I'm good at art. I feel good when I do art. I feel bad when I dont do art

Chapter 1

The problems are: The clan is starving and Tao has a deformed foot. The solutions can be: The hunter had killed enough animal for the clan. Maybe someone in the clan can cure Tao' s deformed foot.

Chapter 2

The two important event that happend are the wolf could now eat because Tao had took of the bone in the wolf's gums and he was about to see a evil spirit or he was about to encounter a preditor.

1) Tao and ram learned how to hunt.

2) Tao decided he is going to hunt alone.

1) I think Tao is a lazy boy. He is also irrresponsible about the animal he catches, when the time he caught a rabbit and left it on the slough.I feel Taos decissions are sometimes foolish or sometimes good but mostly foolish such as when he ask if the hunters could use a wolf dog as a help when the hunters are hunting.

Chapter 8

The situation is a guy is really smart and has a talent of art.And his father wanted him to him to go to college but he wanted to go to an art college. But he had the right to go to art school. He also has the right to follow his dream.

Chapter 9

1) Maybe Graybear felt bad about Tao and also Tao had dreamed to become a cave painter.

2) It tells me that Graybear is not mean after all. It also tells me that he is thoughtfull and nice and cares about Tao.

Chapter 11

I think Graybear is a good teacher because he had helped Tao improve. I would want Graybear to teach me because he is a really good teacher.

Chapter 1 ( the giver ) pg.7 "two children- one male, one female-to each family unit"

I chose this because they have to follow a very important rule.

Chapter 2 pg. 16 "He remember when his family recived Lily, the day she was named, the day that she had become a One"

The part that said " the day she bacame a One" means that she became a new family member. Chapter 3 pg. 22 "Attention. This is a reminder to females under nine that hair ribbons are to be neatly tied at all times."

I chose this because it is telling us that there might be cameras on houses and they don't have any privacy.

Chapter 4 pg. 32 " when they make the actual reales e what would happen" "where is Roberto going"

I chose this because it if you do something wrong they realese you and i think it is not reasonable.

Chapter 5 pg. 33 "dream telling began with the threes"

The part where they said "with the threes" i chose it because they call children by their age and not their names.

Chapter 6 pg. 44 "finally the nines were all resettled in their seats, each having wheeled a bycicle outside where it would be waiting for its owner at the end of he day"

I choce this because when girls turn nine they will ride their bikes and i think ypu can ride a bike what ever age your in.

Chapter 7 pg. 50 "then finally the chief elder called number one to the stage and the assignment began" "each assignment was lenghly accompanied by a speech directly to the new tweleves"

I chose this because when they become twelve they are assign of some kind of work and i think twelve is very early i think 15 is good.

Chapter 8 pg. 58 "we are certainly certain about the assignment reciever even after the most painstaking observation"

I chose this because the assignment reciver is very well choose to the right person wich is Jonas

Chapter 9 pg. 65 "you can lie"

I chose this because only the reicever can only lie and that means it is a important assignment.

Chapter 10 pg. 75 "of course you did not. you dont know what a snow is,do you"

i chose this because it is sad that in their utopia there aren't any snow and children can't play with it..

Chapter 11 pg. 83

"it was sunburn the giver told jonas"

i chose this because children don't prabably know the beach because you get sunburns at the beach and it is not good that they don't know about the beach.

Chapter 12 pg. 90 "the what"

this phrase made me shock that they don't have any color in their utopia.

Chapter 13 pg. 99 "my life is here"

this quote tells me that jonas will probably spend most of the time in the room.

Chapter 14 pg. 105 "they have never know pain"

in this quote it made happy and sad at the same time because nobody felt pain and that's good but then they would not feel the pain when somebody teases them.

Chapter 15 pg. 114 "the giver looked away as if he could bear to see what he had done to jonas"

i chose this because the giver might have been a very nice man becase he really cared for jonas.

