Encounter is a good title for many reasons. One because the Tainos met the Europeans and encounter means meet. Another reason is the chief wanted to welcome them with goods like necklaces.

This is a good title for the book encounter because Christopher Columbus encountered the Tainos.
The tainos wanted to welcome them but they should not have because what their plan was to steal every valuable thing like gold, or silver that they had.  The Tainos did not know what to expect so they touched the wrong sides of swords and took what was valuable to them but not Christopher and his crew. So what they traded Christopher for was not helpful but the Tainos did not know that so they gave away things that helped them live because they thought that Christophers stuff was cool.

I think it is a good name because the Taino people "encountered"  Columbus and his crew. It stated in the text that Columbus came from a "little canoe" and met them. It also said Columbus gave them beads. That is why I think it is a good name. ( like me please)

I think that the author of the story choose the title for many reasons.  One reason she named it that was because Christopher Columbus met the Tainos or encounters them. the tainos thought that when the "Newcomers" came they gave them a feast and gifts to show their appreciation. I finally think that they named it encounter because they took Tainos hostage or as slaves. That is why i think that Jane Yolen named the story Encounter

This title was chosen for this book because Encounter means when you meet. In this book the Native Americans meet the European explorers. Christopher Columbus also met the Native Americans and itś about Columbus claiming the land having a feast with the Native Americans and taking gold,tobacco, and spices. This is why this title was chosen for the book.

Jane Yolen chose the title Encounter for this book for several reasons. The europeans went to the land not knowing that other people lived there. They encountered the Native Americans which means they met or confronted with them. This is a good title for this book.

# data[].attributes.body
Jane Yolen chose "Encounter" for the book title because,people came in boats called the 'Nina','Pinta',and the 'Saint Maria'.The people came and encountered the taino people.The "people" were the europeans,the europeans came and wanting to claim the land the tainos were living in but,they did not know that they just were nice to them because they want their gold bracelets and their valuables,but the europeans just gave them useless stuff like rubber balls or tiny balls rubber string and took their nice and good stuff.

I think that Encounter is a good tittle for the book because it shows how the Taino boy felt about the Europeans when they settled in the island many years ago. Also it shows at the end that the boy was maybe the last Taino left on earth. Finally, it shows how the Europeans took over.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the book "Encounter" is called "Encounter" for two reasons. The first reason is that when the Europeans came, the Tainos were nice to them. They started trading weapons for jewelry. When the Europeans left, they took a few tainos. Encounter means to face something difficult, and the Tainos were going through something difficult.

# data[].attributes.body
It is called Encounter because Columbus did not expect to find people on the island. Encounter means to find something without trying to. Columbus did not try or want to find people there and wanted to claim the land because he thought it was unclaimed

# data[].attributes.body
I think the title "encounter " is good. I think it is a good title because when the europeans came to the taino tribes they took over.They took over by trading useless stuff to the tainos like cheap necklaces balls and cotton meanwhile the tainos were giving the europeans parrots,rubber balls and spears to hunt. That is why i think the title "Encounter" is a good title.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Jane Yolen picked the title encounter because when the europeans and Chritopher Columbus came and enslaved the tainos and took them to the king and queen. Christopher Columbus was a brave explorer but he never thought about his actions. Those tainos also have lives that they should live their way. They should not not be told how to live and be taken from their homes and become slaves.

This specific title Encounter is chosen for this book for many reasons that I will tell you. One is really the obvious reason, it is that the Taino people met the Europeans and met is a synonym for  encounter. Next reason I think is that the Taino people never knew they were coming and was surprised. After that the explorers took them as slaves and gave them diseases by accident. They gave a disease called small pox. Even Columbus didn't even know he was going to reach a new land and find other people, so he was surprised, too. These are some reasons that they made the title, Encounter.

