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
