DeleteThe reason I think Arturo likes Carmen is because when Arturo talks to Carmen or when Carmen double kisses Arturo the story said," I felt a burning in my stomach,like a pot of oil was slowly starting to bubble inside. It.Was.Weird."
Jasmine-Palmer Arturo's felling's about Carmen had changed since the last time he saw her .He felt like she looked older than she used to .She was not the mutant-fast cheetah girl he used to play with she kissed him on the cheek and had bubbles in his stomach .
ReplyDeleteLiliana-Palmer-The book said"Carmen came into the door and Arturo's mom pushed Carmen into Arturo but then right there Arturo was thinking back to the past when they were kids he thought everything about Carmen changed like when they were kids doing their own little things but then Carmen came through the door and doubled kissed Arturo."
ReplyDeleteCorvin Palmer Arturo now feels like she is more mature and now he likes her!!!💘😳

Rylee-Palmer
ReplyDeleteWhen Arturo saw Carmen again he kind of got a boiling feeling in his stomach.
This was not the lanky,mutant-fast cheetah girl I used to play tag with years ago... Then, without warning, she grabbed my shoulders and double kissed me.😯
That was some evidence about what I said.

ReplyDeleteNice

Billy-Palmer Arturo's feelings have changed Carmen was tall,colorful,braces, her hair was long Arturo was blushing and he might like Carmen now because he felt like a pot of oil was slowly starting to bubble after Carmen kissed Arturo's cheek
ReplyDeleteClarence Mcpherson,from Palmer Elementary. So from the sentence ''When she double kissed,me on each cheek I felt a burning in my stomach,like a pot of oil was slowly starting starting to bubble.'' from that we know Arturo has some feelings for her we can also tell he was nervous or in love but if we read later on in the book we can see it's love ❤:)
ReplyDeletezakari@palmer How Arturo feelings have changed since they were 8 was when Arturo sees Carmen, Arturo gets a bubbly feeling and boiling in his stomach.On the bottom of page 7, it says "This was not the lanky,mutant-fast cheetah girl I used to play tag with years ago.Carmen had changed". Arturo lied to Carmen to try to impress her. He used to like her as a friend now he wants her as an soul mate.
ReplyDeleteNice(;
DeleteMARTESE-SWCC I think the same thing
DeleteKevin@Palmer Arturo's feelings have changed for Carmen because he sees Carmen more than just a friend,he sees her as a soul mate or a girlfriend. Because on page 13 it says "He peeked out the corner of his eye to look at Carmen."

Candis@Palmer Arturo's feelings for Carmen has changed since he last saw her because when they were little he looked at her like she was a friend to him and now he looks at her like a girlfriend or a soulmate to him. When Carmen gave him a kiss on the cheek, he became frozen. And on page 8 Arturo said Carmen looked more mature with colorful braces. I think this means that he likes Carmen.
ReplyDeleteReponse-Palmer Arturo's feelings has changed because when they were kids he used to see her as a friend now he sees her as a soulmate. On page 13 " When Abuela lifted her head to indicate she was finished praying she caught me looking over at Carmen who had just opened her eyes and was looking back at me.

Eternity@Palmer Arturo's feelings changed for Carmen since they were little because Arturo used to be close and just friends. Now he thinks Carmen is wonderful and independent. I support this by saying Arturo is interested by having a girl around and that Carmen gave Arturo a kiss on the cheek when Carmen turned to leave. (Page 35)
ReplyDeletekayden@Palmer Arturo's feelings have changed because he used to see her as a friend but now he thinks of her as a soulmate or girlfriend. On page 31 it says "maybe my greeting was a little to enthusiastic because she got all wide-eyed".I think they like each other.

