RYDER
MY OPINION IS WHEN THEY WENT TO SHEBAS HUT THEY USED NOUN GROUPS DESCRIBING SHEBA AND I CAN JUST IMAGINE SHEBA AS AN UGLY OLD WITCH IN MY HEAD.  LIKE WHEN IT SAID THE FLAMING EYES FROM THE FIRE.

I'm enjoying the parts were they talk about Rin's history. It makes me feel like this whole dragon thing might have a patteren or be a part of a cycle. In times when they talk about the fire burning the house it really makes me feel bad for rowan and makes me understand why feels how he does. Also, I find it very intrieging when they talk about Aluun's historyhow he's only half blood and how his dad was a traveler who died defending Rin in the War Of The Plains. It,s fun to know what there ancestors thought of the valley. Some examples are when they say 'They saw a stream, and a pool, and a herd of grey beasts that lifted there heads to stare, horns shining in the sun. They saw silence, stillness and rich earth and peace. ' and thats all for today.

Louis says: I'm interested in why Sheba said that "seven hearts the journey make" when actually only 6 are going on the quest. I think this means another is going or Sheba is, like Bronden says, a useless hag.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the tension for example ,by night fall even that small flow had stoped.
I enjoy when Rowan did not care when he got hit on the head.

I liked the good noun groups that described Rowan and his feelings . Emily Rodda used noun groups such as'scared little rabbit'

# data[].attributes.body
I found interesting  how the Author described how weird Sheba is in the best words like 'That Narley old woman stroked those cheese's like they were a cat' and 'that witch can turn you into a slug!'

# data[].attributes.body
The thing that I find interesting is when Sheba told them the riddle 'Seven hearts the journey make, Seven ways the hearts will break, Bravest heart will carry on, When sleep is death and hope is gone, Look in te fiery jaws of fear, And see the answer white and clear, Then throw away all thoughts of home, For only then your quest is done.'

# data[].attributes.body
In this Quest Novel sofar I am interested in how they're going to get up the mountain and how they feel about going up the mountain on page 27 in paragraph 1 it says, "Still I think the party is to small yet.  You need 1 more."  This may meen they are nervouse, scared or worried about going to the mountain where the dragon is with only 5 people.  Also there was lots of mystery in the story especialy when Sheba told the ridddle.
"Seven hearts the journey make.
Seven ways the hearts will break.
Bravest heart will carry on
When sleep is death and hope is gone.
Look into the fiery jaws of fear
And see the answer white and clear,
Then throw away all thoughts of home,
For only then your quest is done"

i love how in Rowon dream Sheba apeared and said (you are the only one who is smart) it made me have the tension to keep on reading .

# data[].attributes.body
the part I found intresting was the part when Sheba said that 'the mounain will not test your strength, John. It will distroy it' That got me thinking if sheba was corect and if Sheba is really corect,  I wonderer what John will act like.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting when the author told us who will be going on the treacherous journey, including Marlie
, Strong john,Allun, and maybe Rowan

# data[].attributes.body
Louis says: I'm also interested why they say Marlie is brave and Rowan is weak when  Sheba threw the stick at Marlie she "screamed in shock and jumped away" when Rowan stood his ground. This indicates that maybe Rowan is the brave one.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked when marlie,Strong john and Rowan met sheba in her hut and when she told the mysterious riddle

# data[].attributes.body
I liked it when rowen went to Sheba’s hut because rowen got Describe

# data[].attributes.body
My opinion is that when Rowans Dad went into the fire in the house and sacrifised his life for his children and the other people blaimed it on Rowan and said he wasn't good enough for them and upset him and he felt left out.

# data[].attributes.body
I find it interesting because they thought of a plan

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion i liked how Emily Rodder described the setting and Sheba eg: She smelled of ash and dust,old cloth and bitter herbs. It helps me picture what Sheba is like.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Sybil because I also liked it when she told the riddle then mysteriously fell asleep. This adds to the wierdness that the author describes Sheba as. This makes you think that Sheba is quite different to the others and that she might be a bit of a witch or something.

