Chat about Secret of the Andes

June 3rd(Due) All Chapters Paragraphs In this chapter, Cusi follows Misti to this narrow way that Misti wanted Cusi to follow. They passed all of the hard ways, all of the rocky places. At the end, on this rock, Cusi finds a golden sandal that he knows that it wouldn't fit him. However, he thinks he hears a voice that tells him to bring the golden sandals with him. When he brought the sandals back with him, Chuto tells Cusi to go on his own journey with the llamas. Cusi said he will go, and he brought the sandals with him on the journey with the llamas. In chapter 12, Cusi starts on the llama trail and goes to find the family. Cusi reaches the lower valley, to ask the Indian people to be his family. However, nobody is there, so Cusi is mad. Therefore, he goes to the Cuzco, the Holy city, and he has to seperate with Chuto and his dog because he needed a family, and he couldn't bring all of them. He went on his journey with the llamas. Chapter 13 starts with Cusi arriving at the Allyu. While they were going to Allyu, they had steep and hard ways in the llama trail. However, Cusi kept cheering the llamas to reach the Allyu. When they reached Allyu, Cusi met a beautiful woman. Cusi slept at night, and he was woken up by the familiar chant to him. It was the Sunrise call. He started to head to the Cuzco in the morning, and he finally found it. When he finally reached there, the people standing in front of the gate didn't let him in. He was so disappointed that he complained a lot because they wouldn't let the llamas go in. But finally, Cusi could go in. In chapter 14, it starts with Cusi waking up and looking at the Indian guide. When he finally reached in there, Cusi saw many new and different things. Also, he traded with other people, and loaded the traded materials on Misti's back. Cusi thinks a lot about what to trade with Misti's wool, and he buys the clothes. The Indian guide says that he will bring the llama, Misti outside of the wall, so Cusi could seek for what he really wanted, the family. In this chapter, Cusi meets this woman who looks very similar to the woman he saw and called Cusi her son. She says she was a mother of Titu, and he was the chosen one. Even though he was chosen, he didn't like that and ran away from there. Cusi goes into the church where the to find what he has desired. He found many people trading and travelling. In this chapter, Cusi finds the Old One on the throne he found. They have a long conversation with each other, and talks about sharing. Cusi was lonely and bored in the Hidden Valley, and he wanted a family so much. However, when he talked about sharing with the old one, he found out that his home, Hidden Valley is where he belongs and where he matches. Also, it is where Cusi feels most comfortable in. Therefore, Cusi goes back to the Hidden Valley with lots of things learned. While he was going, Cusi asked the Old One where the trail went, and the Old One said it was gone by the landslides. Cusi was so sad that the woman who called him a son was gone. In this last chapter of the book, it starts with Cusi coming back to the Hidden Valley. He meets all of the people who were with Cusi before, and tells Chuto about the journey.

This chapter is about a boy living in the Hidden Valley, and didn't ever see other people ever. He is happy to see people where he can see. One day, a wandering ministrel finds the Hidden Valley, and Cusi, the boy is so excited to see him. Chuto, the person who takes care of Cusi, decides to go on a journey with Cusi, to the Salt Pits. Cusi is very excited to go on a trip with Chuto who almost raised him. Cusi thinks a lot about the journey, and decides to go at the end of the chapter.======

In this Chapter, Chuto bring Cusi to greet the sun with him. He said the new day has come, and Cusi has to greet the sun with him. Chuto started following the dark shadow, and Cusi followed Chuto. Cusi was very excited and feared at the some time. When Chuto and Cusi reached the reached the bottom of the hills, the place for greeting the sun, Chuto started chanting. As Chuto chanted, the sun rose and the sun was on the sky when Chuto finished chanting. When Chuto finished, it was time to go back to the Hidden Valley, so they are going back to the Hidden Valley with the one and only trail.
 * Chapter 2: Sunrise Call**

In Chapter 3, Cusi becomes a nice friend with the ministrel, the traveler. Cusi finds out that the ministrel takes really good care of the llamas, and they are even good friends. Cusi is surprised that llamas and the ministrel like each other although he is a traveler. Cusi also got to know that the ministrel has a great knowledge about the llamas. When Cusi and Chuto were working, the ministrel played music for the llamas. He sang a song, and the llamas started humming together. Cusi was so surprised that the llamas humm along with the ministrel.
 * Chapter 3: Llama- Humming**

