Anand arrived at his house and the old man that Anand met a day before was in front of his door, knocking. His sister, Meera noticed that man was there, she went closer to Anand. The old man told a long story while eating meal that Anand cooked.

__Chapter 3: The Silver Valley__(plot) The old man tells the story of the Silver Valley to Anand. Throughout the text, the old man expresses his feelings about the story. After the man telling the story, the man requests Anand for a journey. The reason of journey was to protect the conch. Although, Anand was very eager to go, he couldn’t leave his family. So Anand tells the man that he cannot go because of his family.

__Chapter 4: What Anand Saw__(plot) After the meal, the man shows Anand and Meera the mango that Anand lost. They ate each slice and they decide to leave one for Anand’s mother. The old man also shows the conch to Anand, the man takes it from him and tries to heal Meera by saying things. At the same time, Anand sees something bad. Later, their mother comes back home. Anand cries that night and he couldn’t sleep. However, Anand himself didn’t know the reason why.

__Chapter 5: The Message__(plot) In Anand’s dream, Meera was calling Anand in an energetic voice. Anand realized that the man healed Meera which made his mom satisfied. His mother accepted Anand for his journey. While Anand was finding place to sleep, he met a girl and that girl tells him that she would help him.

__Chapter 6 Things aren’t what they seem (Plot)__ Anand and the sweeper girl were struggling to go pass the ticket man at the station but an old man comes in to the scene and helps them get through. Anand is grateful of his kindness but the girl tells Anand to be careful and not to trust him so easily. Eventually, three of them get on the train and Surabhanu starts to attack them in a way so that they could feel the fear. During the attack, the boy who sells the candy passes by and Surabhanu think of him as a disguised Abhaydatta. When Surabhanu’s attention is towards attacking the candy boy, Anand and the sweeper girl successfully escapes the scene.

__Chapter 7 The Meeting Point (Plot)__ Anand and the sweeper girl successfully escape the attack. While they are running away they come across a poor old woman on the street and Anand kindly gives her money. The girl, again being very suspicious, tells Anand to be careful and not to trust her either. After receiving the money, the old woman tells them about Esplanade and a banyan tree and so they decide to go to Esplanade. When they finally reach Esplanade, they meet Abhaydatta. When the three of them meet, Abhaydatta decides to name the sweeper girl. The girl chose the name Nisha. While they are together they had to pretend that they were Abhaydatta’s grandchildren. Nisha, in particular, very much enjoys being around Abhaydatta. The chapter ends with them riding and falling asleep on the bus.

__Chapter 8 A Change of Plans (Setting and Plot) Setting__ The setting of this chapter is an old, unpleasant inn. They choose this particular inn because the Healer thought it was safer for them to stay there instead of some other fancy places. The book describes the outside of the inn as paintings peeled off and the shutters on the windows were barely hanging with a terrible smell around the building. __Plot__ There was a sudden change of plan and this was because of the Surabhanu’s movement. They decided to change where to get off the bus and goes in to the inn that doesn’t look very pleasant from outside. Although they are suspiciously questioned at first by the middle aged man who seems like the owner why they chose this particular inn over a nicer and more expensive inn, they tell him that they would rather stay at a place where it is run by honest people. Before they go to bed, Abhaydatta carefully tells them what they have got to do just in case they get separated from each other and gives Anand his conch. That night, Anand has a weird dream of a lady telling him to get away from Abhaydatta. Controlled by his dream, he tries to kill Abhaydatta but wakes up in the end, feeling horrible fear, realizes that he was being controlled by Surabhanu. __Chapter 9 The One-eyed dear (Character and Plot)__ __Character__ There are three main characters in this chapter: Nisha, Anand, and the Healer. Nisha doesn’t have anyone around her and she was alone for quite some time. This is probably the reason why she enjoys being around Anand and especially around Abhaydatta. She pretends to be his granddaughter even when they are alone. It makes Anand even wonder how she could be so happy. Anand, on the other hand, used to live with his mother and her sister. He is very kind and gentle, as you could tell from the first chapter when he gives his own food to the Healer. He is very responsible, independent and mature for his age because he had to work for his family at his early age. The Healer is an old man with special power who takes care of these two children and is a guiding figure who always protects them. __Plot__ Nisha wakes Anand up and tells him to hurry because they are going to have the meal at the station. He briefly thinks about the horrible dream he had. They left for the station as the Healer (Abhaydatta) pays the inn keeper with cash. This makes Anand wonder where he gets all the cash from. He also wonders how Nisha is always happy around Abhaydatta, acting like his real granddaughter. Nisha asks Abhaydatta to tell her a fairy tale story and so he starts to talk about the one-eyed dear who was killed by the hunter when it was least expecting it to be killed. Anand feels the message of the story that he must always be cautious because he never know when the hunter, Surabhanu, is going to get him. They get off the train after two days have passed and decide to stay by themselves instead of going to the inn. They buy things from the market and walks along the snow. The Healer gives Anand and Nisha a test in which they both pass but he tells them believe in themselves more than relying on the conch. __Chapter 10 The Voice in the Night (Plot)__ They decide to stay at the cave. Before she falls asleep, Nisha keeps on asking Anand about Surabhanu but he doesn’t tell her anything. In the middle of the night, the Healer asks Anand to watch the cave. He washes his face and stares at the fire. He sees his mother’s face from the fire flames. Mother calls out his name and he calls her back. He hesitates at first, thinking that it must be another trick of Surabhanu. And then suddenly, strong wind blows and blows out the fire. He feels something weird and calls out help for Abhaydatta. He tries to reach for the conch but he knows that it could be another trick by Surabharu. However, he cannot help the force of trying to take out the conch against his own will. He wasn’t able to stand up but he could see Nisha on the other side of the cave, terrified with her eyes wide open and there was no sight of Abhaydatta.**

