Anyways, the world has it’s own twists and turns you may never expect, some bad and some good.

As the class continues their journey, they spy all of the clouds the pair had previously created. This leads me to believe that the theme and symbolism of this book was: imagination can be anywhere and wonder will find it’s way into your life.

    I can feel the heat rising up into my cheeks and beads of sweat forming just at my hairline. Impulsively, I go to wipe them away with the back of my hand only to find there is none to be swept off.
