  3. I predict that The Dark Thing is a huge monster because on page 81 Calvin said that it's a sort of a shadow so it must a monster because a shadow needs a source to block light.

    1. It also said that it was what Father was fighting so I totally agree that it might be a huge monster

    2. Do you think a monster can cover the whole earth? Look back at the description of what earth looked like...

      Delete
    3. The Earth looked small, and also it's fiction so anything can happen.

    1. How do you think Father is fighting The Dark Thing?

      Delete
    2. I think Father is fighting this shadow with something that he invented or something that has to do with the tesseract.

      Delete
    3. I think how he is fighting the Dark Thing is that he probably somehow has the tesseract and is using that by taking it's energy to try to even up with the Dark thing.

      Delete
    4. From the list of Dark Thing-fighters on page 101, I would expect Father is fighting the Dark Thing by being creative somehow, doing some sort of art or good deeds or other creative work.

  9. I predict that the dark shadow thing might be what Mr. Murry is researching. The black thing on the 5th Dimension and that Mr. Murry got lost in space and never got to came back. That is why the people in Washington D.C. said that he was on a mission and couldn't be talked to.

  10. I can predict that they will meet the Mrs friend and he/she will give them important information on finding their father.Because on page 92 in the text it says the Mrs are taking them to meet the friend.

    1. Based on the text, what type of information might she give?

      Delete
    2. I think from the text she might be a little loopy like the Mrs. so she may give them a ominous detail to help solve their problems.

      Delete
  11. I can predict that there are others helping father fight the dark thing because on page 101 the kids list off people they think are fighting the dark thing.Father is fighting the dark thing.

    3. As far as I can tell, the book never explains the relationship between IT and the Dark Thing. So it is easy to con-fuse them (fuse them together)

  16. I predict they will eventually find father defeat the dark thing.I also think Charles is leading them on because something in my soul tells me that.But,I do have one question why didn't they just defeat or go for the dark thing when they had the chance.And they could have done that because one of the Mrs said they were visiting the planets to be prepared for the dark thing.

    1. N'Deya, I think it is not just something in your soul telling you something is different about Charles. What text evidence gives you some clues?

    2. Well he seems kind of shady and having bad things happen to them and when the bad things happen he's there to kinda scare them even more.
