Literature Circle Reflection 3

My literature Circle discussion made me think deeper and more clearly about the whole story of Charlotte Doyle. Every one's least favorite part is when Zachariah was beaten to death, we all agreed that it was unfair for the captain to chose Zachariah as the victim. One of our group member's discussion question is why did Captain Jaggery choose Zachariah? Our answer to it is the captain probably think that Zachariah is small and old, so he can be easily bullied. i can see everyone worked hard on their literature circle, they all have at least 1 page! Me and Ian's favorite part is when Charlotte was climbing the mast, but the girls favorite part is when Charlotte moved out of the cabin and something else later on in the story. After we shared our passages and questions, everyone shared their vocabulary words. The words that we didn't know were mainly parts of the ship, there are diagrams at the almost last page that shows different parts of the ship and what it is called. She changed a lot, from a weak,passive girl to a strong, independent crew.
