1. How did Elenor feel when she thought about Mab and Guilimente? In what way are her thoughts about them similar ? How does she see them as being different? Give examples from the book. Elenor felt extremely sad when she thought about Mab and Guilimente and she started to cry. Elenor thought that Mab and Guilimente were the same because, They both were very close and special to her. in the book Elenor said that “They both wouldn't of made the trip though because mab would've broken her ankle and the child wouldn't have made it this far. -Logan

Elenor felt sad when she thought about Mab and Guillemette because she loved them both so much and to lose them was just heartbreaking. Her thoughts about them are similar because she loves them both and in times of need they are there to comfort her. They are different because 1, Mab is a horse, and 2, because Elenor is more attached to Mab because she has known her for longer. By Manny

**I think she missed Guilimente and Mab a lot because they were both so dear to her heart. In similarities they were both rambunctious and in a way sister-like and still a great friend. I differences mab is a horse and guillimente was a little girl. -Cally **

Elenor said that she missed having Guillemette’s hand in hers and missed Guillemette’s curiosity. Elenor turned to show Guillemette a shepherd on stilts and remembered that Guillemette wasn’t there. Elenor missed Mab’s fuzzy face and felt like she was carrying a stone in her chest. Elenor had a flashback of the day her sister was born. The sorrow and the painful words that her sister and mother were dead. Elenor’s sorrow about Guillemette and Mab relate because they were both her best companions. Mab was a horse that Elenor could hug and talk to and Guillemette was like a good little sister that she never had. **By Lizzy**

2. How do you know that Eleanor missed Guillemette and Mab (her horse)? What details did the author use to describe the emotion? I knew Elenor was upset because in the book Elenor seems really desperate when she is talking to other people and she cries when she thinks about Guillemette and mabs. The author said that Elenor felt like she had a stone in her throat. I know that when you get that feeling it is because you are trying not to cry but really have to and usually are upset about something. -Grace

You know that she missed Guillemette because it says that she missed him most of all because she missed his constant curiosity and his hand in hers. You could tell that she missed mab because she described that she was sad that mab might have broken her leg. She also was sad because she loved mab and missed her fuzzy face. -Luke

I know that Elenor missed her horse Mab and her friend Guillemette because the author wrote in the book “She had not been so sad for a long, long time, but the sadness she felt now, missing Mab ,missing Guillemette, seeped into an old sadness like spreading water. Elenor also misses Mab and Guillemette because she spent so much time with them and became so connected with them. Once you are connected with someone or another animal it is very hard to let them go.

The author used very interesting and unique words to describe Elenor’s feelings. When Elenor saw her first Shepherd she bent down to touch Guillemette’s head and to show her but then realized she wasn’t there. Since Elenor was so sad she tried to reason with herself why Mab and the kids couldn’t have come on this trip to try to make herself feel better. Elenor then remembered her sister who died and her mother who also died which was a comparison to leaving Mab and Guillemette behind. All of these aspects of this part of the book gave me a greater understanding of how Elenor felt. - **Remy**


 * I know Eleanor missed Guillemette because in the book she says she missed her most of all. She missed having a hand in hers and her gentle, persistent curiosity. I know that Eleanor missed Mab because she said she missed her fuzzy face and that made her ache. She felt like she had a stone in her stomach. She was afraid because mab could have gotten hurt.- Cam **


 * Elenor was really sad that she had to sell mab for food. mab was her favorite horse. Mab led her through journeys faster than walking. Mab was definitely one of Elenors greatest animals that she felt as close to as a sister-Dylan **

The author depicted Eleanor as very sad, saying Guillemette was like a sister to her and Mab was her bestest friend. - Liam

I know that Elenor missed Guillemette and Mab so much because the author had said that she gave a big sigh and that she hadn’t been that sad for a long time. Also she was remembering what she missed about them like Mab’s fuzzy face and how she could talk to him and hug him. And how Guillemette was like a little sister. She used to stand by Elenor’s side and when she first left, Elenor looked back but she wasn’t there. The author had also explained that she was crying.-Genna

The author included Eleanor saying that she missed guillumette most of all this makes the reader know she liked guillumette a lot and makes it sadder for her to be gone. Then it describes what she misses about her which make that bit more powerful. The part thinking of mabs fuzzy face made my heart ache is good for making it seem that Mab was a very good friend. - **Leif**

As Elenor fought off mosquitoes and trudged through the thick waters of the marsh, she “missed having Guilimette’s hand in hers and missed the child’s gentle persistent curiosity. Elenor frequently gave “big size” to help her with her sadness. She also thought a lot about her horse Mab that she had sold. Elenor thought a lot about Mab’s fuzzy face, which made her heart ache “ as if she were carrying a stone around in her chest.” She had not been this sad for a long long time. “Missing Mab and Guillemette seeped into an old sadness like spreading water.” Missing both of them made Elenor remember the death of her mama, and her little sister. Her sadness was very deep. As she walked through the marsh bare foot, jagged broken shells cut her feet. Elenor welcomed this pain because it took away her feelings of sadness. **-Erika**

