Dear Ms.Welker I am reading :Island of the blue dolphins. It is by:Scott O'Dell. I predict that it is about an island with lots of dolphins I predict this from the pictures on the cover .I also predict that a girl or boy is friends with the dolphins. I predict this from the other from other books I have read about dolphins and islands.
When I was reading I came across the word Aleut. I was not sure what it meant. So I asked my grandma & she was not sure . I looked it up on dictionary.com it meant : Native Americans who lived on a chain of islands off the coast of Alaska.I found it in the sentence :I remember the day the aleut ship came to our island.I had a question that I was wanting to ask it is.Do they own the island ?The answer is no . My next question was Why does it say our island. I do not know that is all my responding.
