  1. Yes because that family has the same characteristics as the name they are give like the gold family has gold hair. The significance is it matches the family exactly.

  2. 1. I do not think it has a significance. I think it is just a way that Luke triese to have fun and pass the time. Already Luke does not talk about them as much. It seems to me that he just names them after what they seem to like. Such as the Sports family likes sports.

  3. Jason, I see your way also, I just lean more towards what I said. Is there anyway that it does not have a significance?

  4. 1. No, I don't think the names show any significance. I think Luke does that so he knows when he can leave his room and visit Jen. As Stephen said, it's only to match what they like.

  5. Stephen,
    I agree with you fully, but how does Luke have fun giving them names? Is it more for fun or safety?

  6. Luke has fun giving them names because he has nothing else to do. He doesn't have video games and he isn't aloud to go outside. The safety reason is also a good one. I never thought of that.

  7. 1. I think there is a significance of the names that Luke gives the houses, the names represent what either the house looks like or what the people inside it are like. For instance, the Sports Family has two boys who do football, the Birdbrain Family has a whole bunch of bird houses outside their house. Luke does not know the people's names that live in the housesso those are the names they go by for him.

  8. Courtney,
    What about the other houses besides Jen's house? How come he made names for the rest of the houses?

  9. Stephen, it might not because the family might have a stronger idea for their name

  10. I agree with Stephen when he said that the names didn't have any signifigance. I believe Luke was just trying to pass the time and have fun because being in your room all the time can really be boring!

  12. I believe the names do not have any significance as changing the story or having some part in the plot. However I do agree with Devon hoe they have some significance. He did not just make up random names. The names have to do with the people inside.

  13. I agree with everyone who said that the names have no significance. Though, I do agree Devon, the names he makes for the houses have some significance. The names aren't just for nothing. Its to give him understanding of how the people kinda are.
