I think the big issue is lost at the beginning of each chapter a lot of these charters lost someone or something important to them. Kim lost her father. Wendell lost his son. Tio Juan lost his ability to communicate with other people. Sae Young lost her trust in people and her husband.

I think a big idea is isolation in Ana because she would isolate herself from the rest and just watch and she dosent have much friends

# data[].attributes.body
in every story they are trying to adapt to new life but are having trouble. Like sae young is trying to fit in after her husband died

I think the big idea is loss because everyone has lost in this book Ana has lost Kim has lost and Wendell has lost and that was just the first 3 chapters everyone in this book has lost.

I think a big idea is healing because Mr. Myles went from doing basically nothing to being up and around and that only happened when he walked past the garden like it light a spark inside him when he saw and smelt soil and plants after that he started being more responsive and he finally found something that he could do that wasn't sleeping and sitting inside all day.

a big idea in seedfolks is guilt. In the chapter Ana she saw Kim digging a whole and planting something she wanted to know what she was doing she thought that she was  hiding something bad so when went and go check when she felt really bad when it was just a bean she felt GUILT and for further things in the arden she wanted to help

Violence is a big issue in Seedfolks. An example of this is when Sae Young is robbed and attacked at her washeteria. Another example is that their apartment complex has alot of gangs and crime. And with that comes violence.

A big idea in Sae Young is community because when she faced trauma, she didn't trust people for a long time, but when she saw the garden, even though nobody talked to her, it felt good to be around people for her, the garden had the effect of helping her to gain

A big idea I saw in Curtis chapter is hope. Curtis hoped if he did all these things for Lateesha, he would get her back.

Actually, there is hope in all the chapters because Kim hoped she could honor her father by planting lima beans. Also the garden gave Sae Young the hope to be around people again.

I think one of the issues is loneliness. Sae Young was lonely after her husband died, and left her with no children. Ana was lonely because she lived alone in her one apartment brooding on unpleasant thoughts. These people all needed to heal their loneliness.

i think a big idea in the story was kindness because some one is always helping like nora she is helping mr mylyes by taking him outside in his wheelchair and wendell helped kim with her plants

A big idea was people dealing with either trauma, they were hurt, or they were sad in the past, so they discovered the garden and it had helped them. Such as Tio Juan was sad and missed his farmland in Guatemala so when he discovered the garden which was something he could do that doesn't  require speaking and gave him memories he was happy.

I think one of the big ideas is kindness.
I think this because in Wendell story he helps kims seeds by make circles around them to help the soil. In Leonas story she tries to get the smell out of the garden bye calling departments. Also in Nora's story she tries to make Mr.myles happy taking him to the garden so he can have the memories of his mothers flowers she loves helping him remember his old memories. That' Why I think one big idea is kindness.

One big idea in Seedfolks
is Isolation. How Ana has no kids and she sits and looks through the same window, And lived alone. She also does not really talk to anyone. Same for Tio Juan he does not really speak English so he is isolated and not able to communicate with anyone.

Community is the big idea of Nora because they all were working in the garden and came together under the bus stop when it was raining.

One of the issues in seedfolks is Trauma. Sae Young was harassed and she didn't want to leave her house for a while. She found the garden and started helping out. She kept going and the garden made her feel better.
-Addison

A big idea of Seedfolks is that the community is slowly coming together by making a garden without actually organizing it.

An issue in Seedfolks is that all the people are doing different things and just want to garden for example one person wanted to plant lots of lettuce in a large area without approval.

Mr. Myles
Curtis
Kim
Tio juan

i think one of the big idea in sead folks was community
to help others with their problems to build a better community and stop the vilonce to make a better place for example sae young was robbed but still desided to help others .

One of the big ideas I saw in Nora was healing.  Mr. Myles' mind seemed to improve through gardening. Actually, several chapters had to do with healing of past hurts.  Wendell and Sae Young both had traumas and felt better when they worked in the garden and connected with people.
