Egg Monster From Mars

Dana and Mr. Gray were in a freezer with the eggs. The door is electricity door Dona could not get out of the freezer because she does not have the controller. She is freezing with no help. “Step away from the door, Dana,” Dr. Gray ordered. “Try to calm down.” “You’ll be okay,” the scientist said. “I take very good care of my specimens.”

When I see the sentence I was kind of scared of Dr. Gray. I could not image that he was going to do such thing to the boy who is innocent. I feel sorry for Dana for staying in the freezer. His arms were so cold with no help and he could not keep himself warm. I think Dana is going to be killed by Dr. Gray but not the egg creature which came from Mars. It is terrible that the man did such thing to the boy and calling him specimen.

So far, from the last chapter the egg was around them with circle shape. Dr. Gray said that they make many kinds of shapes when they were around such as triangle, rectangle, and square. It does not mean they were trapped it can be kind of communicating to each other or shows that what did they see around them. Now, Dr. Gray left Dana in the freezer because he wanted to study Dana who had touched the egg. He was curious that does it cause any deceases or change on Dana. The door is locked and Dana is staying in the freezer with hopeless.

Tom, you should do less storytelling and more discussion. For example in Paragraph 2 you were dismayed that the man called the boy a "specimen." I think you felt he de-humanized him because we call animals and cells specimens, not people. I want you to think about the implications of this. Do you think it makes it easier to hurt another person if you think of them as a specimen?
