Annabelle usually lets her brothers run off ahead of her on the walk to school. However, with Betty's threats of trying to hurt her brothers Annabelle is keeping up with them. In the text Annabelle states " When my brothers ran off ahead of me the next morning, I ran too and kept them close to me-and me close to them." When she says this Annabelle is displaying great care for her brothers because rather than letting Betty hurt her brothers she is trying hard to protect them.

I notice that the author is very good at creating a vivid image in your mind. In the text she Annabelle states" ... black oilcloth coat and his black boots, long black hair and beard, and always three long guns slung across his back." This sentence puts a very vivid image in your mind of what Toby looks like. It almost makes you a little afraid of Toby because of the way the author describes him. Also the imagery is so vivid that it makes it seem like Toby is in your backyard walking with his long black oilcloth coat and guns slung across his back.

While Toby does not show his thankfulness for Annabelle he does show it though his actions. In the text it states "where Toby came from, I don't know." This shows that while he will not verbally say thank you to Annabelle he will try and help her with her struggles. Much like how Annabelle helps Toby by giving him food.

From the text I can infer that the main character is selfless. In the text she states "I wasn't happy about the situation, but I was glad that Betty had chosen to devil me instead of Ruth, who was smaller than I was and dainty. And I had brothers who had inflicted worse upon me, while Ruth had none." In this case the narrator is proving my inference correct because she is saying she would herself deal with the pain, rather than Ruth because she has experienced worse at home.

At home Betty acts completely different compared to how she acts at school. In the text Mrs. Glengarry states, Annabelle. Betty always says such nice things about you. Maybe you could come over and play when she's well." This means that while Betty is a bully at school she tries to cover up her tracks at home because she knows that what she is doing is wrong. In other words she tries to be the good girl when she's at home but at school she does whatever she wants.

"I prayed for scars on the hands that had killed that harmless bird. And I wasn't sorry that I did." I notice Annabelle has a lot of anger towards Betty, and wishes harm on her. Her anger seems to be pretty extreme, but that's how people act when they are mad sometimes. After all, she had just killed an animal.

"Nobody's going to take your things" "You don't need to hide them." I wonder why the mom said that. Maybe something happened in the past that would lead Annabelle to believe someone would take her things.

"And then there were those who had come home from the first big war so shaken, so silent, that they didn't seem to know who they were any longer or where they belonged." I feel like this might have a big impact on some readers. It might remind the reader of something that happened to them and they can relate to it. Losing yourself sounds tragic.

The description of Toby is very descriptive, I think he will be someone important that contributes to the story.

"By afternoon recess, Betty was scratching her neck. By the time school let out, a rash had broken out across one cheek." Just by reading that, I can infer Annabelle finds pleasure in this happening after Betty had killed the quail.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised by the quail scene because it was kinda out of nowhere. It was also very descriptive throughout the whole thing. from the sound it was making to the way that Betty was holding it it was very detailed. I was also surprised when Toby came out of nowhere and diffused the situation.

Considering that all the boys in the school listen to Andy some might consider him sort of the boss around the school. No one has probobly ever talk back to him or have an argument with him except for Betty. According to Annabelle, " By now, Andy looks so baffled that I concluded no girl girl had ever spoken to his this way. Not even his ma." Andy was most definitely shocked that a girl would talk to him like this. In my mind I think that this situation made Andy gain some respect for Betty even though this is their first time meeting. This is also why I think Andy even gave Betty the seat in the first place aswell. If Betty hadn't surprised Andy in the way she did he probobly wouldn't have gotten up and would have told her to sit somewhere else.

By what we are told about Betty I can infer what she will do throughout the story. I think that Betty will continue to be rude to the main character throughout the story. Her behavior could also escalate. She could go from near harmless pranks to violence. I also wonder what the main character would do if Betty does something to Ruth considering how much she cares about her as her friend.

I am noticing that Wolk is very descriptive about what the characters look like and what the main character is thinking. The text states " I sometimes pictured him huddled in a trench while a thousand German soldiers ran around topside with bayonets fixed and spikes on their helmets and blood lust in their eyes." Wolk is very good at putting a image in your head. for example you can imagine what it must feel like to be in the situation with the soldiers. She also describes every detail about the characters. It is very easy to just imagine someone like Toby tall with a big coat, long dark hair and a beard with guns on his back because of how Wolk details them.

Now Annabelle realizes that her and Betty are not so dissimilar. She has realized the contents of their room are very similar and they might have more in common then she might think. If Betty says that Annabelle is rich than that means either Betty is also rich or Annabelle is poorer than she might think.

SHE prayed for a chicken that is very confusing to me why would you pray that a bird will be OK I understand that you might not completely understand death but its gonna happen so maybe don´t pray for a dead chicken you literally said that you herd the bones crack.

# data[].attributes.body
This just shows how mean she is she killed the quail and after they where saying how nice it was and very descriptive even when it said that I hear the bones snap!

I feel bad that she had to Cary a burden like she had to like it said in the prologue and she said that she carried the burden the best that she could and that makes me feel bad for her and I thing that the burden might be the person who is bullying her.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like wolk is relating the girl to pain and how it shows that she is a normal human and that she feels pain to shows that she can get along to the reader so that she almost seems like a real person.

"It was in front of the one I shared with Ruth, close enough so that, within a couple of days, I  had spitballs clinging to my hair" Annabelle had to put up with the bullying Betty cause on her. She was glad to take a hit for her friend Ruth so she put up with it which brakes my heart. Betty is a very horrible Honorable girl. Betty was being rude by putting spitballs in Annebelles hair because they are nasty and they don't come out of hair easily, and it's just plane mean too.

I think that it would be very scary not knowing anything and being alive after a big war that would freak me out because I wound be able to live with my self because knowing all of those people died is scary I dont think I could live with myself literaly

Anne bell is clumsy and she is one to hide things she does not want people to see. On page 4 it says "I had buried the pieces of broken china beyond the kitchen garden" Annabelle hid what she broke from her mother because she did not want her to know she had broken her gift.

"Sometimes I woke up in the morning to my Mother screaming at a fox that dug it's way into the hen house." I can only imagine waking up to that in the morning. I know sometimes I wake to my Mother yelling and it's supper annoying because I feel sleepy and normally want to sleep more.

"I couldn't imagine the place without six or seven running around" That's a lot of dogs to have at a time. Even though this may be a farm this is a lot to have at one time and to take care of at one time.

"The snake kept an imprint on his boot, like it was made of clay" That's nasty and sad. Even though the snake was poisonous it was still an animal and the fact that some of the snake was left on his boots is gross.

" 'Copperheads are poisonous' I said 'that's different. 'Not to the Snake, it isn't' he'd said. 'Or to the God who made it." Even though the snake was poisonous it was still a live animal with a soul and feelings. The snake was just trying to defend itself to survive.
