His blood smeared his whole body. One eye stayed closed. Watched by the other males he staggered to his feet and lurch toward Kerif as if he meant to start the fight again, but when Kerif moved aside he lurched on. The tribe watched him limp down the shingle and wade into the healing sea. 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.”// <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Reason:** <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;">This paragraph really painted a picture in my mind. I could picture Greb’s blood smeared body and the rage in his eyes. It also used very interesting words. The author really knows how to make a paragraph interesting and keep the readers attention. I really liked the words <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">//lurched, and staggered.// <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 could definitely see the fight scene in my mind.
 * 1) Choose a very descriptive paragraph from the last two chapters we just read and that paints a vivid picture for you. Retype the paragraph into your Docs and give reasons for choosing this paragraph.
 * 2) Choose your favorite sentence, also from these two chapters and give reasons why you chose it. Retype your sentence.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Sentence: “** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">//Making her bed that morning she'd found an old tube of eyeshadow ,May Anna’s color, wedged between the leg of the bed and the hut wall.”// <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Reason:** <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 liked this sentence because I could really picture what was happening in my mind. I pictured the eyeshadow a very tan color, because I imagined that May Anna would be very tan from working out in the sun everyday. It also got me thinking, why would that be in Vinny’s room?

**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Question #1 Will Vinny’s boredom lead to a very unexpected discovery? ** **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I think something will happen that Vinny will discover Li, by not even meaning to. I think this because when I first started the book, I knew something big would happen somewhere in the book. Vinny is very curious and wants to learn as much as she can about the work that her dad is doing, so that’s another reason why I think she will discover Li. Also Vinny is in the area where Li was living a long time ago. **

First two Chapters

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I am really enjoying reading this book! I can really see that there are similarities between Li and Vinny. Li shows a lot of similarities to humans. She walks upright and swims. She also is a lot like a sea creature because of her webbed hands. Vinny is with her dad in Africa Her dad is an archaeologist. Li and Vinny are similar because they are both curious about things and they are both meant to discover something. So far I think this book is really interesting. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">-<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> I love how you explained things- Anna <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">- I too am enjoying this book and I like how you explained Li...Elias  <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">
