Ashley's first post

Hi this is ashley Corwin. Here are some facts about me. I am a huge animal lover. I completly support all animal rights. I honestly think we need more of them. Also my birthdays next month! I was a cheerleader in high school and I enjoy getting to know knew people. I am from Marion Ohio. I have one brother. I have a cat, a dog and two fish.

In chapter 2 you learned several new things about Jonathan himself. You learn that he is very worried about his father and his health. This is intresting to me because he opens up to how he was feeling while away from home. It musthad been a difficult time to stay and study the kids while woorying for his father. I also found it intresting that when there was a stray injured dog,they would drive to the end of the city and let them lose. most likely to die. I found it disturbing personally because I care for animals, but I also know times are rough and they had no other choice. A quote I liked from the book was when Jonathan said "There's a great deal of this automatic and insightful kindness in the hearts of many of these children who have been acquainted with unusual degrees of loss and sorrowby the time they're eight or nine years old. They show it with their eyes and with their words, and rapid touches of their hands, and, when it's absolutely needed, with their arms wrapped tight around eachother. They're good at being silly, but they're also good at being gentle."This is located on page 27.
