=<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I like this sentence because it explained the main part of this chapter. It also means that Greb follows no rules. The sentence is talking about the beginning of the fight between Greb and Presh. This is a good sentence also, because it is kind of scary and it does not have to be used in a story that does not have to do with early humans. =

This time they fell on the rock and rolled about, locked together, biting and clawing. they separated, stood, circled, grappled and fell once more, rolling across the rock till they tumbled over the edge, bouncing off a barnacled jut of rock on their way down. Greb was underneath and must 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 challenger to give in with out loss of prestige, but Greb ignored it and rushed at Presh once more.”// =

=<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This paragraph really paints a picture in my head. This is of Greb and Presh tumbling down the cliff, bleeding as they fall. Over all I think that this is a good paragraph because it shows how Greb is seriously angry. This pharagraph has a lot of descriptive language such. I think that this paragraph has the most descriptive language and makes the best picture in my head. =

===<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">__Question 4.__ <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">__Why was Li the one to discover a new way to catch shrimp and not one of the other older creatures?__ ===

=
__I Think That Li is Very Curious, Kind Of like Curious George. Humans are smart because an ape had a jaw mutation that made it so its head could grow large and learn. Other apes without this mutation could not have developed a large brain and they would act like a child. I think Li is one of these first apes with the mutation.__=====


 * First Two Chapters**

<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;">This book is about a girl in the modern age whose father is an archaeologist. It is also about a girl named Li from when humans didn’t exist but instead there were half ape and half humans. Li lives in a tribe and they get their food by collecting food in the sea. I think that both girls are going to go in the same spot and then Li dies and the other girl finds her bones. Many people think it’s confusing that there are two different time periods. I like how there are two different time periods.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">I enjoyed your post John. I especially like your predictions...Shirley I really enjoyed your comparison of the two girls, but were the people half ape and half human or half ape and half sea creature?...Elias
