The Tiger RisingKate DiCamilloBrigham Fife

The main characters were

• Rob• Sistine• Tiger• Rob’s dad {Mr. Horton}• Willy May• Threemonger boys Mr. Beauchamp

This story took place… (setting)

• Florida• Kentucky Star• School• Woods• Bus

I thought the biggest problem was:

That there was a tiger in a cage. Rob doesn't want to let it out.

The problem was solved when

Sistine convinces Rob to let the tiger out with the keys that Beauchamp gave him.

At the beginning…Rob gets bullied on the bus by the Threemonger boys. Rob meets Sistine for the first time. Rob talks with the principal in his office.

Then,Rob stays home for the rest of the day and Sistine comes over. Rob and Sistine fight and Rob’s secrets spill out.

Next,Rob decides to let the tiger out. Sistine and Rob use the keys that Beauchamp gave Rob. The tiger didn’t want to come out until they Rob and Sistine started to shake the cage.

At the end,Rob’s dad kills the tiger with a gun. Rob ,Willy May ,Sistine and Rob’s dad bury the tiger. Finally the sun comes out and Rob becomes happy again.

The best part of the story was whenThe best part of the story was when Rob and Sistine let the tiger out of the cage. I think it was the best part because it was the right thing to do.

I didn’t likeI didn’t like when Mr. Horton killed the tiger. I didn't like it because Mr. Horton could have simply fed the tiger and called the zoo.
