The Quote in Sahara special defiantly reminds me of my best friend Kylie. She is a great and amazing person. When I first met her she was so shy and never shared her feelings. Every day I see her she comes out of her shell inch by inch. She is the most wonder full person in the whole world and she is leaking!!! She is always there for me in the hardest times. Miss.Pointy should of said the quote to Kylie not sahara!!!

The quote in Sahara Special that Miss Pointy says reminds me of my mom. This quote reminds me of my mom because she is a wonderful life coach, she helps people with difficult or slight problems, and no matter what she always gives awesome advice like Miss Pointy. My mom gives great advice to her kids and her clients. She has wisdom like Miss Pointy. I always find her saying special, kind things that always help in any situation her family or her clients find themselves in. When Miss Pointy said the quote, “Secret peopIe are hard to keep inside. Especially if they are wonderful. You for instance, are leaking.” I had a hard time not thinking about my mom because of the great impact she has on me being the fantastic, encouraging person she is. It is always a hard time working, but my mom is that kind of person that doesn’t mind because she loves what she does, and likes to be the kind and generous person she is. So my mom reminds me of the quote in the novel Sahara Special!

This quote remindes me of myself.A feeling that is hard to keep inside me is the loss of my grandpa. The reason is because almost a year ago he died and it has been very hard for me and my family to take in. Although it has been a year, every once in a while I need to tell somebody how sad I am to get it out of my system. He and I were also best friends. Even my grandma says so.

This quote reminds me greatly of my cousin, who is trying to hide her own secret person; a dancer. Ever since I have known her, she has loved to dance, but never took lessons. She had potential, balance, stamina, all it took to be a true, hard working dancer! Then, one year, she finally took the plunge. After eleven years of ignoring her special talent, she finally took lessons. She, and many others, found that she was a true artist on the dance floor. She had all the right moves, rhythm, she could remember all the steps, and she grew to be a better dancer after only a few months of lessons. Her secret person is a dancer, and she is definitely leaking, and leaving little puddles in her dance shoes.

This quote from “Sahara Special” reminds me of my neighbor Alisha. Alisha’s parents are divorced and her mom lives in Canada. She sometimes misses her mom when she is at her dad’s house. I think she could be wonderful.I think that she tries to keep her feelings inside which makes her less outgoing. She is very kind, but is not always very optimist. I think that she can do much more than she does and has more talent than she wants to show. I think that anyone can change, but it would take more than a simple pat on the back.

This quote reminds me of the character Roy, in the book Hoot. Roy is the new kid that moved to Florida from Montana. Roy has struggled being the new kid, but he is pretty much used to it. There is one boy named Dana Matherson that Roy is really scared of. Everyday Dana finds a new way to pick on Roy, and Roy can’t stand it anymore. Finally, Roy starts to act out. Roy becomes pretty popular and has his own little group of friends. Him and his friends figure out a way to get back at the bully, but Roy didnt want to. He wanted to be the bigger person and stand up the the bully and he did. Roy took charge and talked to Dana. This showed that Roy wasn’t just a little weakling that couldn’t do anything. Roy started at the school as a puny new kid, and ended up as a popular, respectful guy.

The book”Sahara Special”, by Esme Codel was an awesome book with a lot of meaningful quotes. For exampe, Miss Pointy says to Sahara,”Special people are hard to keep inside, especially if they are wonderful. You, for instance, are leaking.” This quote reminds me of one person in my life. That is Allie. She is the person that I would say is leaking. I would say that because she is always thinking of other people. Also, she moved to a new school and she doesn’t know a lot of people, but she stays with it and doesn’t complain. I’d say that she is pretty special.

This quote reminds me of many people, but it really reminds me of my best friend, Megan. I think that she has a secret person inside of her because she is an AMAZING writer. I only see her at my dance classes, but sometimes she brings a binder to our dance classes with her latest stories inside of it. She always lets me read them, and, in my mind, could be compared to some of the greatest writers of all time. She wants to be a veterinarian, but she has many other talents, also, so I’m going to support her in everything she does!
