**How would you feel being left on your own for a few months? Would you be able to survive? What would make you nervous? What would you be exited about?**
= =

 * -Squirt**
 * I would be nervous, lonely, and really scared. But if I had the right tools i think that I could survive pretty easily. But,the fact that there are Indians around that could be mean, would frighten me and keep me awake all night for sure. Yet, the freedom would excite me plenty and it would make me feel like someone really believed, and really trusted me.**


 * -fruitloop1**
 * I whould be so scared, and i whould be board to death without my friends! If i had all the tools like a knife,hammer, rope, and a lighter it whould be a blast! The indians of corse! Some of them could be very mean and have a gun and a knife and whould be very dangerous! I whould love not having to follow the rules for a few months but after a while I whouldnt like it anymore!**


 * -burn_nob**
 * I would be really scared, because when ever I am away from my parents I am really freaked. If I am left alone for a few hours thats ok but a few months not ok. With the right tools I could survive easily. Though with Indians around that could hurt you that is a problem. I probably want to have a gun around while in the house. Even though I am not a great hunter I would go out a find me some dinner. During the night I would keep my two dogs either on the bed or by the door. Again, the indians would make me nervous. When the boy in the story saw the stranger that would also make me nervus, because he might come back again when I am not there. I would be excited that my mom and dad finally trust me enough that they leave me alone. I also would not have to follow the rules for awhile but my rules are what I have to follow. After a while I would get sick of it and miss them a ton! :) (:**


 * french_fry-**
 * I will feel scared and lonely because my mom, my dad and my friends wouldn't be there with me. I wouldn't because I need mc.ds french fries and there are no french fries because there are no mc.ds any were and then I would because i can take a knife with me, so I can protect me! What would me nervous is indians coming to me and take me back to their village and i would not under stand them! I would be excited because I don't have too follow the rules and I don't have to do homework.**


 * dramaqueen15**
 * I would be scared because I won't have my family to support me. I woulden't have my dad's omlet every morning. because I can't get eggs, easy. I would beacouse I would have a knife to protect me, and a gun to hunt for food. indains because most of them won't understand that I come in peace not pieces. also I would be really exsiteing to fallow my oun actions and learn from them too.**

Nickleback: I would feel very sad and scared to be left on my own for a few mouths. No, I don't believe I could survive. I wouldn't be able to cook for myself so I would have to eat cold food. I would party and I would have fun.I would hope I wouldn't ever be left alone.

**Did he make a good choice by letting him in? What would you do in that same situation?**
f**ruitloop1-**
 * Oh yes! It is kinda of scary for the first few minutes and then you get youst to the feeling. I was left with instructions but not alot! I think you should not be aloud to go outside, answer the door, and eat a lot of food. But i am aloud to watch tv, play ps2, and all the things you can inside. I think Matt felt nervous and afraid at the same time, because he hasn't had this happen before and if it was an indian the indian could be a nice one or a mean one. Matt would defenetly prefer the nice one any day! I think he made a bad choice by letting him in because he could look nice but could also be very mean and also be a kiddnapper!**


 * French_fry-**


 * I have been left home alone when I was sick. I had to make my own lunch. I could not use the oven or anything that can get the house on fire. I can not answer the phone. I can't answer the door. My mom said that i have to lock the doors. He felt terrified and afraid, because he didn't know what to do. It never happen to him. I will scream and call 911. I will get a bat and run to the closet and lock the door till the police came.**

