REASONS TO BE A MOVIE

• Reason1:Explains things
• Reason2:Funny
• Reason3:Has a lot of emotions and a moral in it

Reason1
It should be a movie because it has things that it describes but I want to see it ,but not in my mind.Like when it said Reba has red hair I wanted to see her hair and when it said Reba has a bell around he neck ,I bet it was pretty.Also I really wanted to see what shush and all the characters looked like.

Reason2
This should be turned into a movie because It is funny ,cause in the book it said Mr. Leeland almost missed the chair and when Reba wrote a thank you letter and it had funny things in it.

Reason3
The third reason is it has a lot of emotions in the book . Like when Reba lost her house and she cried and Mr.Leeland was acting like everything was alright. When Reba and sugar lost there house and Reba lost all hope and they never gave up. That is why there is a moral. That is to never give up on something important to you.
