1. When they improved their aircraft, most of the problems were because of the injuries, weather, and etc. I think the worst problem to them were that the other people around the brothers didn't believe in them, but they kept trying until they were successful.

2. I think the Wright Brothers gained a better understanding because they always tried even when they failed a lot of times. Just like it said in the book, people never believed that the Wright Brothers would actually be successful. However in the end, they didn't give up and made it work.

3. Even in their tries when they were unsuccessful, they always kept trying, and never gave up. Some people could have gave up if it didn't work. The Wright Brothers didn't give up, and made it.

 * Original Paragraph by John Steinbeck**

__Over the high coast mountains__ and __over the valleys__ the gray clouds marched __in from the ocean__. The wind blew fiercely and silently, high __in the air__, and it swished __in the brush__, and it roared in the forests. The clouds came in brokenly, in puffs, in folds, in gray crags; and they piled in together and settled __low over the west__. And then the wind stopped and left the clouds deep and solid. The rain began with gusty showers, pauses and downpours; and then gradually it settled to a single tempo, small drops and a steady beat, rain that was gray to see through, rain that __cut midday light to evening__. And at first the __dry earth sucked the moisture__ down and blackened. For two days the earth drank the rain, until the earth was full. Then puddles formed, and in the low places little lakes formed in the fields. The muddy lakes rose higher, and the steady rain whipped the shining water. At last the mountains were full, and the hillsides spilled into the streams, built them to freshets, and sent them roaring down the canyons into the valleys. The rain beat on steadily. And the streams and the little rivers edged up to the bank sides and worked at willows and tree roots, bent the willows deep in the current, cut out the roots of cotton-woods and brought down the trees. The muddy water whirled along the bank sides and crept up the banks until at last it spilled over, into the fields, into the orchards, into the cotton patches where the black stems stood. Level fields became lakes, broad and gray, and the rain whipped up the surfaces. Then the water poured over the highways, and cars moved slowly, cutting the water ahead, and leaving a boiling muddy wake behind. The earth whispered under the beat of the rain, and the streams thundered under the churning freshets.

The scent was fresh, as though the fruit had just been plucked from the tree (smell). She took it from the bowl, her fingers closing around the firm smooth skin (touch) as she lifted it to her lips. The *&%$# crunched loudly (sound) as her teeth cut through the skin into the tart, juicy flesh (taste). As the fresh juice ran down her throat she noticed a small black speck moving slowly in the creamy flesh. Closer inspection revealed that she hadn’t just taken a bite from the %^&*# – she’d bitten through a fat, juicy worm.//**

In the meadow, the little pussy cat jumped down from the tree. But when he jumped down from the tree, he felt something get squished. He looked down and saw a #$%^&*!!!! The squished #$%^&* looked so poor. Suddenly, the cat eyed the #$%^&* and started licking the #$%^&*. When a boy passed by the cat, he screamed, "AHHHH!! The cat is eating the #$%^&*!!

3. Do you think it is harder to give or receive a compliment? Explain. I thnk it is harder to recieve a compliment because it's kind of embarrising when someone says a good thing about you.

4. Why do you think Imogene asked Beth to write the compliment on her arm? I think that since Imogene doesn't have any friends, she never got any compliments. So, I thats why I think that Imogene wanted to remember it.

I think the author uses humor in the story because if this book did not have any humor, this book would only be about her wondering what compliments she can give to Imogene.
