Report Section
Dancing Fox has managed to run away from Crow Caller's group in the confusing storm. She lives on her own with Talon (a female elder). Fox has become a skilled hunter and Talon is teaching her how to make her own spears and other weapons that could save Fox's life. Fox dreams about meeting Runs In Light again and cannot get him out of her mind. She puts all her hopes that he will come to the Renewal, which is when all the People meet and celebrate the new "year" and pay respects to the animals that have been sacrificed for the People survival. Though she is scared because she knows that Raven Hunter and Crow Caller (who unfortunately survived the storm even though his age) would be there. Though she is unknowing that Runs In Light and his group is sheltering at Herons place. Runs In Light's group is going to join the Renewal since they believe that the cause of these disasters are because their tribe did not go last year. Though Heron has told Runs In Light that he has to become a true Dreamer and to do that he has to open himself to the One Life which connects everything in their world. He has to let go of Runs In Light and find his true self. He tries this by sitting for days trying to clear his mind but he can't. He does not want to loose himself and he knows that letting go of everything would mean to let go of Dancing Fox. He is faced with a choice, if he refuses his powers he would become like Crow Caller. He makes his decision and says no to Herons teachings then heads out and follows the tracks of his group hoping to get to the Renewal in time. Though on his way he meet Broke Branch who is heading in the opposite direction, she tells him that she it too old for the long journey and is heading back to Heron. She accuses him for fleeing form his destiny and after an argument Runs In Light knows and had known all along that he was ting carelessly and like a fool since he was holding he fate of peoples lives in his hands and decides to head back with Broken Branch. At the Renewal Dancing Fox gets to know this and she becomes worried and does not understand why that cannot be together even though he is a Dreamer. People are celebrating at the meeting until Raven Hunter and some other men form the People arrive and Raven Hunter gets everyone's attention when holding up a bloody spear. It was not allowed to kill animals during the Renewal but Raven Hunter soon tells them that he and the other men have just killed a group of the Others. Raven Hunter preaches about how they should stop fleeing and how they should keep their pride and fight back. Many of the younger men join but the ones who followed Runs In Light did not want to go, though a man in Runs In Light's group called Singing Wolf said he would go with them only to see what happens, this was because they all knew that Raven Hunter would probably lie about what happened to keep is glory and statues if they returned. The group of men head further into the Others territory, they come across villages where they kill everyone. They mercilessly kill men, elders, women, children and infants. Raven Hunter does not kill them directly, he makes the deaths slow and painful. He believes that the few survivors that managed to escape would pas the word to other clans of the Others and that they would cower in fear. After three villages have been destroyed they come a cross fourth where Singing Wolf comes across a woman called Blueberry who is his cousin and was taken by the Others years ago. They take her with them and she tells them that the Others are just the beginning. They are actually called the Mammoth Clan and are very strong. Though they have been forced too flee due to the Glacier clan who is an unknown enemy, Blueberry says that they are different for any other clan there is. They have pale skin and fur everywhere, they are huge and came in gigantic trees over the sea (boats). And in between the Mammoth clan and the Glacier clan are three clans who try to fight the Glacier clan called the Tiger Belly clan, Round Hoof clan, and Buffalo clan.

What do you think about what you have read?
What do you think about what you have read?
I think that the war starting just got much more complicated and that Raven Hunter and his group have become so violent that it is almost impossible to read a page about them attacking villages without feeling upset about the innocent babies and children they kill. Has your recent reading fulfilled your expectations?
Yes, i knew that Raven Hunter was going to wage a war against the Mammoth People though I never expected that there were more clans involved in this war and that there was a much more powerful force attacking the Mammoth People.What do you expect for your continued reading?
I that Rave Hunter ignores Blueberry's warnings since he did not believe them and that he will continue to attack the people until he is overpowered and might die. How satisfied are you with what you have read?
I read as much as I planned on reading this week though I did not have much tome to read this week so I read everything in one day which was not very smart.

Passage Section
"A tiny boy, barley three, crawled madly from beneath the loge cover, tears streaking his dirty face "Get him! He'll grow up to kill us!"... "No!" Singing Wolf shrieked, tear filling his eyes as he watched the rock hurtle downward, smashing they boy's head." (p 195)
I choose this passage because it made me feel really sad since I have a three year old brother and I can not understand why Raven Hunter would do such a horrible thing as killing innocent children.
