For homework, please read p. 110-162 (Ch. 9-12) of Jacob Have I Loved.  You may also want to review chapters 5-8 to understand the story details better.  

 

Then, instead of an essay, please write a summary of the events in chapters 9-12.  You don't have to include ALL of the details, but please include as many as possible.

 

Last, continue to work on your character log for Louise.  Track her opinions of different things, and how she's feeling about them.

 

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Captain wants to kill them, but Louise didn`t agree with this method, she wants to feed them until Auntie Braxton gets back. They also think they can take cats to SPCA, it is “Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals”. They use gunnysacks to take the cats, and they put gunnysacks on the boat to go to SPCA.

                       Summary of the events

In 9-12 chapters, I think the most important event is that the relationship between Louise and the Captain. I don’t think the relationship between them is normal. Louise’s behavior is strange in chapter 11.She has been always thinking about the Captain. Maybe the captain is charming to Louise. In spite o the captain is fifty-six older than her, but she says she can’t forget “his smell, his feel, his hands”. When the captain is smiling, Louise flushes all over.  

The story goes on to chapter 12. The captain has been living with Louise for three days. She avoids looking him in the eye. This means Louise is shy to the captain. There is also a lot of stories during his stay with Louise. In the end of this chapter, Louise says her life on the island is orphaned and alone.
