So he didn’t have to tell what happened in that part of the book.

No it doesn’t because every book ive read has a prologue besides dive and island.

So the Hound could find his owner.

Excitement because he saved a dog from lots of other dogs.

By running away and going to get his dogs. I think he broke the rules because he was afraid that someone stole his dogs.

he loves his dogs more than anything.

Jay409 The novel dose start with a flash forward. The reason the author does this, because it is like his live. No it does not seem strange, yes it gives the start with a flash-back. He might he let the hound go, because the hound is heart. He feels sad and regret. He break his rules at home, because he needs his pups. He loves his pups then him self.

Giggles *I saw a girl in my grade (in 3rd grade) get picked on in the lunch room. We were eating and a boy told her to do something really inappropriate and she did it. She has autism and the boy tried to blame me for what happened. He got caught lieing and got in big trouble. I felt really bad for the girl. *The kids that were bullying probably felt powerful and tough that they were hurting someone else. The kid being picked on probably felt really bad and scared.
 * I would like to be the fastest man in the world. I wish I could run faster than anyone!
 * I once got in a fight with my older cousin Kameron. He hit me in the “mcnuggets” with a football. He did it on purpose and that made me really mad. I ran at him and he threw a punch at me but he missed. I started swinging and going crazy and he got scared and started crying. It was funny cause he is three years older than me. It felt good to hit him when he made me so mad.
 * I would like to try alligator meat.

Jay409 A time I was picked on is when I was at recess. I feel that a kid that is bullying me is sad. If I could pick a world record to break, I will be like to be famous.

Giggles I have made a text to self connection when I read this book. My connection was when we went to pick up our dog Fritz at the breeder’s house in Mason, Michigan. He was just a puppy then. I was really excited and had to wait for over a year for Fritz to even be born. Billy was so excited about getting his puppies that he couldn’t wait anymore and ran away from home to go get them himself. I get why Billy loved his dogs so much. I would have run away too if I had known how to get to Mason. I think I love my dog just as much as Billy loved his.

 * ** The climax is when Billy, Old Dan, and Little Ann get attacked by a mountain lion. I think it’s the climax because it’s the most exciting part of the book so far. Most people like action and so do I. The lion attacked and old dan tried to protect billy but the lion hurt old dan pretty bad. Little ann saved the day. I thought the dogs were going to die in that fight. That was my prediction. **
