I think Kathi Appelt means To watch her get more of her relatives to help her get Night Song like Grandmother Mocassin.

I think that it means that because Sabine is descended to pumas and leopards, she is like one of them and is remembering them as she hunts.

Sabine didn't really call apon her ancestors. She was a desndent of them and she had their power, so she could 'track and trap an unsuspecting rat."

I think it means sabine is trying to call her family of cats like margey,ocelot,panther and other ones.

I think that one of her rellatives will die or something will happen to her rellitives as fast as a mouse trap and she will feel betrayed.

I think it's talking about Sabine's inherited traits (hunting) from her great ancestors.

June Shanahan said

Aaron C. said

Fabian said

at 11:25 am on Dec 4, 2009

Sabine, she needs her instincts, her instincts from her relatives. She is calling upon her older relatives to guide her and give her extra instincts.

Chris said

I think that she means sabines desendents, like the panther and the puma. Also her inheared traits like,her claws, razor sharp teeth, and her amizing screech.

June Shanahan said

at 12:28 pm on Dec 5, 2009

Actually Sabine is the one who is a descendant of the larger cats. They are her ancestors. I love how you used vocab words in your answers, and I especially love how you mentioned so many inherited traits!!!!!!! A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Alex said

I think it means, Sabine is calling for her family, needing help to track/hunt something or someone.

Tyler said

O.K. I am not responding to the the question but rather making another comment and ? "Hope is definitely a key word in ch. 72. It helped Grandmother Moccasin survive in her clay prison. Hawk Man clung to it like a "spider to a web." It stirred the air around the young daughter. What can "Hope" do for Puck?