Jaizear@The Mulick Park School-
ReplyDeleteArturo's feelings changed about Carmen because Arturo said that Carmen changed and now Arturo starts to blush and feel weird around Carmen like when she double kissed him at the restaurant and when she showed up to Arturo's house in her disguise. I found my answer on pages 8 and 61. This means Arturo's feelings changed about Carmen since he last saw her.
Logan@SWCC Arturos feelings changed when Carmen grabed his shoulder and kissed him on both sides of his cheeks and it felt really wierd to him😘😯

ReplyDeleteAngelita-SWCC
ReplyDeleteArturo's feelings changed since he last saw Carmen and maybe he wants to be more than a friend. "He peeked to his left to look at Carmen" on page 13.
Ali@ The Mulick Park -
ReplyDeleteArturo's feelings changed about Carmen from the last time he saw Carmen by Arturo feeling shy and nervous when he is around her because the last time he saw her she was tall and fast. For example, when he first saw her on the 1st chapter on page 6 on the 6th paragraph Carmen's family came over to La Cocina de La Isla and Carmen looked different like she had looked before when Carmen and Arturo used to hang out together, for example, when Carmen first walked through the door Carmen looked different.
I found this on the chapters 1-2 and on page 6 and on the 6th paragraph.
This means that is how Arturo's feelings have changed about Carmen since he last saw her.
Good job Ali

DeleteKeimone@The Mulick Park School-
ReplyDeleteArturo's feeling changed about Carmen since the last time he saw her because he realized he had a crush on her because it says in the text Carmen grabs Arturo's shoulder and double kiss him on each cheek and Arturo felt burning in his stomach like a pot of oil was slowly boiling. I found my answer on page 8 .This means Arturo's feelings changed about Carmen since the last time he saw her.
Lily-SWCC
ReplyDeleteHis feelings have changed about Carmen because last time he saw her they were just friends now he sees her more than just a friend.
Deshawn@ The Mulick Park School-
ReplyDeleteArturo's feelings about Carmen have changed since he has last saw her because when he is around Carmen he doesn't know what to say,and he also gets very nervous. But back when they were younger they hadn't had awkward encounters with each other. Evidence from the text that supports my answer are on pg.7 and when Arturo notices that Carmen has changed from a tall super fast lanky cheetah girl to on pg.8 a tall girl with rainbow braces that make her look super mature and she double kisses Arturo and he feels his stomach boiling. This starts to alter some of Arturo's emotions towards Carmen. This means that Arturo has some different emotions for Carmen then he once did years ago.
Kalani@The Mulick Park Arturo has changed his feeling about Carmen because his mom always says that Carmen is her goddaughter and Arturo always gets that rumble in his stomach because he should not like his moms goddaughter. Another reason why Arturo has different feeling for Carmen because on page 37 he was saying that Carmen and Arturo are practically related. I got my answer from page 8 and page 37. This means why Arturo has different feelings for Carmen.
ReplyDeletebryan swcc Arturo's felings have changed for carmen because he sees carmen more than a friend he was having fun playing musical chairs page 13
ReplyDeleteHenry.M SWCC Arturo's was having fun playing musical chairs he admit he peeked to his left to see what was she doing.
ReplyDeleteAlex-SWCC
ReplyDeleteThe feelings of Arturo changed because they haven't seen each other in months.In page 13 says she caught me looking over at carmen

