ReplyDeleteCh. 5 Questions
1. Tao and Ram have a platonic relationship and enjoy being with each other. They benefit from their relationship because together they hunt really well and get lots of food. They also benefit because they have someone to be with. Tao pretends to put an "angry face" on when he goes to talk to the hunters as if he tried to get catch Ram but couldn't.
2. The artistic "turning point" for Tao in this chapter is at the end of the chapter when he realizes he needs to see something to draw it.
Tao pretends to put on an angry face because he needs because he is pretending he didn’t catch Ram, and that he would bring a curse. The turning point is that now Ram is in danger because Volt and his clan will not let him get away the next time he comes to camp.
ReplyDeleteDear Mrs. Hartwig,
ReplyDeleteApparently I am the first on the website and I don't see any other blogs. So I can't comment on someone's post if nobody's blog is up. I don't have time to wait for a blog because I am very busy today.
Your Student,

Tao benefits from the wolf dog because he can hunt more easily and also he can have a comforting friend to hunt with. Tao pretends to put on an "angry face" when he talks to the hunters because then it will seem like he is trying to kill the wolf dog instead of help it get away.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship between Tao and Ram is that they both help each other in ways. Ram helps Tao hunt while Tao protects Ram.
ReplyDeleteEthan W.
The artistic "turning point" in the story is when Tao suddenly finds out that Ram has followed him back to camp, and that he might be killed. Tao is probably feeling very nervous because Ram is his hunting buddy, and he cares for Ram.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the artistic "turning point" for Tao in this chapter?
ReplyDeleteThe artistic "turning point" for Tao in this chapter is that he now can draw without the clan and Volt knowing. Also Tao can now do what he always dreamed of doing.
1. The clan acted very violently to the wolf dog because they thought the wolf dog was a sign of evil.
ReplyDelete2. They formed a circle around there prey because they wanted to trap their prey.
3. Tao finally taught Ram to go, by throwing sticks and rocks at him.
4. Tao avoided the hunters by leading them some were else, while Toa and Ram ran off in a different place.
5. Tao gathered dried grass, fire wood, and kindling.
1. Tao and Ram both benefit from their relationship because Tao keeps Ram safe and in return Ram helps Tao collect food for their clan.
ReplyDeleteTao pretends to put on an "angry face" so the hunters thought Tao was enraged about not killing the wolf dog.
2. The artistic "turning point" for Tao in this chapter is when he finds a cave where he can draw in secretly.
1. The relationship between Tao and the wolf dog is very unique in the sense that boy and animal help each other out, not only food wise, but life wise. Tao pretended to act mad when he let the wolf dog run away because he did not want the hunters to be under the impression that he let the wolf dog free.
ReplyDelete2. Tao’s artistic turning point in this chapter is when; he has his cave and drawing tools, is able to draw a wonderful portrait of the wolf dog using yellow clay and charcoal. He knows now that he can draw beautiful drawings.
Tao and Ram have a very close relationship and they trust each other. Ram benefits from Tao when Tao removes the bone from his muzzle and also when he helps him to get food. Tao benefits from Ram when Ram sniffs out animals for him to kill. Tao pretends to put on an "angry face" when he talks to the hunters because he doesn't want them to kill Ram.
ReplyDeleteThe artistic turning point for Tao in this chapter is when ram comes then the hunters come to kill him.
The realationship between Tao and Ram is very strong because they could almost understand each other when they are hunting. The relationship benefits Tao because he hunts more with Ram and brings back food for the clan. It's good for Ram because since he is a little wolf he gets better at hunting. Tao pretends to put on an angry face to the hunters because the hunters were chasing Ram trying to catch him and he pretended to hunt Ram but he was protecting him from getting killed.
ReplyDeleteQuestion 2
The turning point of Tao is that first, Volt was very angry at him because he didn't provide food for the clan, but since he has Ram he catches more food and Volt gets happy.
Question 1:
ReplyDeleteTao benefits from his relationship/friendship with Ram because he gets a companion and someone to help him hunt, and Ram's benefits are pretty much the same. The only difference is that Ram also gets protected from the hunters that would easily kill him. Tao puts on an "angry face" when he talks to the hunters because they think the wolf is evil, and if anyone were to think that Tao's protecting the wolf dog, Volt would surely kick Tao out of the clan.
Question 2:
In this chapter, the artistic "turning point" for Tao is when he saves the wolf, making their friendship even bigger.

