Starch works hard was because she had saved a baby panther. On Pg 271, Chapter 20, Mrs. Starch said that, “No, I haven't gone home since the fire.” During that time she was taking care of the baby panther. When Mrs. Starch went back into the fire, she freaked and screamed. Then Twilly, a person who loves the outdoors, comes and saves Mrs. Starch. On Pg 266, Chapter 20, Mrs. Starch said,”He grabs my hand and practically drags all the way to this camp. Doesn't ask who I am, or even if I'm hurt. All he says is: ‘I need your help.” Twilly had found a baby panther and wanted Mrs. Starch to take care of it so that he could find the mother panther. I think that Mrs. Starch helps Twilly find the mother panther because she cares about endangered animals, and panthers are considered endangered animals in Florida. If she helps save the baby panther, then she would be helping endangered animals, which she wanted to do in the first

The issue of emotion that comes from these two is there is always going to be students that do not try hard enough to succeed in having a better education for themselves. More of the higher percentage are girls that are successful and boys are not so successful. She explains that because of this higher percentage, that the highly successful students will get more attention from teachers, parents, and

I don’t think that I could, but that is what the main character of Hatchet, 13 year old Brian Robeson, had to do in order for there to be any chance to get to go home. Brian changed a lot throughout the story, mostly in good ways.

He got attacked by a vicious moose, and was hit by a tornado in the same day, and normally that would have made him want to end it all, but the new Brian did not give up, and restarted everything

The Power of an Author Authors have the ability justify the worst actions. Authors have a way of romanticizing certain situations in order to convey a specific message. A good author has power to influence the reader into believing whatever it is the author wants.

She explains how her son was just pushed through school. “Our youngest, a world-class charmer, did litter to develop his intellectual talent but always got by” (559).