====I have been left at home on acsident when my mom left we where left waiting for the bus and my dad left early. We just moved so we did not know if we had school (we did). So we called the school. they said we had a teacher training so we had no school. So we called our mom and she sent a baby sitter to watch us.==== ====**Squirt-** **Yes, I have been left home alone a lot. The Responsibility felt really weird at fist but when i was use to it it was awesome.My responsibilities are : not to burn down the house and to finish all of my chores. My only rules are be good ( or else ) and don't let any strangers in the house. At first he felt it was okay but he then Knew he had done something stupid and he didn't know what to really do. No,he made a choice he ended up regretting. First, of all i wouldn't let him in, second, if i did knock him unconscious and drag him out far away and cover my tracks ( only if he was a bad guy though ).**==== ====**-burn_nob** **Yes I have been left at home for a while. I am there either to watch my brother or sister or myself. Once the responsibilities came out of my mom and dads mouth I figured those are normal responsibilities. The responsibilities were don't do anything to hurt you or the house, Don't mess up the softwear, don't hurt your brother or sister, don't let strangers in the house, don't answer the phone, and finish my chores. I think Matt felt nervous and scared because after he let him in he new that probably was the wrong choice. He made a bad chioce of just letting him in because he might come back and do worse next time. If I was in this same problem then first I would not let him in. If I did let him in then I would kick him in the nuts and take him far away from the house. I might even say bye bye and contact the police!**==== ====Nickleback: Yes I was home alone for five hours. It was my responsibility to do my homework when I got home. And I also had to do the dishes. Yes I was left with specific instruction. Some rules kids might have are; No starting a fire, no friends over, no talking on the phone, don't answer the door to stranger. He was angry and scared. HE was worried he would take his rifle. No he did not make a good choice in letting him in the cabin. No he did not make a good choice by letting Ben in by that he stile his rifle.I would hope that someone does not come in my house. ====

on in life to provide for your needs and wants (list 5 people and what they provide for you).
f**ruitloop1-**
 * For my number one choise I whould pick god! I have chosen him because if it wasn't for him I whould not be here right now. For my number two pick I chose my parents. I have chosen them because they provis me with a good shelter, good food, a good house, and a good clean inviorment. My number three seed I chose my teacher because he teaches me stuff so I can go to a good collage and if I didn't have him my brain whould be made of cottage cheese foo! For my fourth pick i chose my friend because they provide me with someone to talk to and someone to play with. Last but not least for my fifth seed is animals because they also provide me with someone to play with and pet!**


 * Squirt-**
 * One, I depend on my mom and dad for most things like food, clothing, and a place to live. Two, my present and past teachers, because without them my brain would also end up like Mr. T and his funky hairdo said it would if i didn't put my name on my entries. Three, my freinds and family to cheer me up when i really need it or just for someone to talk to. Fourth, animals like cows and plants that slow the climate change without them we'd all be well, I don't really know, I guess we'd cooked alive . Fith, the government because they guide our country and sometimes keep us away fom war ( neither party does a good job ,but** //__MOST__// **of the Republicans just do what is good for them instead of fighting Global Warming and saving the polar bears ).**


 * - burn_nob**
 * My number one choice would be God. He would be my number one choice because he can get you through anything. I think he should be anyones number one choice. In my beliefs he made this world and you are part of it. I think It would be the best person to come in first place. I think we can depend on him pretty easily. My second would be mom and dad. They would be my next choice because they help me through the up and the downs. They feally support me. when ever I need help they help me. My third chioce would be my grandparents. They play such a big role in my life. They come to me when I need help or if I am hurt. They come to my basketball games. Three cheers for grandparents! Next my brother and sister. They are the best I could ever have. I think I would be board with out them. With all of their excitment it is a riot with haveing them in my life. Next would be my aunts and relitives. They are a big part of my life too. They get me all confident with myself. They come when I mneed them really badly. Like if I am hurt and in the hospital they will be there. These are some wonderful people in my life I hope you think they are wonderful too.**


 * french_fry-**
 * First my parents take care of my wants and my need. I need food and I want clothes. My teacher helps me learn Math so I can get better. So I can go to collage. I have a sis who is always there when my parents can't help with me**.

dramaqueen15 My number one choice would be my parents because they provide me my food. Second choice would be my dog because he would be guarding me through the sad and the scary moments. My last but strongest person (spirit) is __//**GOD.**//__ He would guide me through the times I gave up.

nickleback: I would want my mom to help me because she gives me food.I would want my dad to help me because he is strange and he gives me meet because he hunts a lot. I would want my brother to help me because he is my big brother and he helps me at my homework. I would want my couisne to help me because he is my best friend and he like me. I would want my other cousine kyle to help me because he is very funny and very friendly to so that is wy I want them to help me.