DeleteAntonio/SWCC Arturo's feelings have changed Because when he saw her again he said she was"taller and had colorful braces that made her more mature" also every time he saw her he had funny feelings for example "his cheeks started to burn" also"My stomach started to bubble like a deep fryer
ReplyDeleteAudrina@The Mulick Park
ReplyDeleteArturo's feeling about Carmen change because when they were little she looked different from how she looked now also she is related to Arturo's mother so he thinks that it is weird to like a girl who is related to him in a way.
I found my answer on page 8, and 37.This means how Arturo's feelings have changed about Carmen since he last saw her.
MARTESE-SWCC
ReplyDeleteNow he has a bubbly felling when he sees Carmen because it has been 5 years since he last saw her. Now she's more grown up and they are 13 years old.
Jennifer-SWCC
ReplyDeleteArturo"s feelings changed about Carmen, when they where 8 he remember Carmen as a lanky mutant-fast cheetah girl,she was looking at Arturo very shyly and without a warning she came in and double kissed each cheek Arturo felt a burning in his stomach like a pot of oil was slowly starting to bubble inside.
Kimora@The Mulick Park
ReplyDeleteArturo feeling has change about Carmen when he last,shall her he was embarrassed that his mom said that she was his mothers goddaughter and when him and Carmen was talking and he got very nerves. I found my answers on pages 8 and 37. This means that Arturo has different feelings for Carmen.
Gabriel-SWCC As I turned to walk back into the restaurant I nearly crashed into Carmen, who had appeared out of nowhere. ''Geez! I said, holding my chest. You scared me. Sorry she said smiling. He was surprised when he saw her. Arturo hasn't seen her in a long time and he's surprised.

DeleteAlisson-SWCC
ReplyDeletewhat i think that is about how carmen change but first, she was still tall ,and that colorful braces that she got made her look more mature.and her hair was really long and wavy,she cried a little book in her hand thumbing the edges while looking at me shyly then she grabbed my shoulder and grabbed kissed me one on each cheek.
Josiah@The Mulick Park - Arturo's feelings towards Carmen have changed since he last saw her, in the beginning of the story, (Chapters 1-4) Arturo feels unsure and uncomfortable towards Carmen. He doesn't know how to feel about her. Carmen double kisses him and Arturo thinks that it was weird. Later in the story, (Chapters 5-8) Arturo likes Carmen, he hangs out with her and talks to her more. They do a undercover search of Pipo's Place. I found my answer on pages 8, 31, 61, and 71. This means that this is how Arturo's feelings towards Carmen have changed since he last saw her.
ReplyDeleteAngelO@The Mulick Park Arturo feelings have changed about Carmen since he last saw her because Arturo mom said that Carmen was like family to her. And When they went to go spy on Wilfrido Carmen said Arturo was her little brother. I found my answer on pages 7,65,and 66.This means Arturo feelings have changed since the last time he saw Carmen.
ReplyDeleteKamaya@Mulick Park-Arturo's feelings about Carmen changed since he last saw her because when they were little they use to play tag together and Carmen was as fast as a cheetah.Arturo said that Carmen had wavy hair still and colorful braces that made her look mature. Another reason is that when they were just taking a stroll and Carmen said that they're family.Arturo was feeling sick inside because what Carmen said. Arturo was really sick inside because Carmen gave him a double kiss one on each cheek.I found my answer on page 8 and in chapters 7&8. This means how Arturo's feelings about Carmen changed since he last saw her.
ReplyDeleteAjani@The Mulick Park
ReplyDeleteArturo's feelings changed when he last saw Carmen because on the first page of the book Carmen grabbed his shoulders and double kissed and he felt like a pot of oil was slowly burning and he gets nervous around Carmen because he like her and on page 37 it says Me:No way.My mom is her godmother!We're practically related.I found my answer on pages 1 and 37 chapter 4.This means Arturo's feelings changed when he last saw her.

Destiney - Kent Hills
ReplyDeleteArturo's feelings have changed for Carmen because they used to just be friends but now Arturo has a more weird feeling of Carmen when he saw her. Carmen looked way more different then before because she was tall. I think Arturo's feelings is strange to him because Carmen will be living with his family and Carmen is like a cousin to Arturo. Arturo will probably have the same feelings when they get older. But now Arturo has a small crush on Carmen because when she kisses his cheeks he feels a steam like a deep fryer in his stomach. That's how I know Arturo's feelings has changed for Carmen.
JUANA-SWCC

On the same page Carmen had kissed her on both of the cheeks. Arturo said "I felt a burning in my stomach, Like a pot of oil slowly starting to bubble inside. He also said that "Plus, she was practically my cousin." He knew these feelings were wrong.
Anaiya-Kent Hills
ReplyDeleteArturo's feelings have changed about Carmen since he last seen her: he started to develop a crush on he. He started to get butterflies in his stomach and a kinda fry like felling. This is not the same mutant-fast-cheetah girl he remembered when he was younger. Now Carmen look more mature and acts her age.

