I have a text to self when it he ws in th busk plane. I put that down because when I was eight my parents let me go in a glider for a ride. While I was in the plane we went to a lake but Im not sure what it was called. But the fun part was when he would go up then go into a dive.

ReplyDeleteHey Bob I liked your comment
ReplyDeleteI liked this chapter, it was pretty intresting. The only parts I thought were kind of weard were the part about the way the pilot smelled, and when the pilot had a heart attack.I thought it would be cool to fly bush plane. I pretty much understanded the chapter so I had no vocab words. And I don't really have any conections besides the fact that I have ridden in a plane before.
ReplyDeleteDuuuuuuuuuuude(Dude)

ReplyDeleteBOB
I think it was grose when the pilot was farting.
ReplyDeleteJosephine
my connection for this chapter is that i have been in a single engine plane before at the smithsonia mueseum of flight just like brian. It was an exhibit that you could go in so i could make the fins go up with the pedals and use the steering wheel.

ReplyDeleteJosephine
I did not have any connections in chapter 2.
ReplyDeleteThis chapter was about Brian in the plane flying it and calling for help on the radio. He gets ahold of someone but loses him. Then he ran out of gas and threw up.
BOB
HI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSpiderman put a r in your name!

ReplyDeleteWhat made me think of a conection was when the book said the engine stalled and then he puked. Well my conection is I have been in a glider where the pilot went up and then went into a dive and I got sick. I know how Brian feels to be scared. When the pilot went onto the dive everything in the plane was like floating.
ReplyDeleteWhat made me think of this qyestion was when the book said he puked. Well my question is did he puke because he thought he was going to die.
ReplyDeletejoesephine
I have one connection which is I have thrown up before so I know that Brian did not feel good when he threw up.This was at the end of the chapter when the plane ran out of gas.
ReplyDeleteBOB
Right at the end of the chapter I made a prediction that Brian might die of get serriously injured.
ReplyDeleteJoesphine
My prediction to this chapter is. I think that when he tries to land in a lake he wont be able to find a lake to land in. I came up with this because with the luck Brian has ben having on the plane.
ReplyDeleteSpideman
Hey bob this comment is to you and I wanted to say that I have puked before in a plane so I know how you felt.
ReplyDeleteJoesephine
I predict that Brian will be in the wilderness and be scared and have to use his hatchet to help him survive.

My connection for this chapter is that i have thrown up before. The part of the story that this connection goes to is when brian is rideing in the one engine plane and throws up. My connection relates to the story because i know that when brian throws up when he starts to go down in the plane he did not feel to good and i am sure the throwup did not taste good either. I could understand the story better because as i said i knew how brian felt. to be continued in the next one.
ReplyDeleteMy connection in chapter two is that I watched a show where two guys went to a nasa flight simulation to see if someone with no flight expeirence could land a plane by useing a headset radio. This connection helped me understand what Brian was going threw because I know what the two guys looked like before they used the radio. They were looking all over the place because they didn't know what controls did what and they didn't know what to do. I also know what the cockpip looked like with all the switches and such. Duuuuuude (Dude) part: 1
ReplyDeletepart: 2 I predict that Brian is going to crash into the lake, I think this because Brian said he was going to try to land in the lake to try to make a safer landing. When I was reading chapter and I read the part about the lake I pitchered Brian crashing into the lake.
