In Chapter 7, we learned that if power and jobs are shared in small groups, rather than one person holding all of the power and responsibility, leadership can be shared, decisions can be made as a team, and groups may end up feeling more satisfied.

Chapter 11 was a good chapter. The doctors are working on math with Mila they are also working on how to search things on the computer. I do not think it is important for Mila to learn these skills because she should be learning how to be more like a human than a dolphin.

I chose these things because since she is more used to dolphins than us humans so she should learn more human things.
