Because of Winn-Dixie

I have just finished reading Because of Winn-Dixie today. It was a wonderful book. Kelsey Frost got me to read it by talking about how good it was and sharing some information about it. "Because of Kesley Frost" I read Because of Winn-Dixie!

During the book it has some real emotionally parts in it, from happy to mad and from mad to sad. Some parts you are real happy, like when Opal started making friends, when Opal finally got a dog, and when she gets to hear ten things about her Mom! Then there are some parts that make you feel sad, like when she loses Winn-Dixie (I will let you read the book to found out if he ever was found) and then there is parts that makes you want to rip your hair out!!

This book is written in first person point of view because it talks using the words, I, my, me and other keywords that represent first person point of view.

Things that repeat several times are the words Because of Winn-Dixie. Just about every chapter you will see the words: BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE! Because of Winn-Dixie........................Because of Winn-Dixie....................Because of Winn-Dixie.....................................!

The author uses descriptive words to create images in your head. When she talks about the dog, you can picture a dog exactly like Winn-Dixie. When she talks about her new friends, you can just picture what they look like!

I have no idea what I am going to read next, but I will keep you updated on every book I read!
