1. Do any of the Algonquian words that Samuel is learning surprise you? Why are you surprised?
 
2. Do you think Samuel should tell John Smith that Master Wingfield has extra food? Why or Why not?

Yes, The words are very surprising , because i didn't know word like that, but now I do. I think that he should tell someone that master wingfield has a secret, because men are dying but he doesn't care.

Yes because some of the words he is learning we have already known. Yes because he was told to tell people, and not to do things in fear but love.

Some of the Algonquian words suprise me because some of the words they say we say them in English.Yes Samuel should tell John Smith that Maser Wingfield has extra food because thats not fair that he has more food to eat then them and will be very hungry and he is more heathier then them.

Yes,they do surprise me because some of the words we still use such as raccoon. I think Samuel should tell John Smith because the other people are dieing of hunger and he is in a very healthy position.

Yes, because i only knew one of those words. Yes, Samuel should tell Captain John Smith because it's unfair that Master Wingfield has food, unlike the other men who have to eat wormy food and salty water.

The Algonquian words that Samuel is learning, surprises me because, we still use some of the words that he learned, like raccoon. I also think that Samuel should tell John Smith about Master Wingfield having extra food. It is not fair for the other people. He thinks it's not a big a deal because, he doesn't know what is going on. Also, presidents should be kind and caring to the people. He should share food with them.

Yes, Because those words they use some of those words we still use today.Yes, I think he should cause then everyone will know that Master Wingfield is a bad man and even if henry tries to hurt Samuel Captain Smith will protect him!!! And he has a sword and armor that can also protect him.

Yes, the words surprise me because they are really related to the words that we speak today. Yes I think Samuel should tell Captain Smith that President Wingfield has extra food because Reverend Hunt told him he should make his desiccation out of love not of fear.

Yes, the words surprise me because some of the Algonquian words are words that we use today. I bet the Algonquian people still use their language today. I think Samuel should tell Jonh Smith that master Wingfield has extra food. Soon everyone is going to die while eating worms with grain. When Samuel got Jonh Smith breakfast he looked pale, lean, and his cheeks sunken in. Even if Samuel doesn't tell Master Wingfeild the people of Jamestown will notice .

Yes, because we use some of the Algonquian word today in our own language. For example, moccasins is a type of shoe we make and an Indian shoe. I do think Samuel should tell John Smith that Master Wingfield has extra food. If he doesn't all the colonists will surely die of starvation!

Jenny!!!!!!

Yes,Because one of the words is Raccoon and in the English Language, it is also spelled the same way.
Yes,so that the other men will not go hungry.
They will have proper food and will not get sick and die.

Yes I feel surprised that Samuel learned new words because it is a totally diffrent  language. Samuel should tell that Master Wingfield has extra food because Master Wingfield could go to jail and not be president for that.
