Masterminds Gordon Korman Analysis
I am reading Masterminds by Gordon Korman. From where we left off, Eli was in the Serenity hospital, recovering from his accident. In the following chapter, the perspective changed, to Amber Laska. She is writing down her priorities. In her list of priorities, she writes about herself and Tori having a sleepover. Based on this information, I infer that Tori is Amber’s best friend.
Apparently, Randy is leaving the city! Imagine how that would feel for Eli!!! Everyone in Serenity loves where they live, well… mostly everyone. You will be very surprised to know that only 185 people live in Serenity!! Everyone knows each other well, except the Purple People Eaters (all the kids in town calls them that, but actually they are called the “Surety.”) …show more content…
“They gave it to me.”
“When was this?” my father probes.
“A pretty long time ago.”
My parents gave me a meaningful look. I’m thinking: Are they mad at me? I never actually lied, but it’s pretty obvious that I didn’t go out of my way to tell them about it.
But no. Mom’s not angry, just interested Well, did you learn anything from it?
I nod. “I learned how lucky we are to live in Serenity.”
One say, my newspaper was gone from its hiding spot. Weird-for four months I’ve kept that paper hidden.And now that I’m finally ready to show it to Tori, it turns out I lost it. How careless can I get?
In the next chapter, Malik Bruder is someone that really wants to get out of town and move to NYC. In the chapter he blabbers on about NYC and about how boring Serenity is. Instead of calling it Serenity, he calls it “Happy Valley”. Based on this information, I infer that he hates Serenity and that he is being sarcastic as “Happy Valley” and the hatred for Serenity don’t go along very well. One day, Hector Amani, a boy that really thinks he is best friends with Malik, got a new skateboard. But, Malik thinks he’s kind of a wimp even though he is like any other boy. He wanted to show the skateboard and to display its “awesomeness” to Malik/his best friend. So Malik decided to challenge him to a hard obstacle course through the hardest streets in town - rough road surfaces, speed bumps and sewer
