Holly the Eco Warrior

     Holly was so upset. She couldn't believe this was happening. The old tree! (p.20)

     I read a book "Holly the Eco warrior" recently. This was our last book in Literature Circle activities. The main character, Holly, loves nature and she wants to protect it. And she loved a old tree in her house. The tree was her favorite. However, one day, her parents started saying "We're cutting the tree in order to build father's office there," and she was so upset. She cried and got angry, then, she decided to stay at a tree house of the tree. She had a fixed mind not to go back home untill her parents change their decision. Both of Holly and her parents were stuborn, so the conflict was longer than I expected. Finally, they cut the tree! You will think "Oh, she lost the battle and the adults always won't listen to children's petitions in oeder to have their own way!" But it's wrong, Actually, they became a better family than before and we can learn how to solve problems in our family without anyone who has to be sad or angry.
