Max Because she is the
leader of the flock She is a good
example and is obedient
She is very positive when something goes wrong
Protagonist
Fang is the antagonist because he is always going against what Max is trying to do for the flock
Antagonist
Iggy is my favorite character because he is very sarcastic and the things he says are super funny.
He is happy to be who he is and doesn’t let things get in the way.
Favorite Character
Total is my least favorite because it’s a talking dog and I think that is dumb
He also is annoying in the book.

Statistics
Statistics
1,250 square miles (3,240 square kilometers) of the Larsen B ice shelf disintegrated in 2002. The area of the ice was larger than the state of Rhode Island or the nation of Luxembourg. Antarctic ice shelves have been shrinking since the early 1970's because of climate warming in the region.
The Global Warming Overview
Statistics
100% Increase in intensity and durationof hurricanes and tropical stormssince the 1970's, according to a 2005 MIT study.
Coral reefs, which are highly sensitive to small changes in water temperature, suffered the worst bleaching, die off in response to stress ever recorded in 1998.
(Fisher, John)
Statistics
One thing people forget is that Global warming is just a theory.
Research for yourself, don’t let the media decide for yourself by doing personal research.
