  1. I don't find it very convincing that a kid can find a way to tape one of the most dangerous snake in the worlds mouth shut. Also this is without any training at all. That is why i don't believe that. But what i do believe is a group of kids that believe very strongly in saving a home of endangered owls.

  2. I find it weird because the running boy could get the cottonmouths and tape there mouth shout. thats unbelievable to catch them and tape there mouth shut.
    Mullet Fingers need to get to the hospital with his infect by the dog bites that was belval because them things happen. They were trying to protect the owls that lived in the woods.

  3. In chapter 11, there was some realistic situations in the chapter. But at the same time, some of the things in the chapter seemed a bit far fetched to my standards of realism. For instance, a real/good cop would have stopped his cruiser and probably followed the kids if he was being waved down, weather that would be by vehicle or on foot, especially if one of the kids looked like someone he recognized, not just ask the parents if they knew where he was, because clearly he could have made the assumption that it was him and pulled up closer to him in his police cruiser. But nope, go ask his parents who probably know about just as much about his actual location. Another unrealistic thing about this chapter is how his arm swelled up so fast after being bit by a dog. Sure a dog bite will swell up and bruise, but his was just a bit overkill with it getting worse and worse and making him very weak and fatigue. He got bit by a dog, not a bee,not a snake,not a scorpion, a dog. And unless those dogs had poison on their teeth, I don’t think his arm would swell up that bad.
    That’s why I think chapter 11 is a bit far fetched when it comes to realism.

  4. Something I think is unbelievable in the book so far is how Beatrice bit a hole in the tire of Roy’s bike. I think it’s unbelievable because the way they make tires now in days is thick black rubber that hardly anything can pierce through. Beatrice may be tall and strong but I don’t think she’d be able to pierce her teeth through Roy’s tire, that’s the kind of thing that only a baboon or gorilla can do. A thing I think is believable is how Roy isn’t saying anything about Mullet Fingers to his parents or anyone else. I mainly think that’s believable because if I was in that position I would do the same thing to protect Mullet Fingers. I feel thats what I’d do because Mullet Fingers is supposed to be in school but he ran away to go back to his hometown but no one knows he’s back except for his sister, Beatrice, and Roy.

  5. I think this situation with Roy going to the hospital instead of Mullet Fingers. Then Officer Delinko went to Roy's house and talked with his parents about Roy getting bite by a dog. It's realistic because it could happen in real life because everyone can get bite by a dog. It's also realistic because he standed up for his friend Mullet Fingers.

  6. I think it is believable that Roy got hurt at the end. First of all because he could have been beat up by Dana Matherson. That kid likes to beat up Roy for anything no matter what Roy could have done. He also could have been hurt by trying to save the owls like mullet fingers. Mullet fingers was bit by a dog when he was trying to save them and the same thing could have happened to Roy. That is why it would make sense for roy to get sent to the emergency room.

  7. I don’t find it believable that someone would tape a cottonmouth moccasins mouth shut. What is believable is that someone climbing a fence and trespassing onto someone elses property. I also think what's believable is sticking their arm through a fence and getting their arm stuck and getting bit by a door. What’s unbelievable is putting your arm through the fence and throwing snakes to scare the dogs. Last thing that is believable is taking someone to the hospital.