# data[].attributes.body
The story Encounter is a great title because the Tainos met the Europeans and the Tainos noticed that they were different then them. Their skin was very pale and they had facial hair they also noticed that they were dressed in colors like parrots in their words.  The Tainos welcomed them because it was their religion.  They did not know that they would take over their land and become slaves so they took a canoe and traveled to find a new Island.

Jane Yolen titled this book "Encounter" for a specific reason. I think it is titled this because these people did not know that Christopher and his troops were coming. They kind of encountered or took over the land. Also, the little kid did not want to welcome these people. There leader wanted to encounter/meet them. That is why this book is called "Encounter".

# data[].attributes.body
Encounter fits the title of the book. Encounter means to face somebody unexpectedly. The Tainos didn't know Christopher Columbus was coming. I know because in the book, the boy explained how the the chief wanted to welcome their "visitors", but near the end of the book they stayed there and built buildings and claimed the land. Columbus even, forced them to make sacrifices to their gods, forced them to learn their language and made them believe in their religion. The Tainos thought they were just being friendly in the beginning, but they turned out to be pushy.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Jane Yolen picked Encounter as a title for her book because the taino encountered Columbus and his crew and welcomed them into their island and traded with Columbus and his crew and Columbus gave the tainos things to then the tainos brought Columbus and his crew to the fire to eat with them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Encounter by Jane Yolen is a strong title because it baces it on how the little kid encountered the explorers and I think it gave a strong feeling and message because the explorers came and the young kid tried to tell his tribe not to encounter the explorers because he had a dream warning him not to encounter the explorers but no one listened because he was just a kid and "didn't know any better"

# data[].attributes.body
Jane Yolen chose the title for a  couple of reasons. He wanted the readers to know what the story is about. The story is about the encounter with the Native Americans and the Europeans. Another reason is the encounter with the Native Americans and the Europeans is very important to the history of the Native Americans. Finally Jane Yolen chose this title because it shows how the Native Americans got conquered. They got got conquered because of that encounter.

The book is called Encounter because it is about a boy's encounter with Christopher Columbus. If the story had no title one of the first titles I would think of  is Encounter. That title also kind of makes a good short summary. The encounter happens when the boy meets Christopher Columbus and his men. The cover also explains the title a little bit because it shows the boy meeting him and that is kind of like an encounter

Encounter by Jane Yolen is a great book and it's title really shows the essence of the book. First of all, it is a bit mysterious. When you first read the title, you think to yourself, what happened during the "encounter." Did someone get hurt. Did someone get a compliment or, maybe they just became friends. But you never know until you read the book. One word titles also hook on a reader. It leaves you wanting more, even before you actually read it. Next, when you start to read the book, you realize that when the taino tribe meets the Europeans, it all seems fine, but the "encounter" seen from that little taino boy's perspective, he realizes that there is something going on that is wrong and sneaky. This "encounter" is about to change the taino culture forever. The title that Jane Yolen picked out fits the book perfectly, and shows you that if you "encounter" this book, you should definitly read it!!!

Encounter has a great title because the taino people encountered the european explorers. The taino people didn't know what to expect so they welcomed them because that was their religion. Another reason is that the european explorers also encountered the tainos. They didn't know anything about them so they were just friendly and traded with them. That is why Encounter had a great title.

# data[].attributes.body
The author named the book Encounter because the Native Americans encountered with the Europeans. They came and took the Native Americans gold and treasures and the Europeans took some of the Native Americans to work for Columbus as slaves, made them believe in European religion and claimed the Native Americans land.

