Closure

So sorry this is late -- my time got hijacked immediately after school and I just finished portfolio conferences for the afternoon.

Anyway, before you read the final two chapters, please make some predictions about how the story will reach its climax and resolution.  After finishing, please return to the blog to comment and reflect on each others' predictions.

Major Concerns

Some of the most significant events in the whole story occurred in chapter 13 and neither question posted even begins to address these.  In fact, neither question makes it seem like you have even read this chapter, as neither question contains any specific detail or thoughtfulness about the chapter's events.  Furthermore, I really should not have to advise you against posting questions that can be answered with "yes" or "no."  I am disappointed in this effort and I am going to ask for no more responses to either one from anyone.  I would like each of you to post a thoughtful and relevant question for chapter 13.  We will wait to respond until you have done that.

chapter 13

Do you think that they will be able to walk the Nahanni river or not?

chapter 13

Do you think that they will get any other meat than rabbits or do you think they will starve?

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Do you think that Gabe, Raymond, and Johnny will be able to live in this cabin until the get help or hike on the ice along the Nahanni when the Chinooks end?

Chapter 12

Do you think the boys would be able to survive out in the far north long enough to get help?

Better Idea for Next Time

I'm guessing that the order of these posts might be confusing to you.  That couldn't be avoided, based on what I asked you to do.  I didn't anticipate this happening.  I think next time each of you should be responsible for one specific chapter so each person posts on a different chapter.  Please try to do your best with this weekend's arrangement.