ReplyDelete1. Tao and Ram benefit from their relationship together because both of them are alone and they found companionship in each other. Tao helped free the bone from Ram's mouth and Ram helps Tao hunt. Tao puts on an "angry face" because he is acting as if he is angry that Ram got away.
2. The artistic "turning point" in the chapter is when he realizes that he has to see something in order for him to paint it. Tao learns this when he tries drawing a horse on m=nothing but his memory and then seeing Ram and painting him.
Chapter 5
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1
The relationship between Tao and Ram is a boy and his hunting dog relationship not really friends yet. They both benefit from this because they both have plenty of food after the relationship is formed. Tao puts on an angry face when he comes back to camp because he doesn’t want the clan to think that he has any relationship with the wolf, especially after what he said, suggesting that they hunt with wolves.
Question 2
The artistic turning point for Tao in this chapter is when he moves into the cave and is now able to draw on the walls.

ReplyDeleteChapter 5
Question 1
The relationship between Tao and Ram is good. Tao cares for Ram and thinks of him as a very close friend. Ram trusts Tao for food and safety they both have a trusting relationship with each other. Tao benefits because he has someone to hunt with and a good friend by his side. Ram benefits because he gets safety from Taos clan, a hunting partner, and someone to trust. Tao put on an angry face when he went back to the clan because he wanted the clan to think that he was trying to catch the wolf not help him.
The artistic “turning point” for Tao in this chapter is when he saw Ram standing on the edge of the cave and drew the wolf dog on the cave wall.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship between Tao and Ram is a nice one because they both are friends and help each other. They both benefit because Tao gets food for the clan and Ram gets food to eat and a protector. They also both get a friend. Tao, at camp, puts on a mad face because he wants to protect Ram from the hunters. Also he doesn’t want the hunters the figure out he helped Ram.
ReplyDeleteThere's no blogs up!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe artistic turning point for Tao in this chapter is when he draws Ram and realizes that he can draw well when he has a example to draw from.
ReplyDeleteDo we do one of the questions, or both?
ReplyDelete1.Tao and Ram are best friends. Tao benefits because he has a friend, and he can hunt down more prey as well as getting the prey faster. Ram benefits because he has fun and he has a friend.
ReplyDeleteChapter 5
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1
The realationship between Tao and Ram is lifelong. They both benifit from their realationship because the little wolf-dog gets love and food while Tao gets protection and love as well. Tao pretends to put on aqn a''angry face'' when he talks to the hunters because he wants to show that he's tuff and aggressive like those other hunters of his clan.
Tao and Ram are best friends. Tao benefits because he has a friend, and he can hunt down more prey as well as getting the prey faster. Ram benefits because he has fun and he has a friend. Tao put on an “angry face” so the hunters don’t figure out that he helped the wolf dog.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Taos dad could be an evil spirit because Kala said "Your father did a terrible thing,"(Boy of the Painted Cave) meaning a person.

Chapter 5
1. The relationship between Tao and Ram is that they both understand each other, they respect one an other. Tao benefits by having a pet and getting more game. Ram benefits by having a hunting partner and a friend. Tao express’s an “angry face” because he wants the hunters to think he was trying to kill the wolf, not save it.
2. The artistic turning point was when Tao found the cave where he can paint freely.
Question 1.
ReplyDeleteTao and rams are very close to each other due to the fact he helped kept the wolf alive. Each one benefits because Tao gets food by hunting with ram. Then, ram gets protection and food with Taos support. Tao puts on a fake angry face to fool the hunters he doesn’t own the wolf and he wants to get rid of it.
The relationship between Tao and Ram is very strong. Tao is always trying to teach Ram to run away when Tao tells him that the hunters are coming. But Ram always helps Tao hunt for them, and Kala. They have each others backs on their survival. Their relationship is too strong to break.

