MORE DECKS TO EXPLORE
PRESENTATION OUTLINE
One thing that I have learned in my 7th grade year that will make me grow up to be a wise and good person is that I'm going to make mistakes, but how I fix them is more important than the problem itself. I think this is true because mistakes will happen and how I learn from them can prevent future mistakes.

Holling's worst month was October because Sycorax and Caliban both got out of their cage which then leads to further conflict with the rats later in the story.

The war that changed Holling the most was the war between him and his father. At Danny's bar mitzvah, Holling stood up to his dad that was a war because the father always thought that he was right

The grade I would give Holling's 7th grade year would be a B. I gave Holling a B because he had a year comprised of both unfortunate and positive things. The negative ones included, the multiple, cream puff incidents, not getting Mickey Mantle's autograph, his sister running away to Claifornia, and many challenges at home. However, there were many positive things, too. For instance, getting to meet two of his baseball idols, bringing his sister back home with his saving bond, and kissing Meryl Lee.

The gutsiest thing Holling did in the novel was stand up to his father in June. After Danny's bar mitzvah, Mr. Hoodhood said to Holling, "I bet you're glad you don't have to go through something like that." This wasn't just rude to Danny but it also was saying Mr. Hoodhood didn't find the bar mitzvah fun and didn't believe that's how you become a man. Holling stood up to his father by saying yes that is how you can become come a man.

My favorite and most influential teacher I've had is Ms. Lund, my third grade teacher. She was very helpful in teaching us life lessons as well as the curriculum. Even though Ms. Lund was sometimes strict to show us right from wrong, she also made learning fun so we would enjoy her class. This was just like Mrs. Baker was to Holling.
