What do Ivan and September learn from Harry about their mothers death. Their mom was coming back to see them because they were sick and she went across the bay and got killed by a williwaw. Their father thinks that it was his fault that their mother couldn't hear him because of the setup of the radios.

In this chapter we learned how Mrs.Crane dided.
Harry basically said that Mrs.Crane was in the boat and that there was a williwaw and the boat sunk. I think Mr.Crane has lots of feelings about Mrs.Crane. He probably misses her alot.

Harry said that there father was calling his wife to come home quick before the Williaw came. Mr.Cranes wife died do he didn't tell September or Ivan how their mom died. Then Harry tried to get that out of the kids heads but that didn't work. So the kids didn't talk much at dinner.

In this chapter we learned how Mrs.Crane past away. Harry said that that Ivan and September where sick and Mrs.Crane went to buy medicine for them and there was a williwaw. And the dad was calling Mrs.Crane but Harry said he could barely hear so it was not possible for Mrs.Crane to hear. And the next day the dad Mr.Crane found the antennae behind the house. He blames him self for the reason that she past away.

This is the story that Harry told to the kids of what had happened to their mother and how she died. Well their mom was going to cross the bay from town and then the williwaw came up from the moutains and mr.Crane tried to tell their mother to stay In town but she couldn't hear over the noise. So sadly she got in the Adrietta and she got stuck in the storm and sadly she had passed away. Harry said that Mr.Crane (Ivan and Septembers dad) never talks about it or even her.

In this chapter we learned that mrs.crane (their mom) had died. What Harry told them was that their mom was in the ocean in Alaska. It was a stormy night and the to children (that was Ivan and September) we very sick. Their mother was trying to get home to her children and her husband but it was way to stormy. Their father was at home on the radio telling their mother to stay at the bay and come home tomorrow. She would not Liston and the last time he said it she was gone and under the waves.

Harry told them that their father said it was all their dads fault. That reason is because the radio antennae was in the wrong spot. He still thinks it is all his fault even today.

What I think Ivan and September fell like is sad

How their mom died is when the williwaw came and Ivan and Septembers dad tried to tell their mom to came home as fast as she could and one of them couldn't hear what they were saying and she couldn't make it.

What I think their dad feels like about their moms death is sad and wants to see her again

What we learned about September and Ivan's mothers death...
Their mother went to their Aunt Neldas because she was scary sick.
Their dad was on the radio with her telling her to turn back because there was a williwaw but she didn't. She never came back and that's how they knew she had past.
Their dad never does talk about their mother, I guess because its to sad for him to talk about it, their dad does blame him self for her pass but it wasn't his fault.
That's what we learned about September and Ivan's mothers death.