# data[].attributes.body
The Taino tribe was a Native American tribe whom' s land was conquered and taken over by the brave explorer, Christopher columbus. The true story, Encounter was called encounter because of how the Taino`s encountered Christopher and his crew. They were taken back to Europe as slaves and the whole Taino tribe was falling and decreasing by the moment, due to germs and diseases such as smallpox that Columbus brought with him to the island. The young boy who had predicted about the encounter in his dreams was right to try not to welcome Christopher. He was the only one to realize that Christopher and his crew were no good. All that christopher wanted was gold, gold, and more gold. He was greedy and unkind to the Taino. Although it is their tradition to welcome people, they should be more careful who they welcome.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the author named the story "Encounter" because the Taino and the Europeans were meeting for the first time. In the story, the Tainos met the Europeans for the first time and the Taino boy didn't trust them. Everyone trusted the Europeans until they got taken away. In sum, I think Encounter is a good name for the story.

# data[].attributes.body
The book was named "Encounter" because, when the Europeans came to the Tainos they were acting nice to them. They even started trading jewelry for weapons. When the Europeans were leaving they took a few of the tainos, and encounter means to face something difficult. So in conclusion the tainos had faced something difficult.

Encounter I think it means in this book is Columbus encounter the Taino peoples. And the boy encounter the europeans plus  it's bad because he took some slave and the main character which he was still a boy with him and treated them to believe in to christian. But forgot their own religion so the boy is sad and his dreams are gone with his religion.

# data[].attributes.body
`I think Jane Yolen picked "Encounter" as a title because the Tanio boy encounters Columbus's crew and ships.  The boy has a dream were he encounters three birds, with intimidating white teeth. He later on encounters the "birds" as three white ships with Columbus's crew on board. This is why I think Jane Yolen picked "Encounter" as a title.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The explorer Christopher Columbus made four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain: in 1492, 1493, 1498 and 1502. His most famous was his first voyage, commanding the ships the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria to the Americas.

Encounter is a good title because the book talks about how he encountered the native americans. He took them and made them learn his language. He met them and saw how tan their skin was so he thought that they were another religion.

I think that Jane Yolen chose the title "Encounter" because the Taino and the Europeans were meeting each other. At first the Taino thought that the Europeans were good people and they offered them food, jewelry, parrots, etc. The Europeans wanted to claim the land and take the Tainos as slaves. The Taino thought that the Europeans were giving them really good stuff, like beads, string, etc.  The Europeans actually didn't think that the stuff they offered the Tainos was valuable.  Overall, "Encounter" was a good title for the book.

# data[].attributes.body
"Encounter" is a good title because it makes sense with the story like the Taino and the European met but the European used them as slaves when the Taino' s did not know what they were going to do to them.

# data[].attributes.body
The story is called Encounter probably because when Columbus was in the ship because when he met new people when he went to a place.1 reason is because he met some new people in a different place.Another reason is because encounter means you meet someone.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Encounter is a good title because the Tainos meet the Europeans and encounter means to meet or find. For example the Europeans discovered the Tainos and they traded things, but Christopher Columbus did treat some Tainos as slaves and that was unfair.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Jane Yolen named this book Encounter is because  it was the first time the Native Americans\Tainos met the europeans. For example in the text it says that the native american religion is to always welcome strangers so they welcomed Christopher Colombus and his crew to their land. hich was the first time they saw humans like Christopher and his crew because they had pale skin and they were dressed like parrots.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Jane Yolen picked Encounter to be the title of this book because the Native Americans had never met the Europeans, and didn't know of their intentions to capture and kill them. The Native Americans gave Columbus and his crew gifts, and in exchange, the Europeans took the Native Americans captive as slaves and started destroying their culture.The word encounter, in this book, is a bad thing, as the Native Americans encountered Columbus and his crew, with negative things happening to their tribe and their culture after this encounter.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Encounter is a good title . I think it is because the Tanio people meet eroupernes.  When the  came eroupernes the Tanios were kind and wecloming, but they did take some as slaves.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the author chose the title Encounter for many reasons. One reason is that the taino boy looked  at the strangers not in a very good way.  No one else saw the strangers  in which the boy did, which made him encounter them differently. Another reason is that the rest of the taino tribe was really nice and thought that the strangers were good. The taino tribe was  giving the strangers gifts and made a feast for the european explorers.
