My Side of the Mountain

Reread page 665. Sam says that he has never experienced a "more real" Halloween night. Use a "quote" from the story as an example and explain what he means by this in 4 sentences or more.

  1. I think that what he meant by that was alot of little things happened during the party the he thought was important like the fox fighting the other animals and just little things like that. " A bat winged in from the darkness and circled the tallow candle. it was Halloween and the goblins were at work."

  2. He thinks that because there are bats and bats are a part of halloween.Also it was like trick or treat because for the trick a skunk lonched a dreadfull smell into his face.Then for the treat animals were stealing his food."It was halloween and goblins were at work".

  4. What he ment by that was that he was scared. You know, when something scares YOU and you think about it. This is was happened to Sam Gribley. Here's a quote from the story, "It was Halloween and the doblins were at work."

  5. "A bat winged in from the darkness and circled the tallow candle.It was Halloween and the goblins were at work."This quote ment that all the animals were at acting weird and crazy so Sam says they goblins at work.Also when he said at work he meant that they were destroying all his stuff and the racoons were ruining his food that was saved in his house.

  7. He Says that because he heard screaming coming from his house. The fox had red eyes. Their were alot of animals surrounding him. Sam scared them off and looked back and saw red eyes. " The red eyes scared me."

  8. i think he means that was the best halloween he ever had because he was with the animals and he got to see animals that he has never seen before. and he also might not like the regular halloween.for example "in the story he said he likes animals more than people".

  9. In the story it says that the racoons were feeling like they were at home and they snached up beechnuts. all of that had awakednd frightful. "she grabed me so hard i yelled"! After that he said no more notes on halloween.

  10. When Sam said that he never experienced a "more real" Halloween night, he could have ment many things. I think he ment he never had a Halloween like that. People explain Halloween as ghosts, goblins, witches, and spooks. Of course people never relly experience anything like what others think, but, it happened to Sam. He had a scary Halloween, just like people think it should be. "A bat winged in from the darkness and circled the tallow candle. It was Halloween and the goblins were at work." =)

  11. I think that he will be able. to live there because he has animals to. pertect him and his little baby sister and. they could make a house with there .clay they made.

  12. It means that it was probably a night that was most like what Halloween was supposed to be like. They had a Halloween party in the night. The way Sam had explained it and ended it made it seem a little more as a scary situation than an exciting one. Here is a quote to support my answer,"Some looked back and their eyes glowed." To me, glowing eyes is a pretty scary thought.

  13. Sam had a tough night. Frightful grabbed Sam so hard that he was bledding, a skunk sprayed him, and a fox was laughing at him. Even though he was "smelling to the sky, bleeding in the hand, and robbed of patrt of his hard-won food" he learned something. Might is right. The racoon taught him that. He used it, it worked.

  14. I think sam said that because he's in a SCARY forset all ALONE at NIGHT and there is WILD ANIMLES right there with him and can ATTACK him at eny point with BATS flying around.I think it would be scary if I was in that situation and so would lots of people."A bat winged in from the darknees and circled the tallow candle. Halloween and the goblins were at work."

  15. "It was halloween and the goblins were at work."
    i think what he means by this is that the animals were destroying his house like goblins would do. Goblins on halloween night and the animals on halloween night. Also, it was probably scary like halloween. Everything was dark and he could barely see anything while "Goblins" were messing his house up.

  16. he means that the animals were acting like goblens and makeing a mess.They eat most of his food for the winter."They were back in my tree before I could stop them."Sam had the best night of his life.

  17. He said that because alot of animals were tiring him and he let out a tremendous scream.He was relived after that because he started bleeding.He was also really scared."I was breathing relief"

  18. he means that the animals were acting like goblins and creating trobble. they destroyed his cache of food and he couldent make them leave. "i chased the racoons into the night and stumbled over a third animal and was struck by a stinging spray. it was a skunk! i was drenched. as i got used to the indignity and the smell, i saw the racoons convert around my fire place and were back in the house before i could stop them."

  19. I think that he will. be able to live there because. the animals he feeds. is his freinds and he could beable to make a house out of clay.

  20. " A bat winged in from the darkness and circled the tallow candle." In this quote he meant that everything went into a complete disaster, it went like a disaster because he wasn't keeping a close eye on the animals.

  21. I think that it means that the earth was so alive right then. And that everything came out of their dens to come to the party. There might have been so witches or goblins."a bat winged in from the darknessand circled the tallow candle,it was Halloween and the goblins were at work."

  22. In my side of the mountain it says Sam has never had a "more real Halloween". I think this means that this Halloween is the most frightningest, but happy Halloween party Sam has ever really had. He learns that "might is right." and scares off all his now unwanted viseters like big, red eyed racoons, squirels, and the laughing red fox.

  24. I think he means that on Halloween, all of the ghosts , goblins, and witches come out and cause trouble. Sam is saying that he thinks all the animals sort of knew it was Halloween. Here is an quote from the story to support my answer, "A bat winged in the darkness and circled the tallow candle. It was Halloween night and the goblins were at work

  25. I think he means that everyone was scaring each other.It also relates to holloween nights in towns and cities. It's like Sam being the older kid scaring the younger kids. "I was biggest and I was oldest, and I going to tell them so."

  26. What Sam ment by this was that he was amazed by how many animals showed up. Also, he didn't think that a skunk, 2 racoons, a red fox, the barren weasel,and more would show up. Sam thought that only a couple animals would come. Like in the story Sam said," I slowly woke up to the sound of a screaming animal. As I got up I slipped on acorns, they had broken into my cache."

  27. I think it ment when he said that he nevre expirenced a more real halloween he probebly ment that he felt lik when he was w/ a person on halloween he never felt so companyed by the animals. It also ment that he was at least alittle scared that the animals were w/ him although he did feel companyed by the animals so he didnt feel that scared.Maybe it also ment that he had a good time w/ the animals.Lastly he did have mixed feelings about the party w/ the animals." I chased the raccoons into the night and stumbled over a third animal and was struck by a wet stinging spray."
