In the school year I read Because Of Winn Dixie and was asked to write the beginning in Winn Dixie’s point of view. Here it is :

I am Winn Dixie and today I am running through a grocery store. So far I’ve knocked over some tomatoes , onions and green peppers. I’m feeling really happy right now. I see a tall guy, all red faced, screaming and I see a girl walking in. I smile at the girl. I want to thank the tall guy for the wonderful time I’m having, but he doesn’t speak dog so I wag my tail. The tall guy falls over and starts crying. I feel bad for him so I lick his face. The tall guy says ,” Please somebody call the pound! ” Then the girl says, “Wait a minute ,that’s my dog , don’t call the pound!!!!!! ” Is that girl crazy????? I thought. I’m not her dog. When we walk out of the store , the girl said , “You’re a mess… I bet you don’t belong to anybody. ” I smile at her and we start walking somewhere. Her dad let me stay with them.
