For over 25 years, Ellen Raskin's Newberry Medal-winning The Westing Game has been an enduring favorite. It has sold over one and a half million copies. This highly inventive mystery involves sixteen people who are invited to the reading of Samual Westing's will. They could become millionaires - it all depends on how they play the tricky and dangerous Westing Game, a game involving blizzards, burglaries, and bombings! Ellen Raskin has created a remarkable cast of characters in a puzzle-knotted, word-twisting plot filled with humor, intrigue, and suspense.
Please read the 6th Grade comments on the book below:
I think it was either- Turtle Wexler, Dr. Deere, or Crow. Sydelle seems like the obvious killer which is why I don't believe it was her.
ReplyDeleteI think that Sydelle Pulaski did it because she was limping and seen out side of the Westing Estate after Mr. Westing was found dead. On the other hand it doesnt seem like her because it would be someone unexpected.
ReplyDeleteI think Sydelle Pulaski murdered Sam Westing. The reason I think this is because she was wearing a dress with purple waves when the sixteen heirs met at the Westing House. When that one boy went into the house he ran out with bloody hands saying "Puple waves." I think the boy walked in when Sam Westing was being murdered.
ReplyDeleteI think it was the door man because he is a quiet and sounds like he is hiding something. I also think somebody is faking it also. Maybe Shin Hoo is faking it. Well I can not wait to find out. So far I am liking this book.I think this will be a great book!!!

I think that Sandy (the doorman) killed Sam Westing.
ReplyDeleteWho you think killed Sam Westing? I think Sydelle Pulaski killed Sam Westing. I think she did it because she has a limp and we saw a limping person on the Westing Property. We also read that Sydelle Pulaski had a package that no one was allowed to peek except her and to me I think it was a big rifle that she shot with to kill him. But to me the most important clue was that no one pays any attenion to her and she just wanted to stay that way so no one suspects her. So there are other people and chacters out there but to me I think Sydelle Pulaski commited the crime.
ReplyDeletei think Sydelle Pulaski killed Sam Westing because she was seen limping around the westing house before he was killed.
ReplyDeleteI think that it was either Sydelle Pulaski, Mr. Hoo, or Crow who killed Sam Westing. Sydelle and Crow both are walking with a limp but Sydelle was found outside of the Westing house. I think that it might be Mr. Hoo because he is holding a grudge against Sam Westing for some reason. And Crow because she is walking with a limp.
ReplyDeleteI think Sydelle Pulaski killed Sam Westing because she was limping by the Westing House. She also said that nobody ever notices her so I think if nobody ever notices her nobody will suspect her if she killed Sam Westing or she didn't.

ReplyDeleteI think that Turtle killed Mr. Westing. I think that because she went in the Westing House last.
I think that the doorman because he is almost always quiet ever sience he was fired from Sam Westing from the newspaper.It's either the doorman or Sydelle Pulaski because she was limping outside of the Westinghouse the night Sam Westing has gotten killed.
ReplyDeletei think Sydelle Pulaski killed Sam Westing 1 because she has a limp 2 because she said that Turtle Wexler was going to pay how is she going to pay 3 because she is not very noticible and 4 she seems very strange.
ReplyDeleteIt was probaby sydelle plaaski because she was limping by the house after he was found dead
ReplyDeletei think barney north brook killed sam westing
ReplyDeleteI think that Sydelle Pulaski killed Sam Westing becaues someone was seen walking in the westing house with a limp.She was wearing a purple dress.
ReplyDeletei think that either Sydelle or Mrs. Wexler killed Sam Westing. maybe Sydelle didn't do it because the author wouldn't make it too obvious if she killed him.
ReplyDeleteI think sydelle pulaski and angela did it
ReplyDeleteI think that Mrs.Hoo killed Mr. Westing. Murderers are always someone you would least expect, so it's either her or Sydelle Pulaski.
ReplyDeleteI think it was Crow because when she walked out of Sam Westing's house she was limping.
ReplyDeletei think turtle was the one who killed mr westing she is the least expected
ReplyDeleteI think it was Sydelle Pulaski because
ReplyDelete1.she was wearing a purple dress might be like the purple waves.
2.people say a person in the westing house was on a limp she limps.
AND
3.She said
"people never noticed me..now they will"
the judge wanted nothing to do with it so fast and when she was convinced she said she would beat sam westing at his last game.
ReplyDeletesome say that sydlle would be too obvious but thats what the author wants you to think. its basic reverse psychology.so either one of them too is what i think.
