Seed Packets

By: Carter Madden

In our Language Arts class we read the book Seed Folk by: Paul Fleischman. It was about people living in Cleveland and their story about a garden that somehow changed their life or gave them a chance to make friends. It all started in a vacant lot were a little girl planted lima beans in remembrance of her father .Such as one of the character’s story was about how he messed up with a girl so he started to grow her favorite vegetable (tomatoes) in the garden which was right outside her window. When we finished the book we made seed packets. One of the seed packets had to be a character from the book then one could be like an animal or person etc. I did my dog. Her name is Lola. She is a small but fierce dog. She loves to play and chase my cat and other dogs. Sometimes she links she is a bigger dog it is really funny. Also, I picked Curtis because I thought it was nice and thoughtful that he planted his girlfriend’s favorite vegetable for her, and he took his friends joke. He went from the nickname ceps to tomato.
