In my opinion, I think Ms. Greenberg has many effects on others. To Trevor, I believe she has more of a 'grandmotherly' type warmth for him. As an example, she often buys Kool-Aid for him, because she knows he comes around to talk to her on his daily paper route, even when he doesn't have to. Also, she was more than willing to become involved with Trevor's Pay It Forward idea. After being told about it, she replied, "I can only speak for myself, Trevor, and say that I really will get around to it and take it every bit as seriously as I know how to." This showed that, instead of just saying 'oh, yeah, maybe if I have time I'll do it', she pretty much promised him she would.

Today in PIF we were assigned  to describe how the author develops the character of Mrs. Greenberg through your assigned characterization lens.  Mine was her thoughts.  Some of her thoughts are "Terri and Matt, that's two who could probably could be counted on to pass it along, and maybe that nice lady at the North County Cat Shelter would make a fitting third" I think she is trying to pay it forward like Trevor wants which is really kind of her. This proves his project is working so far.

On page 71, Greenberg was looking threw her window into Trevor's house window and saw a well-dressed black man she thought "Well, good, then. Good for them." Mrs. Greenberg hoped Trevor's mother wouldn't let any any small minds get in her way. Greenberg seems like the character that will put people before her (Selfless) she is very kind to others.

In chapter 7, Mrs. Greenberg is introduced as a very nice character. Proof of this could be found in her actions towards others. Some actions she made towards others are helping stray cats she found in alleys by feeding them, and also giving Trevor cherry kool-aid when he delivered the papers and then talking with him about school and how things are going with him. So those are her big actions so far in the book and how they impacted others.

Today we read Pay It Forward by Cathryn Ryan Hyde we were asked to describe how Mrs. Greeberg looked or her physical features. Mrs. Greenberg has arthritis. On page on page 63 the text says, "Lately, she'd begun to dream of waking up, flexing through the pain in her arthritic joints." I can also infer that she is an older women. She has a grown son so that probably means she is in her 60s or older. Also on page on page sevendy the text says,

# data[].attributes.body
On page 69, Mrs. Greenberg thought Terri and Matt, that's two who would probably could be counted on to pass along, and maybe that nice lady at the North County Cat Shelter would make a nice third. This shows that she is still thinking towards Trevor to pay it forward, unlike how others might take the act of kindness and not pay anything forward.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 70, Mrs. Greenberg is thinking about giving money to Terri and Matt. She thinks "Yes... It's right" This shows that she isn't like the people Trevor is worried about who wont pay it forward. She will Pay it forward to three people, these people are listed on page 69 where it say "Terri and Matt, that's two who probably could be counted to pass it along, and maybe that nice lady at the North County Cat Shelter would make a fitting third," This shows that she really is thinking about what she's doing, and that it isn't a "Random act of kindness" like she first thought.

Yesterday we read Pay It Foward. My job was to pick a few quotes/sentences that Ida also know as Mrs. Greenberg says. The first sentence/quote that I thought was really significant was "I can only in truth speak for myself, Trevor, and say that I really will get around to it and take it every bit as seriously as I know you do." I really liked that because it showed that Mrs. Greenberg is invested in Paying It Foward, and ready for the challenge. Because she knows how much Trevor likes Paying it foward. And I like Trevor knows she is all in. Another sentence/quote that I really enjoyed is "You have a good woman there," I really like that because she knows her because of Trevor and she really likes that and she thinks that is where he got that kindness. Because she took that extra mile, with all the problems just to see Trevor's house and maybe go see him.After that she said "A good woman, with a good boy." I really like that one too! Just like the other one, she knows where he gets it and she wants Trevor to keep up the good work, to get a good outcome in return. She also wants the best for both of them so everyone can be like Trevor and look up to him.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 65 Mrs. Greenberg is saying "Shoot. You paid somebody. I told you I'd do it." a few lines down she also says "Very funny" and "I told you I'd do it." From just those few sentences I would say Ida
(Mrs. Greenberg) is very true spoken and also maybe a little sarcastic as she was saying "Very funny". Shes also very ambitious in a way. She keeps saying I will do it and I could have done it. She doesnt want other people doing things they dont have to.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 69 of PIF, we see Mrs. Greenberg thinking about Terri, Matt and the woman at the Cat Shelter and how their trustworthy. She wants to help Trevor with his Paying it Forward project by Paying it Forward to a few trustworthy others. This shows two examples of her thinking about others, with her believing other people can be trustworthy, and thinking about Trevor's project in the process.
A third example of Mrs. Greenberg thinking is on page 71 when she is peering into Trevor's house and she sees Reuben. She is thinking about Arlene and how its good that she had some company and how its "Good for them."

