The Westing Game

POSTED AT 12:35 PM

In language arts we have been reading the Westing Game. At the beginning of the book, Ellen Raskin (the author) mentioned that there were specially selected tenants - mothers, fathers, and children. She noted that one was a doctor, another a dressmaker, a secretary, an inventor, and a judge. Lastly, she said that one was a bookie, one was a burglar, one was a bomber, and one was a mistake.

Who do you think the burglar is? Why?
Who do you think the bomber is? Why?
Who do you think is the mistake? Why?

When explaining why, please use evidence from the story or your notes.