This chapter is about Cusi being curious why Chuto always brings llamas on the day- trips, and gave away llamas every year. Cusi was happy for his new task for today, and it was making the food chuno for the dinner. At the same time, Chuto started making the sandals for Cusi and himself for going across the mountains. Cusi and Chuto kept making the sandals, and Cusi became very tired. The ministrel made food for them, and now Chuto, Cusi, and the ministrel were all like family. Cusi saw the ministrel keep singing, and Cusi saw him singing to the llamas. They were now ready for the journey that they had to face the next day.
 * Chapter 4: Singer of Songs**

In the beginning, Cusi wakes up and follows Chuto to the place of the sunrise call. He feels like the trail is shorter, brighter, and less hard. He feels very comfortable wearing the sandal that Chuto made for the journey. When they reached there, Cusi felt happiness fill his body. When they start on their journey to the Salt Pits, Chuto is sad that he has to leave his llamas here. Also, the ministrel and Suncca were left behind with the llamas. As they were going to Chuto's friend's house at the lower land, they had to cross the bridge that wan't really strong, that could make Cusi and Chuto die. Even in that danger to die, Cusi listened to Chuto and started climbing the bridge. When they finished climbing, they were very happy and felt wonderful that they made it.
 * Chapter 5: The Steep Trail**

In this chapter, Chuto and Cusi finally arrived at Chuto's friend's house. At the friend's house, the friend asks Chuto if this was a chosen one, and the other one didn't return yet. Chuto's reply was more surprising. He said that the death never returns. I was curious why they would say Cusi as the "Chosen One," and the other one they say as "Dead." It seems like there was a huge, and secretive past that Cusi doesn't know, and many people don't know yet.
 * Chapter 6: The Long Way**

In chapter 7, Cusi and Chuto leaves for the journey on the mountains. Chuto keeps on talking about the other chosen one and the different path he took than Cusi. When Cusi asked him about it, Chuto just told him that it's not the time for Cusi to know this, and he just kept on walking. Cusi felt stubborn, and was mad that Chuto knows all those secretive facts and wouldn't tell Cusi when he really wants to know it.
 * Chapter 7: Questions**

In the beginning of this chapter, Cusi and Chuto finally arrived to the Salt Pits. Cusi was quite curious why Chuto, the person who knows everything, doesn't know why the Salt Pits Lake was salty. Cusi found out that Chuto could speak Spanish as well as Indian. When they arrived at the salt village, they started digging for the salt. Chuto showed Cusi what is this, and what is that, and also said the outside world of the hidden valley is strange for them. Also, it was quite mysterious when Chuto thought to himself 'He knew what Cusi was experiencing. Had it not happened to him? Had it not happened to that other one? It happened to each in his lifetime. It must happen. It was the law. And each reacted to it in his own way. That too was a opart of the pattern.' I think the story is getting more mysterious about the past of Cusi.
 * Chapter 8: Outside**

When I first read chapter 9, it happened at home, when Cusi and Chuto arrived back home from the journey. However, the ministrel left them when they came back. Cusi felt very lonely, but he couldn't think of him while he was working. Since Chuto knew so many things that Cusi didn't know at all, Cusi asked Chuto how he knows so many things that many people don't. Chuto just said he was taught by someone, and he kept working. One day, a strange man comes to the Hidden Valley, and says he is Amauta, the wise one, the teacher. Amauta was there to teach Cusi.
 * Chapter 9: Amauta Comes**

Cusi learned many things from Amauta. Amauta taught Cusi about his ancestors. However, he couldn't know anything about his own family, his mom and dad. since Cusi didn't know anyhthing about the family of his own, he was so curious who were his parents, and who were his own sibling. When Amauta thought Cusi understood him, he left Cusi and Cusi was left with Chuto alone, again.
 * Chapter 10: A Mission Unshared**

It is a warm, shiny day, and I feel so delightful! It is my birthday, and I have a birthday party with my friends today. I invited my friends Caroline, Su Ahn, Jee, and Rachel, and I feel like we will have so much fun! 'Ding-dong' the first bell rang, and it was Caroline. Everyone arrived one by one, then we started my real birthday party. Everyone brought so many gorgeous presents, and I was so happy about all of them. When we were having so much fun, I heard a bell ringing. When I slowly opened the door, there was this strange lady standing in front of me! She looked really scary, so I was about to close the door in front of her face. However, before I have done that, she held the door and gave me a small box that had something inside. I thought of it as a birthday present, therefore I just received and closed the door extremely fast, in front of the strange lady's face. I kind of felt like I saw her before, but I wasn't really sure. When I opened the door again, she was gone and nobody was there. I was quite scared, but I knew that my friends were waiting for me, so I went to the living room.I saw my friends watching TV on the sofa. I told them a strange lady just came and gave me this present, they said open it! I was worried, but I just opened it because I was too curious about what it was. However, to check what it is, I shaked the box and I hears something scratching the box. When I finally opened it, it was a cute puppy! Also, at the bottom of it, there was a letter from my aunt who is in Japan right now. The letter said that she sent her secretary to send the present. Since I always wanted a puppy, I loved it. I called my aunt immediately, and I was so thankful to her. It was the best birthday ever for me!

