1. Sterling keeps a full yard of pets he finds. Why does he do this? Tell how you would care for pets like Sterling has. Ty- Sterling keeps a yard full of pets because his family members are away so the animals fill in the places for his family. I would let my pets roam around and train them to come when I call and do other things like to stop and to go get stuff. Brendan:I agree with Ty that Sterling keeps yard full of pets because his family is away most of the time. I would feed them once a day bathe them once a week. McGee- @Ty: I agree that his pets are because of his family gone a lot. But I would probably use my pets to learn how to play video or board games with me so I don't have to play with my brother or dad all the time.

2. Theo comes to visit Sterling and her father. Describe Theo. What do you think of her? = = McGee - Theo was acting a little bossy when she visited Sterling and their father. Probably because their mother is dead, so she thinks she has to take place at the mom job. She doesn't know that Sterling's father doesn't watch him as much as some dad's do. Such as when she came over, Sterling didn't want to let her know that he has a raccoon as a pet, and she told him to clean up the canoe in the family room.

3. Sterling is building a canoe in the living room. Would you want to do this? What would your family do if you built a canoe in your living room? ====McGee - My family would be pretty upset if I built a canoe in the living room. First of all, because that's where we watch movies and play games. Secondly, the living room is where guests always gather around like on holidays, birthdays, parties, or just plain visiting. Lastly, our house we usually try to keep clean, and if I were building a canoe... It would be a complete mess.Wood shavings and tools all over the floor. Even if I could build something in the living room it definitely wouldn't be a canoe, because we wouldn't really have anywhere to use it at. I would probably build something like a model of Monticello or the White House out of sugar cubes. And even then, it would be a complete mess everywhere in the living room. ====

Ty- I would not want to build a canoe in my living room because one, It would take up to much space and two, I don't know what I would do with it. My parents would not like is because over weekends and holiday no one would be able to eat.  Brendan; I agree with Ty and McGee that I would not build a canoe in my living room because, it be hard to get it out the front door. Also my parents would be really upset.
