The Tiger Rising

We have been reading a book in class called 'Tiger Rising'. Its about a boy growing up in a small town in America. We wrote character descriptions for some of the main characters. Hope you like them.

By Dane
Rob is a very Lonely boy that moved from Kentucky to Florida. His Ma died six months ago. He gets bullied in school all day, everyday! They call him disease boy because he has rashes on both legs. The bullies are Billy and Northan Threemonger, Jason, Uttimeir and Sistine Baily.

A prediction by Shane
I predicted in Chapter two that when the boy and Sistine both go into the woods and see the tiger, Sistine would go back into the woods and let the Tiger free and ride it through the woods.

Character description by Ben
Robert Horton is a single parent. He is a poor man with no money. His wife died so he and his son find it hard. They live in the 'Kentucky star Motel' and Robert does not get paid much money because his boss lets him live there with his son. He finds life hard because he had a good life in Jacksonville but had to move to Florida to forget about his wife who died. Now all he cares for is his son Rob. He wants him to be happy and healthy.

Character description by Scott
Robert Horton is a single parent as his wife died. Robert is a broken hearted man living in a run down place and not getting paid. His son Rob does not like the food that he makes for him because he is used to his mums food. Robert is worried about his son.

My prediction by Brandon
I predict that Rob shows Sistine the tiger. But when Sistine asked where the tiger is , Norton and Billy Threemonger might follow them into the woods. When Rob and Sistine aren't looking, Norton and Billy might hit the tiger with stones.

Character description by David
Rob is skinny and shy and he bottles up his feelings sometimes because his Mum died. He saw a tiger in the woods and this helps him forget his problems and hides his feelings. Sometimes he goes into a world of his own when he is bullied by Norton and Billy because he has a raw rash on his legs.

My prediction by Callum
I predict that when they go into the forest looking for the tiger Sistine gob smacks Robert and it is his first kiss! xx

Description of the motel room by Nathan

The motel looks like there was a bomb in it. It is dirty. I think the door is red and the chairs are ment to be red but they are black with the dirt! I love the story. I never seen a dirty motel like that. They dont have a tv and I think the room is dark.
