  1. Summary

    Brian was getting the wood for the fire before he went to sleep. After Brian got the wood he realized that the smoke from the fire keeps the bugs away. He went to sleep for a little while then he was woken up by the sound of an animal in the cave. After the animal had left he walked over to a pile of sand and dug down to find a batch of eggs. He then realized that a turtle had been there. Brian picked up an egg and ate it but he didn’t like the taste of it. After he ate it he just hoped he would stay alive.

  4. On this chapter I am the character annalist one thing I saw was Brian was so protective because he would not leave the fire that is why I think that Brian was protective I found this part at the beginning. I also found that he is thinking a head and being caution person because he was thinking about the fire. And some where near the end he has the smarts to make a signal fire.

  5. The summary for chapter ten is Brian finds a path in the sand that leads to a pile of sand and Brian then digs where the pile is and finds some eggs and he has to eat them raw.

  6. A vocabulary word I had is sloshing. I picked this word because you don’t hear it a lot. Sloshing means,
    Sloshing
    One entry found.
    Main Entry: 2slosh
    Function: verb
    Date: 1844
    intransitive verb
    1 : to flounder or splash through water, mud, or slush 2 : to move with a splashing motion transitive verb 1 : to splash about in liquid 2 : to splash (a liquid) about or on something 3 : to splash with liquid.
    Sloshing fits into the story because Brian heard something sloshing into the water at the shoreline. Another word I had was “awakened.” I picked this word because awakened is not a very popular word. Awakened means,
    Awakened
    One entry found.
    Main Entry: awak•en
    Pronunciation: \ə-ˈwā-kən\
    Function: verb
    Inflected Form(s): awak•ened; awak•en•ing \-ˈwāk-niŋ, -ˈwā-kə-\
    Etymology: Middle English, from Old English awæcnian, from a- + wæcnian to waken
    Date: before 12th century
    : AWAKE
    Awakened fits into the story because Brian slept hard and wasn’t sure what awakened him. Another word I had was “crackle.” I picked this word because it would be hard to understand the picture if you don’t know what crackle means. Crackle means,
    crackle
    Main Entry: 1crack•le
    Pronunciation: \ˈkra-kəl\
    Function: verb
    Inflected Form(s): crack•led; crack•ling /k(ə-)liŋ\

    intransitive verb1 a: to make small sharp sudden repeated noises b: to show animation : SPARKLE 2: CRAZE 3transitive verb: to crush or crack with snapping noises

    Crackle fits into the story because the fire was making crackle sounds.

    Do you think it was just the smoke or the kind of wood he was burning?

    How long did it take Brian to start the fire?
