“But the next time Nick looked up, he saw Mrs Granger sneaking a look at her watch. Eighteen minutes gone.” (Ch 5, p. 26)

Explanation:
Nick has control over the lesson time in class and Mrs Granger is not able to stop him from wasting time. This is because he is following Mrs Granger’s instructions to present an oral report, but is taking more time than Mrs Granger wanted. This spoils Mrs Granger’s plans for the class.

In my opinion, I think that a winner must be fair, being hardworking, being resilient and being firm. A winner has to work for the prize that they want, not just beg for it. And a winner is also the first, second or third in my personal opinion. Being first, second or third means being on a podium sometimes, so i feel that being on a podium shows that your a winner.

"She was small, as teachers go. There were even some fifth graders who were taller. But Mrs Granger seemed like a giant. It was her eyes that did it. They were dark gray, and if she turned them on full power, they could make you feel like a speck of dust." Chapter 2, page 7


Explanation:
Even though Mrs Granger was small in size and some fifth graders were taller than her, her eyes could make her look like the boss. This shows that she has control over all students and eventually, she will emerge as the winner!]]> 2022-09-15 06:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mrswongtt/frindle2/wish/2297743832 https://padlet.com/mrswongtt/frindle2/wish/2297762780 Evidence
"Everyone was sure that Mrs Granger had X-ray vision. Do not even think of chewing a piece of gum within fifty feet of her. If you did Mrs Granger would see you and catch you and make you stick the gum onto a bright yellow index card. Then, she would safety-pin the card to the front of your shirt and you have to wear it for the rest of the school day. After that, you had to take it home and have your Mom or Dad sign the card, and bring it back to Mrs Granger the next day." Chapter 2, page 7-8


Explanation
This shows that she has authority over all the students, even if she does not teach them. They will reach fifth grade in the end anyways. She will scare them out of their wits. Even though she does not scold them, their parents will scold them, so it doesn't really matter.]]> 2022-09-15 07:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mrswongtt/frindle2/wish/2297762780 https://padlet.com/mrswongtt/frindle2/wish/2297767469 Evidence
''Anyone who is heard using the word Frindle instead of the word pen will stay after school and write this sentence one hundred times: I am writing this punishment with a pen. -- Mrs Granger" Chapter 8, page 43



Explanation:
This shows that even though she is not the principal or the form teacher of all the students writing punishments, she can control them. This includes controlling the bus drivers and parents too.]]> 2022-09-15 07:10:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mrswongtt/frindle2/wish/2297767469 https://padlet.com/mrswongtt/frindle2/wish/2297768908 Point 1 "But somehow I think I have a small part to play in this drama, and I have chosen to be the villain. Every good story needs a bad guy, don't you think?
So someday, I will be asking you to forgive me, and I hope you will." (chapter 15 page 99)
Explanation:
Mrs. Granger admitted that she was a bad guy which means she let Nick win. She even asked for forgiveness.

"I mean, is there really any harm in the children making up a funny word and saying it? Does there have to be a rule that a word like this cannot be used?' " (chapter 9 page 52)."It was Mr. Allen's turn to look face to face. He was lost. "Yes, well sure...I __I guess so...I mean, it's not like vandalism or stealing or something like that..."(chapter 9 page 53) 

Explanation
 Nobody can stop Nick for changing a word. It is harmless and will not hurt anyone for that. The teacher cannot stop him and complain it to the police or anyone else. It is just a word.

"Children need to understand that there are rules about words and language, and that those rules have a history that makes sense.  And to pretend that a perfectly good English word can be replaced by a silly made-up word just for the fun of it, well, it's not something I was ready to stand by and watch without a fight." Chapter 11, page 74


Explanation
This shows that Mrs Granger is more than prepared to fight, and her points are true. Nick is really wrong to invent a word that is silly and can lead to a lot of problems such as: Other children following Nick and leading English language to be forgotten. Mrs Granger is actually representing people who have a passion for English unlike Nick,  who just want to oppose/ have revenge against Mrs Granger.]]> 2022-09-15 07:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mrswongtt/frindle2/wish/2297793275 https://padlet.com/mrswongtt/frindle2/wish/2297797093 Point 3''If you are reading this letter, it means that the word Frindle has been added to  the dictionary. Congratulations." (chapter 15 page 98)

Explaination 
Mrs Granger surrendered and if the Mrs granger surrender, means Nick won. And she also congratulated Nick for his victory. And the word frindle is added to the dictionary, that means Nick won as the world allowed the word frindle.]]> 2022-09-15 07:31:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mrswongtt/frindle2/wish/2297797093 https://padlet.com/mrswongtt/frindle2/wish/2302467584 Evidence:
" He had heard all about her, and he had seen fifth graders in the library last year, noses stuck in their dictionaries, frantically trying to finish their vocabulary sheets before English class." Chapter 2, page 11-12
Explanation:
The students are afraid of Mrs Granger and they are not brave enough to misbehave and don't do homework. This shows that Mrs Granger has authority over students and many are scared of her and is the true winner.]]> 2022-09-19 06:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mrswongtt/frindle2/wish/2302467584
