The characters are Flynn, mayor, and Steve. Steve didn't say anything important. Mayor wants Flynn to keep making the food no mater how big it gets or how dangerous it is. Flynn wants to stop making the food because it's dangerous to the town. The theme is faltering words can be bad choices. The mayor talks about the fame that Flynn will get if he keeps making food. The mayor talks about the bad things that people will think or say of him if he doesn't make the food. It's important to know this so people don't talk you into doing bad things or bribing you.

The mayor says that flint should keep doing the food thing but his dad says otherwise. The theme is to not do stuff for people who could be using you. It s important because a lot of people will try to take credit from your work or have you do that stuff for them.

The mayor came into Flint's(scientists) lab and Flint said that his dad said to turn his food machine off. The mayor said Flint should keep it on, because the town was reliying on him. So Flint agreed. Obedience is the theme because, the mayor told Flint he should keep it on, and Flint obeyed. It is important to learn obedience because if a trustworthy adult tells you to do something you need to do it because is is most likely the right thing to do.

The 3 characters were Steve the monkey, The mayor/the bad guy, and Flynn the inventor. The mayor wanted Flynn to keep the food machine on because it makes big food, and '' Bigger is always better!'' as he said. Also he was pressuring Flynn too. But Flynn didn't want to keep it on because that's what his dad said plus he's probably thinking something bad could happen if he left it on. So Flynn is kind of stuck in the middle of what to do or say.

Flynn is the scientest mayor is a mayor. Flinn knew that the meter was on yellow so he thought he would'nt do it any more but......They mayor walked in and told him to make double the size of the food more of the food and he said if you do this you will become very famous. The theme is dedication because it takes him dedication to decide wether he want's to be famous and something to happen to the machine (Blow up) or not be famous and the machine will not blow up . it is important beacause you have to make a disision to be famous or not.

1) Identify the characters and what did or said. Steve (monkey) Flynn and Mr. Mayor. Flynn was trying to make the decision to turn the machiene off or on. Mr. Mayor said its your choice but if you turn it off everyone will hate you. Mr. Mayor was kind of bullying Flynn.

1. The characters are Steve, Mr. Mayor, the Boy. Steve would say yellow. Mr. Mayor is the Mayor I think. The Boy is a person who makes things/hotdogs with a machine and that makes the things big or small.

Flint is the scientists and Steve is Flint's pet monkey. The super fat guy was the mayor. The mayor was trying to convince Flint to make more and more food. He did that by saying that everybody would love him and that he would get to cut the ribbon but if he didn't he would be a big disappointment.

the characters were steve, flint lockwood, the mayor. Steve said yellow and flint said your right steve the thormomiter is at yellow. Then the mayor came out of nowhere and started talking to flint. but flint was scared because the mayor was so fat. Then the mayor wanted flint to keep making food but flint said the food will get to big, but the mayor black maled him. 2. always go what you think. don't let some one else control you. It is important to know this so you can understand the story better.( It helped me).

The inventor says that making food bigger is a bad idea. He wants to shut the machine down. The mayor wanted to make the food bigger even though the inventor did not want to. The theme of the story is the inventor wants to do the right thing but the mayor does not agree with him. it is important to know because you always have to do the right thing even if someone else disagrees with you.
