I'm not sure what their characteristics are. Meryl Lee, in particular. I got a lot of feelings and troubles in her family and the people around her, but there wasn't a lot of information on herself. The exception being she likes Holling, and that she's sensitive about her family problems.]]> 2016-10-07 16:12:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dodd8/wednesdaywars/wish/129174891 https://padlet.com/dodd8/wednesdaywars/wish/129175273 The book is pretty weird but fun!]]> 2016-10-07 16:13:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dodd8/wednesdaywars/wish/129175273 https://padlet.com/dodd8/wednesdaywars/wish/129175330 I think Holling has a lot going on in his life, but he needs to put himself in other people's shoes and really think about what they are going through.]]> 2016-10-07 16:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dodd8/wednesdaywars/wish/129175330 https://padlet.com/dodd8/wednesdaywars/wish/129175624 I feel that Holling's family isn't perfect by any means, everyone has their flaws which makes theis book interesting and more realistic.

I think that holling is in a tight spot right now hecause in his life there are so many ups and downs that he has to deal with. Some examples are, his conflict with Ms. Baker, his scene in the shakespear play, and his Mickey Mantel memory. But he also has some good memories like meeting joe pepittone and saving his sisster.]]> 2016-10-07 18:07:32 UTC https://padlet.com/dodd8/wednesdaywars/wish/129213533 https://padlet.com/dodd8/wednesdaywars/wish/129213536 I like this book.
