The laughing man knows because the laughing man is the older version of Markas and Markas is the one who punched Sal when Marcas was little so he will have to time travel back and save Sal .
ReplyDeleteMarkas sees the laughing man die because Markas is actually going to die in his older version and come and save Sal when he is the young Markas .
Markas and the laughing man are going to affect the story because Marks and the laughing man will always time travel backwards and forwards and affect the story .
My description of Markas is he is feeling sad that he punched Sal when he was young after he thought about it he is going to try to go back in time and fix it all and think that never happened .

How does the Laughing Man know that Sal will die unless he saves him?
ReplyDeleteThe laughing man is a time traveler and he's from the future so he knows what happens and he comes back to try and save Sal.
Why does Markus make the choice to come back and save Sal even though Markus sees the Laughing Man die?
Markus is the laughing man and his whole life he felt guilty and thinks it was his fault that Sal died because he was running away from markus which caused Sal to go on the road, and that's why Markus came back and saved Sal because he felt guilt.
Would you change any of the choices that Markus/The Laughing Man made and how would this affect the story?
No i would not change the choices Markus made because it would kind of ruin the story and the plot.
Given that you know Markus comes back to save Sal, how would you describe his personality and character?
I feel that what he did was a very nice thing to do even though he knows how he will die and he killed himself for Sal because he grew up knowing and thinking it was his fault that Sal would have died and Markus is a really kind young boy plus a very a smart kid.

Here are some facts we know from When You Reach Me:
ReplyDeleteThe notes from the Laughing Man suggest Sal will die unless he saves him.
Markus notices that Laughing Man always avoids him, running away quickly.
Markus punched Sal because of something his brother said.
In your opinion:
I think the Laughing Man knows Sal will die unless he saves him because he has already seen Sal die when he was known as Markus.
I think Markus comes back to save Sal because he’s felt is entire life guilty for punching Sal so he tries to make amends.
I don’t think I would but if I had to, I would stop Markus from punching Sal. That would ruin the entire storyline because then Sal wouldn’t be afraid of Markus and there would be no climax.
I would probably describe his personality as ever-changing. One day he is confused, the other day he is crazy.

The Laughing Man knows Sal will die unless he saves him because he is from the future and he has already seen what happened.
ReplyDeleteMarkus made the choice to come back because he felt guilty because he thinks it’s his fault that Sal died.
I wouldn’t change anything that Markus/The Laughing Man did because I feel like I wouldn’t make the best decisions.
I think that Markus is brave and selfless because he needs to be pretty selfless to go sacrifice himself for somebody he wasn’t extremely close with.
