How does the Book Water for Elephants end?

Q. I read most of it but haven't found time to finish it...i just want to know how it ends...i read up until Marlena left the train and was hiding out in the hotel room.

Answer
Marlena goes back to the circus....not to go back to August but to perform. And Jacob sneaks back and sees that a bunch of the fired/red-lighted workers have come back to sabatage the show. They free all the animals in the managerie and it causes a stampede. Jacob runs to Rosie's tent to find Marlena, who is cornered by August who is trying to ... strangle her I think...Rosie is there also and picks her stake up out of the groud and bashes Augusts head in. And Jacob and Marlena go to work for the Ringling Bros circus and have a bunch of kids...some of them grow up in the circus but they eventually stop travelling with the circus and get a home.

We know from the beginning of the story that Marlena dies before Jacob...and he's travelled across the street to the circus since his son forgot it was his day to hang out with him. It takes him so much time just to walk across the street that the circus is over but he ends up talking to one of the workers and tells him he worked on the Zambini Bros circus...the guy knows a lot of historical circuses and knows about the stampeded disaster and it's sort of unofficially decided that the man agrees to take the old Jacob alone on the circus.

Anybody have a tent for their cat?

HobbesMom

Last weekend I went out to the Columbus Pet Expo here in Ohio. Among several toys and other things, I actually got a small tent for my cat! I think it's adorable (it looks like an elephant and is actually a kids' tent), and set it up in my living room. Here's a pic of the same tent I bought:

The back has a nice big opening, the two feet in front unzip into kitty-sized entrances, and the ear flaps on the sides roll up revealing two screened windows. I put some blankets and toys inside, and my cat loves it! It's her own little fort. It's safe and sets up anywhere with just 2 tent poles on the inside.

Has anybody else out there tried this or something similar with their cat or kitten?

Answer
Yeah! My kitty loves hers.. Well... Loves destroying it... And I also got her a little privacy curtain for her litterbox. She loves it.

(She carries around the tentpoles and leaves them in the closet)

Answer
Salmonella Free!

Ok, just kidding. How about Big Top Peanut Butter. The jar would look like a circus tent and you could have a picture of an elephant with a spoonful of peanunt butter in it's trunk.

How to write a children's book about the six senses?? help please?

Q. For psychology, we have to write a children's book (preschool to kindergarten age) about the six senses (sight, sound, taste, touch, smell, and kinisthesis). I was thinking about doing something about a kid whose family runs the circus. Any ideas on how to make that work? Or any ideas other than that? How could I incorporate the senses into a story? Thank you so much!

Answer
okayyy so i think that you should do the circus!!
because they can HEAR the music and SMELL the cotton candy/popcorn/whatever and SEE the big tent and FEEL the elephant's rough skin and TASTE the circus food!

Do you remember going to the circus as a kid?

Mercy Stic

I'm thinking of taking my kids, but the tickets are really expensive. Wondering if the memories would be worth it???

Answer
I definitely remember but it was certainly more of an experience than it is now.It was really a circus then. It was outside,not in a building. Not really outside but in a huge tent which had been erected outside. There was no television when I went & it was really a very special thing. Kids see so much on TV now that a circus might seem tame to them.No that is not so. What could be more exciting for a kid than to see the aerialists flying from trapeze to trapeze.They can't see the elephants & live clowns up close & personal either. One thing I would miss about it would be the freak shows they used to have. I wish they hadn't done away with them. Your kids will also be excited when the animal trainer gets busy with the big cats.Be sure to take along enough money to get them some cotton candy.
