I wanted to make note of this because so far, Habo has escaped death, jumped on a moving train, and sprinted as fast as he could to run from Alasiri. And that was just in the last few pages. I know it must be scary to risk your life jumping across two trains, he has already escaped death hundreds of times. ]]> 2022-03-25 13:55:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2113848547 sofiasipe https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2113851101 Habo is feeling homesick and misses his routine at the old village. I feel bad because he is out on his own where it is very dangerous. I would also be homesick if I would have to leave my home or run away to stay safe from hunters. ]]> 2022-03-25 13:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2113851101 audrinapunzo2009 https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2113856544 On this page, Habo is thinking about what he will actually do when he gets to Dar es Salaam. I predict that Habo will just beg for money and although Dar es Salaam is safer than Mwanza, he will have to hide. First of all, hiding is one of the things he has been doing his whole life, and he may even feel the instinct to hide whenever danger comes around instead of run or fight. ]]> 2022-03-25 13:59:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2113856544 damonmajestic https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2117113353 I feel bad for Habo because he is out on his own where it is dangerous.

I wonder why the author made this connection, it does show that he is hungry, but I wonder if it has a deeper meaning. ]]> 2022-03-28 13:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2117113763 sofiasipe https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2117120431 I think Habo is very brave by deciding he wants to steal food from an old man. I also think it is nice of him that he wants to give money to the old man after getting his food. There is also a simile on the page when Habo says his breathing is as soft as moth wings. ]]> 2022-03-28 13:13:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2117120431 damonmajestic https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2117128448 I feel bad for Habo because he has been mentally and physically scarred by Alasiri and when Habo thinks about Asasiri Habo is uncomfortable and therefore does not like thinking of Alasiri because of what Alasiri had done to Habo.]]> 2022-03-28 13:17:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2117128448 sofiasipe https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2117131499 I predict that Kweli will be a good friend to Habo. Habo originally wanted to steal food from Kweli but he was caught by him. I'm surprised by Habo telling Kweli half of his story. I think he will tell Kweli the rest of his story later, even though he is blind. I also think that Kweli will keep Habo safe and be his friend. ]]> 2022-03-28 13:18:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2117131499 audrinapunzo2009 https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2119367400 I think that from the moment Kweli states that he is blind, Habo and Kweli are going to have a close relationship throughout the book and kind of be like Crispins "Bear". I think that Kweli and Habo will face Alasiri together, and lets hope they win.]]> 2022-03-29 13:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2119367400 sofiasipe https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2119376262 The wooden dog that Habo was making might symbolize Kito's friendship with him. Habo and Kito were very good friends and were playing with each other by Habo making wooden toys for Kito. I think Habo carving the wooden dog reminds him of Kito. This is probably why Habo was looking forward to carve the wooden dog. ]]> 2022-03-29 13:41:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2119376262 damonmajestic https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2119382180 on this page Habo meets the blind man's great niece named Davu and talks to her about her great uncle (the blind man) about his sculptures and Habo's sculptures too.]]> 2022-03-29 13:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2119382180 audrinapunzo2009 https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2121431971 I think that Habo should not have lied here to Kweli. Although it could possibly protect him, the part about his family knowing where he is is very risky. As you learn on the next page, Kweli takes him in to work for a short time and says that they will find his parents. Habo actually gets nervous about this too.]]> 2022-03-30 13:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2121431971 damonmajestic https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2121434596 The wooden dog that Habo was making might symbolize what kito meant to habo.

He also calls Davu pretty. I think they are already becoming friends because they were talking together without fighting. Even though their relationship started off with Davu thinking that Habo is breaking into Kweli's house, I think they will talk more and become friends. ]]> 2022-03-30 13:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2121438075 damonmajestic https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2121441674 On this page of the book, Habo compares the beautiful rising sun over the ocean to something that he could eat.

