Because Of Winn Dixe by: Kate Dicamillo
1. The conflict in this realistic fiction book took place when ten year old Opal moved to Naomi, Florida with her preacher father. Her dad sent her to the Winn Dixie market and on the way she finds a large, ugly homeless dog. This dog got her in more trouble than she had ever imagined but it shortly became her best friend.
2. My favorite character in this book was also the main character, Opal who was a protagonist and static and major. Opal was good at making friends for she many; a few were Otis, an ex- convict who runs a local pet store; Miss Fanny, the librarian who has a desk full of " Litmus Lozenges" a type of candy which her great grandfather invented; and Gloria Dump. A quote from the book that made me realize that she good at making friends was..." Opal; you have been a better friend to me than I believe anyone ever has...."
3.An interesting authors secret in this book was how she made it into a true classic in my mind. What I mean by that is some people may believe that this book I read was to young for my reading level but honestly it had the best inspiring background story and all in all it was a really fun read.
4. A new word I learned in this weeks reading was abjure which is a transitive verb and meaning to make legally void.
5. This book is for sure a book I would do for one of my book commercials because I enjoyed reading it so much I would love to share with my classmates so they to can enjoy reading it as well.
