Task 1# "Aye, you will bring it" = Its foreshowing that he might get caught bringing the wineskin in with the gold... When Heqet was asking Ranofer about his past, you could tell Ranofer didn't like it and that was foreshadowing where Ranofer whirled at him and left abrubtly and angrily...

Comment: I disagree, when you say that "he will get caught bringing the wineskin in with the gold." how will anyone else know that there is gold inside the wine-skin i mean he just got to know that there is gold in the wineskin after so many years so how will others get to know about the gold. Thats all i have to say-kaif

Comment: Then how will he go to jail? It's been clear that they're now paying extra attention now that they know that someones robbing them. You said "how will the others get to know about the gold" but if you read it again you'll realize that they already know. It's simple: Ranofer get's caught, he tries to explain that Gebu forced him to, so they interrogate Gebu but he just blames it on Ranofor and he goes to jail. It's Clear. Also the reason I think Gebu is keeping Ranofer took bring the wine-skin with the gold so he doesn't have to take the risk. Just saying. From Adrien.

Task 2# What were Setma, the Nile Captain and Wenamon doing at Gebu's home? What's going on between Gebu and Ibni? I know they work together to steall gold but there's something else. I could tell by the way Ibni was talking to Ranofer that it's something mysterious, but what?

Task 3# Complete

Task 4# Complete

Nice job on the foreshadowing Adrien and well done on the discussion Kaif and Adrien.

Assignment 2#

Task 1# Ranefor- Brave How? On page 56, When Ibni asks Ranofer to bring back the wineskin with gold inside for Gebu, Ranofer stirred up the courage to say 'No' I think this is Brave because Gebu had told Ranofer precisely to bring it back or there would be a beating and when Ranofer got back he got punched endlessly. Now that's just an expression! From page 69-71, When he tells Hequet about the wineskins, Ranofer risked telling Hequet about his secret! I think this is brave because Ranofer knew that it could backfire by Hequet telling Rehk about the wineskins and Ranofers part in it.

I agree with you, Ranofer is brave because he risks getting beat also when he is disagreeing and talking back to Gebu when Gebu tells him to join him as a stone cutter. Victor i agree with Victor and Adrien,Ranofer is brave because he risks being beaten up by Gebu even I wrote the same thing as Adrien.Jigyasa

I agree that his brave because If I know that I was going to get beaten up I would have listen to Gebu.Brian

Task 2# Complete

Do you want to be my parthner for assingment 3? (axel)

"Sure" (Adrien) Wait, sorry I've changed my mind, I just want to get it over and done with because I've got so many things on mind and I don't think we will have much time to talk about it so i think I'm going to go solo. Its fine i think i might go solo myself dont want to have a parthner anymore its to much of a bum!!!! :) (axel)

Assignment 3# Reasons why it is connected to The Golden Goblet and why: The weird pictures on the wall behind and in front of the pharaoh are called Hieroglyphs. Before Ranofer's dad died and he had to move in with his thieving half brother, Gebu, Ranofer was a pupil at a school and he learnt how to read them. He wasn't very good at reading them but he could still read the letters one by one and understand what it says! Sitting on the throne is the pharaoh of Egypt. He is included in the book and they talk alot about him and his greatness. He is one of the reasons Ranofer goes through all this trouble! On the pharaoh's wrist, there is an amulet. An amulet is a protective charm against evil, in other words //khefts// who are evil spirits that come out at night and take humans away to torment them and then kill them If the human does not say a spell over their amulets. They come in all different shapes and sizes, each with a different meaning and actually, Ranofer has the exact same one as the Pharaoh, the cross which means //The Cross of Life.// Last but not least, the gold that the Pharaoh is wearing. Even though you do not see it, Pharaohs' always carry it. Ranofer used to work in a goldsmith shop and always dreamed of making something of the skill and value for the pharaoh to wear and to be buried with the pharaoh when the he dies!

Great ideas Adrien and I like what you say about the amulet.