Yesterday we read Pay It Forward. We can infer from the text that she is elderly because on page 63 the text states,  "stretching and flexing through the pain in her arthritic joints" You can tell she is older because of this because arthritis is most commonly found in older people. She's very frail because of her arthritis and age, but still decided to work in her garden so she might have dirt on her hands and clothes .

On page 67 Mrs. Greenberg says "I can only in truth speak for myself, Trevor, and say that I really will get around to it and take it every bit as seriously as I know you do." I think that this shows how understanding, determined, and caring Mrs. Greenberg is. She understands how important Trevor's project is to him, she cares about keeping it going, and she is determined to not give up. She is the kind of person that you can always trust to get something done. She is going to help Trevor in keeping the Pay it Forward movement going.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 67  Ida says ''how is the project going so far?'' this tells me she is considered about Trevor

# data[].attributes.body
On page 71 Mrs. Green berg simply thinks  well good, then. Good for them. This shows she is caring about other people and is exited that Rueban and Arlene are meeting. She mentioned that the man looked nice and how Arlene did also this shows she is being positive to these people getting together instead of thinking negatively.

On page 65 Mrs. Greenberg is talking to her son Richard who is a grown man. She says, "I didn't pay. The neighbor boy did it for free." She also said, "Yes. You told me. But you didn't do it." On page 67, she is talking to Trevor about the Pay it Forward project. She says, "How's the project going so far?" This shows that she cares about Trevor and wants to make sure he is doing okay. She also says on page 67, "I can only in truth speak for myself, Trevor, and say that I really will get around to it and take it every bit as seriously as I know you do." This means that she is really truthful and when she makes a promise she keeps it. On page 72, she sees Reuben St. Clair in the window of the McKinney's house. She whispers to herself, "You have a good woman there. A good woman with a good boy. You take care of them. I know you will." This shows that she wants to make sure Trevor and his mom are okay and she thinks that it is good that they have someone else to be friends with.

On page 69 Mrs. Greenberg was already ready thinking about how to Pay it Forward for Terri and Matt who work in the grocery store Mrs. Greenberg shops at, as well as the lady at the North Country Cat Shelter where Mrs. Greenberg delivers cat food to. Also on page 69 Mrs. Greenberg thought her son Richard need tough love, after she put his soda on the shelf. On page 71 it shows Mrs. Greenberg is altruistic be cause she cares about Trevor

# data[].attributes.body
Mrs. Greenberg is an old women. She is sick and has arthritis. On page 69 it says, "A boy who could love a garden for a sick, arthritic women who couldn't love it enough." Mrs Greenberg also seems very fragile and frail. "She took a hot bath and laid herself, coughing, to bed.

# data[].attributes.body
In the book PIF Mrs. Greenberg said on page 67, "I can only in truth speak for myself, Trevor, and say that I really will get around to it and take it every bit as seriously as I know you did." This quote shows how Mrs. Greenberg is a truthful person and always likes to tell the truth. It also shows how Mrs. Greenberg keeps her promises, and if someone asks her to do something, she will do it.  On page 72, Mrs. Greenberg also said, "You have a good woman there." "A good woman with a good boy. You take care of them. I know you will." This quote shows how Mrs. Greenberg is an Altruistic person. She cares more about Trevor's family than her own, since she is saying that she hopes Rueben will take care of them. She is looking out for them.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on what Mrs. Greenberg said on page 67 from the Pay It Forward book "I can only in truth speak for myself, Trevor, and say that I really will get around to it and take it every bit as seriously as I know you do." what Mrs. Greenberg is saying is she will get around to paying it forward and she will take it as seriously as Trevor which makes me feel she's sincere and she cares she's not just going to say oh thanks you fixed my garden, by now. no she's going to take Trevor's challenge and she's going to pay it forward

