This week we started reading the novel, Pictures of Hollis Woods. Pick one character trait to describe Hollis. Give evidence from the text to support your answer.
For example if I gave a trait to describe the Lemon Lady, I could write:
I would describe the Lemon Lady as mean. In the text it said that the Lemon Lady made Hollis spend all weekend in the yard after she walked out of school. I agree that Hollis should have been punished, but having her spend an entire weekend outside is too harsh. This tells me that the Lemon Lady is a mean person who mistreats Hollis.
REMEMBER, you are writing about a CHARACTER TRAIT FOR HOLLIS.
