Because of Winn-Dixie Summary
This story was mostly about Opal. Opal wants her friends and mom back. In this story she learned an important lesson that teaches you to always be aware of someone's pathological fear or else you might lose them forever. She also learned that you can not hold onto things that want to go.
It all started when Opal goes to Winn-Dixie Store and sees a stray dog. It was racing around in the store knocking down produce and having the time of his life. Then he jumps on the manager and the manager threatens to call the pound. Opal speaks up and says “that’s my dog!”
During the summer Opal and Winn-Dixie do many things together. Their daily routine is they Go down to Gertrude’s Pet Store and Gertrude likes Winn-Dixie so Opal gets a job. Sweetie Pie Thomas also likes Winn-Dixie so she invites them to her birthday party. “The theme is pink!” Later that summer Opal makes buddies with Miss. Franny Block and Gloria Dump because they also like Winn-Dixie.
In the end Opal is reading a book when she gets a plan about having a barbecue and everyone is invited. …show more content…
This was my favorite part because it is hilarious how Miss Franny thought Winn-Dixie was a bear. The most important character in the story is Winn-Dixie because without him Opal would not have friends, a job, and she would not have known 10 things about her mom. An important scene in the text is when Opal has the barbecue. It is an important scene because she is actually going to be more mindful about Winn-Dixie after he gets lost in the rain. And we all know his pathological fear is thunderstorms! If I could ask a question to Kate DiCamillo it would probably be if the mom was ever going to come back. I would ask that because Opal really misses her a lot. I would rate this story a B because it good story, but it could be a little more exciting. Overall,
