One night she sees an old woman walking down the cold and harsh street and she was holding a bag which was very full, the girl assumes that the bag is full of money and food. The girl tries to snatch the bag from the old woman but she kept a grip, she said do you promise to plant them? The girl said yes only for the bag which she thought had food and money. When she opens the bag, the girl finds out what the old woman meant, in the bag there were acorns. The girl keeps her promise by planting them, she plants them and they grow, the city gets more color and brightens up, so she goes to other miserable cities and plants the remainders, and other people join in. 

The main message: The main message in this book was to keep your promises and be an inspiration  

Review the text: Our favorite part of the story was when the girl planted the acorns.
We like the story because it was inspirational.
The characters where really sad and depressed.
You should read this book because it teaches you that theirs always hope.]]> 2016-09-14 16:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/Mslewis/thepromise/wish/123831634 https://padlet.com/Mslewis/thepromise/wish/123831926 Summary 
There was a girl who lived in a community where the whole city was hard, angry and negative. One day the girl was stealing from a old lady who had a bag full of acorns but she thought it was money or food. Then the old lady made a promise to plant these but  she thought it was something else. After opening the bag she saw acorns she was happy and colourful. So the next day she thought of planting the acorns around the city and fulfill the promise. Then when the plants started to grow the community started to change and everyone was smiling, laughing, and happy, the girl went city to city planting those acorns which changed those cities. 

Main message
We think the main message is to have a positive attitude towards your community because in the book when she has those acorns she started to change and has a positive attitude, also she changes the cities in a positive way.

Our favourite part of the book was when she plants those acorns and changes everybody's persepective. We like the book because it inspiring and shows how to be positive. Also shows how to help others to be postive.The character in this book was very mean and negative at a point, but then she got  positive and happy. After she helped other to because positive.This character is very inspiring for everyone in the community.

1. In the story a girl that was VERY  salty about how the world is going and had a VERY bad perspective of her society. The girl wanted a bag that she saw was very full but little did she know that it had acorns. She tried to snatch the bag away from the lady but the lady had a firm grip. The lady said that if you want the bag you have to make a promise that you will plant what is in this bag. The girl promised her and said that she will plant it.The next day she started to plant what was in the bag. She found a ton of acorns in the bag. She planted so many that the whole city was wowed by the greenery of the trees she planted.  She brought brightness to the city and changed a lot of things.

2. The main message of this book is that " What goes around come around." We think that because at first she stole a bag from a lady and eventually another person stole the bag from her, and that is why we think that.

-We think that the best part of the book was when she gave the bag to the little thief and told him to promise to plant what was in the bag.

-We loved the book ! Because it had a very good and important main message AKA main idea

- We Think that the old lady was wise and the girl just need something new in her life to give her the spark to see the world differently.

-We think that you should read this book because it teaches people a good life lesson and it has an amazing  main message which may help you in life.]]> 2016-09-14 16:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/Mslewis/thepromise/wish/123831929 https://padlet.com/Mslewis/thepromise/wish/123832390 By: TARANJOT &  SHIVAM

 The story was about a girl in a city where it was dull, and dirty. She was not wealthy, and stole from  others. One day the girl saw a really nice purse and  thought of stealing the purse. She thought there was a lot of money and really nice food to eat in the purse. When she stole it there was only acorns in it. So then she planted the acorns everywhere around the city, then after she started seeing a little green. Then after a few days she saw trees grow. 
 After that she went to different city's and planted acorns everywhere.

Main Message: 
The main message is never steal from others because you can always do good in other ways.

Review:

Are favourite part is when she planted the acorns because she is doing good in the world.

Are opinion of the person is she did good in the world by doing something bad that is not a good thing.

You should read this book because it has a good main message.

There was a girl who was salty and she lived in a neighborhood that was old and dull. Her perspective of it was negative. 

She wanted to steal from an old lady who had a bag. She assumed the bag would help her needs. 

The Problem was that the lady wouldn't  let go of the bag unless the girl made a promise. 

So then she accepted the promise. She agreed to plant all the seeds that were in the bag. 

Then she planted seeds in her community and made it light up with joy. Her saltiness became happiness and she left her neighborhood to go all around the world  planting seeds of joy. 

The main message of the story is to look at the positive because there is always a way to change things for the better

Our favorite part of this was when she began planting seeds because she started to become grateful. 

We think she is well developed because the story shows how she gets her opinion changed. 

We like the book because it has a valuable lesson.

The story was about a little girl who lived in a city where everything was hard she was stealing stuff to help her survive. (I think.) She saw a lady with a big fat purse so she tried to steal the purse while she was trying to steal the purse the lady said can you keep a promise and bury what's inside this bag. So, she opened the bag to see what was in there and saw acorns. So, she kept the promise and buried the acorns when other people saw her planting the acorns they got into planting too so she went all over the world planting the acorns so other people around the world started planting plants too!]]> 2016-09-14 16:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/Mslewis/thepromise/wish/123836744 https://padlet.com/Mslewis/thepromise/wish/123837341 The was a girl who lived in a mean,ugly city. The streets were dusty and dry, just like her. ]]> 2016-09-14 16:34:43 UTC https://padlet.com/Mslewis/thepromise/wish/123837341 https://padlet.com/Mslewis/thepromise/wish/123837486 1)A girl in the story thought her community was dull.One day she stole a lady's purse,she thought the purse was filled with goodies but in order to get the bag she had to keep a promise to plant them.She took the bag and planted the acorns and made the community beautiful.
2)We think the main message is make nothing something meaning make something old new and bright.The book made us understand because first the community was all dull with no trees and now it's bright and full of trees.
Review:We think it's a good book because it has a good message but the setting and characters are not exciting.The character was open about her feelings and opinions.
Naomi and Harshdip ]]> 2016-09-14 16:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/Mslewis/thepromise/wish/123837486 https://padlet.com/Mslewis/thepromise/wish/123838746 There was a girl who lived in a mean, ugly, cruel city. People in that city grew to be just like it. She lived by stealing. One night, there was a old lady down a dark street. He bag was fat and full so the girl snatched it away from her and ran far into the woods. In the bag was a bunch of acorns. Once she saw what was in the bag, her heart changed. She forgot about stealing, and kept a promise to never steal again. Everything/people changed for the better. 

Our favourite part of the book was when everything changed for the better. 

2: The main message of the book is always think of the better and not let the negative come in your way.

 This book was okay to us. This book didn't really stand out to us and We have read better books. We like to read happy  books with good messages. This was not a very happy book. 

Our opinion of the main character is good. She did an amazing thing by making a promise to never steal again. 

You should read this book if you like to read books with good messages because this book definitely had one.
