![]() ![]() Jack doesn’t have a pet and would like to make one up rather than write about the pet he used to have. ![]() In November, Miss Stretchberry asks students to write poems about their pets. Grudgingly, he allows Miss Stretchberry to type up and display his poems about the blue car, but only if she doesn’t put his name on them. He writes poems about a speeding blue car with mud splatters on it, but he refuses to explain the car’s significance. ![]() But Jack agrees to try his hand at writing his own poems modeled after the ones Miss Stretchberry read. Also, the poems that Miss Stretchberry reads to the class, like the one about the red wheelbarrow and the one about the snowy woods, don’t make any sense. Jack is in Miss Stretchberry’s class this school year, and he’s indignant: he not only doesn’t want to write poetry, but he can’t. ![]()
