Literary Essay Self-Reflection

The thing that I was most proud of was making a lot a quotes. Another thing that I was proud of is that I made a lot of comments about the book and making them in to real life moments. I also did that very well. I think so because I kept getting the book and taking things from the book and in to my essay.

  One thing that was hard was that I was writing about the book but it wouldn't prove anything. Like when to the teacher. She said that I am writing about the book but not really explaining it very well. But I did enjoy getting to type my essay because I love computers.

Change is Good

Change can be a good thing. Like when you move and get your first friend. Or if you’re homeless and someone gives you a home. That’s what Opal and Winn-Dixie did for each other in Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate Dicamillo. Opal and Winn-Dixie changed each other’s lives.

Winn-Dixie was Opal’s first friend. Like in the rain Opal told the Preacher “Winn-Dixie’s out there somewhere. We can’t leave him.” If Opal wasn’t Winn-Dixie’s friend she wouldn’t have said that.  That is one of the many things Winn-Dixie did for Opal. You know Winn-Dixie changed Opal’s life since Winn-Dixie helped Opal get friend Here’s why, she never would have met Otis if she didn’t have the by a leash. Otis had an impact because he taught her things, like not to go to jail. Another reason why is, she wouldn’t have met Gloria if Winn-Dixie hadn’t ran in. Gloria had an impact since she told Opal friends say they want to be in different ways. Then Opal became friends with Dunlap and Stevie. There are many more ways.

  Winn-Dixie would have been taken to the Pound. Opal was there and took in a homeless dog, but if she wasn’t they would have taken him to the pound. That isn’t the worst part, if Opal wasn’t there and Winn-Dixie escaped, Winn-Dixie would be homeless. He also would have no food.

  Any kind of person or animal can change your life. Winn-Dixie helped Opal get friend and Winn-Dixie and Opals friends filled her up. I know since when she talked to her mom or the tree Opal said she’s better now and that she has friends. As I look back when Aidan came he filled me up. Aidan was my first real friend, here’s why, my other friends took advantage of me. It felt bad to know my friends liked me because I have a new toy.
