Julie of the Wolves~ Lit Circle

1. How your groups discussion helped your understanding of the novel.

This week, my book group did a discussion about our Lit Circle. 
Literature circles are assigned to help us understand the book better, the groups are organized by any book I chose the same as my classmates. I picked Julie of the wolf, it's great! But, from looking at other people's expression about their book, they're not really happy about it. 
My group's discussions helped my understanding about the novel much more than what I knew. In Lit Circles, every student had to make a question about the chapter they are reading and make a response so that they can share it to their group members. Especially for this one, I think that this had always been the most important part because, it may remind us for some part we might forgot or didn't get clearly. It was like when I forgot why the main character is called Miyax not like the title, which is Julie. Even morethere are few answers I never would have thought of and luckily someone from my group had. We always have something to receive that is important to us, in discussions there are always sounds like; '' Ohh ya...'' or '' but she...'' Our discussions was very interesting because the passages we chose are different but we kind of had similar reasons or fact about the novel.

2. Connections that you made during your discussion

There are a bunch of events during our discussion which relates to this question am answering. First, without even realizing it I remembered the word ''similar'' I used in my top paragraph, is about the passages for our ''Why ? the passage is important'' So, even the work we have done separately has connections to each other! This was cool because, we had comments in time listening to my group members Sidney and Li Yen. ''What? I thought...'' and ''I know!'' it brought us to even more discussions. One of my connection was the chemistry between Miyax and Silver (a wolf) to Mafatu and Uri in the book Call It Courage, Sidney and 
Li Yen was like ''Ohh yaa :)''

3. Predictions.
Now, I am glad I have not read until the part it tells about my most excited prediction. My prediction is that Miyax will have a favorite wolf and will sleeps beside her in her little space. But it would not be that simple, I think that they two will have emotional parts because the wolves are going to move in any time. Miyax would be helped to move with the pack, after that, a character will get sick and they take care of each other. I do not think Miyax would go to San Francisco just yet in the next maybe (part II), in my opinion that would be the last thing she will do after all the events she will have with the wolves.
