i thought Elena was agood book.because"Elena help her family by moving away in the story her town got burned down when she left it".She had to work alot though so that would'nt be fun.
ReplyDeletethey both took a lot of things a little hard
ReplyDeleteI think slow from a boy called slow is one of the bravest.I also think Elena was brave because she left her country & her freinds.Bob lemmons was brave also because he fought the herds leader.
ReplyDeleteI think Elena, Slow, Grace McCance, and Bob Lemons all had courage. Maybe Grace's courage was a little less then the rest of the main characters, but she still had a lot of courage. Elena had the greatest courage in my opinion because she saved her whole family by taking them from the safety of Pancho Villa's army to America. Here is a quote from Elena, "Then she sent us into the back room. We opened the door in theroom a crack so we could here what was happening. Mother took a deep breathe and opened the door."
ReplyDeleteI could probebly compare Elena to Bob Lemons because when he was determined to get excepted into the wild horses and he was courages to be fighting a stallion mustang on his horse Elena was courages because she still cared for her kids even when her husband died people tried to get her to stay but she still went like this "it's not proper for a women to travel unprotected at times mother liked to talk about the old days I had been so small when my father died withn her courage and daring she saved us all."
ReplyDeleteTo possibly compare the courage and the determination, I'd compare it to Slow, because he had the courage to walk up to an enemy, and touch them with a coup-stick. How courgaous is that? Here's an example of bravery when Elena shows courage: "Exuse me a minute," That might be very short, but, I mean, you're talking to a wanted criminal, here! For heaven's sake, I'd be scared out of my wits!
ReplyDeleteOne of the times Elena was courageous was when Pancho Villa knocked on their door and she got scared but was smart so she his all of the horses and the kids inside the house so they wouldn't steal anything. I compared that to Slow's courageous act when he rode up on his horse and touched his coup stick to the guys head. "Mother hesitated a moment, wondering what to do. then she sent us into the back room."
ReplyDeleteI think that her courage was strong and did not let anybody do anything to her. I compared it to Slow who was pretty strong but not as mush as Elena's. Slow went after the leader of the other group whith was strong. But Elena was very strong about her husbands death. " The world is changing around us, we must change, too"
ReplyDeleteI compared Elena's courage with that of Grace McCance. Their delema was mostly the same thing. They both had to flee their homes and go to another place. The McCance's move wasn't as far away from home as Elena"s was, but it was still the same thing. When Elena says, "The world is changing around us, we must change too," she means that the world was changing and they needed to go with it. And that was the same problem for the McCances.
ReplyDeleteIn the theme one land many trails all the characters were very brave but the two that i thought were the bravest were E;ena and slow. Elena is really brave because she traveled all over knowing it was dangerous but she still did it she saved her family's life. Slow was very brave too because he was the first to attack their tribes enemy and when he was ten he killed his first buffalo. " With her courage and daring she saved us all."
ReplyDeleteI'm comparing Elena to Grace McCance because they both had many scary things happened to them. Grace got a HUGE and I mean huge cut from her armpit to her hip. I seriously shutter when I think about it. And after Pablo died Elena "went crazy with greif." both of them had a lot of crazy things happen to them that made their life feel like it was upside down. That has happened to me before trust me. It's NOT fun.
ReplyDeleteElena's courage is simular because she did not get scared when Panch Villa came to their house to get a sombrero. Slow showed courage by rushing out to battle, and driving the enemies away. They are different because Elena had a bad guy come to her house. Slow went out to war where he could have been killed. Like in the story it said," She went to the back room, but still kept the door open."
ReplyDeleteI thought Elena was couragous becasue she did anything to keep her family safe. She hid her son from going into the army,and told her daughters to go into the room with the door closed.Elena had determination to keep and stay with her family."We made a hiding place for Estabon in the kitchen cabinet."
ReplyDeleteElena was a good book.Her courage to the book Slow is almost the same.In the book Slow he charged the other tribe.that was some courage but Elena took care of her family on a long trip by her self."At those times, Mother liked to talk about the old days."
ReplyDeletei think that elena has better courage then grace mcance because she had to talk to one of the most feared person in mexico,panco villa, during the war. and all grace did is stay at the parie and take care of the anmals.i also think that bob had more couage than elena." the wourld is changeing we have to change too."
