Skellig

I think mina and Michael fell out because leaky and coot were making fun of her.

Also my views on home-schooling are good because its cheaper and she would not be distracted.

But she would not get as many friends as you would at school.

I think homeschooling is a good idea because you can have one to one training,and it will be quieter than school. But on the other hand it will cost a lot of money and you might find it hard to make friends and your mum/dad might not no things that your teaches no. I can't wait to read more.

I think Michael  and mina fall out because coot and leaky are being mean to her and then she thinks that's what he's like. My views on home schooling  is that it's better because if your thirsty you don't have to weight until the end of the lesson. And if your stuck you don't have to wait very long because it might be just you or 3or4 people.L.H

Chapter 26-29

Mina and Michael fell out because Leakey and Coot were bulling her so she sarcastically singsonged "thank god I was never sent to school,to be flogd into following the style of a fool"but Leakey and Coot still sniggered which also made Michael very angry. My views on homeschooling are that homeschooling is more personal for the person but you don't have the fun with your friends so I think school is better.(AAM)

Mina and Michal have fallen out because Leakey and Coot were bulling Mina though Michal. by saying "Her that sits in a tree like a crow".

Home schooling

Read Chapters 26-29 (pgs 93-103)

Why do Michael and Mina fall out?  What are your views on home schooling?

I think that mina and Michael have taken skellig to a tower and are hoping that he will soon be fit to fly (ET)

I think it's sad because it says strait away that the wires and tubes were in her and her hair was fluffy.and the aroma that David has made is so sad.and Michael was getting closer and closer to crying and then in the end he started crying.and he could here the baby's heart beating and tried to imagine that in would not ever stop beating.lily.h

chap 25

i think the baby is slowly but surely getting worse! But the old lady at the word is relay helping Mich to feel better about the hole skellig & baby worry.

But  David Almond makes the atmosphere tense and sad at the start of chapter 25 by saying tears were streaming down miches parents faces and saying the baby was wired up AGAIN!

Mina is so kind to let skellig stay in her old and abandoned house.were they found skelligs wonderful wings , he was in pain overall because he whimpered in pain all the time . they let him beer,a plastic bowl of aspirin and cod liver oil you would of thought skellig would of ate them but no he just rolled over and whimpered with pain.
       the baby was in  the glass case Micheal heard the tears being pulled back then the baby's breathing ec

I think the place where mina and Michael have taken skellig is a tower. They have discover skellig s wings and I think Michael is going to make him better so he can fly.(SL)

In the beginning of chapter 25 David almond makes the atmosphere tense by using short snappy sentences, by not using any speech so we don't know if the baby is going to die or not and how he is listnening through all the noises so he can here his sisters heart.I can't wait to read more.

I think Michael was very worried about taking Skellig to a new place as I am sure Skellig was to, but he trusted them so he went. I also think that Mina was rude to Michael about his work because she is home schooled and she thinks that you learn more outside. Skellig didn't want Mina to take his jacket off because he didn't want to reveal his original secret. (LS)

David Almond makes the atmosphere tense by using short snappy sentences to describe the baby e.g "She didn't move." Michael heard "scared quick breathing" of his parents. He also made the atmosphere sad by describing how ill the baby is "the wires and the tubes were in her again." And the sadness of michaels parents "I heard them sniffing back their tears."

The guy in the garage has been confirmed to be  SKELLIGY. They have been kind to skelligy by giving him medicine,food,and blankets as well as moving him in to a safer place even though there was a  DANGER sign on the door (j.h)