ReplyDeleteChapter 5
Question 1
The relationship between Tao and Ram is good because they are good friends and are kind to each other. Tao benefits from his relationship with Ram because Tao has a friend to hunt with. Ram benefits from his relationship with Tao because he has someone to feed him. Tao pretends to put on an "angry face" when he talks to the hunters because Tao didn't want the hunters of his clan to know that he had a relationship with a Ram, wolf dog, (which Volt, the clan leader, thought was a curse to the the clan)
Comment:
On chapter 4
I disagree with Zack G when he says that Tao's dad is an evil spirit because in the some other text, it said that he was a teerrible MAN and an evil spirit is just something that the tribe believed in.
I'm commenting on Winston's comment for chapter 4. I don't think that Garth would be Tao's father because Garth is fairly nice to Tao, and Kala said that Tao's father thought that Tao was evil, since he was a disabled infant. If Tao's father thought that Tao was an evil sign, Whenever Tao's father saw Tao he would have been mad or scared, like Volt.I think that Volt is actually his father because Volt is unfair and mean torward Tao.
ReplyDeleteThe artistic “turning point” in this chapter is when Tao decides to live in a cave by himself so that he can make images without anyone seeing him. It is also when Tao draws the perfect image of Ram, his wolf dog friend. He had been trying to draw horses, but they all didn’t look good, so he decide to draw Ram since Ram was right there next to Tao. Tao also learns that he is better at drawing things when they are near him, rather than having to recollect the image from his memory.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship between Tao and Ram is very close. They benefit each other because they help each other hunt. The artistic turning point is when Tao makes a home in a cave, and starts painting and hunting in the Slough.
ReplyDeleteThe artistic turning point is when Tao goes to his cave and paints animals and things that he see's.Also when he lives in the cave and hunts for his own food.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nick because I also don't think that Tao's father is Garth. I think Tao's father is Volt because Volt is mean to Tao and calls him careless and an evil spirit. Maggie M.
ReplyDeleteTao puts on a "angry face" and says he got away because he is basically Ram's owner, the turning point for Tao was that he moved to a new place.
ReplyDeleteI agree with jack because Tao is very attached to the wolf dog and wants to protect it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cate because I also think that the artistic turning point is when Tao paints Ram.

1. The relationship between Ram and Tao is very strong. Talking about science, this would be a symbiosis relationship because both benefit from each other.
2. The point in which Ram was being hunted down.
1. The relationship between Ram and Tao is friendly. They both benefit each other because they are friends and they hunt together. Tao put on an angry face when he talked to the hunters because he wanted the hunters to believe that he was mad that he didn’t catch the wolf dog.
ReplyDelete2. The artistic turning point for Tao is that Tao can draw with freedom and no one knowing.
Describe the relationship between Tao and the wolf dog. how does each one benifit there relationship? Explain why tao pretends to put on an angry face when he talks to the hunters. Tao and the wolf dog have a strong relationship consediring Tao saved the wolf dog's life. Tao benifits by getting a friend and the wolf dog benifits by getting protection and food. Tao puts an angry face when he talks to the hunters to make them think he was after the wolf dog too.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Nick because Tao's father would have to be mean so I think it would be Volt for Tao's father.
ReplyDeleteI am commenting on Zack G's chapter 4 comment. He said that he thought Tao's dad could be an evil spirit, and I don't think so. I think Tao's dad is Volt because Volt is mean to Tao. I don't think Tao's dad is an evil spirit because Kala only said knowing who Tao's dad is was an evil thing, not that Tao's dad is an evil thing.
ReplyDelete1. Describe the relationship between Tao and Ram.
ReplyDeleteTao's relation ship with Ram is going great.
How does each one Benifeit from the relationship?
Tao benifeits from the relaition ship because Ram helps Tao hunt for food, and Ram benifeits from the relation ship because Tao keeps Ram safe.
Explain why Tao pretends to put on an "angry face" when he talks to the hunters.
Tao pretends to put on an angry face because he is pretending to be upset that he didn't catch the wolf dog.
2.What is the artistic turning point for Tao in this chapter?
The artistic turning point for Tao is when Tao moves into his own cave by himself so he can draw secretly.
I agree with Claire except for one thing; I think that the boy and the wolf are friends. They first bonded when Tao saved Ram from Volt, then became better and better friends.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship between Ram and Tao is good. They both help each other get food by hunting together. Tao puts on an “angry face” when he gets back to camp because he wants to pretend that he is mad that he did not catch the wolf dog.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ethan W. that Tao protects Ram and Ram helps Tao hunt
ReplyDeleteOliver S. Boy of the Painted Cave Mrs. Hartwig
ReplyDeleteChapter 5 Response to Ethan W.
I respectively disagree with Ethan that Tao's part of the relationship was to protect Ram. I think that Tao's part of the relationship was to also help Ram with hunting and he also gave shelter and food to Ram yet not protecting.
I kind of agree with colin but I dont think hunting for his own food is the artistic turning point because he hunts for the clan and himself. but I think he is right about the first thing he said about Tao painting images on his cave.
ReplyDeleteChapter 6
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1
The shaman,Graybeard, will learn that he has been making images without being a chosen one. He has gone against many taboos but this one may offend Graybeard, since he is an image maker.
Question 2
I would tell Tao that he must be very careful about the images and not point them out to Graybeard or he will notice, if Tao does not show the images then Graybeard may not notice them.
I disagree with Thea because I believe that the artistic turning has something to do only with Tao.
1. Tao and Ram are hunting partners. Tao benefits because he gets food for the clan and Ram gets food to eat. When Tao helped Ram get away he put on an angry face to convince the hunters that he thinks the wolf is a curse and that he should have caught and killed it.
ReplyDelete2. The turning point is that Tao now has a place to practice painting without having to worry about being discovered.
i disagree with Maggie M. because Volt never called Tao an evil spirit.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Caroline because I also think the artistic turning point is when Tao draws Ram and realizes he can draw very well.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with Andrew H. because he said that the artistic turning point is when Ram comes and they try to kill him, but it said ARTISTIC turning point, and Ram coming into the tribe when he’s not suppose to has nothing to do with art.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Nick L. because Kala said that Tao’s father called him an evil curse, since he was a disabled infant, and Garth is nice to Tao, and not like Volt, who is very superstitious and treats Tao badly.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with Ethan w. chapter 5 comment because I don't think that Ram is just helping Tao hunt, I also think that Tao is helping Ram train for the wild.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with Colin C's assumption that Tao's artistic turning point is when he (and I quote) "...goes to live in his cave and paints animals and things that he sees. Also when he lives in the cave and hunts for his own food."
ReplyDeleteAhhhh! This is not what I think the turning point is at all!First of all, Tao doesn't LIVE in the cave. He is in there to draw and paint!
Second of all, he doesn't hunt for his OWN food, he finds food and brings it back to the clan!
Finally, the artistic turning point is when he uses the clay and the charcoal to draw a beautiful drawing of Ram.
Warmest regards,
Caroline D.
The artistic “turning point” of Tao in this chapter, is when he sees Ram at the edge of the cave, and draws a picture on the cave
ReplyDeleteI agree with Caroline because Ram and Tao both help each other. Tao by protecting Ram,Ram by helping catch game
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cate D. because i also think that the turning point was when he saw ram and drew him on the cave wall.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Tao and Ram trust each other with their survival from Ram not being killed by the clan, or that Tao will be in trouble.
ReplyDeleteTao and Ram benefit from each other because when they hunt together they will get more food for both of them.
ReplyDeleteTao puts on an angry face because he does not want the hunters to know that he is working for Ram.
I disagree with Max S. because I don't think that in BOTPC Kala literally meant that Tao's father was an actual evil spirit. I think Kala thought he was just a bad man.