ReplyDeleteI compared Elena's courage and strength to Slow. They had differerent reasons to have determination, but I think they had equal feelings torward their thoughts, troubles, and tough happenings. Here is an example of Elena being strong torwards bravery,"And in every country and every age, brave men and women had faced terrible dangers. She could do it, too." I compared this quote to Slow's determination to show that his named did not suit him well enough. The two characters are very alike if you measure their bravery and determination close enough.
ReplyDeleteHer courage was very good because she moved into a new house just to keep her children safe.She stayed strong even though her husband died. She also saved Esteban by dreasing him up as the fruit seller, to help him cross the broder." The world is changing around us". Motherd answard." We must change to."
ReplyDeleteI compared Elena and Slows courage.Slow wanted a new strong name and Elena was trying to get out of the village.I think their courage was kind of the same because they both had the same amount of courage.Except Elena was trying to get somewhere and Slow "One day, promised \, he too would have such a strong name."
ReplyDeletei think that slow was brave and corageous when he went ahead of the other worriors as they rode to battle. but i also think that elena was brave to take her family across the border ungarded even though everyone else said it was to dangorous. "everyone urged us not to go."its not propper for a woman to travel alone like that" they said "its to dangorous" "the world is changing around us," mother answered "we must change too."
ReplyDeleteI think the difrece between Grace McCance and Bob Lemmon's courage is diffrent because she moved and left everything behind so she can save her fammily. She left her freinds of a lifetime, home of more then three years, and her family members behind so the children and her can sece to live. Bob's courage is chancing mustanges, hoping not to get lost, not to get killed by hunger,lack of water, or a wild hourseor snakes. He did this so his village can watch mustanges, sell mustanges, or train and ride mustanges.Bob used his courage to keep a hole town in tip-top shape.Now, Grace's courage is her chores. She had to do alot of nasty or hard chores. Like chacing crows,milking cows,washing dishes, and many more.She used her courage to keep her family happy and clean. Hers a quote from Grace saying Grace deals with hard chorse. "As the hefier rushed tords her, Grace flattend herself agenst hay." Heres a quote from Bob lemmons stating Bob keeps his town happy. "The cowboys leaped and cheered as they closed the gate" And lastly heres a quote from Elena saying she sacrafised everything for a good cost.".....did we find out our what happend in our little village. Our freinds killed and our village burned down".
ReplyDeletei thout elena was a great book .i thought bob lemons and elena had alot of courage ."elena helped her family by moving."
ReplyDeleteElena and slow were both brave and courageos.They both took dangeres risks.Weather it was for battling for the clan or trying to save children,they took dangers like no other.They came a long way from being a boy with a silly name and a mother whose husban had died."In all thouse years shen talked about happy times.It was much later when we learn what had happen to our little village.Only when we were grown-strong and full of hope-did we find out it was gone,burned down by the soiders.
ReplyDeleteSlow, Elena, and Bob lemons all had a lot of courage. I think Elena's was probably the best because to walk up to a really bad person is so cool. I also think she is brave because she had to move from city to city,leave her friends, and her house."We had seen his face before. It was Pancho Villa himself!"
ReplyDeletein a boy called slow, slow worked really hard to get his name changed.he fighted a lot so he could get his name changed. Elena had to take care of the kids and do everything by herself."It is not properr for a woman to travel unprotected like that.It is not safe."
ReplyDeletei can compare Elenas braveness w/ Slow cuz Slow wasnt 2 much like his father brave and all that but later than he was stong, brave, and fearless, although Elena was all those things becuse she wasnt afraid of anything.The way i can compare Grace w/ Elena is when the tragity happen 2 the family she felt sad and dissappointed but it didnt 2 much affect her. She had a strong heart just lik elena when the death of her husband.The last person i can compare Elenna 2 is Bob Lemmons.He was a brave man when he tried 2 save his colt. Also Elena "protected" thwe kids when Poncho Villa was there."We had seen the man's face before, on a governmentposter.It was Poncho Villa, himself!"
ReplyDeleteIn a Boy Called Slow, he acted hard and firce so he could change his name.In Elena she worked hard and firce to protect her family, therefore they are the same, yet they have different reasons for there doings. They are both worthy and nice people that have something bad happen in there life. In Elena she has a great loss from her husband when he dies. Also they have to move from there small village.when I read a Boy Called Slow it said he has to suffer from his name.In Elena it comments "We had to leave behind our aunts and uncles, our little house, the furniture,the pictures,the pots and pans and dishes."It must have been really hard leaving everyone and everything.
