There is no doubt that Miss. Strangeworth is not an easy person to deal with, let alone live with, and although her character is fictional, there are many people with the same personality. We can tell quite easily that she is a very meticulous woman, with a lot of perfectionist tendencies, a few of which are to nitpick people’s lives and make sure that even the most minute detail is up to her standards. I know of someone with these attributes and as difficult as they are to deal with, with their list of requirements to be met and their eagle-eye for detail in even the smallest things, they mean the best, and are always trying to help, despite the possible repercussions.
I think Fly Guy was very hungry, but he never stopped and he thing best thing to eat. Firstly, He never gave up even when everybody told him to leave and to get away from their food. In the book it states that the boy, girl, and old lady yelled at him and told him to leave. Even though they told him to leave he never stopped looking for food and his friend; Fly Guy is very brave not to give on something he wants. Secondly, I think he always love his best friend very much. In the book it said when he came home he started to look for his friend but he was nowhere to be found. This can infer that he does care about his friend. So, the moral of the story is that if you always work hard and never give up, you will get what you want.

There are many people that can’t have what you do. When you sit there and think about how poor you are and how much you don’t have you should really be thinking of the people that have even less.
