1. In the book Sarah Nita had to spend several years in a crowded fort. Can you imagine staying in a dry field with thousands of strangers for several years? There were no bathrooms, houses, and poor food. They were out of there natural surroundings which gave them peace and made life worth living. No thanks! It sounded terrible.

JoBob, Your answer was full of details but you only gave me one example of a worst part. I asked for two.
Also, based on your AR test, you need to do the extra credit. Try again.

Here are 2 things that I think were the worst parts about Fort Summer.
(1)Sarah Nita had to say in the fort for a long time.She had to stay in the fort for four years!!
(2)Sarah Nita and her family was given food that they didn't know how to prepare.

(1)The worst part would be they had no food and water for such a long period.(2)The story would would be helpful because it tells how the indians got captured.

(1)The worst par of Sarah Nita's time at the fort is when they frist arived they could not find there perants. (2)The second one is that all the soldiers where mean and they had to walk with the soldiers for a long time like a month or some thing like that.

I think the worst part of the story is when the mom was having a baby and fell behind. I also dont like it when the people came and took the two kids.

1.the worst part was when the robbers came and got the parents. Also another reason why i thought it was bad because it would be terrible seeing someone in your family getting tukenen away.
2.Also i thought another bad or sad part was when the girl whent under the water and died. That would be a terrible way to die but that is what i think.
3.one more thig is that when they would have to stay with the hot hot sun and be croded with people.

(1) I think then worst part of the long walk was that when alot of people died crossing the river and that one time when her relotive fell under water with the baby.
This might be help full to some one who wants to study US history becuse they might want to know where all the rivers are and what could happen to them and what to be aware of and maby they want to see the map of that place.

The worst part of Sarah Nita's long walk would be: That it is really far and it would make you very tierd and hungry.

I think the worst part of Sarah Nita's long walk would be trying to keep up with everybody and not fall behind.
I think the worst part of staying at Fort Sumner would be not having a shelter,staying outside in the cold, and having to eat flour by itself.

I think that the worst part of Sarah Nita's long walk would have to be that they walked and walked for miles and only taking breaks when the soldiers would let them. They also could have died from all of the warmth in the summer and the getting frozen or frost bite in the winter.
The other worst part about the timein fort summer would be that Sarah Nita didn't know her parents until a long time later,she had to sleep outside in the cold,and that Sarah Nita and her sister Kaibah new nobody. Also for food, Sarah Nita had to pick corn out of cow manure.
