Fish in a tree second blog

I am close to the end of the book "Fish in A tree" so far Ally is beginning to not really focus on herself and what others think about her. Mr.Daniel, who is Ally's teacher has helped and worked with Ally about her self esteem and how she is different from many students at her school. Mr.Daniel tries to explain to Ally about how good of a student she is and how she has helped others who have been blocked out of society and in school because they are different. Ally helps others to realize that there in the world for a purpose and that they should be who they are.

Sign Post:

AHA MOMENT: In the first few chapters of the book it explains how ally's trapped in a lonesome world and how she feels that she cant be herself because people judge her for how she is. After being in a class with Mr.Daniel's she notices how Mr.Daniel acts himself with other students and how he doesn't care how other students view's him. Ally notices how she should be more liker her teacher and not care what others say.

Summary 
Because its the beginning of our last quarter of Heritage Middle School, I decided to read a brand new book that my teacher bought and its called "Fish In a Tree". The book is about a girl named Ally and how she is struggling in school because teachers always see her as a joke. Ally is a sixth grader but she doesn't think before she acts. Because Ally is known as a joke she doesn't have many friends. She struggles because she feels like no one likes her and she feels that everyone cant take her serious. Her dad is in the military so she lives with her brother and her mom.


Character Traits 

Ally: Outgoing 
On page 75 Ally gives half of her flowers to Keisha because Keisha (another student) flower petals started to fall off and Mrs.Moldoon lectures her and demands her to give the flowers up. Because Ally felt bad she decided to give half of her flowers to her. Ally and Keisha then where the only girls without flowers but they were the only girls that had smiles on their faces. 

Albert: Forgiving
Albert is another main character in the book "Fish In A Tree". Albert is picked on a lot by his other peers. Shay and Jessica are kind of there own group but they enjoy picking on Albert. On page 92 Shay starts making fun Albert because Albert decided to cut his back shoe into flippers, and he wears the same clothes everyday, and because of that Shay and Jessica like to pick on him. Ally ask if he gets hurt by what the girls say and he explains to her how he doesn't care what other people think, he tells Ally that its not good to listen to those who underestimate you and how make fun of you for no reason. As Ally is listening she ends the sentence with "If I were to wish anything, it would probably be to be just to be like Albert".

Oprah Winfrey& Traits

I currently finished the book Oprah Winfrey. The book ends on how her Legacy was strong and how she impacted so many people. Oprah to me is a very courageous and strong woman. Oprah was selected 13 best awards. Oprah may be very very wealthy but she's not greedy with her money. She helps many people and provides for those who need it. According to the book on page 6 its states that "Oprah Winfrey traveled to Durban, South Africa, in 2002 to give thousand of children food, clothes, school supplies, and toys on behalf of her charity, the Oprah Winfrey Foundation." Oprah is a very helpful woman. She enjoys helping other and thats all that matters.

Traits

Oprah is a Leader. I say this because in the book "Oprah Winfrey" it states that she provided more than 1 million dollars in school supplies to eighteen thousand South African children in need. Many kids in South Africa look up to Oprah because she helped many kids. Many people look Oprah as a Leader because of all the great things she's done for them. They see that Oprah is wealthy and they recognize that she helps the poor and people who don't have much, so when kids see that they feel that anything is possible.
