Chapter 8 If a girl wanted to be a doctor and her parens would say that they wouldnt want her to be a doctor because it was against their religin.If she would really want to be a doctor but her parents really want her to follow the religin then she should break the rules just for this and tell her parents and they should understand that what she wants to do is be a doctor. chapter11 I think thhat graybeard is a good teacher and i think he is because he taought tao a lot of diffrent drawings.I think that i woould have been taought a good skill beacause he is a good teacher so i think he would aloso teach well to.

chapter 12: "There were lot of colors,and one of them was called red." reason:in there societe do they have to start seeing colors in there memory before they see it in there world.I think that that is very strange that they have to have memories to see the colors before they see it in there world.And they also have to START seeing it.

Reading Journal for April: Book:replay Author Sharon Creech Quote:"Hey sardine"Fog boy!What the heck are you doing?Mom is looking all over for you." Expination:When I was reading this chapter I thought sardine was his real name!Then i read on and saw that it was a nickname.Iwouldnt call anyone something like that.I thought they were being mean to him by calling him that name.Then i read even more to figure out he called himself that first.My question is that does he really like that name?
