MAIN CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF MRS. FRANNY

# data[].attributes.body
She is an old lady. She loves to read from a very young age. Her dad was rich, so she could afford her own library when she was a little girl. She's been through a lot. That is why she likes to tell her stories to other people. And she has so many stories to tell, like about bear that came to her library or about her great-grandfather in the Civil war. She is nice, but lonely - she does not have a husband or children and she does not have many friends either.

Today changed my life. I am dog and I had used to live on street. No one wanted me. But today was a big change. It started like normal day. I was bored so I ran into the shop and was running around. Manager started scream on me.He was very funny! But he had to be  in a bad mood. He said ,,someone call the pound!” I thought that would be the end for me. But suddenly someone spoke up ,,That’s my dog!” I turned around to this voice. It was a girl. She was interested in me ! She took me to her house, where she had lived with her dad. And she named me Winn-Dixie! Now I am having a home and feeling clean. And I have a very kind mistress.

Winn Dixie and Opal are in the kitchen. Winn Dixie doesn't want to eat the food in his bowl.

Winn-Dixie: Bark!

Opal: Come on Win Dixie, it's still food.

Winn Dixie: Woof!

Opal: I know it's not the same brand but they stopped producing the food you usually eat..

Win Dixie: Bark, bark! (He turns away)

Opal: Sure it's not the same, but it tastes real good, I promise

Winn-Dixie: (stays silent)

Opal: Fine. Do I have to taste it? Is that it ? Is that what you want?

Winn-Dixie: Woof. (he wags his tail)

Opal: Here I go... (she slowly brings a piece of Winn-Dixie's food to her mouth. When she finally eats it she smiles sourly at her dog)

Winn Dixie: Woof?

Opal: Uh, It's real good. Try it.

Winn Dixie: Bark! (he wags his tail and starts eating happily)

Opal: You're a real stubborn dog, aren't ya? Oof, that was disgusting.

From then on, Winn-Dixie ate his new food without any problems.

Tonight's party at Gloria's with Opal and Winn-Dixie was quite an adventure. The atmosphere was wonderful, full of laughter and joy. Opal and I told stories while Winn-Dixie, as always, charmed everyone with her playful antics.

But the mood suddenly changed when a thunderstorm unexpectedly rolled in. It was thundering and raining hard. In the chaos, Winn-Dixie disappeared and panic set in. Opal and Preacher went out to look for her, but they couldn't find her. When they returned, they found that Winn-Dixie had been under the bed the whole time!

Even with the momentary fear, the party continued and we found comfort in each other's company. I couldn't stop thinking about the value of friendship and the comfort it brings even in the middle of a thunderstorm.

Such meetings are truly special and I look forward to more such moments when laughter fills the air and worries are left at the door. Until next time, I will cherish the memories we made today and look forward to the next opportunity to celebrate the simple joys of life with my dear friends.

Winn - Dixie - Main characteristic features

He is a big, happy dog. He is named as one American supermarket. He’s very friendly and funny. He like peanut butter. His owner is Opal and she really love him. He’s afraid of the storm.

# data[].attributes.body
He is a middle aged man who works at the church. He is the father of Opal (the protagonist). He’s kind and generous but also sad. His wife left him when Opal was only three years old because she was tired of being the Preacher’s wife. She was just really stressed out about everyone judging her but her leaving only made the Preacher very miserable. Even though it must have been awful and sad time for him he took a good care of his daughter and he raised her well. He was always kind to Opal even when she asked him about her mother which had to be a really hard question for him to answer. I don’t think he ever really got over Opal’s mother but by the end of the book he was more willing to talk to Opal about her than at the beggining so I think that’s good character development. Overall I think he’s a good man and a good character.

Gloria is old and nice lady. Many people think of her in a bad way, because she doesn't socialize. Some kids can think of her even as a witch, however i think you shouldn't judge book by it's cover. Actually she is very kind, comforting, inspirating and fascinating. A have to add that she is really bold. She has lot of experiences, which she doesn't mind sharing with others. I feel like her appearance always makes better converstations. Also Gloria tries to see something good even in situations that must be hard for her.

Gloria’s diary entry

Dear diary. Yesterday I met this girl, named Opal. I met her with her dog named Winn-Dixie. I swear she is one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met. She is kind, young, very easy to talk with. I’m not young anymore. In fact, I don’t have any friends. I could tell her lots of things that I haven´t been able to say to anyone for years. I hope she will visit me again. I´m quite tired. It’s time to go to bed. I’ll tell you more about her tomorrow. Goodnight!

When I woke up in the morning, I got dressed, brushed my teeth, ate breakfast and went to the pet store, where I worked. When I arrived, I had to clean up a bit first, because I left everything dirty the night before. I had to sweep the floor and fill the shelves with the products. When I finished, I had some time to play the guitar for a while. That is what I love to do. Around three o'clock, one customer came who was very rude. As the animals sense a bad person, they became very impatient and therefore trashed the entire pet store. I got so angry because I had to close the store and tidy up everything again. That took me a lot of time, so when I finished I was very tired and I headed home to rest.

First one is called Dunlap and second one is stieve. They also looks almost the same beacuse thes are twins. They are something around 10 years old. They also usually wear the same clothes, shorts and a stripped

t-shirt. They often behave the same and have the same opinions. First when they met Opal they though that she is wierd and not very funny, but after they knew each other a bit more they became good friends.