2. I know that Eleanor missed Guillemette and Mab because she Couldn’t get them out of her mind. Every time Eleanor saw something she thought was interesting she’d turn to Guillemette, only to realize she wasn’t by her side anymore. She missed Mab but when she thought about Mab in the marsh she felt better that she wouldn’t hurt herself. **-Zoe**

3. How did Eleanor’s and Thomas’s feelings toward people in other religions change over the time of the pilgrimage? Explain how their feelings changed. They used to look at them as weird people that believe wrong but now they look at them as people that have a different way of looking at god. They are all the same god but they look at them differently. -Luke

Elenor and Thomas didn’t like the people with different religious beliefs. On the pilgrimage once they met the new people they realised that the people weren't so different than themselves so they became more friendly with the people. When Elenor and Thomas were more friendly with the people the people became more friendly with them. -Logan

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">** Eleanor’s and Thomas’s feelings on religion really changed during the pilgrimage, especially Elenor's. Thomas's feelings changed also, he doesn't come down on people about their religion anymore. Elenor showed she can be understanding to people from other religions because she was really respectful of Hassad who was a Saracen and a Muslim.-Xavier **

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Elenor and Thomas first thought that Christian should be the only religion and thought of the other religions as wrong. This is because they did not know anything about the other religions. But their feelings changed on the pilgrimage. They learned about these other religions and respect them. Also they didn’t know how similar the religions are. -Genna

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Well I think their feelings changed because got to talk to a saracen and ask him about his religion. I think she feels she has more in common than she thought before she had a talk with the saracens. - **Leif** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I think that Eleanor and Thomas’s feelings changed because they met so many people that they cared about and were different religions. I think they learned that you can’t judge people for their religion. Also, they really didn’t respect people who were lower than them. Then when they met other people that were lower than them and that completely changed them because they were so similar to them. -CALLY **

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">3.When Eleanor fell while looking for Greatheart, a man named Pierre saved her and as she healed she learned more about the Sarasin religion. She also learned more about The Muslim religion from Pierre’s friend Hassad. Thomas started to think more critically about the Crusades and why the Christians hated the Muslims so much.**-Zoe**

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">4. If you were Elenor would you have gone to find Greatheart? Explain why. If I were Elenor I would have gone to find greatheart because he was my dog and I would have loved him. I also couldn’t stand losing Mabs, Guillemette and Greatheart. I would have taken someone else with me like Thomas and told other people besides Martin that I was going to try and find the dog. I also would have told them where I was going to try to look for him just in case I got lost and/or hurt just like Elenor did. I wouldn’t worry about the other pilgrims having to wait for me because I would know that if a dog was lost they would have to understand and not get angry.-Grace

If I were Elanor I would go to get greatheart because I would be responsible if anything bad happened to him. I also would have been more careful as I went through the big rocksI myself would have taken 2 other people u can never be too cautious. I would never be trusted and as the Lady of Ramsay they need to trust me.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Personally I would go after my dog because I love dogs and think that it is cruel to leave them out to starve. If I were a person in the Middle ages I might have less of a care for dogs because they were not as well respected then as they are now. I would go after the dog to get it back because I was just devastated by losing my other friends Mab and Guillemette that I could not bare to lose another. I think Elenor liked the dog because it was something to make her feel good in a time of loss. - **Remy**

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If I was Elenor I would have gone to find greatheart because she didn’t want to part with greatheart like she had to do with mab. I also would've wanted to get greatheart back because he could help keep me alive in the future like hunting, protection and being a friend so I don’t get lonely. Elonor also missed greatheart because she missed his fuzzy face. -Logan

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">** If I were Elenor I would run after Greatheart. I would run after Greatheart because I wouldn't want to lose a animal I liked and Greatheart would make me feel better about losing Mab. Another reason I would run after Greatheart is because I wouldn't want him to get hurt in the wild.-Xavier **


 * Yes, I would have definitely gone to find Greatheart because I love puppies and I wouldn't want him to starve or get lost. Plus, he was a gift from Martin and I owe it to him to find him and not let anything happen to him. I would be bored on the trip so It would be a break to do something action.- Cam **

** If I was Elenor I would have gone to save Greatheart because not many people have a dog at that time of life. Greatheart would have meant a lot to me because of the adventures we could have to together.-Dylan **

=<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If I were Eleanor I would go find greatheart because it is mine and I would be very very afraid of what might happen. I would bring someone along to make sure that I don't get hurt like Eleanor did.-Claire =

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Yes I would, I would because I love animals and if I were actually on this journey, I would also do it because I would like to take a break from it. - Liam

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If I was Elenor I would have also gone to find Greatheart because I had just lost my horse and Guillemette so I wouldn’t want to lose him too! Another reason is because not a lot people had dogs at that time so he was like a treasure. Also I love dogs. By Manny

