Charger Trail was a great experience. We worked together and tried to figure out difficult puzzles such as hogs call, the maze, and marble challenge. I cheered my friends on and thought of new ideas for figuring out hard problems. My favorite game was the maze. I helped show people which square to go in and cheered people on when they finished. It was frustrating when people messed up because everyone had to start over, but it happens. I think I was very successful on both a friend and a team member.

Seedfolks
Anna is one of my favorite characters in the book Seedfolks. I like her because she is curious , she is funny, and she is nice to Wendell. I think she is curious about what everyone was doing. She was wondering what Kim was doing and she always wants to know what people are doing. I think she is funny because she thought that Kim a little girl was barring drugs. I think it is funny that she is a stalker, Anna looks out the window all the time. In the book Anna says “why do I need T.V when I have forty-eight apartments to watch.” Anna is a nice women, she is always talking to Wendell even though he is a sad and depresses man. Anna tells Wendell about everything. She told him about the garden and how she saw a little girl planting. Anna tells Wendell to water the plants, when Wendell goes to water Kim’s plants he feels attached and wants to take good care of the garden. Anna is curious funny and nice and she is my favorite character.
