10 Things

Why do you think Opal wanted to know ten things about her mother?  Can you tell what her mother is like from the ten things her father describes to her?  Do you think that ten things can really describe a whole person?

  1. I think we always want to know things about people in our family. I never met my mother's father (he died before I was born). Since I will never get the chance to meet him, I ask questions to try and get a sense of who he was. I don't think ten things can really describe a whole person, but it is a good start.

  2. I think opal wanted to know 10 things about her mother because she was 10. Also because she really really really wanted to know about her mother. Also I imagine her mother as someone very nice but playfull,and also has a great sence of humor.Lastly,I do think 10 things can discribe a person.

  3. Opal probably wanted to know things about her mom because she didn't know anything about her since she wasn't there. Ten things only tells you a little not everything. Ten things can describe a person, but ten things won't tell you everything you need to know.

  4. Opal wanted to know more about her mom. Opal's mom couldn't cook and loved stories. Yes ten things can tell you enough about a person.

  5. I think Opal only asked 10 things because she didn't want her dad to pull his head back in his turtle shell.I think her mom was a fun listening person. I don't think 10 things can describe a whole person but it is enough to get
    you thinking about the person.

  8. Opal wanted to know 10 things about her mother so that if her mother ever came back, she would know her. No not really, that is only a part of her. No, it only says a little about you not you as a whole.

  9. Opal wanted to know 10 things about her mother because she was very young when her mother left. The ten things that her father told her about her mother lets her know what she looked like, how she acted and what kind of things she liked. I think that you can get to know people when you find out 10 things about them. But the more you find out about them the better you will know them.
