I don't know if any of you read the extra part but i did. I learned some good facts.

I like the paragraphs where her dog dies. I mean I don't not like the dog but I think that the author was so into that part. It was so good I couldn't believe how descriptive he had been. I would be so sad and kind of mad at the same time if I was Karana. I can't explain how much I loved that part. Karana buried her dog. I would not think she would because she is so busy. The book said she dug for two days straight from night to dawn. I would be so sad I would have let the birds free and never think of having another dog in my life time. I would then leave the island leaving all of my precious belongings there

I liked the paragraph on the bottom of page 3. Karana describes how she feels. So I would think this paragraph is a descriptive paragraph. It also made me think "Was something going to happen to Ramo?". I wondered who or what was in the big boat, and why was it coming. So it was also a mysterious paragragh.

 On the bottom of page 6 and the top of page 7 there was an argument. It was kind of like a paragragh. Karana thought that the Aleuts were going to kill all of the sea otters. She was talking to her dad. It was an exciting paragragh. Who knows? Maybe her dad  would of told her the Aleuts were going to stay.

 The paragraph on page three really does make me think that Ramo is going to have something happen to him because he's making himself apparent and the people on the ship might not be friendly.

 I would probably also have to bring some needle and thread on a trip, because I always pull a button out of my sweaters. But, I only wear my sweaters on big trips.  I made the connection of the feeling that Karana had when she asked Nanko if her brother was with them. I always think I forgot something important. Even though I really did leave something like a bathing suit when we are going to go swimming.
 *  I made the connection of Karana's and Ulape's items she is taking with her. I would take all of my earrings with me on a trip, even a small trip. **
 *  This story reminds me of Pocohantus. Without the talking tree.

I chose to draw two pictures because I couldn't choose which one I wanted to do. I did Karana standing next to Tutok. Tutok was Karana's only real friend that was a human being! She had a dog and birds but this was her only human friend. I made the otter sitting in a pool of water with seaweed rapped around it. Karana's hand is giving it a fish.But as the book said it never took it from her hand so she put it on the side of the pool. She would always come back and find the fish gone. That otter was really fun to draw. Karana was given a necklace by Tutok.

Hope you are reading your books because we are almost finished!! I love the book! It is so exciting. But the truth would be is that if I was Karana I would pack up and leave.

Karana is trying to get revenge on the dogs for killing her brother. She wanted to kill the leader last, but she then shot him with an arrow. She also killed two other dogs as well. When she came down to look at the dogs she had killed, Karana saw that the leader dog wasn't there! She searched for him after it rained and found that he was nearly dead. She took him to her house and made dinner that she shared with him. He stayed with her for awhile and she got attached to him. She named him Rontu which means Fox Eyes in her language. One day she let him out because the wild dogs went past her hut and he had been sad evcer since. When she was fishing with her new spear she was worried about him. When she was looking for him she heard some fighting!

Rontu was fighting with two other dogs. A different dog had took Rontu's place as pack leader. He fought the dogs and when he was "Weak" he made a suprise attack on the other dogs. Karana was thrilled to see that Rontu was better. Now it has changed to spring and she discribes the birds that she had caught to keep her company in the winter.

I like how you answered your questions on chapters 19-21. I think for question 3 they put then there because there is something important in there that someone doesn't want anyone to find.

I really like all of your questions and I sort-of think that I would answer the same way too. :-)
