<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Favorite Paragraph ( A Bone from A Dry Sea) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Nobody liked Greb. He was a big, surly young male who didn’t keep to the rules. A while ago he’d broken Nuhu’s arm. She and some other children had been playing a splashing game around a rock pool when Greb had settled near them with a clam he’d found and a rock to hammer it open. Nuhu had wheedled for a bit of clam. A normal male would have barked a Go away, but Greb had shoved her hard enough to knock her flat, so that she’d banged her head on a rock and started to howl. Greb, in sheer bad temper had brought his hammerstone down on her outstretched arm, snapping the bone above the wrist.” <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Paragraph opinion <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I like this paragraph because it is descriptive of its characters and actions. In the beginning of the paragraph, it immediately says that nobody likes Greb and explains his personality, shape and attitude. Then the author tells a story about how Greb broke Nuhu’s arm. The story builds the character's personality. Nuhu is a wheedler ( persuading, complimenting in order to get something). The language in the paragraph gives a better idea for hearing and seeing. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Favorite Sentence <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“The dusty air was tinged with orange and the sinking sun cast sidelong shadows, so that the flat- topped trees that dotted the plain were joined to their own shape reversed--branches, trunk, shadow trunk, shadow branches- a single dark shape like a letter in a peculiar alphabet.” <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Favorite sentence opinion <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I like this sentence because it words are really descriptive and I get a really good picture in my head. I imagine being on a dirt road in Africa near the plains as the sun is going down. That part “t <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">he sinking sun cast sidelong shadows, so that the flat- topped trees that dotted the plain” <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">gives me a perfect imagine in my head. There are animals everywhere searching for food. There are trees that have not grown properly because the animals have ruined them. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

For example she wanted to ride on a dolphin until the she saw a shark and ran back to her tribe as fast as she could. I think the eleders in her tribe doesn’t want to discover new things because they could have bad experiences in the past. For example the eleders could have got lost in the island and didn't find there way back. When the elders didn't return the next day the tribe got worried and didn't want to explorer anymore. Another reason is that the tribe is not smart enough as Li and doesn't want to explore. The last reason is Li could be different and be a new evolution of human and ape. I think Li will get hurt in the future by her curiosity and I can't wait to find out what happens later. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">- <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Chapters 1-2 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I think the book, //A Bone From A Dry Sea// is an exciting book so far. I really like the theme of the book and the two characters. The character names are Li and Vinny and their lives are extremely different from each other. For example, Li lives in a tribe while Vinny lives with her mom and step dad. Another example is that Li is half human and half ape while Vinny is all human. I think this book is going to more exciting later on! Nice post. Really thoughtful. Ben :D GREAT POST A LOT OF DETAIL! chris Great post...a lot of description!!!! Alex
