Answer to part 3.
ReplyDeleteQ2. Jake wanted a copy of the photo because he wanted to give it to Steph for apologizing.
Q6. Milt treated Jake a bit bady because he didn't wait for him to recover and went off, it was not fair.
I agree Milt did react badly. I think he assumed that Jake had told others about the lessons. Do you agree?
DeleteAn 'innuendo' is an oblique remark or hint, typically a suggestive one.

ReplyDeleteQ1. Milt is a good photographer, we can see this because in the story it says Jake noticed a beautiful photograph with a giant whale in it, a sight rarely seen and a hard picture to take but the way Milt had taken it made it look easy. He had also taken multiple photo's all to Jake seemed amazing.
ReplyDeleteI think the thing that influenced Milts photography was his dad because according to the story Milt's dad had a passion for nature photographing. Assuming his dad is dead I think Milt kind of wanted to continue what his dad started/liked.
Excellent comment. I think Milt's dad must have had a great deal of influence in Milt's young life.
DeleteQ.5 the word innuendo technically means hint.\
ReplyDeleteJack wanted the photo because he thinks it would make Stephanie feel better.
ReplyDeleteWhen spyhopping, the whale rises and holds a vertical position partly out of the water
ReplyDeleteYes and doesn't I look so cool when they do it.
DeleteChapter 3: Q.1 Jack took the copy of the photo because he wanted to apologize and make up for what he has done to Steph. Since he knew that Steph was a very big fan of Milt's songs.

DeleteSorry i meant question 2
DeleteMy opinion on Celeb Investigate is not really a good website/magazine because its telling secrets to people and they want to read it, maybe someone is watching the famous people for news and secrets.
ReplyDeleteQ7. I personally don't like the "Celeb Investigate", because it just puts stuff on there that they want from celebrities for the world to see, and don't ask for permission. Also, some celebrities may not even want their personal info. on there! (> - <)
ReplyDeletePt 3 Q3 spy hopping is a whale thing it's when whales comes to the surface to have a quick look around. Q7 I don't know about "Celeb Investigate" sounds mysterious.
ReplyDeleteQ1 Yes he is a photographer because there was a part when they talked about a magazine. Maybe his father was a photographer and he wanted to follow his foot steps
ReplyDeleteI think that the celeb investigate magazine is a bad idea { Trespassing.....}
ReplyDeleteQ1. yes he is sneaky
ReplyDeleteAnswer to part 4
ReplyDeleteQ12 Jake knew the whale was dead because it closed it's eyes and stopped breathing. Steph knew it was dead because was not moving.
Q16 The name Pimmy came from the whale.
Q4. Jake is fooled by Stewart Western because Stewart manages to get Jake thinking his is a business man and when he calls his Granddad to check he does not pic up also Stewart handed Jake a business card and when the person on the other end from the soil business he tricked Jake into thinking that he was actually from that company.
ReplyDeleteLooks like this Stewart guy had everything planned out pretty well.
Steph saw a whale.when she walked off the elevator she didn't notice
ReplyDeletethe dead calf.
Q.7 I think the magazine 'Celeb Investigate' is very annoying because it is all about gossip.
ReplyDeleteI think that Q.7 'celebs investigate' is kinda mean because they post some wrong info and stick there noses in other peoples business.
ReplyDeleteYes I think his father must have been an inspirational man.
ReplyDeleteQ.7 I think the magazine 'Celeb Investigate' is very annoying because it is all about gossip.
ReplyDeleteQ1. Jake saw really nice and pretty photo of a whale and he sounded quite amazed of the photos and especially of the giant whale.
ReplyDeleteQ2. The photo is of a giant whale and he wants a copy of the photo so he could it to Stephanie so shes not as mad at her.
DeleteQ3. spy-hopping is when a whale gently rises above the water
DeleteQ.7 To Me I Think That "Celeb Investigate" Is Bad Because Its The Secrets Or The Rumors About Celeb's And Their Life Style And Personally I Don't Think That Is Good Cause They Don't Even Ask The Celebrities If It Is Alright With Them. (v.v)
ReplyDeleteQ.12 I think that Jake know that the baby whale did not even move a muscle and the baby whale was opening his eyes for a second and closed it, and i think that Steph knew that see saw what happened
ReplyDeleteWeek 4 Q13 he dug a big hole because they were shore that the mother would die as well
ReplyDeleteQ17 they tagged her so that they new where she was all the time
Q.7 I personal think Caleb investigate is annoying because if you did something wrong people be nosey

ReplyDeletePart 4 questions:
ReplyDeleteQuestion 10: A baby whale is called a calve
Question 17: Colin tagged Pimmy so that where ever the mother was he would know where it is. So say if it was washed onto a beach on another part of the world Colin would know where it is.
Q17. Colin vet tagged Pimmy so they could track her and make sure she got out to deep water and didn't beach herself as well as the baby. Another reason is that he wanted to make sure she was out in deep water was to have her baby and to see where she goes so he can look and see if she had had her baby.
ReplyDeleteQ.17 Colin tagged Pimmy so that Colin could know where she was all the time.
ReplyDeleteQ.10 The Name For A Baby Whale Is "Calve" (Sorry About Spelling)
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is fair to Jake because he said to Stephanie to not spread the secret, and I would't like it if that happened to me.
ReplyDeleteQ16. Part 4. Steph named the whale Pimmy because somehow its like she can speak to whales. Or whales can speak to her.
ReplyDeleteWell done Hoyi. You are the first person to mention that Steph had a special connection with Pimmy. She believes as you say Pimmy is speaking to her.
DeleteCongrats Hoyi :3
DeleteYay thx hoyi

ReplyDelete9. Steph sees a big adult whale when decending.
10. A Calf is the name for a baby whale
13. dad dug the whole bigger 'cause he thought the cow was going to die too.
17. Steph called her pimmy because she thought she

Steph called the mother whale Pimmy so they could track her if she was lost and Steph didnt make up the name pimmy it was the profetional.

Q.1 we know he is a good photographer because he went to Africa but is he maybe he could just be rich and want to take photos. I cant quite remember but wasn't he taking photos for a movie?
ReplyDeleteQ1. We know Milton is passionate about photogrophy because the walls of his house were lined with photos according to Jake. I think what influenced him was his father because of his favourite picture was of him and his dad with a whale "spyhopping"
ReplyDeleteQ.4 Jake was fooled because he phoned the mans firm and they said that he was part of their soil company. But this was all of the plan from the soil testing company
ReplyDeletewho were actually the fan magazine. The soil tester finds out who it is through the surfing magazine. But this last sentence was just exrta
Q2. Jake wanted a copy of the photo for his 'friend' Steph as she is a big fan of Milt. He thought it was good enough apoligie after the little incident on the farm.
ReplyDeleteQ3. Spyhopping is when a whale pops its head out of water to look around and see its surroundings
ReplyDeleteJake knew the baby whale was dead because the whale never usally breathed but they werent sure if the whale was dead.
ReplyDeleteQ4. Because when rang the company about Stuart he said he was cleaner than...something really clean :3
