JOURNEY TO THE RIVER SEA - CHAPTER 23 TO 24 ANSWERS

1) Miss Minton was trying to create an English-Xanti dictionary, so whenever she learned a new word she wold be able to understand what it meant.

2) The Xanti tribe lived very differently from Maia and her friends They would; Play, Dine, Party, hunt, make baskets, weave hammocks. etc.

3) The person that 'rescued' Maia Miss Minton Professor Glastonberry and Finn was Captain Pereia aboard a gun boat carrying many policemen. The reason they 'rescued' them was because, the police had found Miss Minton's corset and had gotten the idea she had been taken hostage by the tribe. So, Colonel Da Silva sent a search party to go and look for her and any others.

4) The important message left for Finn was written by Clovis who, as it seems is in trouble.

5) Clovis and Finn eventually decided on tat Clovis would stay at Westwood and be the Heir and, Finn would return to the Amazon and live there. It would seem as though Westwood is where Clovis belongs and the Amazon is where Finn belongs.

6) Maia, Miss Minton, Professor Glastonberry and Finn are finally and eventually allowed to live in Brazil and in the depths of the Amazon for life.

7) If you were to disappear in the world now, It wouldn't be as easy to get away or stay hidden because of modern technology and you would have many many people looking for you.

8) If this book was set in present times (now), then no, I don't think Finn would have as much control over Maia because, in the old times girls and women were told to keep quiet and do housework and not engage in outdoor thing plus, Maia goes to an all girls boarding school where as now not many people send their children to boarding schools anymore.