Connecting prior knowledge and experience to reading deepens comprehension. I would like you to explain one type of connection that you've made with the book you've been reading.**
 * __Response on Connections:__
 * __List__ and __explain__ the __type of connection made__ & __answer how this helped you to understand the story better__.**




 * inserted by burn nob

The four types of connections are: Text-to-Text (T-T) These connections made between the text and you are reading and what you have read elsewhere.

Text-to-World (T-W) These are connections made between the text you are reading and the bigger issues and events going on in the world.

Text-to-Self (T-S) These are connections made between the text you are reading and your own experiences.

Text-Within-Text (T-W-T) These are connections made between the text you are reading and another section of the same text.**


 * - burn_nob**
 * text to text**
 * This book is a lot like Indain in the coboard because they both have indains in them and they both have some suvival.**
 * text to world**
 * this book has a lot of simerlaraties with the world. You need to survive in the world. There is some indains in the world. They might not be too survivalish but they nare still indains.**
 * text to self**
 * Well this book is kind of like me but not much. Well, I have to survive in a tent and the outdoors when I go camping. I also have been left alone for a while. I have made some foolish mastakes too.**
 * text within text**
 * When Matt has to teach Attean how to read and the alpha bet is like when Attean teaches Matt a better way to fish. There is a connection between those two sections because they are both teaching each other something. They are both showing each other some of thier own talents. They are also having fun doing it. They have a great time doing it, well sometimes.**

**Squirt- T-t-T = I can not think of any text to text connections because I don't usually read this type of historical fiction. But if I did know one at the moment one i would have it up**

====** T-t-S= The book and I have a few similarities, like Matt and I have both been left alone for along time in th middle of nowhere. I like to read books that have lot's of adventure in them, like his __Robinson Crusoe__  book is like my __Lightning Thief__ **====

__dramaqueen15__
T-T:this story sortove relaites to __Grisley Adams.__ T-W:there is really no connections I know of that relait T-W. T-S :there is really none between me and the text. T-W-T:?!? what does that mean?!?f**ruitloop1-**


 * T-t-T= I really can not think of any books that are like this, but I think any books like Mark Twain, Sacajawea, or any other books with famous Americans that survive in the wild!**


 * T-t-W= There is a big connection in the book to the world! The one I can Think about is people that are very poor and don't have any money might have to survive in the woods to get food. Also people that hunt might stay in the woods for a few days to try to get very good game and big animals!**


 * T-t-S= I have alot of the same similarities with Matt. The one big one is that I have been left alone in the middle of nowhere in the woods before with no tools or food! Also I had to make a shelter and that stunk!**


 * T-w-T= Atten taught Matt how to make a good snare and a gook fishing hook! In return Matt showed Atten how to read part of** __**Robinson Crusoe**__

Attean then shares a story with Matt from his tribe's lore. What was the point of his story? How did Matt respond??
dramaqueen15- I think he should recemend Junie B. Jones because it is easier for beginners. his story meant that if you give something and you get more back (carma)!


 * Squirt-**
 * I would recommend Lighting Thief, The Operation Red Jericho series, and The Eragon Series. Because they all are books with great description and really get you hooked right away and have lot's of action. It was like an Indian version of Noah and his ark. Matt noticed that it had major similarities which amazed Matt and left him dumbfounded.**


 * fruitloop1- I would strongly recomend also the book The Lightning Thief, The Book Tuck Everlasting, and the book series The Maximum Ride. Because They are all books that Attene Would like, because they have mysteries in them also very good description and you also get hooked on it very fast. Also a lot of action. I'm not trying to copy Kurt but I also think that story is reasonable. These books had very goos simularties!**


 * -burn nob**
 * I would reccomend lightning thief, eragon series, magic treehouse series, narnia, or any other mystery books. I would reccomend those books because he would be excited to read more and they have action in them. They crusoe book was a good book on Matts part because Attean was really excited to read more. The story Attean told was basicly a Indain like version of Noah and the Ark. It had a lot of simerlarites to the regular version of the story. At the end Like Squirt said Matt was dumbfounded. I think that was a great story to tell because when matt or if matt left Attean dumbfounded that just says this is how it feals. I think I would like the story Attean told. :)**

french_fry I would recommand the lightning theif because its fantansy and it has 3 headed dogs and it is make beleive. The book that Atttean had read to Matt was about Noah. Matt said there was lots of similarities. He never thought that there were lots of similaritties.

