Answer the question below on your own blog.  Make sure you use your book to answer the question using details from the story.

Commence means to begin or start.  In many schools, recess commences after lunch.  Why did Reba Jo commence to crying?        

Reba Jo commenced to crying because her brand new cowgirl hat that her daddy had just bought for her had fallen off her head and fell all the way down into the well. Reba Jo was crying because her cowgirl hat had just fallen off her head down into the well, and she couldn’t tell her father this because she couldn’t tell her father that she went down to the arroyo. I know this because on the third and forth page of the story it explains this.

Answer the question below on your own blog.  Make sure you use your book to answer the question using details from the story.

Why did Reba Jo know she should turn back but didn’t?        

    Reba Jo knew that she should’ve turned back but she didn’t because Reba Jo saw a vulture sitting on the top of the well. Reba Jo wanted to toss the rope on the vulture’s neck because she loved lassoing. I know that she didn’t turn back even though she knew she should’ve because on the second page of the story it tells you why she didn’t turn back even though she new she should’ve. And I also know that she loves lassoing because it says that she loves lassoing on the first page of the story.
