PLOT:so there was a raciallly divided town in cleveland, ohio and no one around to try and bring them together. except for a little Vietnamese girl... at first a vacant trash piled lot looked like no place for a garden but this little Vietnamese girl transformed that vacant lot into a place for anyone of all cultures and diversities.
SETTING:so this story happens in a time period that i think we all know pretty well. the 21st century. in as i said before cleveland, ohio.
CHARACTERS:there are multipule characters in this story. I am going to pick out the 3 that i really admire. sae young is one because i really admire her courage. She had a pretty rough life i mean her husband died at the age of 37 from a heart attack. She didn't have any children to share the grief with i mean seriously. sae young was even beat up and stolen from,but she didn't let that stop her.my next person is maricella. she has a baby at 16 and she is mexican. her parents kicked her out and she is living in cleveland,ohio. i really admire her because even though for a brief time she wished her baby was dead she never made any actions to kill her child. She just dealt with it.The very last person I'm going to say is leonna because she was a go getter she never backed down nor gave up. she wanted that lot cleaned and that's what she had done she didn't back down until that vacant trash filled lot was completly cleaned.
THEME:I thought that the theme was no matter what our diversities or cultures we can all come together for something that we all love...
the author is paul fleishman. really you gotta read this book...
