1. There is a fire at the village. Bright Morning's father suspects the Spanairds.
2. They solve the problem by filling jars of water to drink. They found a berry tree and ate off of that.
3. Tall Boy is a very acurate shot with the lance. I don't think he should have done that incase he missed to Spanaird. Also if he missed then the Spanairds would know where they are hiding.
4. There are tears unshed becase they are holding it in. No I havn't been in a situation like that. I think that is strange that you can't cry when you need to.

1. The first message from the lookout is that the Long Knives were destroying their village-fire.....
The father thinks that they will leave after they burned down the huts.

2. The clan solves the problem with the water by sneaking down at night to refill the jars. Then, they catch a rain to drink. Also, they discover a crevice that will supply them with water for the rest of the summer. When the food supply runs out, they move farther into the canyon.

3. Tall Boy had thrown the lance at the leader of the Long Knives, and it had swereved and missed the leader. Then, it broke into two by the leader's horse's feet, making the horse act up. Tall Boy runs away for cover, and the Long Knives look for the one who threw the lance. Then, they discover the Navahos. I don't think he should of done this; they would maybe still be not captured if he didn't.

4. The villagers don't cry because they knew they were going to be captured. Yes, I have, and the reason is kind of wierd. i did live in a log cabin before I came to Ceresco. I grew up there, and the 46+ acre land, but now since I had moved, I really miss it. Sometimes I just think the memories I had there, but I do not cry because I know it is over with and I can't ever move there again. (Unless the lady that moved there dies or moves again) but I don't really wish for that. I'd have to wait until she's gone, or until I'm grown up.

1. The first message from the messengers is that there is a fire in the village. Bright Morning's father predicts that their houses would only be ashes.
2. They fill some clay jars with water. When the food supply runs out, they find a berry tree and eat off of that.
3. Tall Boy's lance splits down the middle after he throws it and it hits a tree. Then he ran away.
4. Their tears go unshed becuase they want to appear stronger than that. Yes, I have been through a situation like this. It was when I was taken into foster care. I was being seperated from my mother, yet I could not cry.
