  1. 1. Wow, LOADED question! I can see how he was being really harsh, but I think he is weeding out those who are not "field agent" material. I think I'd cry!

    2. Oh, I certainly did not think so...until the videos came on! Then it just got scary, but I was definitely suspicious if it had been "faked."

    3. I think Cammie was weirded out, and as the story progresses, I think it's just that the girls aren't used to anything non-GG. And boys are definitely non-GG :)

    4. About her friends being captured? If it had been a real mission, I would have definitely been torn - first, I'd carry out the mission, but then I'd go back and rescue my friends!

    5. I don't know. I think some will hate him, some will think it was totally necessary (and therefore, crush on him even more!). But they will totally be on their toes in CoveOp class! As for Mr. Smith, I'm not sure what they'll think of him...

    6. I think they'll be gung-ho to prove themselves to Mr. Solomon now and try not to get captured! I wish there had been more debriefing about the mission!

    7. Perhaps he's in looooooooove! ;) No, I think he was just lucky and spotted something unusual going on. I'm sure Mr. Smith would have noticed a girl retrieving his drink...

    8. To get them to take GG more seriously and test their mettle! Make them think harder about being a spy.

  2. 1. Mr. Solomon handled the situation just right for his character. He needed to make a point.

    2. I didn't think anything bad really had happened to Bex & Liz. Because after all, the situation was school-related.

    3. I think Cammie wasn't sure herself of what she thought and felt about Josh. She was experiencing the flickers of love.

    4. If you were Cammie, I probably would have done the same.

    5. I think the situation puts the girls more on alert.

    6. I think the girls will be more eager to prove themselves in future CoveOps.

    7. Josh that he noticing Cammie was a soul mate kinda thing. The attraction was just there.

    8. I think Mr. Solomon's motivation was to emphasize how serious things are.

  3. Great questions Katie. I'll answer them over the weekend when I've more time. =)

    1) I am just suspicious of Joe because his so unpredictable. I just don't like him. :/

  4. 1. I think he was too harsh and I didn't quite understand his purpose of scaring Cammie. Is he trying to scold her for losing her teammates?

    2. Yes I was afraid for them. :/

    3. I guess she was afraid on how her friends would react and her spilling her name to him.

    4. I'm not sure which situation but the one about telling her friends about Josh? I'd probably keep quiet too.

    5. I guess it makes Cammie not like him more? Don't think it changes their opinion of Smith.

    6. Maybe they would try to prove that he shouldn't look down on them and succeed in the next mission.

    7. I think he could just happen to look her way.

    8. Blah I don't know. :|

  5. 1) I think he did well. After all he is there to train them to face anything that comes their way. He just wants to show them that if they can't face things like this they shouldn't be field agents.

    2)No as they did leave with Mr Smith but before I remembered that fact I did think for a second that somethin had happended

    3)Perhaps since everyone knows all about her life story at school. Like how her dad didn't return from a mission that she wanted to keep something private. Something she only knew, and it was special to her to be noticed by a boy and be normal

    4) I would have carried on with the mission then go and rescue them

    5) I think the girls will have a more realistic view to what there commiting their life to. Before this I think they were just thinking how cool it was to be a spy. They new the negatives to beiong a spy but it hadn't really sunken in until that point. I think the girls will have bit more respect for him.

    6)More eager

    7)She may have just cathed his eye. I don't know though its a mystery

    8)Like I mentioned before to make them more aware of what they are getting into

  6. 1. Do you think Mr. Solomon handled the situation well or was he too harsh?I think he handled it well. They're learning how to stay alive and whole out there!

    2. Did you think something bad really had happened to Bex & Liz? No.

    3. Why do you think Cammie didn't tell even her best friends about Josh? 'cause he noticed her and she's still processing it.

    4. If you were Cammie, what would you have done in her situation? probably the same thing Cammie did... the ? is kinda vague.

    5. How do you think this experience will effect the girls' and Mr. Solomon's relationship? What about Mr. Smith? I think that they'll learn to trust him and what he's teaching them more. He's teaching them this stuff because he wants them to stay alive.

    6. Do you think the girls will be a little ginshy or more eager to prove themselves in future CoveOps classes? No.

    7. What do you think it says about Josh that he noticed Cammie when even paranoid Mr. Smith overlooked her? Maybe he's a spy too... oooo... or maybe Cammie's just his type.

    8. What was Mr. Solomon's motivation in scaring the girls like that? To make them learn to be better and hone their skills.
