Still bleeding, he stood erect, surveyed the platform and saw that it was too small, too uneven, and too high above the water for a god triumph ritual. The tribe watched him, dazed, seemingly without minds of their on, and when he made a gesture of command and plunged into the water they followed him, but reluctantly and with many stragglers, down beside the steep, dark cliff to a shingly bay between that headland and the next.”//
 * 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.

I chose this paragraph because when I read it, I can see the things it describes happening. I can picture the tribe following Greb, with a lot of stragglers. Even though I think that this paragraph is sad, it’s really descriptive. When I read this paragraph, it’s like I’m watching a movie instead of reading a book.

//“Li rocked above it, yelling with terror and clutching Greb’s mane to keep herself from falling.”//

I chose this sentence because when I read it, I can picture the scene happening. I can see a short girl riding Greb, trying not to fall. I think that the word //“clutching”//  is very good description and is a lot better than holding on to. When the author writes //“clutching”// , it helps me understand better that Li is scared of falling off and the only thing that she has to hold onto is Greb’s hair.

Perhaps the volcano will erupt and Li's tribe will have to escape. Anyway, I think that Li's tribe will end up on the main land and they will need Li's assistance to survive. Since Li thinks about problems in a different way than the rest of her tribe, she will be able to help them survive. What do you predict will happen next to Vinny and her dad? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I think that Vinny will find a bone of Li when she goes out looking for fossils. I think that with the fossil that Vinny will find, she will be able to prove to her dad that the reason we don't have fur is that our ancestors lived mostly in the water. I also think that Vinny and her dad will get closer after their time together. ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; 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. ===

Other members of her kind just went on with their lives normally, doing the same things over and over. Li, unlike them, thought about different things constantly and wanted to find original solution to those problems. One way that Li was different, is that during the shark hunt, instead of rushing at the shark and throwing stones at it, Li used logic and found a pattern. No one else in the tribe could have done that. Another example is that Li found another way to catch shrimp.That way included using a materiel like a net, while the others in her tribe just used their hands. So, Li is able to invent things and think about solving problems a different way, and the others of her kind weren't doing anything different. === <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; 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: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">First Two Chapters:

I really like the first two chapters of Bone From a Dry Sea. I think that both the main characters are interesting. It’s cool how their lives are so different even though they walked on the same ground. I especially like Li because she is really smart. She got food for her tribe by killing a shark. I feel sorry for Vinny because she has to go work with her dad when she doesn’t want to. Overall, I really like the book so far and I can’t wait until I read more. Elizabeth I love the description in your paragraph. I can't wait to read more too! ~Alex