# data[].attributes.body
Rowan is brave I agree I think he is braver than Marlie because he stepped out
Louis

# data[].attributes.body
Louis says: I disagree with Lila that Rowan didn't care that he was hit on the head for these reasons:1. The book says that He stumbled back and nearly fell and blood was beginning to drip from a gash in his head this shows he is scared.2.   when he walked home the book says he was dizzy and faint showing he was probAbly annoyed.3.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion they always use noun groups when they see someone or go somewhere like when the discribed Shebas hut as four walls were made of rock, dripping with water and slime. another one is that they were describing Sheba hair as her hair greasy gray tails and peircing red eyes

# data[].attributes.body
I agree Ethan I am also wondering what is going to happen next:)

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ryder because the noun groups like 'Her fore head was bound with a purple rag' and 'Her hair hung like grey tails around her head' really make her sound like she's a witch.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion I liked when Sheba was stroking the cheese if they were cats

# data[].attributes.body
Samantha

I found it interesting when Sheba threw a stick at Marlie,but she nervously dogded and it hit Rowan.But he didn't even shed one tear.An example from the text is"then fast as a striking snake,and threw a stick straight at Marlie ,who yelled and jumped aside in her fright ,leaving Rowan to take the full blow of the flying wood."

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Sav.  Even I can feel the mystery about how the riddle isn't very specific and that Sheba might still no more. If I was in their shoes I'd be trembling and want to stay right here if i could just like them wich makes me believe your theory of them being nervous.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ethan it would be very interesting and exciting if Sheba is correct but what I was more interested in was how Sheba new so much about the mountain and why she new about it?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree Latifah it describes sheba mystirious

RAPHAEL:-)

# data[].attributes.body
Louis I disagree because Rowan needs to go on the quest or what would the book be about if Rowan is the mean character.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like yours to how you explaind what sheba said and I am a bit more into the buksha but I also like how you used tha noun groups in the sentence/words.
ba

# data[].attributes.body
SAMANTHA I DISAGREE CAUSE ONE MARLIE WASN`T NERVOUS TWO HOW DO YOU KNOW MARLIE SCREAMED WHEN SHES SO BRAVE.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ryder since I also had a very clear image in my head of the old hag both in and out of the dream. Her glowing red eyes and how she pats here cheese like a cat actually gave me nightmares last night.

# data[].attributes.body
Patrick i agree she sounds like a witch, In the firelight her eyes looked red the story said

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t agree with Samantha because I didn’t like it when Sheba tried to throw a stick at Marie because it’s painful

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Isabel how they discibed rowan feelings when he got hit in the face by the rock

# data[].attributes.body
RYDER
ARLO I AGREE BECAUSE THEY DESCRIBED SHEBA SO WELL AND I`VE GOT A PICTURE IN MY HEAD

# data[].attributes.body
I agree Savana the riddle is very mysterious and at first i di not know what it ment that was when i realiesed it was mystiries and hard to figure out:-)

# data[].attributes.body
Raphael I agree that the description that Emily Rodda gave Sheba gives me a clear picture of her in my head.

# data[].attributes.body
Isabel
I agree with Louis because there are only 6 people going on the journey

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with Lila because Roman wasn’t brave

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Louis I see what you meen with Sheba and the riddle I had thoughts like what if Rowan sneaks away to go on the quest to prove himself and Sheba is the final member.

# data[].attributes.body
Kai
I agree with Savannah that the riddle is mysterious and I also like the noun groups they used for Sheba, thin grey tails around her face, she smelt of ash and dust, old cloth and bitter herbs.. I don’t think Marlie is that brave, she pushed Rowan towards Sheba, she was also quick to tell Sheba that Rowan picked the cheeses and I think that was in case Sheba didn’t like them.