# data[].attributes.body
In the book PIF, Mrs. Greenberg shows her character with her thoughts.  For instance, in the grocery store, on page 69, Mrs. Greenberg is thinking about who she will "pay it forward" to, or pass on the act of kindness Trevor gave to her.  She had promised that she would do this, and she was proving that she plans ahead and is organized.  Also, on page 68, she wonders if her son Richard would notice what Trevor did to help out Mrs. Greenberg. This shows Mrs. Greenberg doesn't think very great thoughts about Richard, and that he might be ungrateful.

# data[].attributes.body
In the book "Pay It Forward" Mrs. Greenberg's thoughts reveal that Mrs. Greenberg cares about carrying on Trevor's pay it forward act. (page 69) "Terri and Matt, that's two who probably could be counted on to pass it along, and maybe that nice lady at the North County Cat Shelter would make a fitting third." In Mrs. Greenberg's thought she thinks that Terri and Matt (her two favorite people in the world) could pass it along. It being the pay it forward act. Mrs. Greenberg is the type of person who keeps her word. She is thinking about paying it forward even in her free time

# data[].attributes.body
On page 72, Ms. Greenberg, while looking into Trevor's home on her way back from her grocery run, had noticed a man (Reuben) visiting the family. She stopped, surprised at seeing a new man in the household, and said aloud to herself, "You have a good woman there.......A good woman with a good boy. You take care of them. I know you will." I thought this was significant to figuring out her personality because it shows that she truly does look out for others, even when they may not be doing the same for her. Another example I found was on page 65, when she was talking to her son Richard about her garden, which was just tended to by Trevor. Richard seemed a little upset by this, because he told his mother he could have done it for her, but she simply replied, "Yes. You told me. But you didn't do it." I thought this was a great line from her, because it shows that when it comes down to it, she will take matters into her own hands and find ways to get things done when people don't follow through with their actions.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 69 Mrs. Greenberg  thought in her head that Terri and Matt were two people to be counted on, she also thought about her son in her head that he should not drink the soda and put it back on the shelf. Another thought she had in her head was that the nice cat lady at the cat shelter would be a good third for Trevor's project. On page 71 she says that she is happy for Arlene because she thinks she is going to get married to Reuben and in her mind she says good for them. This shows she is a good person.

# data[].attributes.body
Mrs. Greenberg is a nice lady who is true to her word that she will pay it forward to three more people she shows she is nice through her actions by trying to give Trevor thanks not related to pay it forward, she immediately she starts to think about paying it forward. A lot of the time she keeps offering Trevor things because he is fixing her garden.

# data[].attributes.body
Mrs. Greenberg lets Trevor help her with her yard and garden. She also seems to have enjoyed taking car of her garden but because of her arthritis she can't it says on page 63 " The pain in her aching joints," and she is also nice because it says she offered the people who helped he Kool-Aid, it in fact says on page 66 " she always offered him a glass of cherry Kool-Aid." Mrs. Greenberg also seems to want to help Trevor with his act of kindness, she says on page 67, " I really will get around to it," in reference to his Pay it Forward. Mrs. Greenberg also tries to slip a five dollar bill into Trevor's pocket, this shows that she wants to help Trevor.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Mrs.Greenberg is frail lady, not too old, but still may be close to death because on page 70 it says, "Her chest first began to hurt on the way home. Not her heart, but more her lungs, like a bad congestion, and she stopped often to catch her breath. She was not such a old woman, she had to remind herself, just over retirement age, but since losing Martin, her body seemed to turn in on itself, as though it couldn't wait.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Mrs. Greenberg Is very kind and welcoming to Trevor. because on page 66 the book, "Pay It Forward." by Catherine Ryan Hyde, it says, "She was so pleased by his thoughtful attention that she always offered him a glass of cherry Kool-Aid."  this shows how she's very kind to Trevor and really likes when he comes to see her. Her physical traits are very frail and old. because on page 63 the text says, "Lately, she'd begun to dream of waking up, stretching and flexing through the pain in her arthritic joints, easing to the window that, as if by magic, the garden was once whole." This shows how she's very fragile and old, and also is suffering from arthritis.

