Chapter Five
Predictions: 1) The pig will be gone when Robert wakes up.
2) Robert will be really mad and will be very frustrated with his family.
Questions: 1)Why would people eat frogs?
2) Does Robert not have friends? He always seems to be hanging out with Pinky.
Clarifications: I don't necessarily understand why Robert was making the flutter wheel because I don't get how this has to do anything with the A Day No Pigs Died. I really don't understand what this chapter even has to do with the book.
Connections: 1) I was named after a famous Mexican singer/actress. Her name is Anahi.
2) I would always hang out with my puppy before he passed away.
Summary: The family goes to a Shaker meeting. When they go home Robert and Pinky go and take a walk on the ridge that separates the Peck land from the Tanner farm. They then go to a small stream, there Robert creates a flutter wheel. It consisted of to forked sticks, an axle, and a paddle wheel. After that they leave. Later while walking through a stream Pinky steps on a frog. Which the frog jumps and makes Pinky jump herself. Seeing the frog reminded Robert of a conversation that he and his father had about why they only eat the hind legs of the frog. Thinking about frogs made Robert hungry so they decided to go and catch some. Then while heading back home Robert see's Apron and Bib and Bob. That reminds him of who he was named after. He was named after a famous Shaker Indian hunter names Robert Rodgers.
