 * By now, you've noticed that some of the words are written in bold. What does that mean? **

I have noticed the words in bold, and I know that it means that there is an important vocabulary word. The word will explain a lot in the reading. Also, it is good to know how to find out what the words mean. It's very important to use context clues, or just look the word up. It will really help understanding the word.

The bolded words are important words,words that you might not know or words in used in Pakistan. Other bolded words are teas and the god Allah. When a word is bolded that means you can look it up in the back of the book in the glossary.

The bold words also have context clues before and or after the word for you to better understand. Since I don't really read non fiction books the context clues were helping me understand and I actually like this book and plan to read more non fiction books.

The words that are in bold are words that are important. They may be uncommon words that most people would not know (many words are words from the Pakistani language). One important thing that you may want to know is that the definitions of the bolded words can be found in the back of the book, in the glossary. For example, one of the words that is bolded is "lassi". Most people would not know that "lassi" is a drink made out of yogurt, and it would be helpful to know what "lassi" is.

After reading the third chapter, I also found words like, antibiotic, painkillers, malnutriton, and chapatti. Luckily I already now what these mean, and that really explains the story well.

While reading the introduction, I saw the words paiyu cha in italics. I was wondering what that is and if it has any significance in the Pakistanian culture.

I have noticed as well that the words that are most likely from the Pakistani language are in italics, but the english words that are important vocabulary words are bolded.

The words in bold mean that they are important to the story. You might see them later in the story, or they might affect the plot. The characters may take a part in using the words to help them find solutions.

I have noticed the words in bold and I think it means that it's an important vocabulary word that we have to study and memorize. And some other of the bolded words are what is in another language.

I have noticed that almost always the brightly bolded words are written in a different language than English or have a high standard vocabulary.

The words in bold print mean that it is a word you might not run across everyday and if you don't know what it means you can look starting on page 193 to find the meaning. Other words in bold are written in a different language also you can find the meaning starting on page 193.

I found that there is an index in the back of the book, so if you are reading and come across a bolded word just go to the back of the book and look it up. It helped me a lot in my reading. Also, they're bolded because they are a different language, or they are just difficult words.

I've noticed that in the book that the bolded words in the book are words that are mostly words in a different language, but other words that are bolded are important words the reader might not know the meaning of. And on that note, if anyone has the adult version of __Three Cups of Tea,__ does it have bolded words too or is it just in the younger version?

When I am reading the book I've notesed that the bolded words are harder to read and to know what they mean. and the deffinitions in the back of the book help so much.

I have noticed that there is an index in the back of the book. When ever I see a word bolded I go back there and look up what it means. Some are even in a diffrent language.

Yes, the bolded words are in the back of the book, in the glossary. You will find that it is very helpful.

On page 12, Greg tells us that Haji Ali made a fire of yak dung. What is that? What do you use it your house to heat the house and to cook with?

I looked up on [|sherpatrek] yak dung and found out that it is yak poop that is collected to use as fuel or for a fire.

Yak dung is the droppings of the animal, the yak, you can burn it and make fire. I do not know what it is used for though.

Yak Dung has to harden before it can burn. So they smash it on the wall and then let it dry. It's somewhat like coal. From former knowledge, I know that yak dung is the poop of an animal called a yak. In modern days, we usually use sparks to spark a fire on stoves, and vents and air conditioning, but we also use wood to start fires in fireplaces. What purposes can yak dung be used for? I found the word Diwali and did not know what it was so i looked it up on [|Dictionary.com] and found that Diwali is "the Hindu festival of lights, celebrated as a religious holiday throughout India in mid-November."

On page 52: "Twaha reached into his pocket and took out a small, round medallion woven of colorful wool. A tomar, or a badge of courage, it was meant to keep away evil spirits." Do you have something that you keep for good luck? I have a necklace I wear to tests that i believe is good luck, but it probbaly isn't.

I have a bracelet that I wear everywhere and I think it brings me good luck on things like tests.

Greg mentions Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. Did anyone learn about why they are famous ? According to [|Academy Achievements] and [|Tenzing Norgay Adventures,] Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay are famous for reaching the summit of Mount Everest. They reached the summit together around 11:30 on the morning of May 29, 1953.

[|Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay] are so famous because they were the first people to set foot on the untouched summit of Mount Everest. At 29,035 feet above sea level they were at the summit of the mountain in 1953 May 29th 11:30 am.

What is a dowry? Why do dowries exist? What countries have dowries? The definition of dowry is the money, goods, or estate that a wife brings to her husband at marriage. Dowries exist as a way for the bride to bring her share to the marriage. (I learned this from a book and I don't remember the title) The groom usually brings his home and promises to have a job, and the bride brings her dowry. They also were used to encourage a man to marry a woman.

A dowry can be used as a bribe to marry someone or its just what the bride takes into marrige

According to M[|erriam-Webster], a dowry is a gift of money that a man usually gives to his bride. I read in boks about wedding dowries, but sometimes the father gives the dowry to his daughter. Also, dowries could help get a family started and help them to afford houses and such.
