Bidding You Adieu

Thank you Ally for the last 2 months with you. I hope that Mr.Daniels can help you get through dyslexia and be better at reading. The thing that I like about you was that you stood up for your friends and worked hard to be able to read, and you helped your brother, Travis, out too.

In the future I hope you`ll be a great artist and publish your "Book of Impossible Things".

Sincerely, Donghwa

FIAT (Missed Plot Events)

11/23/2015

Mrs. Silver (Principal) was asking Ally if she could read or not which was seen by Shay who was then bullying her. The book then introduced Ally's older brother, Travis. Then at Christmas, her class sang with flowers but Keisha`s (future friend) were taken away by teachers because she was breaking off pieces of her bouquet accidentally. But Ally saw this and gave Keisha half of her flowers, causing them to both have no flowers but be friends. After that, Ally learnt of Keisha`s love of cooking. Then one day, Shay and Jessica invited Ally to her table who was then pressured into bullying Albert for havong the back of his shoe cut off and wearing the same shirt everyday. Ally was really bad though, for making fun of Albert, so she apologized. Mr.Daniels then assigned the class into 4 groups, to figure out what were in some "mystery boxes". During guessing what's in the last box, Ally figured out that Mr.Daniels put 2 glue sticks tied together and attached to the sides of the box. So it couldn't hit 2 sides of the box when shaken, which over a hundred kids couldn't figure out. After, Travis got a new car, which was coloured like a pickle. So when they rode in it, unfortunately, Shay saw it when they were driving it. Then the class went to a place where there were lots of butterflies, but when a butterfly was in her hand, she closed too tightly and hurt it's wings. After that, Ally overheard Shay charging Jessica for the friendship bracelets. The next day, Mr.Daniels was giving an award for the best poem, which Ally won, leading her to believe she got a "pity" award and ran into a bathroom stall. Luckily, Keisha managed to convince her that it wasn't a "pity" award. After school the very next day, Mr.Daniels asked her if she wanted to play chess for no homework, which Ally was suspicious of. They went to a museum, where Ally ran out because she was made fun of, where she confessed to Mr.Daniels about the fact that she can't read. A few days later, Ally's mom told Ally that they're going to video chat with their dad, who's in the military. At school, Ally and her class were solving a riddle, which Ally got the answer to. Then the class had an election. Where Shay ran, and elected Ally who was very surprised. But what surprised her even more was that she won! It was the revealed why albert wears the same "Flint" shirt every day. And at the end of the book, Travis started getting help from Mr.Daniels just like Ally.

I want this novel (Fish In A Tree) to end by Shay confessing why she's so mean or finding out why. I'd also want to find out all the secrets and backstory behind a character, like Travis who is doing bad in school. Another thing I would prefer is Albert standing up those kids who keep beating him up before the novel end, having a happy ending to the book leaving everything explained instead of ending with half my questions unanswered.

If I could have lunch with any it would be Shay because I would ask her why she`s so mean to Ally and why she keeps bullying her. Also that she should just forgive and forget about when Ally ate her cake 3 YEARS ago.

I am a fish in a tree because sometimes when my friends talk without me, I can`t relate because I probably don`t know or have what they`re talking about.

In the first chapter, the main character (Ally Nickerson) is a kid with a disability called dyslexia which makes letters very hard to read. She is picked on often for being "dumb" because she can't read and no one knows she has dyslexia. During her teacher Mrs. Hall's baby shower, Ally gave her a sympathy card. Than Shay and Jessica, started picking on her, which caused Keisha, to protect Ally. Ally then went to the principal's office and the principal asked her if she could read, which of course she said she could. After that, she went to the restaurant where her mother worked. But Shay and her "sidekick" Jessica showed up there and Ally's mum thought they were her friends.

This book connects to me because we both go to school.

Settings: school, class.
Mood: Down (blue zone), upset.
Possible Novel Themes: Living with a learning disability.
Predictions: Ally is a troubled kid who possibly has dyslexia who avoids doing work by getting in trouble because whenever she looks at letters, they jump out of the page and dance around the room. Until she meets Mr. Daniels who looks past the troublemaker exterior and helps her do her work. After Mr.Daniels helps her, she makes some great friends.
