Status Updates From Code Orange

Kid is literally talking about killing himself to save the world

I think I could do without the overly graph description of smallpox

I think that Mitty is going to turn himself in and not have smallpox

Far too much scab talk for my liking.

Great. The suspense is craazyyy

Honestly. Brother in law is in high school and said this was a really good read. This is the last time I take his opinion. This was only 190 pages and it took my 7 days because I was so fucking bored. Good rating is out of how well it was written.

Next Battle of the Books book - heard not great things so hope it’s decent

it is interesting

Great book to read as we are going through a new pandemic.

I started the book on Monday (just a note to self)

7th grade assigned reading with Hugo

prompt 9/24: i really like the characters that my author made and introduced because they seem to be around my age so i can relate to them more.

prompt 9/29: he create tension when Mitty find a book with a envelope and in the envelope is old smallpox scabs that disintegrate and he inhales the dust. This makes us wonder and think if Mitty will get smallpox.

prompt 9/18: The author introduces the character Mitty Blake by the teacher asking for an assignment and Mitty forgot about it and asks his friend about the assignment.

prompt 9/22: My character gets more involved in his project and starts to work on it more to get it done. The event that led to this is when he though of a girl he likes and how she is doing the project making him want to start it.

Kind of boring

Mitty is in honors biology and has a report due in 16 hours. He is just starting to work on it. In a book he has to read he found scabs saved in an envelope. He is wondering why the scabs are saved.

i hate this book

right now the book is just introducing us to our protaginist mitty

right now is the exposition and it is telling us about the protaginist

i dislike this book i dont know why i got it

This book took a HUGE turn in the time spans of, like, maybe 3 or 4 chapters.
I really like this book.
Not only is it gross, but it’s actually a really good book.

This book is really good...but super gross 🤮

This book is really good...but super gross 🤮

It’s good

This is really juvenile, more than I would expect from a book being set in high school. Not too sure about this writing style, either.

right now the three kids are dressing up like sciences so they can get into the library.

I’m marking Speak and Code of Orange as currently reading, because they are both super quick novels. Since I do not have electronics in my bedroom, I cannot add each one on its own after I finish one of the two, this is just easier in case I finish both, or finish one and start another etc. Hope this made since!!!

Am I supposed to feel sympathetic for this main character? Dude’s the laziest MC I have ever read. He has something not just against reading, but work in general. The least amount he can do, the better.

There’s also a LOT of telling-not-showing, and I just don’t care about a spoiled rich kid.

If anything, I’m more worried about the potential people he’s already infected.

Pretty well written. The book is so cool.

ever feel like you're waiting for someone to die

My book takes place in a presentday New York. This affects the plot because if Mitty was born out in a suburb in Texas, then he would have a different personality/ culture, and go to an entirely different school, maybe he would not have to write any essays, which is a large part of the plot. Also, he could have been born in the future, where he never wrote essays. Mitty maybe would have flied to school in the future.