ReplyDeleteArturos feelings have changed becouse
Arturo thinks that she has changed a lot. Because it says on the very first page of the book it says"This is the not the lanky mutant-fast cheetah fast girl I used to know.Then with out warning she double kissed me on each cheek.IT FELT WEIRD".Carmen= Goddaughter/ niece was not computing with Arturo+ Carmen= sudden frying of intestines when I talk to Carmen.
ReplyDeleteZoey@ KOS
Montanazia-Kent Hills
ReplyDeleteYes Arturo's feelings have changed since the last time he saw Carmen. He did not notice her. She had gotten taller since the last time he seen her, his feelings was not that strange,but now he have a big crush on her. They were so little since they saw each other. They are like cousins, because his mom and Carmen's mom were best friends.
Arturo said 'he felt like a boiling pot of stem when Carmen double kissed him'. If I were Arturo I would act cool, when Carmen left he probably faint. So by what it says in chapter 1 he pretty much loves Carmen. Arturo tries to act cool when Carmen shows up in almost every chapter but I haven't read that many.Lucas@KOS
ReplyDeleteLanora KOS I think Arturo likes Carmen because on pg 13 in the book when the family was praying Arturo was looking at Carmen and his Abuela caught him looking at Carmen. then Carmen looked back at Arturo .Arturo feel his cheeks was burning and he had trouble breathing.

ReplyDeleteThe last time Carmen saw Arturo, they were buddies. He was thinking about her. Carmen had kissed on Arturo's cheek, he was thinking about her different. He had a real crush on her. When she kissed him on the cheek it made he stomach feel strange.
blessing@kos Arturo have a crush on Carmen. when they want to the basketball court Bren told Arturo to ask Carmen out Arturo said no way my mom is her god mom and he also said they are practically related. Arturo think that he and Carmen are cousin but they are really not so he can like her

ReplyDeleteArturo's feelings have changed because the last time he saw Carmen they were playmates. Now he has a crush on her because she is more grown up and because she is more mature. When Carmen kissed Arturo he felt like oil is boiling in side of his stomach.

Maryann@KOS. Arturo has a crush on Carmen. When Carmen double kissed Arturo. He felt a burning pot bubbling in his stomach. After the kisses Arturo was blushing. He felt weird after the kiss but he like it. Also in page 32 Arturo said " I like poetry""Is that a question"said Carmen"No,I mean,I don't...I mean,not really,um,poetry.I write it...sometimes."said Arturo. He lied to Carmen about he writing poetry.

Syriana@KOS Well I think that Arturo has feelings for Carmen because when Carmen left her book of poems Arturo picked it up and went to play basketball and played with Bren and Mop.But when they saw the book of poems Bren and Mop though that Arturo like Carmen which he does.And it says that "Guys,seriously.I'm not interested in Carmen like that.I mean,she's cool and all, but we're practically related on pg 38 and 39.

Kobe KOS I think Carmen and Arturo like each other a little but they don't know yet I know because in the story Carmen kissed him on each cheek and Arturo felt like oil was bubbling in his stomach.
ReplyDeletePhoebe SWCC
ReplyDeleteArturo feels different to Carmen now than before. On page 16 he says he felt like his intestines are frying. Before he liked to play with her as a friend.

ReplyDeletewhen atruro saw carmen last, he saw her as a friend who he played with. when he saw her in the book he thought she looked more mature than the girl he played with. artruro also described her as a lanky mutant fast cheetah girl, and when she kissed him his insides started to bubble, so i predict that he has a crush on her. (careless whisper starts playing) <3<3<3
