5.My personal response to the plot I like this book because it explains the true friendship, because Kori fought for his friendship with the camel.

6.Sentences that is important in the story The sentences that I like most are these: “Kori visitaba a Caramelo todos os dias, sen faltar un. Pasaba todas a as tardes con él, a carón da sua corte, aínda que fose moita calor, aínda que fixese vento, ou aínda que houbese, mesmo, unha das terribles tormentas de area que adoitaban azoutar o campamento.”I like this sentences because i think that represent the true friendship
