The wrestling matches finally take place during this chapter. The younger children are the firsts to wrestle. The village seems to be immensely interested in wrestling. The get so crazy about it they have to be held back. I can kind of connect to this because I used to wrestle back in elementary school, but it never got out of hand. This chapter made me think of the wrestling match when Okonkwo beat "The Cat." Maybe he will be challenged and someone will wrestle him?

You posts are VERY short. The first half tend to talk about what happened in the chapter, which I didn't ask you to do.
Your posts should be about twice as long, and include the following criteria:

Questioning: When a word, statement or action is unclear, question it. It may become clear later.
Connecting: Make connections with people, places and things you know.
Predicting: Try to figure out what will happen.
Clarifying: Watch for answers to questions you had earlier
Evaluating: Respond to what you have read. Draw your own conclusions about the characters, actions, and the whole story.
You do this with the wrestling comment, but I need more connections and observations like these.