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I would look for Greatheart because Elenor has already lost plenty that meant a lot to her. She lost Guillemette and Mab. Not only that, but she had just gotten Greatheart. And Greatheart probably won’t do so well all alone. He very well might be scared. -Genna

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Yes I would because he was a present from a friend I think she liked him very much. Also I think a dog would be sort of hard to come by back then because think of how hard it is for people in third world countries to get one now. - **Leif**

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If I were Elenor, I probably wouldn’t have gone to found Greatheart for several reasons. First of all, going to find Greatheart could bring her far away from the group she is with. If Elenor were to go, it might have been better to take someone with her, because it was an unfamiliar territory for her. The land was mountainous and rocky. When Elenor heard a faint howl from across the boulder strewn ridge, she went off without thinking. Although her internal voice told her to not lose track of the path, she foolishly ignored it. She jump from stone to stone, but then fell and hit her head. Now, she was left alone to cope with fainting and being injured. All alone, she wakes up in a strange man’s home. Luckily, he seems to be nice. In fact, when she recovered, the man asked her why she hurried after the dog “so blindly.” Elenor thought that both her dog Greatheart and her former horse Mab were worthy of her thinking of them as being almost like humans. So, if she had not taken herself on this journey for the dog, she would not be alone and injured in a strange man’s home, and the people in her group, especially Thomas, would not be worried. **-Erika**

**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">4. I would find Greatheart because I wouldn’t want to part with another animal again. Also, I am really connected with animals so I would definitely find him. Also, he is someone to talk to and he is a light that you could see when you are sad. -Cally **

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">4. Yes, I would have gone to find Greatheart because he would be my friend. I wouldn’t want to lose my friend. Greatheart would mean everything to me and I wouldn’t want to loose him. If I lost him I would keep looking until I found him. I would feel responsible for him and whatever happened to him. I would just be worried about getting lost.**-Zoe**

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If I was Elenor I would have definitely gone to get Greatheart. I care a lot about animals and since I would have just sold Mab I would want a pet to have around with me. However, to get Greatheart I would have been much more careful than Elenor. I would have slowly made my way through the boulders knowing it was a dangerous terrain. I would probably have taken someone else with me just to be safe since something might happen to me and also so that they could keep an eye on the Way. **By Lizzy**

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">5. Why do you think Martin said that Elenor should find Greatheart by herself. Don’t use the reason Martin gives Elenor, “It’s yourself should go, though. The dog will come more readily to you.”

I think Martin told Elenor she could go find the dog because in the book it says that Martin saw Elenor’s expression. I think he knew by her face that she wanted to be alone and try to find her dog by herself. Also Elenor thought the dog would come to her because Elenor was the dog’s owner and the dog would know her voice and come to her because Greatheart knew her better than Martin who Greatheart hadn't known as much as Elenor. -Grace

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">When Martin said that she should go to find her dog I think it meant a little more than just going and getting her dog. I think it meant going on a little adventure which Elenor likes but also her going and getting one of her friends. By Elenor going and getting her dog I think it meant that she would never lose her friends Mab and Guillemette but that she could always go find them. - **Remy**

=<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I think that Martin said that she should go by herself because the dog knows Eleanor more and he when she got him he was happy to see her. Eleanor is the owner of him as well and if Martin went Greatheart would not know him as well so he might not go to him!-Claire =

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I think Martin let Elenor go because he knew what she was thinking, that Greatheart was her responsibility now and that she wouldn’t want to hold up the group because she’s just trying to find a dog. - Liam


 * I think Martin told her to go look for Greatheart herself because he thought it was now in her care now and she had an obligation to look after it and care for it. He might have sent her to go look for it herself because maybe Martin didn't want to go look for her and baby Eleanor along the way. - Cam **


 * I think Martin wanted Elenor to find Greatheart because she really spent the most time with him and really connected with him.I also think Martin wanted Elenor to find Greatheart because she is an animal lover.-Xavier **

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I think Martin said that Elenor should go alone because Greatheart has probably already grown attached to Martin because he is the one who found Greatheart. So he probably wanted Greatheart to grow attached to Elenor more than him because the whole reason he got Greatheart was so she wouldn’t feel sad about losing Mab and Guillemette. By Manny

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Although Martin told Elenor that her dog would come more readily to her than him, he saw something else in her expression. Martin may have picked up on that Elenor was anxious about Fra Pietro’s well-being. Also, she “ wished she could change bodies” with Greatheart and go running off across the hills herself. So, Martin may have realized that Elenor needed a reason to be on her own and take a small break from the group. **-Erika**

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I think Martin told Elenor that she could go find Greatheart because he probably knew she wanted to run free and escape the long walk on the Way. When Elenor was running she said she felt as nimble and free as a goat. Elenor was probably getting bored of the long pilgrimage and wanted to have a chance to run free and then come back. Martin could probably sense this and wanted Elenor to be happy. **By Lizzy**

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">6..What do you think Melinda was talking about when she said: “My dying place ….here between the mirrors…die here….can’t go to…what awaits me.”
