Quote 1: page 187 said by Valentino
"In front of me, I saw nothing but boys, some of them bathing in the water. Behind me, there was nothing but darkness and a path."

Significance: This has to do with the questions because when you are traveling, you never know what you are going to run into. Good things, or Bad things. This one ended up being a river to bathe in, and this one ended up being his long lost friend, William K.

Character Judgement: I think that after Valentino found his friend, he would be so happy because he had made that 6 week journey with people that he didn't know, and he thought that he lost William K, but then he found him.

Question 1: If you just found one of your best friends after about six weeks thinking that they were dead, how would you react? what would you do?

Quote 2: page 208 said by Valentino:
"The food I had eaten gave me strength, as had the secret of the round-bellied man, and yet i was relatively certain that I was dying."

Significance: I think that it is so sad that even though he ate, Valentino, and all the other boys are so weak from running, walking, and hiding all day everyday for the past month and a half ish.

Personal connection: I think that I would defiantly not make it after all those days with so little food, and sometimes no food for up to a week. I feel bad for Valentino, because if I were him, I think I would feel like I was dying too

Question 2: How would you feel if you were in Valentino's position after eating, and feeling like you are dying?
