  1. I am the artful artist while reading my book i have read intersting things.One of my pictures was about a lion taking Roalds freinds wife.In the picture i drew a lion biting a girl and the two men trying to save her.In the end the two men Roald and his freind shot the lion and glazed the lion making it let go of the girl the lion ran off and the girl was safe.Turns out that the lion never bit the girl hard just lipped her like she was one of her/his very own cubs. What would you do in a situation that a lion had your freind?

  2. My role is the discussion director.What that is ,is writing 5 questions about the text you just read and disscuss them with yuor litiuar circle .Would you have been suprised when royal found out that mdisho took his sword if so why if not what were you thinking.I was feeling suprised because from what i8 have read in the book mdisho has been loyal to his master and obeyed him.Iguess that he was pretty wound up when he found out about the whole war with the germans.I think that when he saw royals sword he just felt like he had power and went out and killed the german man in thw white house

  4. my role is liteary luminary 1.why do you think the lion was carrying the chefs wife so lightly?Explain your anser. I think that the lion was carrying the chefs wife so lightly because he might have wanted the lions cubs to wat her alive or maybe he thaught that she was one of his cubs. what do you think?

  5. I agree with you Tiffany because loyal people that are loyal should not steal they should do the right thing.It would of been easier to ask for the sword than to just take it.

  6. Austin i beleve that the lion wasnt carrying the wife hard because she wasnt fightin or being threating so the lion was not threataned making it seem that she is freindly and not a predator.

  7. logan if a lion toook my friend i would try to either jump on it or i would chase it.also i would try to kill it.

  8. I remember when that lion had took the chefs wife . That was terrifying because when I was reading i did not know what was going to happend.It was good that the wife was safe because imagine if the lion had killed ate the chefs wife he would of been really sad.All that running and chasing after that lion and he killed the wife

  9. Makir i think people join the military for many reasons but only 4 come to mind.Those are for duty,brotherhood,family,and freedom.

    ReplyDelete
  10. iwould try to do the same thing that roald friends did and then get help

    ReplyDelete
  11. makir i think that people join the military because people want to expierence it and maybe they want to learn and know alot more about war.

  12. I think that the lion carried the chefs wife because i think the lion did not really mesn to hurt the women i think that he/she was holding the women as if she was her own cubs . to me most animals are not naturally mean it s just they are pretective so when the lion took the women it did not really mean to hurt her

    ReplyDelete
  13. i think Tiffaney is right to logan because loyal people are good people and dont steal

  14. I am literary luminary and picked the paragraph ''pitty about the dog. you'd better take it out the way before the children see it''. i picked that paragraph because the children were so sad because they didnt have their ddog and now it's dead.

    what do you think the children will do when they find out their dog is dead?

    ReplyDelete
  15. my job was the discussion director.1 do you think that roalds mom will notice him when he returns home(after crash roald had to get new facial? features)why? 2 do you think roalds boy will join his countrys military force?explain why. 3 who do you think the man roald gave the package to?do you think he will play a major role? why?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Austin i really think that the lion was carrying the chefs wife really lightley because it needed help or it was taking fod to his cubs or family

    ReplyDelete
  17. well flor, I think that the children will cry and sob out because if i ever lost one of my dogs I know that i would be very sad and save money for a new dog

  18. My role was Artful artist I drew the German man giving Roald a hard time and him raising his arms saying to fire the cannon and the man dying.I picked this part of the book because it was a exciting part,and I thought Roald would of died.What do you think would of happened if Roald didnt raise his arms and kill the man?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Brinen i think that they will not notice him until he tells her.

  20. My role was Wordsmith and the words that I chose to point out were barracks, vigorous, appendix, eccentricities, and cantharides. I chose these words because I do not know what they mean entirely. Barracks is a place of some sort, vigorous is an adjective, appendix is a body part, eccentricities is a possesion of some sort, and cantharides is some sort of food or drink. As for my thoughts on the book, I happen to think that the story is quite interesting and even though I found a few words I didn't understand, I was still able to enjoy the book. My question to the members of my group is, did you find any words that you did not understand?

  21. well flor im sure they would realize within the first twenty minutes or so but the parents would probly tell them imediatley

    ReplyDelete
  22. Austin M I dissagree with your comment on that people go to war to just experience and to learn alot more about it. People go to war to keep the country they belive in safe and to show pride in their country.

    ReplyDelete
  23. To Flor, I believe that the children will be quite forlorn when they find out the news about their dog dying, in fact, they might cry their eyes out! I know I wouldn't be happy if my dog died (I don't own a dog, though).

    ReplyDelete
  24. Brinen i also think they will cry and want their dog back and maybe they will get another dog that lookslike the one that got bitten by the snake and the children wont notice

    ReplyDelete
  25. Brinen i think your right but it might take them a little more time because they havent seen him in a while

    ReplyDelete
  26. katie i found that part very exciting as well i thought roald would not have the guts to open fire on the germans but one of my favorite parts if you have gotten to it yet was the plane crash i thought with the medical condition he sufferd from the crash such as the blindness he would not fly but he got right back to his plane.

