Meeting #4

Hello! I'm Tudor Danila and I was the illustrator for my literature circle this week. We are reading "Pictures of Hollis Woods" by Patricia Reilly Giff and we read from page 119 till the end of the book and that is page 166. This is my drawing:

My picture shows a part from the Eleventh Picture of the book, when Hollis was climbing the mountain next to the house. The paragraph from the book that describes this is the following: "And then I began to climb. It was hot work; I draped the sweater over a tree limb. After a while I could feel the pull in my ankles, the rub of my sneakers against my heels. I stopped at the halfway point to look down at the house, the snake of the river, and I could see Steven, a tiny figure in a rowboat." (page 120, paragraph 4).

I chose to draw this because I liked that Hollis didn't gave up on her dream. From the first day she got there she wanted to climb that mountain and there she was, in the last day, having 2 options: 1-going fishing with Steven, her step-brother or achieve her dream: climb that mountain. She chose the second on and left Steven fishing alone.  I really liked that she follow her dream and work hard and left somethings behind to achieve it. I think that's what all of us should do if we want to achieve our goals.

Thank you for reading and hoped you enjoyed!

P.S. Sorry for the drawing. I'm not such a great artist.
