RETELL: In this chapter Dian explains about group 5, and certain particular gorillas. She talks about how the group of gorillas are formed. The elder dominant male, Beethoven, a younger silverback with a higher pitched calls named Bartok, a older Blackback male named Brahms. Four females were also sighted carrying bug-eyed infants of different ages.
She explains how 2 infants went missing randomly at diriment times. She never found out how or why these gorillas disappeared. In this chapter Dian has a lot of physical interaction with the group. The infant gorillas love to steal her camera equipment and her gloves. She kept one of them busy with a Geographic book.
REFLECT; In this chapter, I laughed alot. Because very many situations with the baby gorillas and Dian were quite interesting and funny. Like when one of the infant gorillas stole Dian's gloves, and she had to crawl on all four feet to try to get it back. I liked this chapter because it described alot about particular gorillas and their personalities. I found it very cool how Dian could pin point alot of facts about certain gorillas, it felt like I had became friends with the furry animals.
RELATE; I can and cannot relate to this chapter, if that made any sense. I can relate to this chapter because of the determination and patience she had to have because she's studying alot gorillas in detail. It's kind of hard to find things to relate too when the book is about gorillas.