  27. To Makir, I think people join the military now because it really helps our country, especially during wars like this one. I don't know if I'd ever like to join the military though.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Evan your right they would cry their eyes out and i would be really really sad too

    ReplyDelete
  29. Brinen I disagree and think the parents wont bring it up til the kids do, since they cared deeply about the dog and the parents would want to save the tears.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Makir i think people join the military because they want our country to be free and want to learn how it is being in war

    ReplyDelete
  31. I didnt get to that part but it does sound exciting!

    ReplyDelete
  32. katie how do you think the children will react to what happened to their dog

    ReplyDelete
  33. Im the lit. lummnary. I chose the paragraph where roald said,"and my nose was bashed in" I said to my self OOOOUUUUCCCCHHH! What did you say/think/feel?

    ReplyDelete
  34. I was artful artist. I drew a picture of a hurricane with the guns atached to it. it is in the air over the moutains in greece. chasing the ju88's. i thought that part was exciting
    the question to the picture was"WHY DO YOU THINK ROALD DAHL JOINED THE AIRFORCE ? EXPLAIN

    ReplyDelete
  35. I am text connecter,and this book relates to me becausesince the book talks about a war and that me thinks about the war in Afghanistan.How do you think the war in the story will end?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hasan I think Roald joined the R.A.F because he wanted to fight for what is right.

    ReplyDelete
  37. My role is text connector and I made some connections like when I was younger there was a snake in my back yard and at my Aunts house there was a snake in her bathroom and that all relates to the snake going into the Fuller's house in the story.I felt scared. Would you like to have a green mamba as a pet and why?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Your right danny but the R.A.F was in the air force.THE r.a.f was a squadrin or his squadrin

    ReplyDelete
  39. My role was discussion director.
    Would you catch a zebera and train it to ride? Why or Why not.
    I would not do that because you don't know the zeberas background and then once the zebera is trainned it may enjoy having to give people rides. What do you think?

    ReplyDelete
  40. kush I think that Roalds side will win because from background knolage I know that the germans lose

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'm the discution directer and I can now relat to when they found the green mamba. My cat was found past on in the kitchen like the dog. My sisters were like the kids that remembered the dog in the first place. I liked the part when the venom of the green mamba is ozing down the side of snakemans boots. Also, I can relat to the snakeman because I love learning, holding, and studying all about snakes

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hasan I Ronald Dahl joined the R.A.F. because he most likely wanted to serve his country.

    ReplyDelete
  43. KUSH you are right but i have to turn you down on this one. this war is the germans trying to take over the world this one involves alot of other stuff

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'm artful artist and I drew a picture of Roald Dahl's servant holding a sword with the blood of the germani in the threshold of the door.I drew this because at the time I didn't know the blood was the germani's ,so I was afraid for Roald Dahl.I was going to ask "How would you feel if someone came through your door with a sword?What would you do?Why?

  45. hasan the RAF stands for Royal Air Force meaning that it is its own air force for eurpope

    ReplyDelete
  46. my role is text connector and text to text this book reminds me of a tv show called army wives when thier husbands that are in the army. my job is to make connections too things i have seen or have knowledge of and to write questions. why do you think people are joining the military now?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Hasan I think that Roald joined the AirForce because he want to fright or do something the he thought was right and for what he belived in.

    ReplyDelete
  48. No Marisa I would not ride a zebra because im not a big fan of animals really.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I am disscosion diretor and when I heard that Roald's "boy" killed the rich german at the top of the hill I was shocked! That type of violence is not necessary ,all he had to do is send him to a P.O.W camp. What do you guys think?

    ReplyDelete
  50. Yea Hasan I no I messed up while writing and the book doesnt relate to me it relates to the world.

    ReplyDelete
  51. iF SOMEBODY CAME THROUGH MY DOOR WITH A SWORD I WOULD STOP WHAT IM DOING BECAUSE I NEED TO SAVE MY SELF. ANY COMMENTS ON THIS ANY BODY?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Sam m. 1 question what does 'germani' mean?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Sam I would be very scared because the local natives all had swords so I would not really no who it is so of course I would be scared.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Kush P. I have an answer for you.I think the war in he book will not end during this book. Also Roald Dahl will drop out of the RAF ,because he can't get over being cramped in the plane.

    ReplyDelete
  56. what about being in a war in the first place that is scary for the troop and the people who get bombed conatantally. any body have somthing to ad




    (please comment)

  57. brittanyp... No. I don't think that having a green mamba for a pet will be a good idea because of how venomous they are. Also, what if it got loose? You, your family, and pets would be in danger plus if you didn't know... bye bye to you. But, on the other hand it would be cool to have a VERY venomous snake in my houes. Please comment back.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Marisa S, I would not want to train a zebra to ride it because just like you said, you don't know how they will react to you unless you are a zebra expert.I know I'm not a zebra expert.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Well Sam if someone came through my door with a sword I would call 911 and run away as fast as i can.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I,d have to agree with Hasan, Kush Germany was trying to take over the world but they had so many fronts to cover they couldn't like the African campain , the eastern campain and the western campain.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Sam M. what does germani mean

    ReplyDelete
  62. Hasan S. I think Roald Dahl joined the airforce because he loves his country.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Logan C,
    I totally agree with you because my Poppop joined the military right out of high school at the age of 18.He has 38 years in the military and just returned from a year deployment from Iraq.