<span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"> There was a siren ringing, and someone screamed out loud. "An animal is in the post office! It is a crazy monkey~!!" I was suddenly so surprised and looked back. There were people running around all over the place, but I couldn't really see a "crazy" monkey. I just saw a adorable and cute little monkey staring at me. I guess that person who screamed was scared of monkeys! He seemed like he has never been out of his zoo cage, and he was lost. There were tears rolling down on his cheeks as if he was looking for he was looking for his mom. However, when everyone except for the post officers went out of the place, he started running around and jumping on all the immense boxes! They actually seemed like they were boxes of letters, but the monkey ripped the boxes and made the letters fall all over, and I saw hundreds of papers flying around the office.

He suddenly went crying, and filled thepost office with his tears. I found out that he was hurt, and he wanted to go home now. He wanted to go back to where he was born, and where his family are. I had no idea at all where he was from, so I just brought him home and washed him. I think he was tired of his journey out of the cage, he stayed still. After washing, he started sleeping on the mat I gave him, just like a baby. When I watched the news before bed, I found out that this monkey was from the Big Apple Zoo, and his name is Vincent. When I opened my eyes when the sun was rising up, Vincent, the cutest monkey I have ever seen went back to his home, sweet home.

It seemed so wrong that my father, Poppy is in jail when he's not really supposed to. Although I met him, I felt worried. I wish Poppy would get out of the jail as fast as he can.

Hello, my Diary! Phew... Poppy finally got out of the jail! I waited so much until this time. However, a bad thing happened again. Liyana said she wanted to invite her friend, Omer, but Poppy wouldn't let her! He said it's not appropriate for a girl to invite a boy to a girl's house. That doesn't make sense at all... Sitti invites everyone! I think Poppy doesn't like Omer because he's a Jew. But I guess he doesn't like being called like that! By their religion or race! I think I said such a cool thing... I felt like my sister loving me!!(I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.) Well, it's good that Omer's coming to our house because I think he's a good guy!^^
 * 2.(p.233-243)Rafik's Journal: March 10th**

Dear Journal, I brought Khaled, Nadine, Omer, Liyana, and Rafik to the Arabic village. I felt like Liyana loved showing Omer the Arabic village, which Omer has never been to. Also, Omer liked looking around in the shops and the whole village. However, I could feel the difference between Omer and my family. Omer thought the village was an abandoned village, just because people said so. I think it was good that I changed the subject at the moment when everyone was so quiet! I had a good time going to the village with all of the people, including Omer!
 * 3.(p.244-254)Poppy's Journal: March 11th**

Dear my Journal, I finally went to the Arabic village on Liyana's side of the town. We decided to hike around the village, and we had to walk slow! I was because of Khaled, Liyana's friend. Although we walked slow, it was okay for me. All of a sudden, Liyana asked me when my father died, how old I was, and what happened to him. She even asked me if I can remember my father! I wondered why she would ask me those things... Later, I told Sitti in Arabic, and everyone seemed surprised. I think they didn't know that I could speak a little Arabic! However, when I said I enjoyed todey, one person seemed really angry and yelled at me to remember them when I go into the army. I have no idea why he's so mean to me! anyways, I was happy being with Liyana's family today, and I am so glad that Sitti liked me and I even made her think of her beautiful old days!
 * 4.(p.255-264)Omer's Journal: March 12th**

Dear my Diary, I opened my old notebook today. Everyone was asleep, and I read the journal right before I left the United States. It was well going, but it stopped in the middle after saying that I want a map of littleness and so on. Even though I wrote it, I had no idea why I stopped writing in the middle of an important sentence. However, I didn't really care about that and I wrote that everyday is a differnt map. I think the little inches of the map was the process of Omer, my friend changing me. It seems like Sitti and Poppy likes Omer now, and they would like him more and more as the time goes by. I wish Omer can change all of my family's thoughts, lasting as my friend.
