The Little White Horse

Goosebumps series- RL Stine
The Red Pony- John Steinbeck
Bridge to Terabithia- Katherine Patterson

I was a fan of Maria's personality. At first, she was a little nervous about coming to her new town, but she adjusted nicely. She seemed to be the type of person that makes the best of things, and is optimistic. It seems to be a childhood thing. The fantastic elements of the story fit well with the childhood optimism because Maria was the only person that saw things like Robin, for example, and Miss Heliotrope represents someone who does not have this childhood innocense.


A few of the characters had very different names. I was wondering what the significance of each of them is? For example, is Digweed called that because he digs weeds from the garden?
