I think the Queen of Narnia is very mean. She called Edmund an idiot when Edmund clearly didn’t know what he queen was talking about when the Queen asked Edmund “What are you?” The Queen also is very haughty, she snaps at Edmund when he does not address her as the queen when he clearly is very confused. Edmund is also very dumb, he should pay more attention and not get drawn into the Queen’s trap once she suddenly becomes nice. He should ask a question to the queen. And why should he trust the Queen? He should’ve learned not to trust strangers.

I think Maricela is very pessimistic. Maybe after her baby, when she is not fat, men will like her again and she will be popular and stuff. And sometimes, babies can help. Babies are cute and you can be cute with them, that may help you gain popularity. Maybe Maricela should also accept tips on her baby, that may help her with bending and everything. Those people were trying to help, why doesn’t she accept help. She clearly needs it. She should also try goldenrod, it may actually work, but she just wants to be pessimistic and try everything to make her baby die. She should also be more part of the pregnant teens club or whatever its called. All of them together could make them all feel better. A team is better than being solitary, take penguins for example. A lone penguin will die while a group survives. I also think Maricela should get more into the planting business, she can help others plants and plant by herself too. This may release her stress. And maybe if she is more part of a group. The others will become her friends and they can play together and discuss things together.

I think Nora is the most caring of the nurses and doctors. She is the only one who actually cares to bring Mr. Miles outside, what a boring life being inside all the time, don’t the nurses notice that? I think Nora should tell the other nurses about the garden so they can help too. She should tell them where it is so other patients who are being treated can come and relax there too. If Nora had never taken Mr. Miles outside, Mr. Miles would be unhappy and bored and lifeless, maybe even dead, according to the part where it said that the Egyptians took the mad through gardens to treat them. Maybe that ancient technique actually works? They should try all possible ways to treat Mr. Miles, isn’t that what hospitals do? If a sick person is trapped in a room for some time with no fresh air, he will become even more sick because the human body is used to the outside and staying inside is not what the human body is used to. Maybe Nora should suggest taking patients to the garden to plant something to the owner of the hospital. ‘Miracle Hospital! The healing power of gardens!’ Should maybe be their motto if they start taking patients to that garden. I think it was good for Nora to listen to Mr. Miles and actually come back to the garden too. Without Nora taking Mr. Miles back to the garden, Mr Miles will be even more sad because he had one good time after he got sick and he cannot go back. Nora should also maybe tell Mr. Miles’s close people, they can maybe join in too and make that garden cleaner. Also, I wonder why no one else takes Mr. Miles outside, maybe they are just not used to taking people outside because they were told not to? Then why did Nora do it? Maybe they just don’t know everything about health.

I think Sae Young really likes to work with others, I don’t think she likes to work alone. I think she gets bored and I think she also should not get scared when other people come when only one person hurts her. I also think she should be more social and try to make new friends and learn proper english. I really like how she is very fragile like a child. She gets deeply affected by one small act and becomes not afraid after something makes her joyful. She should also go look far another husband, he may help with her business and might help with the garden. The husband could also help her get over her sorrows and help her rejoice after something bad happens. I also wonder why Sae Young came to America, and Cleveland in America. I think Cleveland by that time might have a bad reputation. Why doesn’t she want to stay in New York City? It might help with business and not as much crime.

I think  Gonzalo was embarrassed by his Tio Juan because he tasted the dirt and he made Gonzalo go through a junkyard. If anyone saw him there in the junkyard, that would be really bad for him! People could make fun of him, ‘Gonzalo, the junkyard boy!’ and, of course, no one likes that! Also, Tio Juan, tasted the dirt. This probably seems disgusting to others who see Gonzalo next to the man tasting the dirt. And since, Cleveland is city, there are no farms there so people are probably not familiar to tasting dirt. They probably think that Gonzalo tastes dirt too! That could be bad to Gonzalo’s reputation, and people could make even more fun of Gonzalo, he doesn’t even speak English well.

I think Wendell is caring and thinks he can make a difference. I think his is like one of those patriotic people who are so believing and I think Ana turned over a new leaf, she is no longer nosy and is just as caring as Wendell.I think it was good of them to water the plants when they were down. It was like that page you had mistakenly ripped out of a diary, and then you nourished it and attached it carefully back onto the diary. I think Wendell and Ana should’ve told the little girl, who was most likely Kim because she had dark hair and she had bean plants to nourish, that they were nourishing the plants. Also Wendell should’ve talked to Kim, so that they can both work together to make that ugly junkyard lot a nice one where people can play. Wendell also should’ve told Ana and Kim about his new lot where he is planting probably some seeds because he is fingering holes, that is what you do to make holes for seeds and he is getting a shovel, to plant bigger plants probably. Also, Ana is actually not as caring as Wendell because she does not bother to start a new plant, she just works of off Kim’s plants. Maybe Kim, Wendell and Ana should join a planting club to make the old junkyard neat and clean! They should also tell Cleveland town officials since they are editing a part of the town and shouldn’t the mayor know? After all, he is in charge. And other, authorized, gardeners could help them and bulldozers could take away the garbage. That would be much better. And much more effective, this way, how Ana, Wendell and Ana are doing it is much less effective then asking city officials.

I think Ana is nosy. I acknowledge that she is curious but I think that she should not be curious about other people’s business, that is just wrong. Imagine you were writing in a diary then you leave on your desk at school because you think that no one is nosy enough to look through it. Then a lady finds you writing in you’re diary. This lady goes to check what is in your diary, that is just plain wrong! You should not go looking through someone else’s personal stuff! I guess this makes that black-haired girl foolish that she left those plants mostly uncovered for anyone that was looking. If they weren’t looking they would not find them but if they were those beans were an easy target. Apparently, there are a lot of criminals in Cleveland, so a criminal who was looking could just dig up the plants and no one would know! I also think this dark-haired girl is Kim. She plants lima-beans, in a junkyard, and has dark-hair! Anyway, Kim should’ve taken more caution when planting her plants you never know! Kim was lucky that it was Ana that saw her, a criminal could’ve saw her and those plants lives are done. Still Ana should not have been looking for what Kim was doing. She even realizes this when she thinks “I felt like I read through her secret diary and had ripped out a page without meaning to” At least she puts the plants back. That was good of her. I think both Ana and Kim are at fault here.

I wonder if Kim is planting her seeds to keep her father’s spirit alive and for her father’s spirit to recognize her as someone so his spirit can be proud of it’s daughter. I think this because Kim had never met her father so she wants to show him his supposed spirit lives on.

I notice Kim is a very hopeful girl. In the cold, icy weather of Cleveland, Kim hopes that her bean plants will grow, to show her father’s spirit that she can farm. Kim never knew her father but she still wanted to show him she can farm. Kim’s father was a farmer all his life.
