Fish in a tree (summary&conflict)BLOG#8

So far in my book we met Ally. In my last blog i talk about how she can't read very well. Later in the book it turns out she is dyslexia and her new substitute teacher, Mr.Daniel is helping her. He always tells her how good of a student she is is and different is better than being normal. Even though she is tired of being called "slow" and "loser" but she's afraid to ask for help. Her and her two other best -friends have been helping her out too. This book takes place in the present and she lives in a small town.  Is Ally going to get better with her reading skills?


There are many conflicts in my book but one that really stood out was Internal conflict,man Vs self. Ally has to deal with dyslexia which means she can't read well and everybody is putting pressure on her and telling her she will never read normally. She tells everybody that she can and will. For example in the book she says to her classmates, " Everybody is smart in different ways. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will live its life believing its stupid." This quote shows me that if you keep telling someone that they can't do it they will believe that they can't do it. This quote is also important because it shows how she knows that she can do it and she is not going to listen to what other people have to say. If she believes she can she will.
