There are two other people mentioned besides Rory – Mr. Reed and Rose Peters. These are the characters. The rest of the story will probably tell what happens to these characters.
characters: Rory, Mr. Reed, Rose Peters setting: a library
Plot Events:
*Rory asks the librarian for a book, but Rose is reading that book.
*Rory asks Rose when she will finish the book.
*Rose suggests they take turns reading the book.

Background Knowledge This week’s story is about a girl who
moves to a small town in Florida.

*few schools
*one library
*not a lot of people
*many schools
*several libraries

Develop Concepts In small towns, there is usually only one library and
one post office.
Because the town is small, most people know each other.

Wild animals lived near many small towns in the past.
