Holling has had quiet a time through 7th grade, I would say a lesson learned this year may not be learning wise but always be nice to everyone because sometime they will come back in your life.
The war that Holling had to fight the most came later in the year which was with his father. He needed to get the guts to stand up to his father and tell him how he feels.
Out of a bunch of time with thinking about who my ally is which know one really is still. But I will give Mrs. Kraus credit for helping me get through a hard time with life and school. And always giving me the inspiration to not give up on something I love to do.
