Foreshadowing examples: One example on page 8 Ranofer has enough of Gebu so he tells himself - "what if i run away!" another example could be on page 43 he says "All will be different now, i shall defy Gebu, i shall leave the street of the Crooked Dog forever." he also says "The golden ingots, those ingots in that hidden cave i shall discover, i can use those to pay my pupil's fee." That could maybe mean that he will maybe find the golden ingots in the hidden cave and use it to pay his pupil's fee and maybe he will run away! Great examples!!

Questions: Why is Gebu so mean to Ranofer? Does Ranofer have other family apart from Gebu? I like this question.

i like the question too. i don't think he has any other family except gebu. im not sure i wonder if he does. Aly Ajani

Gebu - mean On page 85 and on, Gebu wouldn't let Ranofer talk about his opinion!

On page 85 and on, Gebu didn't let Ranofer go to Rekh's anymore! Ranofer had to become a stonecutter evern if he didn't want to!!! This picture represents friendship between Heqet and Ranofer in chapter 8 and 9. Heqet is so nice to Ranofer. Ranofer is not working in the gold shop anymore and Heqet still teaches him about gold and even brought him to the master Zau! This is kind of Ranofer’s dream, to become a goldsmith and to work with gold and not stone! Heqet is doing something really nice, he is kind of trying to make a small part of Ranofer’s dream come true! This picture not just shows two boys walking together but if you think about it, it could show more. As in why they are walking and holding each other. In the golden goblet Heqet and Ranofer were trying to see each other as often as possible because now they don’t have the same job. They share or exchange their food, they talk, and even teach each other new things. This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

Vivian: I also think it shows the kind of friendship Ranofer and Heqet have. No matter how far away they work, they always find time for their friendship and I think this picture really shows how close they are no matter how far they work. Even though Ranofer knows he’ll get in trouble if he’s not in the shop he still takes his chance to talk to Heqet.

Excellent job on choosing a theme and talking about it Alina. Vivian, your response is well thought out as well. Great job to the both of you.
