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.

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.

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.
