op# 1

1.She is someone who is caring but cares most about her family and that is what i think makes her strong. She always thinks family first and is trying to protect her family from the war. She though sometimes acts like a kid and sometimes in the text she plays around or fools around like a 7 year old kid even though shes older.

2. I think that ko and yoko get on each other because their sisters. They arent that mean to each other but when someone says '' i am going to do it'' yoko tells her sister that she is bossy because their sisters and if it was a friend or another person yoko would probably say ok you can do it. It is just brothers and sisters get on each other and that is why they have differences.

3.I think that the family is very nice to everyone and everyone that is on the train that they were helping. Each patient was given the same respect as their family. As a character each individually they i think have different perspectives in what is helping to them and since their nice and also active people they are very gentle but know how to do things . I think they each have their own personalities and interest. They did a good job on the train but in the end when it was time to leave they had to leave the cart of the train behind and go to the city.

1. My favorite part in the story so far is that the boy named charlie is trying tio find his parents and can talk to animals which help him on his journey. He is talking to circus animals and talking to them on where they went next. He is very determined and sad that some kidnapped his parents. He right now is looking in and out of everywhere but has clues from animals to back him up. He has occasionally deliveries and advise from the helpful animals.
2. The book has been great so far and hope to read the rest.

1.My favorite part of the first pages i read was how this guy named charlie ashanti wanted to find his parents. His parents were kidnapped while he was on his way home and when he got there his parents were gone. I liked this part because of how determined he was into this and how he would figure out ways to find where they went.

2.I think his ability to talk to cats like lion or tigers that are from the cat family. I think he will find his parents because of how determined he is and how he does it through animals as well. the first part talks about how he can talk to animals and i think he knows what he has to do..
