Hi my name is Keylen. When dreams happen in "Mystery at Blackbeard's Cove", the text gives detail to show they were both dreams and reality. Ghost speech is denoted by italics when a living characters are spoken with regular words. Dreams could be dreams or they could be reality because Zeek and Birdie see dreams in reality.Dreams play actually do play parts in my reality. Do they play a role in yours?
2) Describe the kids' relationships with each other. Do they love each other or hate each other? Do you have relationships like theirs in your life?
Dillon Alford:
Q1: The kids love each other but they try not to show it. Sometimes their love gets out.
Q2: I have a relationship like that with my brothers: Matthew and Daniel. I love Daniel but when he's mean to me I act like I hate him. The truth is I love both of my brothers.

3) Discuss the believability of the characters Billy, Stefanie, Daniel, and Mark. What effect do the personalities of the characters have on the plot and how everything works out? Do the characters help make the plot more believable? What do you think would happen if you and your friends were faced with an adventure like this?
HI MY NAME IS HOYT. I THINK MARK & STEPHINIE COULD NOT BE REAL BECAUSE MARK NEVER SAYS A WORD & STEPHANIE IS REALLY ANNOYING. ON SECOND THOUGHT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY ANNOYING LIKE STEPHANIE AND ARE MUTE LIKE MARK. BILLY & DANIEL COULD BE REAL, BECAUSE DANIEL IS ALL BRAVE AND HE FIGHTS THROUGH PAIN. I BELIEVE THIS BECAUSE HE HAD A GIANT SPIDER BITE BUT HE STILL WALKED THROUGH THE TUNNEL. BILLY IS ALL FAT AND WILL EAT ANYTHING, I BELIEVE THIS BECAUSE IN THIS STORY IT SAYS THAT WHEN BILLY GETS OUT OF THE TUNNEL HE WOULD EAT 5 POUNDS OF FOOD:)
THEIR FIGHTING DOES HELP BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE THEM MORE EAGER TO ESCAPE FROM THE TUNNEL:) I THINK THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE FOUR WAS BIG BECAUSE THE BOYS THOUGHT STEPHINIE WAS ANNOYING AND THEY ALL TOLD HER TO BE QUIET AND STEPHANIE GOT MAD AND STARTED FIGHTING.
