Example from Elizabeth L. posted on www.thespaghettibookclub.org Because of Winn Dixie Have you ever moved or suddenly felt as if you were far away from where you belonged? In "Because of Winn-Dixie" by Kate DiCamillo, Opal feels this way. She just moved from Watley, Florida to Naomi Florida, and feels that nobody wants to be her friend. Then one day, this all changes when she is sent to the store to get a box of macaroni-and-cheese, some rice,and two tomatoes. Instead of these items, Opal comes home with a new friend. His name is Winn Dixie and he is a dog. Throughout the story, Opal's friend helps her make more and more friends. As Opal gets to know her friends better, she discovers that deep down inside, they are sad for something, too. At one point, Opal's friends are having a get-to-know each other party, when they notice that Winn-Dixie is missing. Will Opal find Winn-Dixie or is he gone for good?
