Having had two short short periods in a row, the group decided that they would simply continue their discussion from the 12th into the 13th. To begin with, they began to refine their thesis. Then, they proceeded to better determine the main arguments that they would address in their comparative essay, drawing from the sources they found. By the end of the class, they successfully formed a list demonstrating the outline of the essay - naming the specific evidence.
Following this, the discussion shifted towards the editorial cartoon. Brittany agreed to take care of the cartoon, thus ensued the question: How can we take what we know about the situation in Nepal and transfer it to an editorial cartoon? In the last page of the book, the group identified a picture which showed Yertle's kingdom, returning to its once peaceful state. Yertle is positioned at the bottom right corner, perched on a rock, with the other turtles surrounding him. The group was inspired to replace the faces of the characters in Yertle the Turtle with the individuals involved in the fall of the last Nepali monarchy. For one, Yertle would be replaced by King Gyanendra while Mack would be replaced by Maoist leader, Prachranda. This would show the shift in power in the situation.
