  1. 1. Mary can tell that Carrie and Laura are fidgeting. She hears the train first. She knows that the conductor is tall because his voice is high up.

    2. Ma seems nervous about the trip. When the train arrives, she takes tight hold of Grace and Carrie and sharply reminds Laura, twice, to lead Mary carefully.

  2. 5. I would rather ride the train than the wagan because if it is rainingit might have lighting or if it snows it would be cold and in the summer it would be hot and train just gives you the just right temerture.

    1.On page 121 Laura said "the conductor is here and what he wears" and Mary said "he's tall br listning to his voice.then she said "I can feel it moving" when the train moves.

  8. (5)- If I was traveling in Laura's time I would go by horse and wagon because I love animals and I like nature.

    (2)-I think Ma is feeling pretty good and happy about the family's trip because she gets to see a new place and she is with her 4 girls.

  9. 5.i would rather travel by wagon because you don't have to pay to get on the wagon if it belongs to you.


    4.i can summarize laura's train ride because her sister mary is telling her every thing that is going on around them like when the man was walking to the front of the train to get some water he turned a little handle on the wall and water came out of it and he had a tin cup.