Old Yeller (pp. 51-58) **  __ The author’s background. __ Fred Gipson wrote the story. He was grown up in the farm and his father always used to tell him many stories. His stories are all inspired by his background life at Texas. He likes adventure stories.  __ Plot-the major events in the story. __ The major event in the story is on the part where Arliss holds the bear’s cubs’ legs. And the bear cub was whimpering and crying and clawing the rocks. When his mother came to save him. In the part where the bear cub’s mom was about to rescue the cub, Arliss was in trouble. Travis, his mom, and Old Yeller ran to save him and finally, while Old Yeller was fighting in a serious way, his mom got Arliss. Old Yeller was fast, so everybody was able to be safe.  __ Setting-describe it. Also, how does it add to the story? __ The setting is the Texas hill country. However, the major event happened in Birdsong Creek where Arliss almost got killed by the bear. Since the major incident happened in Birdsong Creek, readers could say that the setting is in Birdsong Creek also.  __ Characters. Describe them. Do they seem real? Likable? Why? __ There are four characters and they are papa, mama, Travis, and Arliss. At first, the main character, Travis seemed to be against having animals as pets, but the good thing is that Travis is nice and always waiting to help the people that he thinks that he can trust. Arliss is little and he doesn’t know that much things since he’s young. The major event is caused by this character, little Arliss. Arliss has many things(bugs) in his pocket like what other young boys do. The last character is mama. During the part that Arliss was about to be killed, mama did her best to save him. It shows her love to her children. I personally like the characteristics of mama because she wasn’t strict but she was caring and considerable.  __ Your favorite part of the story. __ When I was reading this story, my favorite part was where Travis, Old Yeller, and mama did their best to save Arliss. This part highlighted the importance of having a family. And the fact that even if Old Yeller was a dog, he did what he needs to do to protect his owner and also his family. By that incident, Travis learns that he can love dogs and really trust them. The story was coming like a true incident to my life while I was reading and I was able to realize how important having a family is throughout the text. **

Saving Shiloh (pp. 59-65) The author who wrote “Saving Shiloh” is Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. She became a writer because her parents read her bed time stories all the time. She was inspired to write this story because she saw the dog that was afraid of her in a place called Shiloh in West Virginia. Even on her free time she thinks about what to write next. I guess she really loves writing. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> __ Plot-the major events in the story. __ The major event was when Shiloh dived in to the water to save Dara Lynn.

He dives into the river to save Shiloh at last and Shiloh gets saved eventually. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> __ Setting-describe it. Also, how does it add to the story? __ The main setting was the river with its strong current. The main event happened at the river when Dara Lynn, Shiloh and Judd jump into the water. The setting of the river with strong stream is important because without the danger of falling into the river there would be no thrilling part in the theory. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> __ Characters.

Even though Shiloh is a dog he acts like human being because he tried to save Dara Lynn in the story. Dara Lynn, on the other hand, is a trouble maker. It was her that got herself into the water because she was poking Marty. She makes troubles. Judd was not viewed as a very good person in the beginning but this view changes in the end when he saves Shiloh by throwing himself in the water. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> __ Your favorite part of the story. __ My favorite part of the story was when Judd tries to save Shiloh. This is my favorite part because it was so unexpected and it made both me and the other characters in the book to change the view towards Judd Travers. He turned out to be a nice person in the end. **

When the Germans come into Annemarie’s house to search for the Rosens family, it is very scary and thrilling at the same time which makes the book interesting to read. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> __ Characters.

Kirsti is immature because she is younger than the two other characters. Ellen is good friends with Annemarie and she is a Jew. When they play with each other it looked realistic. They are likable because they act very sweet by playing “Gone with the Wind” and how they talk about the fish shoes as well. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> Your favorite part of the story.
