Our group is reading a book, called Maroo of winter caves.It is about a girl who lived in the Paleolithic age, whose life was difficult to support a village community. I also want to tell you one passage to persuade you to read the book.
One of my favorite passages is on page 20, in which Maroo and Otak saw a lonely puppy with her wounded mother probably attacked by a wolve. Maroo was thinking if she should let the dog die or live, because her tribe was a rival to dogs for they used to eat their food and leave nothing for the starving people in her village. But Maroo still took the dog because she knew a tribe from a different tribe called the Blue Lake tribe. The man had a dog and domesticated it to be a trained dog, and Maroo thought if he could, why couldn't she? She tried to touch the dog, but it snarled at her viciously. I think the dog was in a bad mood not to talk to anyone because her leg was wounded. My group was interested in the passage I picked.
My understanding of this passage is good, because this gave me a thought of what is going to happen in the next chapter. Consequently, this made me to look forward and to read more.
Dara chose an interesting passage. I agree with Dara that the dog is an important part in story. But one of my questions for Dara is what was the thought that you thought which made you excited? I would answer that question because I feel that the dog will have an important part in the story because when Maroo whistles to the dog on PG 33, she whistles to the dog and he comes. I think that this was the the turning point. One of my predictions for Rivo was maybe he would save the tribe by hunting or finding help when they need it.
