human characteristics.
In Ch. 3, personification is found in these sentences:

12/12/19 What did you think of this book? What did you like about it? What did you not like about it? Would you recommend it to other people? Explain your thinking!

I think this means examples. So like a mirror, to show you how you look. Garvey might think Joe is better built, for how is dad likes. I think it is not true because they are built how they are built. Just go with it. Garvey's friend may help him see himself in a different way because not all kids like sports, like Joe understands, but his dad thinks all kids most play sports and will not let Garvey forget that.

How the auther played with the word is Logan was trying to say "Bendacit please behave your self" But instead he said "Bendacit can you please behave your shelf" because the old man threw dust at Logan so now he is punished!

# data[].attributes.body
I think it means that examples of how you look. Joe sees Garvey differently then Garvey sees himself. But this statement "Do friends make better mirrors?" is not true. Garvey may see himself as a different kid. Garvey thinks Joe is better structured then he is but it does not matter what you look like and I think Garvey wants to look like a normal kid but it does not matter.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that when he says Joes like a mirror for him I think he means that they like very simaler things and there good at the same things.Also I think garvey likes joes garvey because its the closest to who who he really is.

he went back and Benadict was climlng a book shelf and instead of saying behave yourself he said" behave your shelf" instead of saying behave yourself."

Garvey thinks of himself as chubby and awkward but Joe thinks of Garvey as clever, wicked smart in math, and number one at knock-knock jokes. I do not think its true because I have a few friends that are totally different like I like monster movies but my friends like games and football and I'm not like that and who you say you are you are you know you, you are what you want to be. Joe makes garvey fell a different way because garvey has a dad and Joe has no dad at oll and that Garvey isn't what he think he is like I said number one at knock-knock jokes, clever and smart.

# data[].attributes.body
i think it means that joe sees garvey in a diffrent way then what garvey sees himself as and what other people see garvey as.

It happened because they were at a library and then they started to climb the shelf so he started to say will you please try to behave your shelf. The pun is saying behave your shelf but it really means behave your self.

# data[].attributes.body
Logan said "behave your shelf" instead he should have said "behave your self." This is a pun because "shelf" and "self" sound similar to one another.

I think the author named this book "Garvey's Choice" because its his choice to do what he wants to do. He can't let other people tell him what to do. When he decided to do chorus he never had to do it but it was his choice. He didn't want to do it but he decided to do it. This shows that it does not matter what you look like you can still do whatever you would like to do. It also shows how brave he was to do something he has never done.

Question # 1 "Red" is comparing the people in the town to plants in a garden because like there homes are plants in a garden (the town) Question # 2 maby because they are "muslims"???

I know it is persificion because your spine is not alive and it cant shiver it is only your nerves that do that no part of your body can do that unless it is your nerves that shiver and that is how I know.

# data[].attributes.body
i think the reason why the author chose the title Garvey's choise is beqcuse well we know that his dad wants him to be in sports and athletic stuff but when his freind Joe asks him if he would want to be in chorus Garvey has to make a choise if he wants to make his father happy and proud or if he wants to do somthing that he likes and that would make him happy. And i think that the peom on page 54 is important beacuse it sounds like he sighned up for the chourus and is walking in the room but insted of just telling us it gives us almost like cluses to make up think and figure out whats happenning on the page.

# data[].attributes.body
How it is a example of a personification is that your spine can not shiver and run down your back and run up your back and shiver again.I know this because Logan said "I was thinking about that man in the library my spine shivered and ran down my spine and ran back up my spine.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is a shiver on Logons spine that is the personfication.

because samars family just moved in and they are nice but one time some one went by and yelled mean thing at them like leave. maybe because they liked it the way before or they just don't like them.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason page 54 is called "Garvey's choice" is because it's his choice on what he want's to do it's his choice not his dad's or his mom or sisters's choice nobody's just Garvey's and the author titled it because it's the title of the book.

# data[].attributes.body
the author put Garveys choice as the poem title because that was were Garvey had to make the choice between what he wanted and what his dad wants him to be(he chose what he wanted.)

# data[].attributes.body
Beacase he is comparing the garden to the people that used to be there to samars family that is there now.

it is an example of personfication because only your spine that is a nerve can do that and i don't think your stomach is a nerve.

# data[].attributes.body
It is an example of a personification because Logan said I was thinking about that man it felt like my spine was shivering and it ran down my back and back up. I know this is a personification because your spine can not shiver and run down your back and then run back up your back..

i think the reason why music and singing are so inportant to garvey is beacause if somthing bad is going on like somone is being really rude to him or somthing like that he can just listen to music or hum or sing and block that bad stuff out. Garvey handles the tention with his dad by singing somtimes or eating beacuse i think that when he eats or sings he kinda drounds out what his dad or what other peoople are saying about him so then he can foucuse about somthing else that he needs to foucouse about

# data[].attributes.body
I think music and chorus are important to Garvey because he can get his mind off his life at home. Also because it is something he wants to do and not something his dad wants him to do. Garvey usauly handles the tension with his father by getting a drink of water, and eating something. He may also start to study for a test, play chess with Joe, and he also may read one of his favorite books.

