How Minlie felt was scared when she found that it’s a Dragon. I think the tears are made of salty water. What is he going to do without flying that is so horrible and who is the Goldfish man is it the guy that sells the fishes in the bowl
I think Minli left the goldfish in Jade river because she thought abou her dad and saw that he fed the fish with his food. I think it was a good decision because as she did the goldfish overheard her conversation and the Old man of the moon. So the goldfish decided to help her because she set her free and told her where to find it and how to.

Minli decides to release the goldfish into the river because she feels disappointed in her self for ba giving the fish his food. I think it was a good decision because it ended up helping minli in future chapters. Even though ma was disappointed minli made the right choice.

Minli made the decision of leaving the goldfish because she sees how ba has to feed the goldfish with his own food. I think It's a good decision because they didin't even have food for them selves and the Goldfish one more more thing to feed." The goldfish is just another mouth to feed. I can't let ba feed the goldfish".

Minli did the right choice putting the goldfishes in the river because one of the fishes told her the way the never ending mountain.she made the decision because she doesn’t have enough food and because her m doesn’t want the goldfishes in the house.I think it is a good decision because if not she would not be traveling to the endless mountain.

Minli writes a letter that says “obediant daughter”. Minli is and not being obediant because she does everything their parents told her what to do. She is unobediant because her mom told her not to do this stupid stuff. She is sacrafising her self only for her parents. She wants to change her fortune. She loves her family so she is going to a very dangerous journey just for her family and fortune.

Minli decided to release the goldfish because she said that the goldfish just another mouth to feed, In the text said "I can't let Ba feed the gold". So this means that she needs to release. I think it was a good decision because she thinks that he was going the take care of the goldfish. In the text it said that "At the edge of the river, Minli looked at her goldfish one last time". This means that she was going to release the fish.
I think that now body notices when Minli leaves her house because everybody that lives on that treat is very busy with in cooing ,cleaning and maybe most of all spending time with their or maybe some people thught that it was'nt their responsibility beause mabe here's what they were thinking Hm well not my kid not my thing to worry about.But also it's not their fault i mean their right if it's not their kid than let it be it should'nt be up to them to take care of a kid that's not their's.Also maybe thhe most important thing of way they did'nt see her was because they were busy and i think that the most reasso of why they were busy of all the reassons was that their to busy with in all and family stuff like and to do that they have to take care of their family and to do that everybody has to foucus on them and not other people maybe they were cookig or playing a family but who knows right any way this is way i think now body saw or noticed her.
In the book Minli's village was described as poor and dirty. What kept Minli not like her village was that she never worked a full day and she was never so hard working as much as her father and mother.

As Minli sets of she saids goodbye to jade the dragon because she is remember the story that her dad told her about the dragon and she did that because she went by jade dragon river
I think Minli left te goldfish in the Jade River because Ma kept on telling Minli that they are going to have to feed another one. I think it was not a good decision because they don't have enough money to feed a godfish.
Minli made the desition of leting the fish go because she did not want to let her ma and ba feed the fish and like take care of the fish.I think she made a good desiton cause her parents did like that she wasted her cion on that. It said that in the story in chapter 4 and not only there also in chapter 4-6.

As Minli sets off, following the needle in her bowl, she says goodbye to Jade Dragon. Why do you think she does this? i think she does it because she is mad or angry cause she don't have a name or she ddon't no if she is a drangon or not so she ran far far away to the wood s to see the moutain of the moon so when she get to the moutaioian she can ask him can she live longer.

The foot prints that Ma and Ba found might be from the Dragonor from the goldfish man. The Dragon has a tale, the goldfish man has the wheal of the cart, and minli has he bambo stick. Thoes foot prints might be from any of them because they all have some thing draging on the ground.

I think people did not notice when Minli left because maybe they never thought that Minli would ever do anything bad like running away, so when they saw her walkig by the woods that she was just playing. This tells me that her village trusts Minli alot.
As Minli sets off for her journey she say’s goodbye Jade Dragon. I think she said this because she is leaving and she’s going to miss it, and all the people in it, inculding her parents. So if I were minli I would miss my country especialy if it's a poor one. If I were minli's parents I would be happy for her, to do what she's doing. I think she's doing the right thing.
