Egg Monster from Mars

“Egg Monster from Mars” by R. L. Stine, in the book Dana went to Anne’s house and showed the egg creature to her.

“ Out,” Anna’s mom insisted. She held open the screen door for me. “Out. I mean it. I don’t want to have to wash the whole floor.” Anna’s mother was so angry that Dana brought an egg with sticky liquid. It dropped some goo in the kitchen. It also made Anna could not eat her breakfast anymore because it looked too disgusting.

I think Dana must felt very miserable. She did not want to drop the egg and make the floor dirty. She knew that was not polite to do especially when other people are eating. I remember when I was going my friend’s house, my mother always say do not go and visit during mealtime I might interrupt them.

So far, the egg was hatched. It did not look like chicken, it has no head. No face. Just two tiny black eyes near its top. The yellow blob throbbed and it made sick, wet sucking sound. Dana wanted to show her parents but they were not home only a letter from them. It said “Dad and I took Brandy to her piano lesson. Make yourself some cereal, M.”

It seems that you enjoy reading the book.

Yeah, I agree that people should not go into other's homes at the dinner time because it may disurb and it is so rude. We should not do that.

Now I know what came out of that egg--and it wasn't dinner! Speaking of dinner, why do you say it bad to visit a friend at dinnertime? Your comments make me think that American culture must be very different from Chinese or Japanese culture. In the book you are reading, did you encounter any differences?
