They have just brought Zan to a orphanage for animals and Ben is not happy because he have had him for most of the chimps life. Zan grew up with Ben and now the have to leave each other when they had such a good relationship. The author wants you to know there are hard times in life but you have to get through them strong

The author always shows and doesn't tell unless he is using dialogue. When the author writing make there be less description because there is to much in some pages. They would overload it on one page and there is nothing good on that page. When the author writes he wants you to know anything can happen, for example when he went to a new school and made tons of friends or when he has a chimp brother.

Zan has been bad cause he has been getting older and acting like a piece of crap. I notice the authors style was to show you want a chimp could be. And when he showed the feeling that the chimp had he didn't tell he showed them for example, "Zan threw his food across the table and hit dad straight in the face." He showed it he didn't tell it.

He had a girl over and he was getting really nervous. He wanted to make himself look good so he wore nice clothes and old spice. She was kind of questioning why he was wearing that and used the old spice. All the teenagers were drinking wine and all of them were enjoying it. It was interesting why they would enjoy wine when they're each thirteen and fourteen.

the author wanted you to realize that this book was made because he wanted you to understand if you had a chimp brother. His text structure is with few bits of dialogue but not an over load of tons of it. Good amounts of action its loaded like dialogue in some different books. I noticed that the book is not overwhelming in all parts. Keeps me in action with most characters in it

in this book he was stressed out with everything that was going on in his life. He got big trouble with his dad, because his dad didn't really like him that much but his mom was different. She would care and love him sometimes then when he was with his friends his mom would question him more and what was he doing.

I notice that was interesting that was Susan carol was acting strange cause she never acted like that. I wrote down a L.A.T.E and that helped me a lot with understanding the character more. Susan was not where she was supposed to be when she wasn't with her group of friends. I think that she was thinking that she needed more freedom or something else to do

I'm focusing on character and I did looks like, acts like, thinks like and effect. They look like they would be a motivational swimmer that could tell people good quotes. Acts like, they are really hyper and always ready for action. They think like they never want to not be prepared. Then they effect off of all of this is that they would what to try new things and never give up.

The thing that interest me is how the author showed and wasn't telling through most the parts I'v been in. He didn't try to tell when he was describing a character or showing what the pool looked like. The when he told something it was with description not like "they had a blue shirt" or something like that. It was like there blue stripped shirts with a red frog, more like that.

I text coded in my book where the character completely changes a few times, sometimes she was thinking a sad moment in her past then she was ready to swim for a national team. Then she changed again when she was ready to go home all tired and sweaty then she noticed she had one more swim meat. the author showed that you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

The author wants to explain to you that "good things through life don't come easy," which was a quote in this book and it really means a lot to people that struggle. He also showed that when you read you can feel how the character is feeling and what they're doing. Susan is mostly who you can feel struggle.

I think that the author was using good amounts of dialogue when people were talking, also it wasn't overwhelming. I was trying to figure out what was the author wanted the reader to know, was it going to be how be a better writer?

The author has a good style of writing, he explains how and why this or that is important he barley ever shows no action and he. He uses good amounts of dialogue through out the book. When he uses dialogue its not overwhelming with too much, also he describes each and every one with specific details.

The author has a good style of writing because you can still understand the book but he doesn't over do it with action of have nothing at all. He also does still going through the book the action hasn't stopped with good amounts of dialogue every where through the book. He shows that you can experience the book in your brain

The Rush For The Gold is a good book with a good amount of action where they are all the people crowding around one person cheering them on. The author was trying to make you understand what you can accomplish if you try hard enough. He showed what people say is impossible can be done if you put your mind to it. The author had a good explanation of what they did in The Rush For Gold.