Tao pretends to put on a angry face when he talks to other hunters because he is pretending that he didn’t catch Ram. The turning point for Tao, is that Ram is in danger by the hunters.
I agree with Quincy because they do benefit from each other.

ReplyDeleteCh. 5
I agree with Andrew that Tao puts on an angry face when he talks to the hunters that he doesn’t want Ram to be killed.
The artistic “turning point” for Tao is that he has to see something in order to draw it, he can do what he has always dreamed of doing, and that he won’t get in trouble for drawing by the clan and Volt.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jack D, that Ram and Tao help eachother. Ram hunts for Tao, and Tao keeps Ram safe from the clan
ReplyDelete1. Tao and Ram are hunting partners. Tao benefits because he gets food for the clan and Ram gets food to eat. When Tao helped Ram get away he put on an angry face to convince the hunters that he thinks the wolf is a curse. It also made him look like he was mad that he didn’t kill the wolf.
ReplyDelete2. The turning point is that Tao now has a place to practice painting without having to worry about being discovered.
The artistic "turning point" is when Tao finds a cave to live in partially. Also, his cave is filled with walls that are mostly flat so he can draw freely, which he couldn't do before. I think Tao likes this arrangement because he used to have to do what was told and draw in secret. But now, he can live life as he wants it to be. In the cave, there is no one to tell him what to do or how to act. Another good thing is that he can hang out with Ram, his wolf dog. Before, he had to be careful where he was with Ram because wolf dogs were taboo. Now, he can be with Ram as much as he wants in his cave. Maggie M. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with Jordana B. that the artistic "turning point is that Tao must see something in order to draw it because in the story, Tao draws a horse from his memory. I think that artistic turning point is when Tao finds a good cave to partially live in and the fact that he can make images freely without being caught. Maggie M.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Caroline D. that Tao put on an angry face so that the hunters would not get the impression that he had helped Ram escape since they were best buddies.
