did it occur to anyone else that the animorphs always had to tackle school and the missions , was there never a summer? or did the whole thing (up to book 44 thats where im at) not last even a whole school year? and yet it was frequently hot
it just doesnt make since to me ???
feed back appreciated
-
maybe:
a. you overlooked something and there was summer
b. they had a year-long school year
c. KASU
-
kasu?
no i was thinking i overlooked something but i really dont think i did. i doubt they had a yearlong school year because normaly in those you get two weeks off here and there , i dont recall that ever being mentioned
-
I think it was intentional to make sure that we not only didn't know where they were, but didn't know how much time passed, until the end of the book. So they never specified a season, 'cause that would give us an idea of their climate.
-
KASU = KA screwup.
-
didn't it say it was summer in MM#1?
well california isn't that cold in winter (you could wear a t-shirt for a whole year) when I lived that.
-
actually the way ka desribed the place that they lived its really very similar to where i live *shrugs* but also it sounded very much like cali sometimes idk
-
in book 54, I'm pretty sure they said california...
-
Yeah, they did say they were in California.
Maybe they just didn't write about any missions that happened during the summer. I dunno, I always wondered about that too.
-
There were some gaps in the books where they didn't mention school for a bit. I always figured those times they were on summer vacation. But you would think that they'd have more time during summer and therefore go on more missions...
-

Yea I think thats pretty much it, they kept alot of things relating to time, like holidays and stuff like that, purposefully vague so we dont know how much time has passed. They didn't mention school in every book tho, there was probably like a dozen that left it out.
As far as weather goes tho there isnt much of a change in cali so that wasnt really an issue
Also with school they skated over the fact that they would be in high school by now lol
-
yeah, true, they would have moved on. but then again, maybe again it was to protect their identity.
-
lol uh (just a suggestion) since they spent some much times on missions, maybe they had to go to Summer School that was really tough. lol.
just an idea to throw out there
-
hahaha...wait, that could be true....hmmm...
-
1. KASU - forgot about summer break, or winter break, or spring break, or...you get the idea
2. California sometimes gets a "second" summer in October, so it's often sweltering through to December. *
that's what I'm voting for, at least.
* although last year in December, it DID snow in Malibu...freakishly cold weather for that time of year, though.
-
i think it was a KASU, but let's just say what it would be if it wasn't. ^^
-
im personally still going for them all having to be in Summer school. lol
-
fine, shall we take a vote? haha
-
okay, i vote KASU. Apparently Rachel was always good in school, and I really can't see her going to summer school. Also, if they were don't you think their parents would have kept them on shorter leashes?
-
yeah, but i think if it wasn't a KASU it was one of those things to keep us guessing. ^^
-
it wasnt a KASU, it was just purposefully left out to keep time ambiguous, they never said much that would allow you to guess how much time has passed
-
I vote for Summer School, they might have gotten harder classes out of the way so school would not be as strenuous on them in the actual school year. Summer School FTW!!!!!
-
hahaha, you're pretty adamant about that summer school....but i guess it kinda makes sense.
-
=( i got out voted no fair, looks like its a KASU now....
-
if it makes you feel better, I didn't vote for KASU...
-
......then what was your vote?
-
there was a summer, we just missed it while reading...
-
hmmmmm.....interesa nte. dun get how that works...
-
Any story we read, we'll obviously miss a small detail somewhere, or we might not remember it too clearly...
-
Maybe they went to year-round schools. :P
-
They would have been in summer school to keep a closer eye on the sharing. Also, in MM1 I think they were in summer. Maybe that's it, MM was always during the summer or something. Or whenever they were away for extended periods of time.
-
ahh!! u must have figured it out!
