Chapter One
1) I think that the author is saying that Jess and his father don’t have a very good relation ship.
2) Maybe she has two older brothers and sister and feels the someway or something or maybe that’s the way she put it because every little sister and big brother are the same they fight a lot.
3) Jess ambition is to run , he loves to run and he wants to win this big race and be the fastest runner in 4 and 5th grade
4) At the end of Chapter one is when someone new moves in. It might change his life by having someone to hang out with his age witch is a good thing or something bad could happen like someone’s may belles age or it could be someone that runs faster than him.
5) The songs are my beautiful, This land is your land and Free to be you and me , blowing in the wind , God Bless America It tells that the author wrote this is Canada.

I have always wanted to see chimpanzees up close. I think they are really cool. When I was younger my idol was Jane Goodall. I secretly wanted to move away to a jungle somewhere and study chimps.
