You will be blogging 3 times a week during this novel unit.  Every week I will post 3 questions.  You will respond  to 2 of the 3 questions that I post.  Your third entry for the week will be a response to another student's entry.  Remember that when you are responding to another student's blog you are commenting positively and appropriately.

Blogging rules - 
  1. Use appropriate language.
  2. You may only blog about the book.  Nothing personal!
  3. You will not post any personal information (use first names only).
  4. Use proper grammar and spelling.

You must respond to 2 of the 3 following questions or thoughts - 
Week 4/9/2009 - 4/16/2009

1.) Barney's neighbors at the beach are very interested in seeing the inside of the rental house Barney's family is renting.  Why are the neighbors so interested in scratches marks on the wall?
2.) After a wind surfing trip to a remote island Barney finds a small rusty box the neighbor seem be mad, why?  What does Barney find in the box?
3.) On page 46 Zena says to Barney "You are going to have to stop being so prejudice and provincial..."  What does Zena mean?
