d.f.m.f.

He is continuing his trip in Kenya meeting his fatherswives and talking to them about his fathers death.
I wonder why he wants to talk to his fathers ex wives about there relationship.

I think a big par of this chapter is remorse. I think Obama is remorsefulo for not seeing his dad a lot.

Watch Your Whiskers, Stilton!

By Geronimo Stilton
This Book is about a mouse who runs a newspaper called the Rodent's Gazette. Stilton's, the mouse, newspaper has stopped being sold all over New Mouse City because a misterious rat has paid off all the news stands to stop selling them.

I wonder why someone would want to shut down the most popular news paper in N.M.C.

Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town

Harvest Moon
Pg. 43 Quintin has just learned he inherited a farm from an old man he met long ago and has started his hard work on his new farm.

I predict that the farm will thrive in the coming seasons, and will grow.

I wonder why the people that live in his new town, Mineral Town, are so reliant on him even though he is just getting used to country life.

D.F.M.F.

Pg.330 Obama has taken an extended trip to Kenya to visit family and learn more about his father.

I predict that this will be a life-changing trip for Obama seeing that it is is first time being in Africa, and that he will learn so much about his families history.

In this part of the book Africa definitely plays a huge role in his life and he might make some life-changing decisions.

Pg.273 At this point in the book Obama has a lot of family visiting. His sister and aunt have come, and he traveled to Washington D.C. to see his brother.

I wonder why Obama always thinks about who and what his dad was and why it has such a big conection with his life.

I think family plays a big role in this section of the book, It helps Obama know more about his and his fathers history.

D.F.M.F.

Pg.163 Obama is really gaining momentum with his community organizing job in Chicago and he is starting to get a lot of the local churches involved. the problem is that Obama himself has a problem with faith and religion.

I predict that religion will continue to play a big part in his organizing, and that he will need to change something before he can move on in his life.

Through out this whole part of the book one word is continuously said and talked about, faith. At the end of every meeting he has with a priest or a deacon they always ask him about his faith and he always says he hasn't figured it out yet.
