1. Why would someone want to be a stowaway?
2. If your ship became becalmed, what might you do?
3. Describe what you might see if you were sitting in the crow's nest of the Lady Wilma.
4. In a letter home, Jack states that although he isn't in school, he is learning every day. What is Jack learning on the Lady Wilma?
I would be a stowaway if that was the only to California.
ReplyDeleteAnother reason is so I don't have to pay to get on the ship.This would give me money for supplies in California. It would also be exciting. You could make it a game, don't get caught!

3)If I was in the crow's nest of the Lady Wilma, I think I'd see many things. Here are some I'd see:
ReplyDelete- going-to-be-rich miners pigging out
- chefs making big pots of soup
- James and Priesworthy working hard
- The captian's mustache going from flames, then freezing again!
That's what I'd see abord the Lady Wilma!

Why would someone want to be a stowaway? None really wants to be a stowaway but if you don't have the money to get a real ticket, and you really nead to get on that place then you might have to be one.

ReplyDeleteIf I was in the crows nest of the lady Wilma I might see whales,fish,dolphins,seaweed,other ships,sharks,coral reefs,and the sun. It would be a long day for me!

#3. If I was sitting in a crow’s nest I would see many other ships. I would also see many sea creatures like dolphins and whales. I could also see the sun setting at night time. I could also see the many people walking around onthe deck.
ReplyDeleteSomeone would want to be a stoaway because they could sneek onto a ship without having to pay for bording it. Also if you are seeking gold and have no transportation you could be a stoaway.

Someone might want to be a stowaway if he has to get to a very important place and doesn't have enough money to buy a ticket even though it will be a very rough and uncomfortable long time with no food or water unless that person could find something he/she can eat or drink, but it might not last that person the whole way but a least he will have a chance to get to the place he needed to be. Except if that person has enough money to buy a ticket, and it won't do a lot of damage on him/her, that person might want to buy that ticket and have a more comfortable trip.

Q:1) I think if you were robbed, or didnt have the money you just not reallyand you were going to get money you just don't think. But sometimes people dont want to pay and jusk become they stowaways

I agree with NSD becuase you are looking at the big wide ocean and there was the Raven in front.

ReplyDeleteEven though I did a different question (question #1), I was thin king about the you did too. I thought the exact thing that you posted for your blog post. It felt like you were blog posting while I was thinking. It felt weird kind of.
Z.S.P.
I would be a stowaway if I had to get to another state and someone stole my money. I would want to get them back by taking theirs, if I lived in those times. I would never steel now. The people would half to be brave to stowaway, because they could get caught and thrown over board the ship or worked to death.

Question #1
ReplyDeletewhy I would want to be a stowaway is because of many reasons. I will share with you one of my reasons. My one reason is that if you were a stowaway is that you would be able to get into something, in this case Jake and Praisworthy were able to get into the Lady Wilma without paying.
A.J.W
Good explanation N.S.D I like it.
ReplyDeleteB.P.
I think someone would like to be a stowaway because maybe they can't afford to go somewhere. It may be important for Jack and Praiseworthy to be stowaways because someone took their money and they had to get on the boat somehow. Another example, was that it was important for Jack and praiseworthy to get on the boat because their house was losing money. They heard about the gold rush and wanted to find gold.
ReplyDeleteL.A.D!
I agree with S.K.H because I'm guessing that a stowaway would not want to be a stowaway, but they probably didn't have the money to get tickets.
ReplyDeleteL.A.D!
I would be a stowaway if I really needed to help my aunt keep living in her house. Another reason to be a stowaway is if someone took your money and you want them punished for taking your money. The two down sides to being a stowaway are you have an uncomfortable place to hide and if you get caught you might walk the plank. Overall if I was in this position I`d chose to be a stowaway.

#1 Someone would want to be a stowaway because if he or she did not have any money they could sneak into the ship without paying. Also, if they have only enough money to buy food and supplies in California, they would want to save their money and not use it on the ships fare. I think people should only be stowaways if they had no other choice and pay for the fare by doing work for the ship
ReplyDeleteV.A.
I agree with S.K.H.Why would anyone want to be a stowaway? Too much trouble!!!
ReplyDelete-S.R.
I agree with V.A. someone should only be a stowaway if they have no other choice.

1)I would want to become a stowaway because if the trip is important to my family, to me and the future of my life. I could also pretend to be a paid passenger after they board everyone. It might be hard to sneak by, but if I had to be a stowaway I would.

QUESTION#3
ReplyDeleteIf I were in the crows net of the Lady Wilma I might see a shark swimming around hunting for some food, or even a giant humpback whale swimming underneath the Lady Wilma. There might also be a chance that on our way we may find a pod of dolphins rounding up their food also.

Dear SKH,
ReplyDeleteI fully agree that someone would not want to be a stowaway. I liked how you described the question. I also liked how you gave an example of a problem that someone on the same ship as Jack and Praiseworthy could have.

ReplyDeleteI really liked that you said one of the ways someone would want to be a stowaway is someone would want to sneek in a ship without paying. good job!
A.J.W
A reason why people may want to be stowaway is because they don’t have to pay money to go on the ship. Another reason why is because they can pretend to not to be a stowaway and have free food and water. Two more reasons are that you can pretend not to be a stowaway and get a free bed and the final reason is that if you are thirsty for a adventure this would be a good choice.
ReplyDeleteS.P
G. C I agree with you that if they are a stowaway you don’t have to pay to go on a ship and save the money for supplies for mining gold.
ReplyDeleteS.P
I think that if I was sitting in the crow's nest of the Lady Wilma I would see tall waves crashing against the ship. I would see dark gray clouds and rain slashing the sky. If we were nearing land I might see a coastline. S.Z.A
ReplyDeleteI agree with S.N.C that stowing away in ships will probaly be very uncomfortable. S.Z.A
ReplyDeleteI would be a Stowaway because if someone stole my money to get on the ship I would have no other way but to be one. It would be exiting and it would be a great adventure. I bet if his money did't get stolen he would have payed and not been a stowaway.

