    Uncle Alain Is Dangerous
    -Because his Brother Alan took out the brakes out of Philip's father car.
    -To kill his Uncle Alan.

    The Hole In the Wall
    -Murder Most Foul
    -No Time refers to the span of time Philip has to get revenge on Uncle Alan for his father.
    -On Decemeber 10th. Philip's father's birthday.
    -Uncle Alan is described as a Charmer: a divorced man .

    Hardians Wall
    -He references them in the beginning when he asked his Dad if he's met any Roman ghosts, and on his field trip to Hadrians Wall he references them too. He probably refers to them because he respects them.
    -It makes his reading easier to go through and creates vivid pictures of the setting.
    -He gets made fun for smashing a window while sleepwalking.

    The Disco
    -Mr.Rosen is described as a nice teacher with hairy hands, with a good watch but strict. He sometimes shouts.
    -That Philip is brave and prefers to keep to himself.
    - We agree with Philip because sometimes someone will try to have good intentions but then their efforts fail and it makes the situation worse.
