The story is set in Jamestown

The book has two Native American Indigenous people on the front cover

The book shows a settlement with smoke bellowing out of it from afar on the front cover

I wonder:

Why are the two Native Americans stalking the settlement?

Why is there a lagoon separating the settlement from the Indigenous people?

Why do the Indigenous people have feathers on their heads?

What I Noticed:

1: There are two native Americans on the cover of the book

2: I'm guessing that the town is on the cover of Jamestown and it is on fire.

3: I' inferring that the Native American might of set James's town on fire for some reason.

What I wonder:

1: I wonder why the Native Americans are hiding in the bushes?

2: I wonder if the Native Americans have set James Town on fire and why?

3: Is the lake where the James town people got there water?

• I notice that on the cover, the natives are watching a building smoke/burn up.

• I notice that on the first page of every chapter, there is a quote written in an ink-looking font that looks like handwriting from the 1700s.

• Despite being called blood on the river, the river doesn't have any trace of blood on the river depicted on the front cover.

Wonder:

• Because the building is burning up, and the natives are watching, did they cause the smoke?

• Why is there a quote written in an inky handwriting font on all of the chapter introductions?

• Why is the book called Blood on the River?

1. I wonder if the character will encounter conflicts with the colonists

2. I wonder if these people will be successful

3. I wonder if they will have problems on the ships