# data[].attributes.body
I think music and chorus is important to Garvey because it shows that he can do things that other kids might not think that he can do. He also shows that even though his dad dosen't know about the chorus it shows his dad that he can do other things than being the jock his dad wants him to be. It also shows that he can join school activities and try his best to be him.

why Logan had to take picher's of oxymoron because so he dose not have to say pus ever again. one of the oxymoron is fish department. An oxymoron is a phrase containing contradictory terms.

# data[].attributes.body
He is taking pictures of oxymoron's because he is trying to get unpunished by taking pictures of oxymoron's. I know this because in chapter 4 page 35 he said "There are only 3 steps the first step is bring me seven oxymoron's. And a oxymoron is something that does not make any sense for example chilly that does not make sence because you do not know if they are talking about the food chilli or you being cold chilly.

# data[].attributes.body
Music is important to Garvey because it makes him feel free or he just really enjoys it whatever it is it makes him fell like himself and makes him feel happy. I think that Garvey is handling his dad the same even though we haven't herd from him I still think that his dad want's him to be a jock because how hard he tried for Garvey to be a jock I don't think he's gonna let that thought go.

# data[].attributes.body
A oxymoron is something that does not make sense like freezer burn or jumbo fish or small fish but in the story you are not allowed to make your own because in the story he had a foggy window and wrote true lies then tried takeing a picture of it but it did not work because he had to find it in the world not make his own.

I would recomend this book to everyone because it was SOOOO GOOOD!!!!!!! it had really nice illastrations it had VERRY nice discription in it!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed the book I like how the ather expressed Reds feeling. One thing I didn't like is that there were to many charectors and I would recomend it

# data[].attributes.body
I liked it! I would 100 percent recommend this book if they are looking for something easy! The only thing I do not really like about it is that the chapters are super short, and that there are only 8 chapters. My favorite part is when Logan started saying the puns,and when he was looking for oxymoron's ! One thing that I really liked is that it teaches you what a pun is and a oxymoron and a lot more! In my opinion I think that most of the puns are funny like,when Logan said "I will ketchup with shoe later"

# data[].attributes.body
I did not like some parts because there was not much action and it was not that exiting. Also, the puns were interesting  it was also pretty funny but I do recommed this book for 1st grade or 2nd grade readers. maybe even third grade readers.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked the book because it was really interesting. I think it was good because it expressed Reds, people, and the animals feelings and emotions. I liked everything about it. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves books about people expressing their feelings and emotions.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the book and I do recemend it to others and I liked how many funny puns were in this book and I liked every thing! It is a simple read for most people and it only has 8 chapters and the longest one is only like 15 pages, so if you have not read it I would!

# data[].attributes.body
I liked this book! at first i didnt think i would like it since it was in peom but once i read it i likes it! What i liked about it was insted of just telling me what it was talking about we kinda had to think about that for example when it said '' i shoved that thing in the coal black of my closet." What i didnt like about the book was when it said the guy named Luther but it didn't tell us like what he did or what he looked like and stuff so then we had to go look it up or wait till discutoin to find out who he was. I really liked this book tho and i would for sure recomend it for other people to read and you can read it pritty fast since it s in peom!

# data[].attributes.body
I liked that this book was a pretty short book and someone in fourth grade could read it pretty quickly.  Also, I liked that it had a very good message.  Do not judge someone.  I did not like this book because it was written in poetry.  I do not think that is the most enjoyable type of writing to read.  But other then that it was a pretty good book.  I would recommend this book to people that like a little bit of shorter books.  Also people that like to red books in the form of pottery. Over all I think Garvery's choice was a fairly good book to read.

# data[].attributes.body
I like this book because Logan had to say a bunch of puns one thing like about this book is Logan pants where one fire one thing I did not like about this book when he had to go to the library so many times I will recemend this book to other people because it is so funny and joyful.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the book i really recommend it especially if you like puns or funny books.Things i liked about it were that it had puns was really funny i also learned new things from this book and i liked when Ben was acting like his pants were on fire. Things i didn't like nothing, i liked every thing about it!

# data[].attributes.body
I think this was a good book. For a fourth grader they would be able to read through this very fast. I think 3rd and 4th graders would like this book. I think it has a very good message. I liked that it told that it doesn't matter what you look like just move along everyday. I didn't like that sometimes it wouldn't describe the characters. Over all I think Garvey's Choice was a good book.

# data[].attributes.body
what I like about this book it funny

# data[].attributes.body
I absolutely LOVED this book. Because it gives great advise, uses detail but not two much detail, it makes you have emotional felling's, and over all a perfect poetry book. The thing I didn't like were...nothing. From what I just said I absolutely 100 percent recommend this book to anybody.
