Quote Master #3:
1.) "We had come to find rhinoceroses: northern white rhinoceroses, of which there were about twenty-two left in Zaire, and eight in Czechoslovakia." (pg. 51)
I feel that it's significant because it tells how what they found, what kind, how many, and where.
2.) "The aircraft was a sixteen-seater, filled by the three of us--Mark, Chris Muir (our BBC sound engineer), and myself--and thirteen missionaries." (pg. 52)
I feel that it's significant because it tells what they flew on, how many seats, and who was inside.
3.) "In contradiction of everything sensible we know about geography and geometry, the sky over Kenya is simply much bigger than it is anywhere else." (pg. 53)
I feel that it's significant because it tells the geography of Kenya and how big it is.
4.) "I certainly don't like the idea of missionaries." (pg. 53)
I feel that it's significant because it tells that they don't like anything dealing with cultural people.
5.) "This consisted of a large concrete shed with two fair-sized rooms in it connected by a corridor." (pg. 54)
I feel that it's significant because it tells how big is their room and what's it connected to.

Last Chance To See
By: Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine
Time Master #2:
1.) The first animal they went to look for three years later was the Komodo dragon lizard.
2.) Mark spent part of the three years planning and researching new expeditions by writing letters and telephoning.
3.) They met up in a hotel room in Melbourne and examined their expedition equipments.
4.) They brought back a cricket cat.
5.) They hid the cricket bat under the bed and then opened up the beers while talking about what they were up for next.
6.) A man in Melbourne probably knows more about poisonous snakes than anyone else on earth.
7.) They asked if they could take a snake bite detector kit with them for the Komodo dragon lizard.
8.) They flew to Bali where David Attenborough said that it's the most beautiful place in the world.
9.) The narrow, muddy streets of Kuta had gift shops and hamburger bars and drunken, shouting tourists, Kamikaze motorcyclists, watch sellers, and small dogs.
10.) There are no woodpeckers in Madagascar or Papua New Guinea.

Map Master #1:
1.) In 1985, he was sent to Madagascar with Mark Carwardine from a journalistic accident to look for an almost extinct form of lemur also known as aye-aye.
I highlighted this point because it tells you about the setting and the characters.
2.) The aye-aye is a nocturnal lemur.
I highlighted this point because it tells you what an aye-aye is.
3.) Everything that lives on Madagascar doesn't exist anywhere else on Earth.
I highlighted this point because it tells you what existed on Madagascar, but not on Earth.
4.) Madagascar had a major evolutionary change from the arrival of the monkeys.
I highlighted this point because it tells you what Madagascar had a major evolutionary change from.
5.) Fifteen hundred years ago, the monkeys finally arrived or the monkeys' descendants, us.
I highlighted this point because it tells you how long ago the monkeys and human beings arrived.
