 2. Create a ‘Top Five’ list of the most important parts of the book in Chapters 1-10.  Explain why you chose these.

 

1. The fact that his father is in prison and is considered a criminal so Matt has that name as well. For number one i chose this because the lady accuses him of stealing the money because his father “was a thief as well” when he was younger. 

2. The lady and the bins along with the money. For the second one, i chose this because this where the main story starts with the money and the camp. 

3.  The cards making Matt realize that Cam and Jay are thieves. For the third one, the card stealing this was a turning point for Matt in realising that Jay and Cam were thieves. 

4. The orange maker on the trail. For the fourth one, the orange maker that Cam and Jay tamper with was to make the camp leader get madder with Matt. They also did this to make everyone blame Matt if anything happened 

5. Elsa the Eel For the fifth one Elsa the Eel was a big part in this and is what made the stay for Matt even more enjoyable

1. One of the chapters was called ‘Monstrous Eel’ does that refer to the size or nature of the eel?

I have found through reading the book that this chapter starter is referencing the eels large size in comparison to Matt. Instead of its nature and how it acts in the book, it's shown to be very calm. Later when Matt is feeding Elsa she is very gentle as to not bite Matts fingers off and she's very precise in her movements when eating of his hand.
