LIt Discussion

1. How your groups discussion helped your understanding of the novel.


My group discussion help me under stand the novel because you get to hear everyones opinion and what they think is going on in the book. If it is only your opinion you cant really get the best idea of the story. If you hear 2 or more opinions you will have the best understanding of the book you are reading. You also get a feel of what other people think about the book and get to share your ideas with the group. It mainly helped my understanding of the novel by getting to know other peoples ideas and what they think about the book.


Connections that you made during your discussion?


I made some connections in the book. These are some of the connections. The zoo in the book and the zoo in NZ and how Jacob didn't want to go Nebraska and that i didn't want to go to Malaysia.
In the zoo in the book it reminded me of the NZ zoo i remember going up to the meerkats and seeing them. When i got their and there were people looking at them they didn't really come out of there burrows. When everyone left and there were less people the meerkats would come out just like when Jacob went to the zoo and told how he only really saw the animals when people were'nt around they would come out. When Jacob found out he had to go to Nebraska he was mad. When i got told we had to move to Malaysia i was mad.


Predictions
I have two predictions they were i think JAcob will try to find his dad but then end up on the wrong flight and bill will come with him to Africa.
