GROW UP TO BE A WISEC AND GOOD PERSON

  • Something I learned to grow up and be a wise and good person was reading the Wednesday wars.
  • The main lesson of the book is probably Mrs. Baker's quote "Learn  everything  you  can…and  use  all  that  you  have  learned  to  grow  up  and  be  a  wise  and  good  ‘person.’"
  • If you follow this quote for the rest of your life then you will have a happy and successful life.

HOLLING'S WORST MONTH

  • Holling's worst month was October.
  • In October Holling let out both Sycorax and Caliban, which caused him many problems throughout the year.
  • They ran over his foot, they ate his cream puffs, and they chased him around the school later in the book.

HOLLING'S BEST MONTH

  • Holling's best month was April
  • The event that made it the best month was winning the track meet. This leads to him getting a savings bond (which he uses later to get his sister home) and Meryl Lee kissed him after he won.

HOLLING'S BIGGEST "WAR"

  • The war that changed Holling the most was against his sister and trying to get guts.
  • This changed him the most because he got guts and realized Mrs. Baker didn't really hate him, he got guts and stood up to his father, and he got guts and reunited himself with his sister because he had the guts to do so.

GRADE OF THE YEAR

  • I think Holling would give his seventh grade year a B.
  • Overall the year was a good year for him. In my report card there were a few lower grades but mostly they were Bs.
  • I think Holling can agree with my report car because he tells the story through his eyes so that is how we see it and how I graded his year so I think he would give it a B.

HOLLING'S GUTSIEST THING

  • The gutsiest thing Holling does in the novel is stand up to his father.
  • After Danny's Bar Mitzfah Holling tells his father that he didn't want to be forced into being an architect and he would choose what happens in his own life.
  • So far he had been timid in front of his father without guts and now facing the consequences in the face he had guts to stand up to his father.

A TEACHER THAT HELPED ME SUCCEED

  • This teacher was Mrs. Herbert in the first grade.
  • She is the teacher that helped start my current love for reading.
  • Being able to read so well and liking to read has helped me a lot throughout school, one of these things is being able to understand reading without having to go to in depth with taking notes and other means of reminders unless. I have to I'm able to understand the text so well because I started to love reading at a young age.
