Melvin teaches Ellie about the possible. What things would you want to make possible?
-I want to save polar bears from melting. I don't want them to drown.
-China closes its factories since there is so much pollution. Really bad air pollution. If you blow your nose after working in a factory, the Kleenex will be covered in black.
-I would make a cure for cancer.
-I would save the world.
-I want to end world hunger.
-I would save the trees for the oxygen. By saving the trees, you would also save people from world hunger because food grows on trees. You wouldn't have fruit that grows on trees.
-I want extinct animals to come back.
-I would want to solve a problem for digital books. There would be a special tablet that you would get, read and then reach your hand into the tablet and then pull the thing out. It could be anything.
-Find aliens.
-Faster than light travel. Explore space. Find aliens that have been hiding for years.
-A cure for sick animals so that cats, dogs and fish can tell you what is wrong with them.
-A cure for Ebola.
-Stop homework. Save the kids.
-If you have a pet, it would never die.
-Time travel.
-Save the endangered animals.
-Stop water pollution.
-Find something that you can spray on your socks and make them not stinky.

Would you want to stay young forever? Would you want to stay one age forever? Why or why not?
-I would not want to stay one age forever or stay young forever. There is no point in that. Everyone has to die. It is defying the circle of life.
-Reincarnation would not happen.
-I wouldn't because it would be endless and you might get bored of it.
-I would not want to have eternal youth because you would never grow up and get to boss your kids around.
-I would and would not want to stay young forever. I would be 10 years old for 3 human years and then I'd age.
-I would get older, then younger, then older.
-I wouldn't want to do that because I would live my life over and over again so it would be really confusing.
-I wouldn't want to be young forever. Then I would never have a family and boss people around.
-I would not like to live forever.
-I would want to age but not die. I want to get older and older but never die. I want the knowledge of age and then go back to 10 years old and then repeat.
-I would like to be able to die at some point if I got really bored with my life. I want to be able to change my physical appearance and age as long as I've already reached that age and appearance.

For Book Club in January, we will be reading El Deafo by Cece Bell
"Going to school and making new friends can be tough. But going to school and making new friends while wearing a bulky hearing aid strapped to your chest? That requires superpowers! In this funny, poignant graphic novel memoir, author/illustrator Cece Bell chronicles her hearing loss at a young age and her subsequent experiences with the Phonic Ear, a very powerful--and very awkward--hearing aid. The Phonic Ear gives Cece the ability to hear--sometimes things she shouldn't--but also isolates her from her classmates. She really just wants to fit in and find a true friend, someone who appreciates her as she is. After some trouble, she is finally able to harness the power of the Phonic Ear and become "El Deafo, Listener for All." And more importantly, declare a place for herself in the world and find the friend she's longed for.
