Because of Winn-Dixie makes a good
title for the book. For example, Opal fells more loved with Winn-Dixie and Opal
learns more about responsibility. Opal’s life changes with Winn-Dixie.
Opal knows Otis because of
Winn-Dixie. If Opal didn’t have Winn-Dixie she wouldn’t know Otis. For
instance, Opal met his friend Otis by thinking his dog needed a collar. So Opal
walked into Otis’s pet shop but she didn’t have the money so she sweeped the
store every day until she earned the collar. While she sweeped she learned a
lot about Otis like that he was in jail. She also learned that if you’re comfortable
around someone you can trust to be your friend.
Opal knows Gloria Dump because of
Winn-Dixie. Opals less lonely with Gloria dump around, I think Gloria reminds
Opal of her mama because she likes hearing stories and she likes to laugh. Opal
met her by riding his bike home from Miss Frannys when Winn-Dixie ran into her
yard Gloria sees the dog and feeds them sandwiches. From then on they told each
other stories and became friends. I think Opal is less lonely. Because of Winn Dixie
she’s comforted by Gloria Dump who reminds Opal of her mama. To further support
my idea Miss Franny comforts Opal by telling stories. Otis makes Opal feel good
with his crazy guitar skills. Opal has a better relationship with the preacher
because he opens his heart to Winn-Dixie and Opal. Because he has love now so
he opens his heart.
You feel more loved with someone
around to help you. I always remembered feeling loved with my dog around, like
how Opal feels loved with Winn-Dixie around. You feel comfortable with a friend
around.
Dear Sam,
ReplyDeleteThat was a great blog post. In my literary essay I also mentioned that Otis went to jail. I liked how you think Gloria reminded Opal of her mama because I never thought of it like that.

Dear Sam,
ReplyDeleteYour post about "Because of Winn Dixie" reminded me of the time many years ago that we watched the movie together. It was a wonderful story, with great characters. Very heartwarming. I'm sure that I cried.
You did a good job in this blog post making the connection between Opal's experience and your experience with Copper. It's true that animals give you unconditional love and help you feel loved all the time. We are so lucky to have that comforting experience, especially when we have difficult times.
Will you watch the movie again with me?
Mom
