The climax is when SUPEET finds Jakob unconscious next to the river. The falling actions are when Jakob and SUPEET find the thunder cave and Jakob gets caught.
The resolution is they capture Donovan and they get SUPEET healed and it rains.
FAVORITE PART
- My favorite part is in chapter 15 page 123 when SUPEET shows Jakob how to get food.
"He ran forward with his spear in the air, and I saw a cheetah bolt across the savanna. The cheetah stopped after about a hundred yards and looked back to where SUPEET was standing.
The reason I chose that as my favorite passage is because I found it funny how he got food.
