<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Consolas; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">His attitude had changed completely. A moment before he’d been easy, genial, friendly. Now he looked thoroughly put out, but couldn’t at once think of an objection.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I think this paragraph is descriptive because of the words the writer used to describe the way the characters were feeling. It made me feel like them.

I like this sentence because it reminds me of one of the funnest weekends of my life. It reminds me because I was in a truck with my friend and his dad driving on a bumpy dirt road. To a campsite last year where I had lots of fun.

First 2 chapters:

<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;">At first, when I began this book, I was confused and didn't know what was going on. After the first couple pages I understood much better. I think the book is a little odd but I like the way the author wrote the book because of the description and the general idea of the book. I also found it interesting that the creature (Li) could find a pattern and point it out to her tribe. I found it interesting because these creatures have pretty small brains so it would take a lot of thought for something with a small brain like hers to figure out something.

kate:I like your post and I agree it was very confusing in the begining but then it starts getting clearer good job matt!!!!!!! <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000080; display: block; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Elizabeth: I think that your post is great, like you, I think it’s interesting that Li could figure out the p﻿att﻿ern of the shark. Also, I agree that in the beginning, the book isn’t clear, but as it goes along, it begins to make sense. I can’t wait to read more of the book!

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000080; display: block; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline;">---

==﻿<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Question 3. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How was Li different from her kind. Please explain and use examples. ==

I like to think that there is always someone or something different in everything and in this case the different thing is Li. Li is different because she decided to explore and find new ways of doing things. Like when the shark came in the begginging of the book. Instead of going back to shore she went on a rock and studied the sharks movements and behaviors. By doing this she helped her kind to get food and helped her uncle to become leader. She is also different because she studied the spiders way of hunting and followed it, this brought a lot of shrimp.
