Home+reading+journal

This is where Brier will maintain his home reading journal. This way his Mother can monitor it on the road, post comments, ask questions, and otherwise be involved in this whole process. Let's give it a try... 1. Do the tutorial that comes with this wiki and briefly describe what you've learned: I learned that you could edit the page by clicking at the top of the page where it says edit page. You make a link by clicking the make link button on the tool-bar. You can change your wiki by clicking manage space and clicking look and feel. You can add pictures by clicking the link then clicking the palm tree. To add pictures you click browse. Then click the upload files you put the cursor on the page and then double click on the picture. You can upload files the same way. Star pages by opening the wiki and clicking the star at the top of the page.
 * __Questions for week of Nov. 27th-Dec. 3rd__**:

2. Relate an experience from your life or another book to an event in this book: One experience from this book that relates to my life is when the group of E.R.T.S members has to hide from the locals to survive. This relates to an experience from my life because when I was at Brad and Cory's I had to hide from Brad because he was it in hide and seek tag and I did not want to be found. The relationship is that I was hiding at Brad and Cory's house. In my book the people are hiding from the natives. The difference is they were hiding for thier life.

3. Quote a particularly interesting passage, including the page number. Explain what drew you to this passage: In my book gorillas are attacking the person named Ross only the females are attacking her. The males are trying to get her attention. That is very interesting because it seems that the gorillas can see the gender in a person even if they are another species that was on page 145. What draws me to this passage is that the gorillas can tell gender in a human.

4. Free choice: I think that the Munro is pretending to work for Ross but actually be working for the Consortium. I think that this is true because he is trying to waylay them by driving through military grounds on purpose. One more reason is that he is being suspicious by asking questions about Amy and the E.R.T.S expedition.

Questions for the week of Dec. 4-10th:

1. What are the elements of Congo that seem common to other books of this genre? One element is that the story has some of the information is true. Another way it is similar is that some of the information is untrue or wrong but that is to add a sense of fiction. Together these qualities are working together to create realistic fiction. 2. Overall, did you like this book? Give 3 reasons why or why not. I did like this book because it was very descriptive and gives good information on **the** Congo. Another reason I like this book is that it is **realistic but also un-realistic, realistic because the ape can speak sign language and, the setting is in the Congo, un-realistic because it never acually happened. (This needs to be explained. In what way?)**. The last reason I like this book is that t is involving because it is so realistic. 3. There is more than one culture reflected in this book. Are the cultures primarily antagonistic, or do they work together in a cooperative or synergistic manner? Give evidence to back up your position. The cultures are primarily antagonists. The reason is that they are competing with the antagonist culture for a **resources** called blue grade an 11 superconducting industrial diamonds. Another reason is that the kiakawa are cannibals and are chasing down the protagonists and trying to eat them. 4. Free choice In the book I just started reading the people are not humans they are elves. The elves are peoples with long black hair and blond hair usually tall and skinny. The elves are **daring** and bold hearted. The reason I know this is that they are always the first to be in the front lines and are the ones to take on the dangerous missions.
