The Witches of Worm (Book Worksheet)

Main Character: Jessica
Summary: Jessica finds a baby cat in a cave and brings it to her neighbor, Mrs. Fortune, a cat-loving strange old woman. Mrs. Fortune tells Jessica to keep it and something makes Jessica look after the small cat. Jessica is interested in books about witches and magic but is forbidden to read them by her mother. With here father gone, and her mother having dinner dates with her boyfriend, Alan, Jessica only has her cat, Worm. All of Jessica's friends seemed to have left her. Jessica starts to do bad things that hurt other people but she thinks that it is Worm's fault and that he was the reason why she was doing these things. She can hear Worm talking to her. When she is caught doing these things, she would act innocent and she would get away everything. After Jessica breaks her old friend's trumpet and is caught, she talks with Mrs. Fortune (who had saw her pushing the trumpet out the window) She then begins to think that Worm is a demon and that a witch sent him. Jessica tries to destroy the demon but not worm, but she fails because Worm ran away but Worm dies from a fall. Jessica is very sorry and thinks that she is the witch. Then her friend reassures her that she is not a witch because Jessica was crying over Worm's death and witches don't cry.

3. Jessica: Sorrowful, hurt, lonely

3a. I think Jessica must of been surprised and scared at the same time when she acted innocent and pretended she didn't remember anything and was passing out because people believed her. I don't think Jessica thought it would work at first but when it did I think she was surprised. I think she felt a bit guilty about using this to get away with things.

4. A memorable scene from the story was Jessica imagined that Worm was back alive in her dream. This shows that because Jessica believed that Worm was talking and that he was a demon, he was to her, but once she started to think differently, she dreamed that Worm didn't die and that the demon did instead.

5. The author is trying to tell you that whatever you believe is true to you. Jessica believed in witches and so they were real to her. If you believe in ghosts, you feel like you see them everywhere.

6. I would rate this book a 10 because I really loved the ending where Worm came back alive and you can either think that Worm actually did come a live or it was actually a dream.

Beginning: Jessica finds Worm and takes care of him.

Climax: Worm talks to Jessica and Jessica starts to do bad things to other people because of Worm.

Ending: Jessica is very sad because Worm dies from a fall and stops believing in demons and witches.
