The
character OG is very mean in the beginning and starts to change in the middle.
In the book “Can’t Get There from Here” by Todd Strasser is about homeless kids
who are on drugs and can’t do anything about it because they don’t have any
family. I am going to tell about OG’s problems and how he dealt with them, and
what it shows about him.
OG has many problems, and I am going
to tell you what they are. OG can’t behave like a normal kid, because he is
really mean. OG must have a disease, because he is really mean to his friends
who are his family now. He is mean to maybe a lot. Then he started being mean
to Maggot and Tears. He called them his “family” when he told them to leave!
That is not a family. He made fun of his family.
OG dealt with his problems by
learning to keep quiet when he is really in a mood to make fun of his family.
OG is learning to be a nice person. He is treating his family like a real
family now. He is nice to Maybe, Tears and Maggot. That is a real family. He
doesn’t make fun of his family again. It shows that he can change a lot in so
little time.
That sounds like a really interesting book, I'll look into it. The words you chose to describe OG's change from the beginning to end of the book, were powerful and helped me understand the difference. The example you used to explain how OG was in the beginning was interesting, the fact that he made fun of his friends that he called his "family".
ReplyDeleteYour main idea is very clear. I love the way you describe OG's change, his problems and than his solution to the problems. You also have a nice conclusion. The names of the characters in that book are very cool. Maybe next time you could add a quote. Awesome!
