Literary Essay By. Shimon Gamel


Anyone could use a friend. In Because of Winn-Dixie by. Kate Dicamillo Opal has no friends and she meets people who have no friends. People need friends because when you have friends you have more fun. From reading Because of Winn-Dixie I learned that anyone can be your friend.
Just because they are mean doesn’t mean they can’t be your friend. Dunlap was mean to Opal he called her mean names. Steve was mean to Opal he called her mean names but at the end Dunlap and Steve came to her party and became her friend. Amanda was mean to Opal she put Opal down but Opal understood how she felt about her brother.
You can meet people of all ages and be there friend because they are nice. Opal met Gloria she is so old she has bad eye sight and wrinkle skin. Opal met Otis he is in his 30 and he has been to jail but he is really nice. Mrs. Franny is really nice and she is 70.
You can meet people without trying. Opal met Sweetie Pie Thomas when she saw a bird on a dog’s head. Opal met Otis when she was trying to get a job. Opal met Winn-Dixie buying tomatoes for her dad.
Anyone should be your friend when you try. I use to have no friends like Opal but now I have a lot. That about wraps it up.

  1. Dear Shimon,
    Wow that was really good! All that stuff you said what was totally true. I loved the part were you made a universal statement. "Well that about wraps it up."

  2. Dear Shimon,
    That was an excellent post. I think it was crazy how Winn- Dixie met Opal.
