The Power of Persistence


Roy is a persistent young man; that is, he wants to find out the mystery behind the barefoot boy, and he stands up to bullies and stays brave against electrical storms to do so. Thanks to his determination, in Chapter 7 he finds out more about Mullet Fingers than he ever imagined.

Think about a time that you showed the power of persistence. Perhaps you kept practicing a skill like basketball or singing until you were finally proficient. Maybe you believed in something strongly--like rescuing a homeless animal or riding your bike to the park--and you stood up for your cause until you were successful. Or perhaps, thanks to your persistent investigation, you solved a mystery of your own.

Using the graphic organizer you completed in class, blog about the time that you showed the power of persistence.
