Some of the main events in the story that I missed in my presentation are: when Ally gave Mrs. Hall a sympathy card for her baby shower not knowing what it was because of her dyslexia. I also missed Ally becoming class president, when she became class president we found out that Shays mom is mean to Shay. I also missed that Albert was bullied by a bunch of boys but one day they bullied him when he was hanging out with Ally and Keisha and he punched them back because they hurt his friends and he got really mad. They never bullied him ever again. I also missed how Ally hurt a butterfly at Shays party. Also when Ally and Shay were hanging out on the first day of school Ally thought that Shay stole her crackers but really she diddnt and Ally at Shays cupcake. Thats why they hate each other

I want Ally to finally know how to read completely and easily. I also want her dad to come home from the war safe and sound. The reason I want Ally to know how to read is because school will be so much easier for her, and nobody will bully her for not knowing how to read. She wont have to sit and worry about doing writing assignments she will want to do writing assignments. I want her dad to come home because they can finally be a complete family again and get more money to live then what Travis and Allys mom are getting. In the end I also want Albert to stand up to the boys hurting him AND be able to get food at home. I want this so Albert can be happy and not be hungry or hurt. 

If I could have lunch with any character it would be Ally because I would tell her that different is good and that if she would tell someone what is up with her she would get help. I would also say to her that she has two amazing friends. Plus she seems really friendly and nice to be around. 

I'm a Fish In A Tree because im VERY talkative.

The book Fish In A Tree starts out like this:
Ally Nickerson is in her class trying to write a paragraph about herself. But she cant. When she writes all the words get scrambled on the page. Her teacher Mrs. Hall keeps getting her to try but she cant. But nobody really knows. Finally she try`s but only writes Why? Why? Why? Over and over again. The next day Mrs. Hall is having a class baby shower. Ally bys Mrs. Hall a pretty flower card. At the baby shower Mrs Hall reads the card and cry`s because it was a sympathy card. Ally gets in trouble and misses the bus. She walks to her mothers work (restaurant) were her mother is and talks to her. Then Shay and Jessica walk in a be rude. Her mother tells her to talk to friends and it ends badly.

Connections to me:
A connection to me from the book is that Ally is in 6 grade and I am in 6 grade too.
