David- nice, kind, likes Tally, hard working, and kind of the Smoke leader.

Find a picture to represent what you think the smoke looks like and post it on your blog with an explanation of why you chose it.                                                                                                                                                                               
                              I chose this pic, because the book says the outside of the Smoke  is tangly.
 
I chose this one, because it reminds me of the inside of the Smoke.
 I chose this one, because it reminds me of the road to the smoke, not as tangly as the first one, but it's still tangly.

List the important events in chronolgical order.

Respond to the following quote

"...Tally was stuck out here in the wild forever. Ugly for life. Her only way home was to betray her friend." If I were Tally, I would not even have to think about it. A promise is a promise, she promised Shay she wouldn't tell anyone where she went, she already broke that promise. The least she can do to make up for what she did is to not break another promise. The choice is obvious, she shoudn't betray Shay.

Have you ever made yourself do something that you didn't want to because you knew you had to?

Predict what you think will happen next.

Invent a dried food you would take with you on your journey if you were Tally. What would it be? How would you make it? I would take Chipot,(a food with chicken and potatos), Turkam,(a food with turkey and ham), Begg,(a food with bacon and eggs)

Make a list of things you would miss about your home if you were forced to leave it as Tally was. I would miss my family, my puppy, my friends, my teachers, my home, my school etc...

Why do you think Tally ultimately decides to figure out where Shay is? She is concerned for her friend, and wants to make sure she is ok. She wants to know what the "Smoke" is, and where her friend is living, and how she is living.
