Running Until the End



Author's Note: This is a cause and effect piece. You may move on to another family, there will be that time where you just might want to take everything back that you have maybe messed up in the past.


 What was Hollis’s reason for running away? In pictures of Hollis woods, the cause is how Hollis ran away from her foster family and found a different family but it turns out she really loves her other family. Running away was one thing that she regrets big time. Later she is reunited with the Regan's, her past foster family.

The time that she has spent with her family that has newly adopted her and loving her with a mom and a dad and a brother. One day she ran away, disappeared. Her reason for that is she felt that she was pulling the family apart by just being the outcast and that overwhelmed Hollis because she felt like she was just being spoiled. Far away Hollis ran, and found a new mother but she was single and no children of her own. Missing her old family changed her mind of st1aying away from then.  Driving back to her family was making Hollis nervous but so excited, hopping that the family would be mad at her for running away. One big happy family was once more. She can be just like other foster child, the one that might be nervous, timid and it may just overwhelming for kids that really haven't had a family in a long time or ever.

  1. Danielle, You have a lot of great ideas related to the book Pictures of Hollis Woods and how you relate to the story. What was the problem that Hollis caused with the Regan family? This will help you see the cause and effect relationships with the book. Also, please include an Author's Note for the piece.
