Brighty of the Grand Canyon
ReplyDeleteThe main characters of this story are Brighty, Old Timer (the prospector), and Jake Irons. Brighty was a burro that lived in The Grand Canyon. Brighty liked Angel Creek. Old Timer was a miner with long grey hair. He was also very caring and loved Brighty. Jake Irons was a strong guy. Jake used to be a trapper, but now is out of work.
This story takes place in Arizona at The Grand Canyon by Angel Creek. It was back when prospectors still prospected. It can get really hot in the Grand Canyon.
Brighty migrated to cold places when it was warm and to warm places when it was cold. Brighty loved being a free spirit. Brighty crossed angel creek many times. Brighty stopped to study the white spot now it had grown to a tent.
What I like about this story is that it is entertaining. I also like that this story is easy to read. It is fun to read about the characters. I like Brighty the most out of all the characters.
How I can tell the prospector and Brighty are friends is because the prospector pulled the prickles out of Brighty ,also because they do things for each other such as sharing flapjacks, and when they see each other they were clowning around.
The prospector wanted to get rich so he could use the money to buy doodads, tinklybell, shade hat, flea shoo powder but, most important was the wheel chair for his niece. This tells me the prospector was a giving and loving person.
