What did the writer do in the opening pages to capture your interest/curiosity? Explain with examples and a quote from the text!
The author started the opening pages with their childhoods. In the text it says, "When I was a young bot, my great-uncle Aleer-Manguak was killed while trying to protect our cattle from a lion" - John (pg. 9) John talks about his childhood and his experiences before he met Martha. Both Martha and John talk about how they would have fun and make up their own games. The girls would play with dolls that their moms' made from old clothing. The boys would play a game that was similar to tag. There would be 1 lion and the rest were their "food". If you got caught by a lion you would turn into a lion. '"We also played a running game called alueth. It's played with two bases, one for someone taking the role of a lion and the other for children whom the lion 'hunts'". - John "Or we played with dolls our mothers had made us out of scraps of old clothing." - Martha
