Chapter 19 - In this chapter Papa is still sick and Mina goes to the Bickenbachs' cabin to get Lisette to watch over Papa. Mina told Lisette if she could watch over Papa while she goes to get the Shaman. Then Mina heads off to the indian camp to get the Shaman. She finds Amaya, who gets her dad, Chief Custaleta, to get the Shaman. The Shaman looks just like the indian in Mina's dream. I liked when Lisette agreed to watch Papa. I did not like when all the indians were looking at Mina.

Chapter 20 - This, the final chapter is about when Chief Costaleta and the Shaman were on their way to cure Papa. When they came inside Lisette was frightened. Then the Shaman sat down on the floor and took out different things to cure Papa. When he took out the ground up leaves, he told Mina to get "agua caliente" to add to the leaves to make tea for Papa. Papa awaken and Mina told him he needs to drink the tea to get better. He drank the tea and felt better. Days after that Lisette brought him a broth so he could get stronger and better. Then, one day Mina and Papa were working in the garden and Lisette came to the garden. She brought Mina a dress. When Mina came out from trying it on, Lisette bottoned it up. Then, Papa blurted out "Lisette, it is time we get married". Mina told Lisette to say "yes" and she did. Mina thought this was the beginning of their new family.

  2. In chapter sixteen I thought that Papa had alot of courage, especially when he built the house.The house was for Mina, Anna, her father, her mother, and himself.

  3. In chapter seventeen, I thought that it was so sad that Papa had to leave Mina with the Kaufmans. When the Kaufmans got sick Mina had to stay with the Bickenbach's.

  4. In chapter eighteen I thought that Mina's dream was interesting. In her dream she was riding on a horse and the horse ran so fast that it left the ground and went right past the moon.

  5. In chapter nineteen I thought that Mina had alot of courage to go to the Indians after the stories she had heard. And it was all to cure Papa, too. She was so smart to remember how the Indians had once cured a man.
