MESSAGE:
I think that Marty will keep buying food and sending table scraps out for Shiloh. Now that Marty's mom has found out he's probbly really going to try to make sure that nobodyelse finds out. Now more than ever frome Judd Travers. He also has to think fast about what to do abot Shioh because he only has twenty - four hours to think.

I think that Marty feels sad that the german shepard tore up Shiloh.
I think that Shiloh will get better. David was very surprised that Marty had Judd's dog up on the hill.

MESSAGE:
I think Marty feels bad for Shiloh because Shiloh got hurt by the dog. Today's chapter said that Shiloh was about half better. That made me feel better too. I wonder how the story will end?

MESSAGE:
I'm afraid that Judd will kick Shiloh really bad when he finds out that Marty has Shiloh. I think that Marty will now have to share the dog with his family. Marty may try to hide Shiloh out at David's now because they have a lot of money to buy food.I also think Marty is feeling better now thta his parents know his secrte. What do you think.

MESSAGE:
I think that Shiloh will get better and Marty will come up with a way to keep him. If he keeps Shiloh, I think his mom and dad will approve of it. They will let Marty keep Shiloh in the house because it is such a safe place. Even though Marty was wrong about lying,I think he deserves to keep Shiloh. Shiloh would like it if Marty got to keep him. I think that Shiloh would be happy if he was not ever returned to Judd. Do you think that Shiloh will get better quickly? Do you think Marty will get to keep Shiloh?

We talked about how Judd and Marty are diffrent and alike and we ansered some questions

I think Judd is going to say that Marty is going to be able to buy Shiloh.

MESSAGE:
I think Shiloh is a good book. I think Phyllis Reynolds Naylor had some good ideas for Shiloh and some great characters like Judd, Marty, and Ray Preston. I think Phyllis had a good begining and ending parts. I think putting the part about Shiloh getting ripped up by the Bakers Germon Sheperd was a good part to add to make the story more exciting and good, because you do not know what is going to happen. Is Judd going to get Shiloh or will Shiloh die or will he live and Marty get to keep Shiloh? I think it was an exciting book.

Matthews Elementary

MESSAGE:
I think Marty is nice because he is risking Shiloh's life, by not bringing Shiloh back to Judd. I also think Marty is nice because Marty said he would pay for the vet when Shiloh got hurt. Marty also lies to keep Shiloh safe. I also think Marty is nice because he is working for Judd to keep Shiloh.

(This is an answer to Matthew's question.)

MESSAGE:
I think someone will find out that Marty has a dog because Dara Lynn almost found out, but Marty told her there were snakes on the hill. So I think someone will find out soon.

I like the book Shiloh. We talked about how many lies Marty has told about Shiloh. We put lots of things but there is one thing, when Marty went to David's house he showed Marty his pet. Do you think Marty is going to get cought?