DIFFERENCE between each boy's response to the end result.
dramaqueen15 matt thinks he is leading him and attean tosave a animal but they ran into a bear cuub and a mamma bear. there was a guy that was hunting and shot the bear right in front of them. attean got to keep the meat but matt got to come over and celibrate with the indians.

fruitloop1- The sitauation was when he was asked by Atteans grandfather to come with them to go on the big hunt! Matt couldn't choose what to to do for a while. But Matt couldn't he had to take care of his cabin. Plus he knew that his family is okay and they would be here soon to see him. But the he decided to stay. But hr had lost his friend!!

Squirt- A sticky situation that Matt was in was when he was asked by Attean's Grandfather to come along with them int he big hunt.It troubled Matt for quite awhile. But Matt had the responsibility of taking care of the cabin. Plus Matt knows that his family is okay and will be there soon. Matt decided to stay. But He lost his friend, and the help and kindness of the Indians.

burn nob- Matt has a choice of going to stay and live with the indains for a long time till winter is over.Matt said no because he knew it was the right thing to do. His dad, witch he thought and still thinks is coming back, would tell him this is the right choice. Attean and the tribe had uderstanded matt's thoughts and agree with him a bit. Even thogh this was a great way to not have to be lonly and scared. He would not have to worry about the lessons. He lost his friend though and he was not too excited about that. At the last min. he wanted to change his mind but did not. I think he made the right choice.

French_fry It is when Atteans grandfather asked mMattt to come too the big hunt. He new that his family was ok and be home soon.He had trouble for a while. Matt had to take care of the cabin. So he picked to stay. Matt lost his friends. He also lost the indians. The novel ends with a reunion. What discovery did Matt make about himself during the choices & trials he faced? How was the setting & ending different than if the novel took place during today instead of in the 1700s? What was the author's purpose for writing Sign of the Beaver? How much did you enjoy the novel? What was your favorite part?**
 * __Day 6 - 6 questions to answer__

Squirt- He discovered that he had made the right choice by staying. If it took place today it would proboly be a small town liker the one that we live in.I think that the purpose was to show you how the Indians had to move around alot and how places in the wilderness grew into towns and even cities I thought that it was an okay book, but it needed more action .My favorite part was when Attean taught Matt to fish with a better hook.


 * fruitloop1- He had to make the choice and he knew that he had to stay. If this would have been today it would have taken place in a little town kinda like The Little House On The Prairie. The pourpose of this was to show people kinda what the indians had to go through and how they had to take care of there own self. I thought it was an preaty good book it was not that intristing and it needed more detail. My favroit part was when Matt showed Ateane how to read.**


 * french_fry

He was glad that he stayed and not go with Atteans grandfather. I think it will be a small town on Kid Nation. Like an old town like ares that looks like country. I think it showed you how indians survive and how they grow up. I enjoyed it a lot but in some parts it was boring. My favorite part was when Matt got a bowing arrow and Matt was happy he got one.**

when matt reads to and "lives with" indians.**
 * dramaqueeni15

The novel ends really good because he gets to see his sister and his whole family. That was my favorite part because they are all finally together now and I like that. He was really looking forward to having his sister and his family together. I would be too. The settings would be different because there would not be too many trees, there would be more stores, and there would be more rodes. this would be good in some ways in others not at all. it also for today would be more like spring/fall. It is really nice out right now. I think the purpose of the writing is that even when you are left alone that you can be safe and Indians are not mean. also if you are different than other people that is a OK. There are plenty of different meanings too but this is what I think. You might think different, that is o.k. I really enjoyed this novel a lot. LOL!**
