__Call Me Francis Tucket__ by Gary Paulsen

__**Predictions:**__ I predict that Francis is going to hear something in the woods and accidentally shoot someone whether they're nice or mean.  I predict that Francis is going to run out of food and will have to hunt for himself. I also predict that Francis will find a buddy to come with him to wherever he's going. That would be nice and less lonely. __**Questions:**__ A question that I have is will Francis find more food and will he get to his destination? Also will he find a nice person to hunt with him and care for him? Will Courtweiler and Dubs betray Francis and take his stuff and leave him there with nothing? Good question, and it happened! __**Describe the protagonist (main character):**__ My main character, Francis, looks like a ragged, hungry, tired, young boy. He is friendly, kind, thoughtful person. He is also really brave.  Nice description. The setting of the story is in the desert. It effects the characters because it gets really hot there and the characters will crave water more often. It also makes the animals (horses, mules, oxen, etc.) really hot and thirsty too. Great- the setting also determines the animals he runs into along the way. __**Describe the antagonist (something that opposes or works against the protagonist) and the supporting characters.**__ The antagonists in my book are Courtweiler, Dubs, and the weather. Courtweiler and Dubs are antagonists because they took all of Francis' stuff and left him there. The hot weather is also an antagonist because it makes the characters hot and thirsty. True- I would even say the trail or the situations he finds himself in (alone and them taking care of the kids) could be antagonists. __**Pick out 3 vocabulary words from the book and define them.**__ 1. Blunder-Noun-A thoughtless or foolish mistake <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">2. Halter-Noun-A rope or strap that fits around the head of an animal and is used to lead or tie it. <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">3. Quail-Noun-A bird with brown or gray feathers usually spotted in white. It is a member of the chicken family. __**What is the conflict in the story?**__ <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The conflict in the story is a few things in fact. Courtweiler and Dubs stole Francis' rifle and other stuff. The weather was really hot, and it makes the characters thirsty. Also, Francis found two kids, not saying it's a bad thing, but he only has one horse. <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The protagonist changed through out the story by his personality, and he learned new things. He changed because when he started his journey he didn't know what the consequences were when he is traveling, and now he does. Now that he's gone traveling he knows how dangerous and how scary it is wen going west.
