More about ISLAND OF THE SKOG

Q1. Bouncer wanted to stay and fight for freedom and Jenny wanted to leave and go find a peaceful island. How do you feel about what Bouncer wanted to do and how do you feel about Jenny’s suggestion?

I think Bouncer's idea might be too dangerous, because their emenies are all bigger than them , and, of course, they're not afraid of mice!!!Theredore, I think Jenny's suggestion seems to be more safer.

Q2.How did Bouncer become the Captain of the ship?

He was of his own free will,and no one againsted.

Q3.When they learned that they had been sailing toward the North Pole, Bouncer announced that he would quit being the Captain. Why did Bouncer decide to take control again when they reached the Island of the Skog?

I think he's a little fake and is't a responsible mouse.He just want to be the most powerful person but don't want to in charge of any diffcult job.That's not a good model for us to learn.

O4.Think about the part in the story where Bouncer says, “We will build a great kingdom dedicated to the freedom of mice, and I will be the king!” What are your ideas?

Like I said in the third question, he always wnat to be the biggest one and to put the others up to wait on him.

Q5.At the end of the story, Bouncer tells everyone to line up and they will sing and he will lead music. Why does the author have Bouncer do this at the end of the book?

The author just want to let Bouncer's "Leader" dream come true.

Q6.Write you own question about the story. Begin your question with, “Why…?”

Why does the author can think up such fun story,and why the author make mice be the leading character of this book?

Q7.Here is one question from Jalen: “Why did the mice wear so big costumes?”

I think it's because they're just like us , they need beautiful dress to make themselves more beautiful.

Q8.Another question from Ms. Lee: In some book reviews they started their comments by saying “Jenny and her city-mouse friends searched for a peaceful place to live.” Why is Jenny, instead of Bouncer, viewed as the leading character?

For me, Jenny is like a mother among the mice , and Bouncer just like a naughty little kid.
