Things Not Seen 3


1. Describe Bobby in this chapter. How would you feel if you saw him? Be specific about why you would feel certain emotions or get ideas about the situation. 

2. Would you have acted in any certain way given his appearance?

  1. I think if I was a stranger in Chicago I wouldnt be surprised if I saw him bundled up. Yet the sunglasses would be awkward. I also think that if I just saw him it would be a little sucpisious.

    2. I I saw him I think i would have just kept to my buisness.

  2. 1-Answer: Bobby was bundled up heavily so no one would see that he was invisible. I don't think that if I saw him I would think much except that he was cold like everyone else. Even with the sunglasses because snow can reflect light so much that it can burn your eyes. However if I had seen him with his scarf off, I probably would have been very scared to see him and worried that there was something wrong with me.

    2-Answer: If I had seen him bundled up I probably would have just kept walking, maybe saying hello if he was close enough. However if he had his scarf off I might have screamed but watched to see if I was dreaming or going crazy or not.

  5. Einstein was the greatest mind ever. But he was always late for stuff because he was crazy. But to think straight you have to be a little crazy. What would the world be today if Edison wasn't crazy enough to create the light bulb?

    1.If I had seen him all bundled up i would have kept to my buisness and went on my way. I would have felt like there are a couple weirdos in that town. but that would be okay.
    2. If I had saw him without his scarf with nothing there I would probably be like blinking alot, rubbing my eyes in disbelief, and going, "ah, ah, ah" you know like stammering for words.

    Griff-nice job tapping into what the girls were discussing and then answering the question at hand.

  7. I woud have just cocluded that he wasn't a cold liking person. It woudln't have been myu problem.
    2. i would just aknowledge him and move on. If he didn't have his scarf on I would just flinch a little and demand an explanation on the spot or I would threaten to hand hom over the cops.

  8. Bobby is very brave for going ouutside but since he went to the library he wasted his time.
    2 If I were invisible i would pull pranks on people.

  9. 1. Bobby is an invisible boy bundled up in warm clothes in Chicago. If I saw him, I would walk along like everyone else. Bobby is dressed the same way as the other people so he doesn't have any importance to me. He wouldn't catch my attention unless I saw that he had no face.

    2. If I saw Bobby bundled up I would have just kept walking possibly saying hello depending on the distance, but if I saw that Bobby had no visible features I would do a double-take and make sure I wasn't hallucinating.

  10. Jason,
    What parts of the question are you answering? I didn't read anything in your response that answered what would you do if you SAW Bobby not if you WERE Bobby.

  11. 1. Bobby is completely invisible because his body isn't reflecting light or something, so you can not see him but he is still solid. If he puts on clothes, you would see a walking bathrobe. If I could see him even though he is invisible, I at first thought I would be happy for him and I would want to be invisible, but when I think about it I feel sorry for him because it must not be fun to not be able to interact with other people.
    2. If I was given this appearance, I would make the best out of it. I would have fun walking around and sneaking into places like employee lounges.

  13. I think if I was a person who didn't know Bobby in Chicago I wouldnt be surprised if I saw him bundled up.The sunglasses might be awkward. I also think that if I just saw him it would be just a little odd.

    2. If I was in this scene and was Bobby I would play with peoples heads and make them think they are haunted and I would wear all kinds of clothes and then try to walk through a wall and make people paranoid.

  14. Courtney,

    How would you react if you saw he had no face??? Would you speak up or would you walk on by???
    Great entry and great question. How would you act if you got to be Bobby for three hours???

  15. Kaci,
    I would freak out if I saw a faceless boy. :O I wouldn't speak up about it because I wouldn't want people to think I was crazy. No one wants to be called crazy by a person they don't know.

    If I were Bobby for three hours, I would go to school and play pranks on the students and teachers. For example, make the pencil start floating or a paper.

  16. Jason,
    As said by your group I dont entirely get why going to the library was a wrong use fo Bobbys time?

  17. 1. I think that because of the weather in Chicago I wouldn't be suprised that he was so bundled up. If it was sunny then I wouldn't be shocked by the sun glasses, also he is a teenager so he might want to look cool by wearing them. The scarf around his face is a little too much though!!:) I would be pretty suspicious around him and probably wnat to try to steer clear of Bobby.
    2. I would not have acted any certain way towards Bobby, I wouldn't know him so I wouldn't have talked to him.

  18. Courtney,
    What about Bobby wearing these huge sunglasses when it is cold and not summer?

  19. 1.)I wouldn't be freaked out by him being bundled up. It's cold out and the sunglasses- they are supposed to be like sunblock for the eyes so I don't think that that would be freaky.
    2.)No I don't think I would have because I wouldn't just walk up to him and grimace at him.