Dear S.R,
ReplyDeleteI loved all the detail that you included in your post. I also like how you listed your key points! You did great!

To G.C.
ReplyDeleteI agree that you would have to be a stowaway to get to CA if you did not have any money. He just did what he had to do to get to CA.

Someone might want to be a stowaway if they can't afford to buy a ticket or if they are running away from somewhere or someone and they don't want to get caught. I think it would be really hard to be stowaway because you have to spend the whole time hiding from everyone else on the ship and those voyages can be long......

Question #1
ReplyDeleteWhy would someone want to be a stowaway?
Someone would want to be a stowaway because you don't have to pay. They would also have adventure. If you paid to go on the ship then you would have less money for mining supplies, but stowaways didn't need to pay.
Everything would be good --unless you got caught.

to RMB--
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, RMB.
Choosing to be like a paid passenger would be a great idea. The only problem is how to get on the ship in the first place.
N.S.D., I agree with you. I would have seen the same things you would have seen. There is a lot of cool wild sea life in the ocean. Sitting in the crows nest can be really fascinating!
ReplyDeleteV.A.
I think I would like to stowaway in the L. A. Lakers team bus, so I could meet Kobe Bryant. He is the greatest basketball player in the NBA. The only way I can imagine meeting my hero is by being a stowaway.
ReplyDeleteJ. O.
3) if i were in the crow's nest of the lady wilma, i would see waves crashing below the ship and mist flying through the sky like leaves in the wind i would see dolphins playing in the water and land in the distance i would see other ships passing by heading for california too i would see big fluffy clouds that look like cotton candy and the clear blue sky i would see the bright yellow sun and the shining water in the sun light i would see the sunset as the day got late and see the beatiful orange and pink sky i would see the stars as night came and the full shining moon i would see the empty ocean until the next morning L.H.
ReplyDeletei agree with n.d i would see all those things
ReplyDeleteI am answering number 4. Jack is learning How to become a man. In the story when Prasworthy and Jack told the captain that they were the stowaways the captain had Prasworthy work on one side of the ship and Jack on the other side to work off their ticket, but Jack said no because they were a team. So the captain made them both work in the boiler room shoveling coal. They are both learning how to be men by working hard. I love this book so far!!!
ReplyDeleteM H
#1 I think being a stowaway would be exciting and an adventure. I would feel like I was free. You could travel for free and get food, water, and a place to sleep with no cost! The trip would be fine unless the captain or someone found out that you are a stowaway.
ReplyDeleteS.G.P.A
Q1
ReplyDeleteI think that someone would want to be a stoaway is because they would not have to pay,do chores on the ship,be with all the food and other cool stuff,have a place that is not crowded,have reading time,and have a completly awesome, outragous adveture

I agree with you RMB it would be ginius to sneak on a ship to California. That is a great plan! And I also agree that I would not do it if I had to, but it would be super fun!

Dear V.A,
ReplyDeleteI really agree with you. I also liked how you gave many explanations in your answer.

I agree with you V.L.C. It would be great to see a humpback whale and a dolphin but I would not like to see a shark. I do not like sharks.

3.If I was sitting in the crow's nest of the Lady Wilma I might see.....
ReplyDelete-seagulls flying in the clouds
-miners smoking
-animals being wierd
-Jack and Praiseworthy working so they can stay on the ship
-the captain getting mad at people for being lazy and not doing their jobs
-S.Z.
I agree with J.O. to be stowaway to meet someone famous.
ReplyDeleteI.A.R.
I think be a stowaway would be fun and adventures.Instead of sleeping in a cabin laying on cargo would be your only choice. Plus most of the food is stored where you can easily reach it.If this were my only chance i'd take it.
ReplyDeleteI.A.R.
I think someone would like to be a stowaway so that they can ride for free. A stowaway wouldn't have to pay for tickets but, stowaways can be caught they did not have a ticket or trying to get food on board.
ReplyDeleteI.T.
I agree with E.S. it would be cool to do all those things.
ReplyDeleteI.T.
I definitely agree with you V.C.
ReplyDeleteJ.F.
I agree with you I.T. I also think being a stowaway is good in some ways and bad in other ways. I,d want to be a stowaway if I was not caught but it would be terible to get caught and walk the plank.

ReplyDeleteI really liked how you used parts of the book, but my favorite part was the way you said."Going to be rich miners pigging out." I loved It!!!
VLC
I agree with I.T. because maybe someone might not be able to afford a ticket or if they just don't want to pay.
ReplyDeleteJCK
i agree with you i.t. I would want to ride free too.i also don't like paying for tickets.
ReplyDeleteg.c.
I would like to be a stowaway in the book, By The Great Horn Spoon.It will be fun being in the great horn spoon. It could give us a head start on
ReplyDeletethe gold rush! r.m.b
Our field trip was great, but, it was really hot in quick silver mines. I can imagen being being a miner. r.m.b
ReplyDeleteI agree with K.A.M. because this person is right about how Jack and Praiseworthy would have payed if someone hadn't stolen their money.
