    1.Two reasons why the soldiers are so suprised that that Mulan was a woman are because they had fought side by side with her for ten years
    and also because Mulan looked like a man with her armor on.
    2. If Mulan had asked to be dressed as a female soldier ,warriors or other people might have said for her to go away and not fight in the battle and make her father or her younger brother to fight instead.

    #2 Mulan didn't tell her mom that there was news of war because didn'twant any of her family to go to war.

    #3 If Mulan had asked to dress like a girl she would be thrown out of war and her old and week dad would be put into war.She would be thrown out of war because women are not aloud in war.

    6. Both Mulan and Axel are alike and different.They are alike because they both were brave.Axel was brave because Axel climbed a mountain during a thunder storm trying to save his dog Grits and Mulan was brave because she was a women and she went to war.One resson why they are diffrent because Mulan's setting took place in Cina and Axel's took place in Whyoming at the great Teton Mountains.4. Mulan as been retold for hundreds of years because it is a legend and legends are makebeleve storys that have been told from hundreds of years ago.
