== Paul didn’t get apologize like I thought he would, but however he did get the credit. Paul and Maureen are the main characters. They wanted to help the colt get fed so they went to the fire chief about it. Paul and Maureen both remind me of my self around the horses. Paul personality shows determination. He got determined about several things throughout what I have read. Maureen changed as well she went from afraid of how Grandpa Beebe sold the horses to not afraid and crying. I would love to be like the two kids when they saw the horses starving and wanting their moms, and how they dealt with it. I would love to be friends with Paul and Maureen because they can hang around horses all day. They are not like other kids having to go to school with others, instead the have to learn the hard way. Maureen starts to cry when she sees a SOLD!! Sign on Misty and the Phantom. My favorite part of this section is when Paul fell asleep with Misty and the Phantom in the trailer and how Misty layer in Paul’s lap. I felt like I was in the story this time. Thank you for helping me understand what Grandpa Beebe was saying. ==

I got grounded last night because my room wasn’t clean. I think the grounds wet enough for farmers possible to wet. We have a garden that most of caned goods come form. Are you feeling better now I mean from the surgery? Violet do you like this book? Hope to hear from you soon. I am starting to like this book. Do you like it?

Goodbye for now,

Paige Parrent

Dear Paige,

Well sorry this took so long, I finally figured out how to use this thing.

I think Paul and Phantom are the main characters. His sister Maureen and Misty are like supporting characters. Paul is like most boys that might grow up around any animal, he wants one for his own. But not only does he want just any old horse, he wants the one that nobody can catch. He is a very determined boy. He knows what he wants and he does what he needs to to get it. His sister is very supportive of all that he is doing. I think that Phantom is a wonderful horse. You can kind of see that she is a wild animal that would really like to belong to this boy that worked so hard to keep her.

I am really enjoying this book. I like to read and think you have picked an excellent book for us to share.

Moms do like clean rooms you know. My kids have gotten grounded for not having their rooms cleaned. They also lose opportunities to do things until they can earn it back. I am feeling much better thank you. We also have a garden that we plant every year. I still have green beans from last year. I have started planting somethings, but have mostly just pulled weeds and grass. I think that is a neverending job.

Look forward to meeting you,

Violet Marshall

Paige,

I would like to meet with you on Tuesday. Would it be ok if we had lunch together at school? As you know I am going to school and I didn't realize that on Tuesday night I have a Final Test. This is one of the most important tests I take all year and if I miss it it would not be good at all. So if it is ok with you I would really like to come eat lunch with you on Tuesday and then we can discuss the last part of the book. Thank you for being such a great reading partner.

Sorry it took so long we have been busy at school lately, and are going to go to Six Falgs Eureka, MO tommorrow. I think that the book was good. I like how it made you wonder what’s going to happen next at the end of the section that we where suppose to read. The books ending ended a little weird in a way. I also feel that the book had many hard to understand words. Paul and Maureen did get to keep the horses. Comprehending the book was hard to do but it was all worth it the book turned out to be nothing like I had thought it would end. I think that someone who loves animals and accents should read this book. I think that they would love it because it has horses and accents throughout the book. What do you think? Did you like the book? I did after I started to understand it clearer. At the end of this book the Phantom runs away and the kids are sad at first but realize that they did do the right thing after all. They still have Misty. I would change the ending to where Misty is a little older and the Phantom will be tamed then she goes back and the kids understand why. What would you do?

I got ungrounded Saturday and rode a go-cart in our drive Sunday after church. We had to mow before we could go ridden but it was worth it. I was walking with second cousin Jaycee Sunday and we turned the corner of the block and we seen a turtle go across the rode. I hope to hear from you soon. The 8th grade graduation is on May 20,2010 and we won’t have to go to school anymore. It’s hard to believe summer is near. This Friday the 8th graders get to go to six flags in Eureka, MO I am so excited about that. School is going good for me. What about your schooling? My dress for the graduation is violet purple with flowers. My family is just expanding. My other 2nd cousin Draden is in Baseball and I am proud that he loves playing rather than watching TV more he’d rather be outside than inside. Weeds are a never-ending job that takes patients and time. Fresh green beans never last long around my family. My dad does the caning and is pretty good at it **. I understand May 11,2010 is the Reading Rocks party and you have a final good luck with that. Maybe at 12:30 you can come and have lunch with me. See you then. **

Dear Paige,

I would love to eat lunch with you! I am glad school is going good for you. I love school when I was your age. I had the most wonderful English teacher that made it well worth every minute. I still talk and write to her now.

I think the book was awesome. There are several other books that go along with this one. They are called Misty! I read them when I was in 8th grade. My daughter is also graduating 8th grade. That is why we are going to Arizona.

The book was an excellent read. I think that it is good that Phantom went the way she did. Once an animal is wild it is always wild. If not by it's actions but always in it's spirit. Phantom was an animal that did not want to be tamed, and it is better that she went. If you try to tame a wild animal that doesn't want to be then somebody may end up getting hurt. You could say that her spirit is as wild as the wind and soemtimes it is much better to let the wind be wild. Have you ever tried to keep the wind in a bottle? It wouldn't work very well would it? I don't think keeping Phantom in a pin would have worked very well either. It is good that Misty was left behind for the kids. I think all around some very valuable lessons were learned. Don't you?

Do have fun on your trip! I remember my 8th grade trip. It was a weekend in the state capital. I lived in Arizona then so we spent the weekend in Phoenix. It was awesome. We stayed at a hotel and went swimming. We also sat in when the senate was in session. Believe it or not that was my favorite part of the trip. We went to the zoo and of course the mall. Then on the way home our bus broke down. I can still remember all the fun we had on our trip.

I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!

Thank you, Violet