Chapter 16 pg.117 "they were called grandparents"

this quote made me mad because they did not even know what grandparents is!

Chapter 17 pg.127 "do you want to go fora ride along the river, jonas? fiona askes, bitting her lips.

i chose this because this what happens when they din't take the pills and it is a good thing because that do not know wkat love even means!

Chapter 18 pg.134 "the receiver can't apply for rel-

i chose this this because the receiver gets a different rule and i think jonas did not like his rules.

Chapter 19 pg.141 "he killed it! my father killed it!

okey this one made me really mad because realesed ment to kill now the chief elders have to be ashamed of their selves!

Chapter 20 pg.148 "i'll give music before you go"

now this one is crazy i mean there is no music this is just wrong!

Chapter 21 pg.158 he knew they were search planes

this one tells us that in their utopia they are really secure and that's a good thing.

Chapter 22 pg. 163 " he no longer cared for himself"

now i feel that jonas is very very caring person because imagine he only cared for gabriel.

Chapter 23 pg. 168 " the elswhere that held their future"

now this is very nice because jonas had worked very very hard and now they are in the place called elsewhere who know what that place be welll i don't really need to know that, the important thing is just there in "ELSEWHERE!"

Magic or Not? Chapter 1 Quote: " a lot ." said the girl. "i ought to. my grandmother's a witch."

Untill i read this quote i knew it would be a nice story and i will enjoy it very much because i very much likr this types of story because sometimes witches are very funny and that's why i find this book very interesting to me. So i will be enjoying this book a lot.

Chapter 2 Quote: " if it's only three wishes thatr the well gave you, then you waisted it for a kitten"

This quote was interesting to me because it gave some idea that this story will be about a wishing well and it only gave three wishes. i know wishing wells aren't true but i just read this book because i think they will have a good adventure with this wishing well.

Chapter 3 Quote: " it wasn't me. " said deboraha happily. " it was magic. i'm transformed"

This quote made me think that it was kinda funny and wierd because imagine you will be blame of you transforming a thing! And even technology can't transforme things. so i will keep on enjoying this book untill i finished.

Chapter 4 Quote: " we wished for a visitorf rom another world" said laura

Ha! this one is hilarious, because they wished for a visitor from another world and they got it freaky! And i will rerally enjoy it as i said again. //( what a funny book)

GOOSBUMPS- how i learned to fly by R.L.STINE//

Father of Silk Road

Who would travel thousands of mile just to trade? Well, Zhang Qian (Father of Silk Road) does. I will tell you the different routes he took, about him and more. First of all let’s talk about the development of the Silk Road, though it was helpful it caused some problems for the Han ruler in China. Soon bandits learnt of goods traveling to Gansu Corridor and avoiding the Taklimakan, and took benefit of the terrain to steal these caravans. His routes were very long, it was estimated that it was 1 to 5 thousand miles and overall, the two trips he made was estimated to be more than ten thousand miles. His routes were different, one was on road/rail way, the other one is sea. On the routes they use camel to carry the things they are going to trade, and they just walk beside them. They trade rare stones for strong horses. The Father of Silk Road (Zhang Qian) is been captured as hostage on the 1st journey. He was held for ten years and finally escaped. On his 2nd journey he had 300 men with him and 10 thousand sheep to traded. This one was from China to Persia. The Father of Silk Road soon died in 113 B.C. Now let’s talk about how he was named the Father of Silk Road. The Han emperor, Wudi, needed allies to guard against the danger from the strong nearby neighbor. He had heard of a strong and rich state to the west. It took a long time for news to travel to Xi’an of countries as far as India. There has been no official contract, so in 119 B.C. that’s when emperor Wudi sent Zhang Qian to build an alliance. In my conclusion Zhang Qian (Father of Silk Road) has traveled many countries such as Persia to trade goods for his country. He had to incredible journeys. He died in 113 B.C. but nobody will forget the things he did.
