Greb choose a place where a headland ended in a series of shelving rocks, with deep fissures between them. A seaweed grew here whose young fruited-fronds were good to eat. Juicy seasnails fed on the weed, and crayfish could be poked out of crannies, so the tribe was spread along the headland, mostly out of sight of each other, foraging between the rocks. Many of them missed the challenge ritual and arrived to watch only when the actual fighting had begun.” Page 70// ===

This is the type of paragraph that, after you read it you want to know what happens next. === ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Sentence: “ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">//Followed by their hoots of Shame! he swam awkwardly away, using only his left arm, out along the cliffs of the farther headland, and disappeared.” Page 75// ===

====I think that Li isn't trying to be different it is just how she is. Li is trying out different techniques because she can probably improve those techniques, I also think that she wants to experiment making new things. In the book it describes Li as a very curios ape/human who wants to explore. Although she wants to explore and discover new things Li can also get scared. For example, during the beginning of the book Li wanted to ride the dolphin until she saw the shark and ran back to the rest of her tribe. She ran away because she immediately thought of danger when she saw the shark. Li is trying to be independent and do her own thing because she somehow knows that she id different from the rest of her tribe.==== ====The rest of Li's tribe would probably try to invent new ways of catching/finding and doing things, but they already have found an easy way to do them. They might also be afraid to try new things because they are so used to doing things the way they were taught when they were children, like Li. Most humans learn how to do things when they are young and get adapted to doing it that way. Example: When I eat I hold the knife in my left hand, and some people I know hold the knife in their right hand just because its easier. I predict that later on in the book Li will get hurt by her curiosity.====

Li reminds me of Lucy because her thinking is more human than ape. I can't wait to read more of the book!!!

I also like how the author made the characters related in some ways and not so much in others. For example Vinny doesn’t really have to work, and meanwhile Li has to help her tribe survive. Another thing is at the end of chapter one, Li realizes that she is somehow different than the rest of her tribe, and throughout the book I think that Li will find out why or how she is different.
