This time they fell on to the rock and rolled about, locked together, biting and clawing. They separated, stood, circled, grappled, and fell once more., rolling across the the rock until they tumbled over the edge, bouncing off the jut of barnacled rock on their way down. Greb was underneath and must of have caught the side of his head on a jag, because when he climbed out blood was pouring down his neck and shoulder. Such a hurt would have allowed any normal challenger to give in without loss of prestige, but Greb ignored it and rushed at Presh once more.”// __

The ending was excellent because it ended with a cliffhanger, thus enabling you to want more. The way it looked in my head was waves crashing against the rocks and Greb and Presh locked in a showdown to determine the chief of Li’s Tribe. __

I like warnings in books especially at the end of a chapter. It makes me predict that the protagonist isn’t going to go by this warning and get in a pickle. Though this doesn't always happen. It is fun saying to the protagonist, “Don’t do it!!” and other warnings. __

Question # Do you think the volcanoes by Li"s camp wiped out her kind?

I think that it will wipe out her kind because if the volcano is smoking it is due to erupt soon. Also if Li can see the volcano it is likely to erupt on her tribe's land. And it is likely that Li died in the cataclysmic eruption. Hopefully Vinny will find her skeleton and use it for scientific examination. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">1st and 2nd chapters

In Humanities, we are reading A Bone From A Dry Sea__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">by Peter Dickinson. It is about a girl named Vinny who is looking for fossils of early humans with her father. Every alternative chapter of the book is about Li, an ancestor of humans who is helping her tribe look for food. At the part we are at Vinny is talking to her father about his divorce and Li is helping her tribe to catch a shark to eat. I think that Vinny is going to find Li’s fossil.

Hi, Milo! I think your summary of Bone is very "appropai.﻿" Remember thats french for appropiate. I think it is a summary that really gets the reader ready to start the book. I know that sounds to much like i'm sucking up to you but its true!
