How are Opal and Winn Dixie alot alike?

How can a stray dog connect with a preacher’s daughter? As the book Because of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo goes on Winn Dixie and opal become closer. Opal realizes she is even more like Winn Dixie than she thought. In addition, Opal grows to love him even more. In the beginning they are a lot alike and when he gets lost they become even more alike.

Opal and her dog are a lot alike in the beginning. For example, As Opal is washing Winn Dixie she says “ We are a lot alike!” For example, They both care about each other.  Opal and inn Dixie both lost their mom this is important because this makes someone change or unhappy. So they helped each other through whatever they were going through by being nice to each other and being friends. They both love PB. For instance, When they went to Gloria dump’s house he ate the PB right out of her hand.

Opal learns to love him even more in the end. For example, in the end when Winn Dixie runs away Opal doesn’t want to give up looking for him because she loves winn Dixie and she doesn’t want to give up her best friend. He helped her a lot and she doesn’t want to lose him. Opal is happy to find out that winn Dixie was always inside because she missed him so much and she wanted him to be safe. 

Opla learns that a dog is a kids’ best friend even more in the end. I can relate to her because when she moved she left alone and that is how I felt when I moved. Ms. Franny gave everyone littmus lozenge which is a candy made to be sweet but all the sad ness went into it so I was sweet and sad at the same time. Life can be like a litmus lozenge sometimes sweet but sad at the same time. Opals life is like a littmus lozenge because she got a dog and she still has her dad and friends which is sweet but it’s also sad because her dad barely pays attention to her and her friends only like her for her dog  and she had to move and she lost her mom. The lesson I learned is that it doesn’t matter what the species is, you can relate to anyone.
