1. If you knew Cloyd, what aspects of his personality would appeal to you? What aspects would bother you? Why? I like how he likes to get revenge he herts trees Cloyd's personality that would appeal me would be. His determination to find his father, and how gentle he is to the wildlife, because I think it's nice how he wants to see his father after his father left him after his mom died. A personality I wouldn't like is how he keeps on running away from someone or someting new. Danielle Q. His personality doesn't appeal to me because in the book it sounds like he has anger managements and won't reach out to Walter, but the conquering nature part I like. Will

how he is such a good worker and always does his hardest but it bothers me that he hates to talk or live with others, Ivan

I dont think i would really like the way he runs away when he gets mad. If I ran away every time that I got mad, I would have run away a lot. I like the way he loves nature. Also, piggybacking off danielle, i really like the determination he has to find his dad. I think that's really nice. -Amanda

2. Do you think Cloyd should have taken the bearstone from the burial sit ﻿No, because he isn't treating it with respect, and a dead person was holding it. Danielle Q. ﻿no No because it is not his and he found it in a box and a dead person was holding it. Emma F. no because his grandmother said to treat them with respect and stealing from them is not very respectful-Danny no becuase it's disrespecting the dead~Josh ﻿No, because it's not his and he should have left it where he found it! What if it was a a present from someones great grandmother and thats all they have left of them. Becky :o) No, because it' not his it's the dead persons he shouldn't have taken it. Sidney :) NO, because it is a secred burial ground it is probably bad luck to take and it isn't even his, Ivan No because your not even supposed to go in Indiand Burial sites it bad luck .Fortune ==No, because his grandmother said, "You may upset the spirit if you steal its belongings." and the stone belongs to the spirit who owns the body he saw sitting next to the pot where he found it. But it is kind of ok because he tried to send a messege to the spirit. Alaina == 3. Which character do you relate to the most? Why? Walter becasue he will make him lots of good food and I love to bake and cook! Emma F. Cloyd because i would like to do all the climbing and all the playing in the mountains and valleys, Ivan Walter becuase i'm kinda shy and want to please everyone sometimes~Josh

I can relate to Walter because he is very comforting and likes to lend a hand when Cloyd is trying to talk all of his anger out. I love supporting people when they are having a hard time with something. Although the only thing that makes Walter and I complete opposites is the fact that he is super shy and I am super social!!!!!- Serena :) ﻿ ﻿ I think that I relate most to Cloyd's house mother because she cares about Cloyd and other kids. I would care too. I think that caring about people is a good quality that I hope I have.  ﻿Walter, because he's so nice and gentle, and cares so much about Cloyd and his peach trees.
