Chapter #1 October 3,2006 List two conflicts that happened in chapter one and predict what their resolutions will be. 1. That the people were hungry and they were starving. The people were also mad at Tao for leaving the rabbit and forgetting it. 2.The people were starving. And Tao was going to help the dog.

October 5,2006 Chapter #2 List two important events in chapter 2. 1.He had to find the rabbit in the middle of the night. 2. He saw a wolf to hunt down, but he could not it was little and it was about to starve.

October 5,2006 Chapter#3 1. What do Tao and Ram learn to do together? Tao and Ram leared that if the hunt tegator they could get a lot of food to feed them and the people in his troop. They also learned that if ram does the finding and Toa does the killing they would make a great team.They also if Tao sees something and he can't run to get it he tells ram and ram gets it and kills if he can. They also learned to help each other and feed each other. They also learned to fight for each other so if ram is in troulble Tao is about to get killed ram helps. The last one is to not kill each other.

2. What decision does Tao tell Volt? He told Volt that was a great, but he would like to hunt with the wolf. Then that he and the wolf make a great team and they could hunt almost anything. He are very well friends unlike the people and the boys. The boys are mean to him, the animal is nice. So what I'm trying to say I don't want to hunt with you guys.

3. Write a good paragraph from Volt's perspective. How do you feel about Tao's actions and decisions? I would not be mad I would let him do the hunting with the wolf. I would say go on I am not mad unless you bring something with you could go and do what you want with the wolf. Me and the rest are going and trying to find and if we cant it is in your hands. So you could hunt with the wolf olny if you bring something back. If you don't suffer the conquences wich is to not see the wolf any more and come hunting with us. If you do you are not part of our troop. Do you understand!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter 8 October 11,2006 Imagine a situation in our time where someone has a dream, and an authority figure or society tells them not to do it. Describe the situation. What do you think the person should do? The childs mom was in the hospital and was very sick. She wondered how she was doing then. After she want it ot pay her a vist. The people wouldn't let her in she got mad she said that is my mom and I want to see her. They said sorry they said. Then she went to a juge and to her that her mom is in the hospital and they wouldn't let her in. The juge signed the paper to let the child in. Then when she got in she saw that the beeper is straight then she cheked her moms hearth and heared that she ws dead. Her religon said no one is aloud to put a person in a coffin just burry her in the ground with no coffin. But she didn't follow it she didn't care it was her mom her own blood. So I think it was right to put the mom in the coffin it was her blood the person raised her and did so many things for her so she didn't care. I would do the same to for my mom I would not care if l die.
