I'm more of a people's person. So Johnny Cook's skills was easy for me to relate to.

Being in the process of learning French, I definitely would like Johnny's knack for languages haha.

Sarah's tracking skill is very cool, to be able to read clues in Nature.

Tracking would be a cool skill to have but I think being able to learn languages quickly would be more useful.

How amazing it would be to be able to communicate with every person on the Earth. The wisdom and stories we could gain are endless, and language is the key to unlocking these treasures!

Sarah is my favorite character and an inspiration for me as a young women. I love how independent she is and how courageous she is. I would like to embody those qualities everyday of my life. I also would love to learn how to track like she does because I don't have nay survival skills.

Oh, yes! Me too. I encountered chiggers for the first time last year. They are the worst! :(

From Colonel Johnny Cook, I learned that when in Rome do as the Romans do.This enabled him blend together with the crowd in which he was. Variety is the spice of life. This I witnessed, since Cook took it upon himself to learn Malay. Patience is another trait I loved about Cook, as he was patient enough to withstand the pains and fears he encountered. The character of Boon proved that every cloud has a silver lining.

Number one skill: tracking. I would track down terrorists that try to rob us of our serenity and normal way of life.

I would love to be an excellent tracker like Sarah. She is my favorite character in the book. I admire the way she balances her tough side and her girly side. She is amazing!

I think I'm cut between Johnny and Sarah. being able to quickly sense scents, and smell and turning that into GPS is really cool. However, quick language learning is way more cool. having that ability to quickly adapt to a new area, and even in the face of danger to still be able to maintain such a high composure is really good. I'm with Johnny Cook on this.

Well, I like Johnny's skill more. His ability to easily adapt and maintain calmness under intense pressure is amazing.
