Our class is describing Sophie's character traits.  So far, we have come up with curious, sneaky, scared/afraid, nervous, horrified... time for the next chapter!

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Sophie is very brave and intelligent. She hasn't cried yet or showed she may be scared when talking with the BFG. If that were me, I would be trembling and probably have a few fearful tears! She is smart and quick thinking, especially when she knows not to make the BFG angry. My 3rd graders think she may be an orphan since there is no mention of her parents and she lives with a lot of other kids. We are loving the book so far!

# data[].attributes.body
I think Sophie's character traits are adventures,brave,kind, and nice. I would not have been looking out the window! If I was scooped up with the giant hand l would jump right out!

# data[].attributes.body
Sophie was very frightened when she was trapped by the giant.
She was relieved that the giant was nice.
Sophie was scared when the giant told her about the other giants that eat humans. I think in the beginning Sophie should not have lock out the curtains because if she did not then she would still be at the orphan with all the other kids. When she saw the giant coming to her I liked her idea of hiding under her blankets. Everyone is loving the bag even the teacher. Some people predicted that bfg means big friendly giant. One part of the story I was scared a little when the giant said your living here for the rest of your life. I think that she is in the middle of the night going to sneak out of the place and go back to her orphan.
I think that the next chapter is going to be about how she might try to ascape.

I If I was Sophie I would be scared but I think Sophie is really brave to face the BFG.

I think Sophie is brave, curious, adventurous, and scard. She brave because she never cried. Sophie curious about the Gient. She adventures because she wanted to esplor the cave. She scard because she got capchered.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Sophie personally is brave from being kidnapped from a unknown tall thing and is high up but not crying. Different she is up at 3:00 while everyone else is asleep. Orphan there is nothing about parents and she sleeps with lots of other kids. Knows stuff because she saw the giant.

# data[].attributes.body

I think Sophie's nice because she didn't yell at the giant for taking her or she didn't call him negative things. If that was me I would force the giant to bring me back to home. I would make a promise to not tell anyone that giants exist. I would be scared and sad. I don't know how she's not forcing the giant to come home. She's probably the bravest kid ever! I'm not that brave but if I was Sophie I would not be scared and sad.

Sophie is Brave, Nice, and curious. Sophie  is brave for going up to the window and   looking outside. When she got taken she was nice to the BFG and was curious of what he eats and what he will do with her. She is also scared. She is scared of getting eaten by the other giants beside the BFG. She saw the BFG so the BFG is keeping her forever because he doesn't want her to tell the world about him and so the Giants don't get hunted. She said that it f the BFG hadn't taken her she would've told everybody that she saw a giant. So I don't think Sophie is trustworthy but she may be. She was an orphan but now I think of the BFG as Sophie's parent.
