Dear Daniel,

Hello, my name is Merina Shaban and was just reading the book Julie of the Wolves. I was just wondering why you were so rude to Miyax? If your friends think it's okay to mate a girl at the age of thirteen, do you think it's alright? You are really disgusting and a pervert. Wanting to do something at such a young age with her is horribly weird. All I'm trying to say is you should think over what you do before you do it. Imagine being in her position, what would you do? She couldn't hit you cause it wasn't working! She would hit you and hit you, and defend herself but it was as if you just felt a feather poke you! It wasn't even tradition to marry at a young age so you should just accept that, you don't need to mate with your wife until you are about 25. YOU REALLY DISGUST ME! Don't you even feel slightly bad and regret what you did? Wouldn't everything work out if you just stoped, thought about it, then just GIVE UP?!

I wish you knew that what people say means nothing really, what you know, now that is something really important. Be smart, even I, a eleven year old would know that is not a smart thing to do. What makes it worse is, I'M YOUNGER THAN YOU, and still, you find it okay to be a PERVERT! Now all there is left to say is ew!Ewwwww, ew, eW,Ew,EW!

Write back,

Merina Shaban

P.S. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Julie of the Wolves Blog post #3

I noticed a big change in Julie/Miyax's characteristics. In the beginning she was very useless. Since she was lost she was very weak and just depended on the wolves to get her food, but by the end she was hunting for herself! She began hunting and the patience she put into it was all worth it; soon after, hunting became very easy and she made it a priorety. She didn't fully mature just from hunting, but when the wolves dissapeared to migrate, she had to be on her own and with that she grew mentaly and physically. She learned more ways to survive which helped he mentaly, and she did a lot of active activities which helped her physically. After what I read pages 1-147, I really saw her mature more! Julie/Miyax saw Jello, Amaroq, and Kapu die before her eyes, most thirteen year olds can't stand watching animals die and would be scarred for life!

Julie of the Wolves Literature Circles #2

In the current Literature Circle discussion, I think I did excellent on staying on task because anything that I would say would always have to do with Julie of the Wolves. When someone was talking I made sure I never interrupted or stopped listening to them at all.

This time I made sure my passages were clear and had the exact explanation. In the questions I had three clear and they seem like questions a lot of people are always wondering. The vocabulary was a bit hard to find because the book didn't have much hard words so I'm not so happy about them. I'm not confident about the vocabulary; although, I'm not so stressed about them so it's also good.

In all, if I had to rate my disscussion AND the Literature Circle sheet out of ten I would rate it a nine point five due to the vocabulary. So I actually think I did VERY well for the second Literature Circles but I'm hoping I would rate myself a 10/10 instead of a 9.5 just a half a point away!
:D

had a dictionary or a thesaurus next to them to give them the answers. I think my passages were long, complete, but not clearly explained. The information I wrote were unclear because I wrote which page that interested me, why it interested me but I don't think I was specific with the exact parts I liked. For example, I liked this page because... What I should of I couldn't participate in the group due to late homework; however, I am confident about the work I had done and how it was set up. My questions were long and so were my responses. My vocabulary words were not just easy words I knew the answer to, and if someone were to look at the words in sixth grade, surely they wouldn't understand them unless they written was, In this page on the third paragraph I noticed the varieties of ...

I practiced my discussion and home and although I didn't get to participate in the group discussion because I was unorganized I had though studied a lot for it. Persionally, I think I did well!
