Chapter 7 reflection


After reading chapter 7, post a response:
 Mina’s family has arrived on the coast of Texas. As you reread this chapter, make a list of descriptive words and phrases the author used to describe the “paradise” they found when they landed in Texas.

  6. Leia ochoa - mrs.rogers Mina thought they were gonna be on a paradise but it turned out to her it was not a paradise sleeping in a tent and not having a Christmas tree for her family and it sounds like sleeping in a tent with ur family sounds like not every one can fit in the tent and a paradise is a place were u can relax and were u can live in a house or a hotel not in a tent were u have to squeeze in there.

  15. They called it wilderness.flat land
    no trees no house no food no light no animals and no water so I think they can't survive that because water to drink food to eat houses to live and no animals because they get food from animals.

    Paradise is a vaction or a great thing that happen on vaction.They did not have a paradise because they dont want to be there. They did not have a paradise because they did not want to have a bad place to be. They thought it was going to be a great place
