    Well through out the story they get more mucher. They get bigger throu out the selection.They both like to surf.Yes because he can jump up really high. They got a curvey back to. Seals surf like a person so on the water . they also can save people life on land.

    a seaal could save someone thats drowning because some seals can be very smart or they could be friends with that person.

    3.The reason he wants to take his grandchildren is because he wants them to have fun with seals.He wants the to love and adore seals too.

    It is possible that a seal could save a person.Because,let's just say you've known a seal for about 3-4 days.If you got hurt that same seal would problably save you.

    The activites that Ben may do with his grand children are seal watching and fishing.

    3. Ben might take his own grandchildren to look at seals too. Or he might take them fishing. I would like my grandpa to take me to look at seals because it would be really cool to see a real seal.

    2. I think Ben enjoys watching the seals because they are fun to look at. Also because the seals can swim. Now that's cool. Since Ben knows how to surf, he can swim with the seals. That is why I think Ben enjoys watching the seals.
    3. Somethings Ben might do with his Granddad is look for mussels. Maybe even go fishing. Also they like to go swimming. (Ben would surf though.) They love to do a lot of things together.

    I think aseal can save a real person because they swim in the water so much. they can probably hold a lot of weight.

    3.Probably go fishing and his grandchildren can do the same thing .Because it is a tradition and I will never stop a tradition.

    2. Ben enjoys watching the seals because he is curious. Also he probably likes animals because he ikes to fish. Also he likes to surf so he sees wildlife alot.

    Ben might go to the cliffs someday with his own grandchildren.He might teach them how to surf.He might tell them about his seal friend.
    That's what I think he might do with his grandchildren.

    Benlikez the cliffs.But I like my G.G.'s
    (Great Grandmother)pond.It changes alot,but the fish are always there.For example,the fish always come to them best fishing spot,the suken log.That is my favorite spot outdoors.

    Ben will go to a seal show with his grand children.Ben will take his grand children to the beach.


    Yes it is believable that a seal could rescue a surfer.Because seals are good swimmers and are strong with there fins.

    when ben has his own children he will take them to see the seals and then they will go and it is a tradion.

    Ben and his granchildren might look for mussels. They also might surf with seals. Ben's granchlidren will be lucky to have Ben as a granpa. I do believe a seal can rescue a surfer.Why? Because seals should be nice gental but if they have not seen you before he/she might not care but it's possible.

    1. What Ben learns prepairs him for life and so does the young seal by learning from her mother. But Ben learns from his teacher and grand father.5. Yes because it happend in seal surfer.Even though seal surfer is fiction that could happen.

    I think ben will take his grandchildren to the cliffs.Then they'll watch the little seal push his pup off.Then they'll see the little pup swim around.Then the seal will come to the surface.

    Ben and the seal get older as time passes. Also granddad gets older.2.Ben enjoys interacting with the seals.

    3/18/2009 9:39:10 AM
  • chris

    I think its believable because,a seal is pretty big.Also if you knew the seal and fed it it will probably save you.Then you'll be glad you fed it.

    3.he might take them to the cliffs for them to watch the seals. 2.Because it is interesting to watch seals go darting across the water.

    #2 Generating- I think Ben likes watching the seals because the way they move on water and rocks. He studies them. You can learn a lot about seals by watching them.

    #3 Generating- Ben may move to the beach with his grandchildren. He may surf with them. They will probably study the seals and their natural habitat. SEALS ROCK!
