11. My personal reflection on Poppy
My reflection on Poppy is that my sister is just like Poppy. Since I boss her around sometimes I could be considered Mr.Ocax. Eventually my sister will get me back like Poppy did to Mr.Ocax.

12. Theme
Mr.Ocax should be less selfish and mean. Mr.Ocax is mean throughout the book. He is mean to Poppy, Ereth, Lungwort and a lot more. I think he should be less mean and selfish because that may be one of the reason’s Poppy didn’t like him or anybody else.
