Creative Connector: In the part where Little Ann was in the freezing water. It reminded me of when my dog escaped and we could not find her and after a few hours we found her. I notice that that boy cares about his dog. In almost every book there is a bully, and in this book in this part a boy was daring a boy to find something.

TEXT TO SELF

When I was little I really wanted a dog. I told my parents I wanted a dog but they said no but then my aunt gave me one for my birthday.

The connection helps my understanding of the book better because Billy also really wants a hound dog, so I connect to him because I also really wanted a dog when I was little.

TEXT TO TEXT

In the book the boy wants some shoes really bad but he can't afford them. The connection helps my understanding of the book better because Billy and the boy have the same problem (wanting something really bad)

TEXT TO WORLD

I see that there are very poor people in the streets, they have a lot of trouble making money.

The connection helps my understanding of the book better because I know that not many people are as fortunate as me and Billy has a hard life.
