Thank you for watching! I greatly appreciate your time!
Sheep shearing is a process when the wollen fleece of a sheep is sheared off. Typically each adult sheep will be sheared once a year. The annual shearing occurs annually in a shearing shred, a facility designed to shear hundreds, and sometimes up to 3,000 sheep a day.

Inferences From the Text Continued
On page 47 when John tips his ht to a lady in a tourist vehicle I inferred that John thought he girl was pretty.
On page 81 when John cuts open the lamb I inferred that he did because the lamb bled a lot and " seemed like a lot would never stop" based on what John stated.
Text to Self Connection
I believe that the genre of this text is realistic fiction because a 14 year old boy could actually take care of 6,000 sheep during the summer in real life. It is fiction because the characters are made up.
One thing have in common with John from Haymeadow is when I'm doing a race I feel like John when he fights off the coyotes and the bear, fighting my way through the rest of the racers, challenging my stamina.
Picture of elastic
My third and final word from page 140 is merely which is an adverb. It means only specified and nothing more simple; plain. My new sentance is this : Black is merely a color that is dark and shadowie.
My second word, also from page 96, is elastic which is an adjective. The definition of elastic is an object capable of returning to its original shape after being stretched. My new sentence from this word is this : My sweat pants for gym have elastic.
