  1. My favorite character is Lisa K. She doesnt want her mom to get the job because she doesn't want to leave Gumbo Limbo Hammock.
    I felt the same way in New Yor. I didn't want to leave New York to go to Florida. I loved it there but we moved. At least we go there on some vacations. I know how Lisa feels if she leaves the Gumbo Limbo Hammock. She feels sad but her mom really wants the job.

  4. My favorite character in this novel is James James. I like James James because he is sneaky. When James James was hiding Dajun ,he took Travis were he knew Dajun was not. James James loves almost everything alive except snapping turtles.He was in the Vietnam War,and studied wildlife biology and geology in college and knew the whereabouts of the beautiful places on Earth.

  8. The character that I picked is Liza. Liza is helpful because she helps search for Dajun. Liza is creative when she thought about all the places that Dajun could be hiding. She is also trustworthy because she didn't tell any secrets about where her friends live. Liza doesn't give up because she keeps on searching for Dajun. She is also athletic because she can climb trees.
    My opinion of Liza is that she is a good person. I feel this way because she helps others and she is very kind.

  10. My favorite character is a person who is nice and intelligent and his name is James James. He was in the Vietnam War, but after that he never went back to work. My opinion of this character is that he is a smart and an intelligent man because he quickly figerd out what kind of water it was and what was in it. It was found over by were they found the hundreds of dead fish.
