Chapter 14 - This chapter is about when they get to New Braunfels and see different houses. They meet John O. Meusebach. They asked him questions about the Verein and why did not come to get them. Then, they saw some Verein soldiers marching and singing. Then, Anna and Mina go to get acorns as a substitution for corn to grind. They meet an indian man, woman, and girl. Mina and the girl trade Mina's hair for the girl's beaded belt. Then Mina goes to Papa. What was interesting in this chapter was when Mina met the indians. What I did not like was when Anna left Mina with the indians.
ReplyDeleteChapter 15 - This chapter was about when the Verein soldiers meet indians. Everyone was scared. Then, one of the soldiers and one of the indians both shoot a black bear. Everyone was surprised when the indian recognized Mina. Then they ate the bear's meat. I this chapter I liked when Mina recognizes the indian. What I least like was when they shot the black bear.
Chapter 16 - This chapter is when Mina, Papa, and their neighbors all build a house for Papa and Mina. Anna and Mina go to get fresh water for everyone to drink. Then, Papa poured water on his head. All the men started acting like a bunch of schoolboys at their pranks again. They finally finished the house, and Mina put the clock that Opa had given them in the new house. Then, Papa tells Mina that they need money to buy a milk cow, so he is going to New Braunfels to haul supplies for the Verein. Mina then has to stay with the Kaufmann family. I did not like when Papa had to leave Mina with the Kaufmanns. What I like was that they finally finished their house.
