the main character feels when he knows he has to kill the father of a girl he more or less likes. he is intent on completing his mission but is questioning why its really needed. so he has to try and overcome his curiosity and pull through wich eventually will kinda bite him later. but back to the point he is torn between doing what he wants and what he "HAS" to do.
Mrs.scheller 3rd hour, cole schneider.
ReplyDeleteI think the most important conflict in our book our book is when boy nobody kills sam. Boy nobody really likes sam but he is running out of tiem to complete his mission. He thinks sam is a nice person and isnt guilty.I think this reaction is important to the plot because boy might break his trust with the program. Also boy had been controlled by mother and father since he was only 12 years old.My reaction was a a little shocked because his to his missions very seriously, and was always not trying to get involved with others and always trying to lay on the low.
Spencer Stephenson, Sheller, 3rd
DeleteI disagree with you about Boy Nobody not feeling guilty about Sam because he is starting to gain feelings for her and is starting to trust her. This will most likely bring them really close together because he has never trusted and had feelings for one person before.
melisa leon scheller 4th
Deletei disagree.by the time boy nobody kills her he knows for certain that she is quikty of exposing home land security secrets to her foreign bf through a blog she forced her father to make, i also wasnt shicked at all even tho he thought she was nice he is trained to do ehats necessary and killing her was just that.
Spencer Stephenson, Sheller, 2nd
ReplyDeleteI think the main conflict in this book is the fact that Boy Nobody has never felt anything for anyone but now that he has met Sam he is starting to have feelings for her. This is causing problems in his mission and with the program. Boy Nobody wont be able to go on any more missions and the program wont need him anymore.
i disagree, i think the fact that hes never felt anything is part of the reason his job comes naturally and yeah he does a bad thing but the real conflict is what those people do to get on such a list or radar to be dead.dont you think his job would be impossible with emotions like guilt love and stuff like morals?
DeleteZach doesn't not feel for anyone because he has feeling for Sam, but he only doesn't feel when he is killing or setting himself up for another task
DeleteDo you think that he will tell sam about the past. And what he has done with the program and the people he has killed. if so what do you think her reaction will be?
ReplyDeleteAlex Williams Sheller 3rd
ReplyDeleteThe main conflict in the book was when he had to kill Sam, because he had feeling for her and he didn't want to kill her.
This caused a problem because his task was to kill Sam and that's all he is supposed to do is follow his tasks, and his feeling made it hard to follow through with it. I thought that Zach was going to only put Sam in a coma and save her later but when he killed her I thought that he was going to run away from the program but, now Zach wants to take down the program.
Chas Hoskins, Mrs. Sheller, 4th hour
DeleteOut of all the conflicts in this book why would you choose this one? How do you know that they both had feeling for each other? Maybe Sam could of been faking because she knew that Boy was a spy. Even if Sam did survive someone from the program could of been there watching his every move and seeing if he is loyal.
Chas Hoskins, Mrs. Sheller, 4th hour
ReplyDeleteI think the main conflict in I am The Weapon is that Boy Nobody's life. His whole life he is supposed to be an assassin and kill important peoples lives. He realizes this when he is on the mission where he has to kill the mayor when he had to kill that Chinese person in the beginning of the book. He doesn't want to live like this but Mike had put him in this situation(or it could have been his dad who did). This is important to the plot because if there was no assassin in this book or no Boy Nobody then there really isn't a plot. I think its sad that he has to live like this for the rest of his life. He is basically a slave to the program, and it's because Mother saw potential in him. I react this way because it's not right to go around killing people as a job.
