Tuesday, October 9, 2007 Chapter 1 1. What problems or conflicts are presented in chapter one? Tao needing to find a rabbit is an obvious one; identify at least two more. 2. Predict the resolution of each conflict.

1. He wants to draw but, only chosen ones can draw in the caves. He can't hunt animals like bear so, he only hunts rabbits and feild mice

1. I think that he will just draw on the foor or go to the cave and paint. I do not think that there is a resolution for that problem, because of his bad foot.

Chapter 2 What two important events happen in this chapter?

He tells him he wants to hunt by himself.

3. Look at Tao's decisions and actions from Volt's perspective. Pretend you are Volt. Write a first person paragraph explaining how you feel.

Volt thinks that he it is bad for him to hunt alone. I Volt am worried that the clan will not get eough food because of Tao is not going to bring any food.

Chapter 4 In a good paragraph, describe Tao's mother. Start with an interest grabber. Then write your topic sentence. Give three details or examples to support your thesis. Use a quotation from the chapter.

It is sad that Tao never knew a great mom. She died to save Tao. Again and again they tried to take you away, but she fought like a cave lion, sreaming, biting, refusing to give you up.

Chapter 5 1. Which two animals does Tao try to draw?

He dosen't know that that Tao draws on walls

3. Graybeard describes Volt differently than we have. What aspects of Volt's character is Graybeard acknowledging?

He acknowledging that Volt is a good man.

Chapter 7 Write your reaction to the last paragraph in the chapter. Do you agree or disagree with Graybeard? Is what he says true for those times, but not now? Or, is the reverse true: was it not true then, but true now

I agree with Graybead because it is taboo.

It is not okay to brake taboos.

Chapter 8 An important theme in this novel is that people should follow their dreams and do what they believe is right, even if they don't follow their society's expected ways. The author examines this theme in a stone age setting. Imagine a similar situation today. What situation did you imagine? ] I imagine a woman that wants to be a firefighter. [ In the situation you imagined, should the person follow his or her dreams or should they follow society's rules? Give your opinion.

I think they should not follow the dream because it is dangerous and what if they have kids to take care of.