This is sad because he has such bad trust issues that he can't trust any strangers and he has had so much bad happen to him at such a young age for something he can;t control and he had not done anything in the first place.]]> 2022-03-30 13:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2121470298 aidenpringle https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2121497428 Once again it is sad that Habo has to steal food even though he had the money for it, this is because he is alone and can't protect himself so he has to try to stay hidden and not be seen by to many people. He is in such a bad position and situation because of something he didn't even do. Also if you ask anyone his age if they want to leave there family and go somewhere they have never been before and don't know anyone there just because their not safe where they were living at the moment.]]> 2022-03-30 13:36:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2121497428 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2122263742 I felt bad for Habo because he did not have a plan when he would arrive at the city. Now he is wandering aimlessly looking for labor, money, and food. Habo is so lost that he does not even know where to start and find the things he needs. He is almost dying because he is so hungry and has no food left to eat. I feel bad that such a young kid is so desprete for food and money.]]> 2022-03-30 20:30:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2122263742 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2122275046 At this stage in the book, this is when Habo finally sneaks into the old mans yard. He notices that the man might be in some sort of trance. However, before he goes and takes the food he considers the fact that he may be a magana in a trace which is very dangerous to him because of his albinism. He does not want to be turned into some medicene that gives people luck. I think that this was very smart of Habo to consider this idea before he came up to the old man first. If the man was a magana and saw him take the food, he would probably be killed. The magana would sell him to rich people and make a profit off of himself. I think his life could have ended horribly if he ran into a magana instead of a weak old man. Therefore, I think Habo is very intelligent and thoughtful for thinking the way he did.

Habo is super excited that he gave him this offer and accepts his offer to do chores. I think that this is vry odd for a kid his age to be so excited to be able to do chore. When my parents assign me chores, I think that it is so boring and hate doing them. But this shows how desprete Habo really is and how much he wants to live in a house so bad. I think that it is sad and pathetic that a kid my age enjoys doing chores and has to worry about where he is going to find shelter to sleep in every single night. ]]> 2022-03-30 20:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2122285500 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2122297612 After a long day of the two guys working it is finally dinner time. They start to have conversations. Then Kweli starts to ask Habo what did you learn today. Habo did not know that he was going to get quizzed and he had no idea what to say. I was actually put in a very simular situation. At my old school we were watching a video on science and just watched it for fun. The my teacher told us that she was going to give us a quiz on the video. I was not paying attention to the video at all and had no idea what to do.I thought that it was so mean of my teacher to not give us a warning that we were going to be quized on the video. I wonder if Habo was annoyed with him for quizzing him unexpetedly. ]]> 2022-03-30 21:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2122297612 jamesonphipps https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2122317677 This is when Kewli tells Habo about the lady that lives close by and owns a mobil phone. He kkeps telling him and is giving him advice on how he could let his family kno where he is but I dont think he realizes that Habo does not wants his family to know he is alive. He pretending to be dead so his family won't be able to punish him for what he did wrong. I think that Kewli keeps nagging Habo to tell his family where he is located. I think that Habo keeps getting nagged because he did not tell him the full story on why he came here. Kewli must think that he wants to see his family again when in reality he doesn't. I think if Kewli keeps telling him where he could call his family, Habo will eventually get annoyed and and tell Kewli the whole story. ]]> 2022-03-30 21:21:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2122317677 aidenpringle https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2122729889 It is really sad when Habo goes through a list of all the people who have treated him differently and really badly because he is albino. I before was thinking that he was being to careful and not trusting people as much as he should but after this it made me realize that he had to be this careful and he had to be cautious because of all the issues and people treating him badly in the past for the exact same reason, even his own mother he said had barely touched him in his whole life, if you cna;t trust your own mother than most likely you can't trust anyone.]]> 2022-03-31 03:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2122729889 aidenpringle https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2122736304 Habo is really lucky that this man is kind enough to be willing to let Habo stay there, this is almost exactly what Habo needed and this is very fortunate that this man is not mad and is actually really nice even though he had just tried to steal his food. This is a great partnership and also its perfect the he is blind so he doesn't even know that Habo is albino which could mess things up if he did so that just makes it even more perfect but it may not be easy to keep his secret for to long.]]> 2022-03-31 03:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2122736304 aidenpringle https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2122754460 It is crazy how it is very common to see people being killed just because their albino, it was so common that even the police didn't really even care they didn't do much anytime this happened sometimes they didn't do anything at all. But it is so common there in Mzwanna and Davu didn't even believe it because it is just not a things there which is a great thing for Habo but most likely there are still some people out there that will kill albinos, but it is nowhere near as common there then it was where Habo was living before. ]]> 2022-03-31 03:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiasipe/4n9mhlwzdw7oj7km/wish/2122754460
