1.The benefits of working with a classmate.


Unfortunately, I think me and my partner both had very little benefit, but we still had few benefits. First benefit was that by looking through partner's literature, we can absord their skills and learn from them. This benefit really helped me when I was writing connection, which I am always confused with. For me, I believe it also helped me to develop my writing skills. Secondly, by checking partner's job, I noticed that I have few mistakes same as my partner. As a result, I was able to fix and develop mine too.

2. Challenges / obstacles which you overcame (tried to overcome).

There were very few great cooperation with partner, and also there were few challenges and obstacles while working with partner. First challenge that we had to face was searching for different passage each. Since we couldn't just choose anything, we communicated with each other to remind each other what we chose. Second obstacle was time. Since we started quite late, it was hard to check in short time.

3. New understandings that you gained about the novel.

Since our passages were near, I didn't gained any new understanding about the book. However, we discussed about the book few times about parts that had some interesting survival. For example, when we were reading about Brian eating turtle eggs, we talked about eating eggs raw.