I think Mrs. Greenberg is a nice and caring person. I think this because on page 67 when trevor asked "

Today I read “Pay It Forward” by Catherine Ryan Hyde. I read chapter 7 which was about Mrs. Greenberg. I think that Mrs. Greenberg is a very thoughtful, trustworthy and she has integrity. First I think that Mrs. Greenberg is thoughtful because she is the type of person who is always thinking of others in a kind and positive way and is always doing anything that she can to help out her peers. For example on page 67 she says, “I can only in truth speak for myself Trevor, and say that I really will get around to it and take every bit as seriously as I know you do.” right after this sentence the narrator says “She could still remember his smile.” this show’s how that day Mrs. Greenberg made Trevor smile by just simply being herself and telling him what she thought. I think that Mrs. Greenberg is a trustworthy person because she is really thinking of ways that she can make Trevor’s act of kindness grow. To prove my statement, on page 69, Mrs. Greenberg is thinking in her head: “Terri and Matt, that’s two who probably could be counted on to pass it along, and maybe that nice lady at the North County Cat Shelter would make a fitting third.” in this short paragraph she is thinking about the ways that she can pass this act of kindness on. To further prove my statement with text evidence; on page 72 the narrator says, “She took a hot bath and laid herself, coughing, to bed, knowing that whatever happened now, the garden was tended.The porch would would take a coat of paint. Tomorrow she’d make some calls, some arrangements. After that, it didn’t matter. Everything was tended, or would be by then.” these two paragraphs show why Mrs. Greenberg is such a trustworthy person. Lastly I think that Mrs. Greenberg is a person with integrity because she has so many great characteristics that are all put together to create the wonderful person that she is in this novel. I think that Mrs. Greenberg is one of my favorite characters in this book because of how kind and thoughtful she is. If I switched places with Trevor then I would want to be around Mrs. Greenberg because she is always thinking about others beside herself she is very selfless. I strongly believe that if everyone in this world was like her, then we would have a pretty amazing place to live in.

Mrs. Greenberg is a very nice, caring, and helpful person. She is always doing small things for her community and friends. Some evidence that proves this is on page 69. This passage starts of as, "She bought twelve cans of cat food and a five-pound bag of dry cat chow, for the stays who counted on her, and cherry Kool-Aid for the boy, and Richard's favorite brand of soda, and tea and skinless chicken breasts and bran cereal for herself." These are very significant. Especial because on page 70, it says, "She had to remind herself, just over retirement age." This means that she is probably retired and she is not earning anymore money. These passages are showing that she is spending her money that wont come back on helpful and kind things.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 69, Mrs. Greenberg shows in the text that at the store, she doesn't just think about herself. She thinks about others around her and almost pays it forward to others. For example, Mrs. Greenberg goes to the store and buys a little for herself, but mostly for others. Like how she bought cherry kool aid for Trevor, Richard's favorite brand of soda, and even twelve cans of cat food. The only things that she bought for herself is tea, skinless chicken breasts and bran cereal. She shows that she doesn't just believe in herself for anything and only cares about herself, but also shows that she cares about others and what they do. She is also very kind to others. She asks if everything is going good and she will always listens to others. She is the definition of a kind person.

Hi my names Owen and this is my thoughts about Mrs,Greenberg.
Mrs,Greenberg seems to be nice to animals and people . On page 69 it say, "she bought twelve cans of cat food and five bound bag of dry cat chow, For the strays". It also says, "she bought cherry Kool-aid for the boy and Richards favorite brand of soda". This proves that she is a pretty nice person this proves that she doesn't only care for herself.

# data[].attributes.body
Hey guys its Brian here, today I will be tell you about Mrs. Greeberg's actions. I feel that Mrs. Greenberg is very thoughtful, she is also altruistic because she always cares for others before herself,  for example when Trevor brings her the paper she always gives him food and Kool-aid for it, for example on page 69 it says, "she buys bought twelve cans of cat food and a five-pound bag of dry cat chow, for the strays who counted on her, and a cherry Kool-Aid for the boy, and Richard's favorite brand of soda, and tea and skinless chicken breast and bran cereal for herself."
