  1. Chapter 9 makes me feel curious. Because Mrs. Rudder thinks she is lying and its because of the stress and her imagination. This made my mood of the story change. Im curious of who is going to believe her or what the uncle is going to do.

  3. No, the mood of SKELETON MAN has not changed; it is still “SUSPICIOUS”. I say this because Molly is closer to finding out what happened to parents and she is curious about her so called Uncle. “But what I attracted my attention are the three small TV monitors on the shelf above the computer”, this quote proves suspicion because she is wondering why her Uncle would be watching her. If her Uncle is watching her, that would be creepy and, why? That is why the mood is still suspicious.

  4. The feeling that I have in this story is concerned.I say this because I am really concerned about whats going to happen next in the story and whats going to happen to the little girl.My mood didnt really change because now its really getting into the story and telling us whats going to happen but not yet.I say this because in the story is tells how the girl is talking to her teachers about whats going on and all of them thinks that she is lieing and needs help.One of the teachers that she know that can help her out with her problem.

  5. The story Skeleton Man make’s me feel worried not only because I’m curious about what’s going to happen next, but because I fear for her. Not only has he been locking her in her room, but he also has cameras in the house. Her dad has also told her before that her dreams are messages in away. She has been having dreams about her “uncle” telling her that he is not a human!

  6. The mood in chapter 9 was creepy and suspicious. The mood has had changed because in the being of the story it was confusing but now it’s creepy and suspicious. For an example “Live pictures from the hidden cameras trained on the front door, the back door, and the door to my room.” The reason why I say this is because why would he need cameras to keep an eye on her when she hasn’t done anything wrong. “Finally he snicks the lock and goes back downstairs.” The reason why I say this is because why is there a reason to lock up your niece at night for no reason.

  7. I think the mood got more suspenseful as it went on to chapter 9 and 10. I say that because in chapter 9 she found out that her uncle had cameras around the place. Now she is trying to find a way out of there! That’s why I think the mood is more suspenseful now.

  9. While reading the Skeleton key the mood that it is giving me is lost.In chapter 10 i'm thinking that she is talking to her to herself but she trying to dream. Also it is making me lost because it keeps on talking about one thing than it keeps going to something else. Finally i kind of like the story cause its a scary book but its a dumb one at that.

  10. I think the mood of chapter 9 is restless. I say this because when she found about the TV monitors that showed the front door, the back door, and the door to her room. So she was being watch and she didn’t even know. So she doesn’t even know if those are the only ones because he even might has some in the shed since is always there. So he might know how she puts the food in the trash instead of eating it.

  11. The mood chapters nine and ten give me is a cold, pensive, and tense. It makes me feel like that because in the book it talks about how her uncle sees her almost every move “…three small TV monitors…” which stuns her and she realizes that she been being watched over. Another thing that makes me feel that way is when she says “help me”. She was talking to herself and trying to go to bed so her dreams can give her a answer or help her understand what’s going on.

    The way the mood has changed was it came from being worried about her to being scared for her. In the beginning of the story it talks about how her parents where missing and she had to live with a man that says he’s her uncle but honestly she doesn’t even know who he is. Now she finds out that he is being video taped which is a scary thing to go through.

  12. Its changed, now the story has something that told you what the girl was feeling all along and she was right he was watching her. So I think the mood has change from suspencful to uneasy because of his wierdness.

  13. The mood has change after reading chapter 9 because as she was at her house coming back from school and her uncles study room door was open and she wanted to see what was inside the room. As she was walking towards the room she was walking slowly and quietly until she arrived at the room. When she went inside the room she saw her uncle inside the shed from the window and she was wondering what he was doing. Also while she was looking around the room she was stunned when she saw monitors that where monitoring her front door and the back door and also the front door. I think the mood of the story is frighten and mysterious.

  14. I think that the mood is scared and curious.
    I know that it is scared for the girl b/c she is
    Scared cause she don’t think its her "uncle" and
    That the “uncle” ain’t human . Just that the
    Bunny in her dream has told her .
    She is curious b/c she wants to know whats in
    The shed . also she wants to know why her “uncle”
    Was at the shed .
