The problem that she had was finding more out about her mother. She solved it by going the Liberty, New York and going to Hilltop Home. I think that I related to Georgia Sweet the most because I am more of a person how can make friends fast but I like to listen to what they are saying rather than talking a lot. I learned that you need to live every day like it's your last and don't take things for granted because you never know when it could all be over.
ReplyDeleteHeidi went to Liberty and foud out about her mom. I related to Zandar because he is a boy and he has a normal family but I don't eat as much junk food as him. I learned that should love things while they last because eventually everything goes away.
ReplyDeleteThe challenge was faced when Heidi went to Liberty, New York to find Thurman Hill. In the book I can relate to Ruby the most. I can relate to her the most because I like taking care of people and Ruby takes care of a lot of people. I learned that if you really want something like Heidi wanted to learn about her mom you can do anything.
ReplyDeleteThe challenge was over come by going to Liberty
ReplyDeleteand not going back untill she got her answer. I relate the most to Heidi because from what I read she is very curious and I am too.I learned that if you set your heart on something and have a plan of finding out and never letting anyone or anything get in the way you can meet it
The challenge Heidi faced was that she wanted to know what "soof" ment and who her morher really was. She tackles this challenge by going to Liberty, New York, where her mothers old nursing home. she fights until she figures out.
ReplyDeleteThe character I could relate to was Heidi. I can relate to her because she is curious and so am I.
I learned that you should always be careful because Heidi didn't know her mother was going to die. She should have listened to Bernie.
Heidi faced the challenge by going to Liberty, to talk with Mr. Hill. I can relate to Heidi because she is stubborn and brave. One lesson I learned from the book is that love is eternal, you will always love and remember the other person.
ReplyDeleteHeidi faced her challenges by going to Liberty, New York and finding Thurman Hill to find out the truth. She got to go to on her own for the first time ever and used her lucky skills and the 'eye' tricks Bernie had taught her before. In the book, I could relate most to Heidi because she is curious about life and she's adventurous and willing. The lesson I was taught from this book is that you should always live everyday to the fullest, and enjoy it no matter what!
ReplyDeleteThe challenge was that Heidi did not know what soof was. I can relate to Georgia Sweet because we both like psychology. The moral is what you are looking for os usually right under your nose.
ReplyDeleteThe problem was that Heidi wanted to was going to encouter a big problem. Heidi went to Liberty to find out why Thurman Hill ignored all of Bernadette's calls and letters. Heidi then finds out what the word "soof" means. I guess I can relate to Heidi's stubborn character. I do want I think is right and do my best to find out things that intrest me. I learned that sometimes is good to let things go and not run after it because it can cause some kind of trouble.
ReplyDeleteOne of the chalenges I talked about in my earlier post was her not being able to get Thurman Hill to tell her about her past. I said that she would keep trying and keep trying until she got him to tell her. That's pretty much what she did, but she didn't have to keep on trying that long, but she did have to deal with being stuck in Ruby and Roy's house, and Roy going to Hilltop without her. I think she just tried to stay patient, and tried to contact Roy to take her there. I think I related most to Georgia cause I like listening to people much more than talking to them. I learned that there are some things that you just can't know, no matter how hard you try. And that what color something is, some ones name or thier lineage doesn't change who or what they or it is. The tiny details don't really matter. If a pro soccer player finds out that his name is the same as a mass murderer, that doesn't mean he's a mass murderer, or that he can't play soccer anymore.

ReplyDeleteIn my earlier post, one of the challange I said was that Heidi might have some problems with finding Mr. Hill, and asking him questions when she arrives at Librety. And in the novle, Heidi had a little problems before she found Mr. Hill as I said, and she also had to face some problems before she ask Mr. Hill questions about her Mom's past.
I think I relate most to Georgia Sweet because I like listening to what other people say to me than talking to them. I learned two things that I think it's interesting to know. The first one is sometimes people lie because the truth is too hard to admit. And the other one is people don't always tell you when they know you're lying.
A problem that they over come was that Heide finally found out who she was and who her mother was. I think the person i relate to the most is Georiga Sweet because i don't really talk much i just listen. I learned that you shouldn't take life for granted, you should live life to the fullest.
ReplyDeleteIn the book So B. It, Heidi's mother could only say 23 words. She never had the right words to describe how she felt, or about her past. Heidi never knew when her birthday was, or anything about her past. The problem was faced by Heidi going off to Librety, New York to find out about her past. Heidi learned many things that she thought she would never know. I think I related to Heidi the most in the book So B. It beacuse her grandmother got hit by a bus and died, while my sister got hit by a car. I also relate to her because I have to know everything, and it makes me mad if I don't. I would go off in search for my past if my mother was mentally retarted. From the book I learned that somethings in life you can't know, and you have to get on with your life. I also learned that you can't always be lucky for your whole life, it will end soon.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with the word soof was solved when she met Mr. Hill. He told her "soof" is what her father, Elliot, called her mom, Sophia. I related to Hiedi most because niehter of us know who our mother is. Heidi has met her mother but she doesn't really know what goes on inside her mothers head. Now she never will because he mother has passed on. I learned that some things in life people just can't know and that's ok. We don't need to know everything. We may want to but we don't have to. And in some cases it's better not knowing.
ReplyDeleteIn my book So B. It, Heidi's mother could only say 23 words, and she did not have the right words to describe the way she felt, or about her past. The challenge was faced by Heidi going off to Libety, New York in search for the truth about her past. Along the way she met many people. She learned about the real world on her long trip. When she reached her destiny, she got the truth from an old man. She could not belive what she heard.
ReplyDeleteI think I could relate to Heidi the most in the book So B. It because she needed to know everything, and I also have to know everything. I also relate to her because her grandmother got hit by a bus, while my sister got hit by a car. If I was in Heidi's situation, I would go out and search for the truth about my past like she did.
From the book So B. It I learned that you can't always know everything. Sometimes you just have to live with knowing the knowledge that you have.
Before, I talked about heidi's mom being afraid of buses, and that wasnt really solved. But heidi had to do more things by herself. In this book, I think that I relate to heidi the most. I would also want to know about my past. I just dont think that I would be brave enough to go by myself, because she went across the country. Overall, i though this book was good, but it seemed a little too easy for me.
ReplyDeleteHeidi faced alot of challenges trying to go to Liberty,New York.Trying find out the truth about her past. She meet alot of new people.I think I can best relate to Heidi because she is curious and stubborn. I tink the thing I loved most or learned most about this book is that it's better to let things be no matter how tempting they are you don't want to find out everything now then you have nothing to look forward to later.I also learned family is important no matter how much they get on your nerves.
ReplyDeleteMy final impression of So B. It was that it is very well written and has a good message. However, I feel like it could of been better if the ending wasn't so rushed because it sort of felt like a ton of information was being thrown at you at once. Heidi faced the challenge of facing her unkown past and she overcame this by seeking out the truth herself. I can relate most with the character Berdanette because if I was in her place I probably would tell Heidi not to go to Liberty as well. From this book I learned that when you have nothing else you'll always have family and sometimes there are things you just can't know.
ReplyDeleteThe challenge Heidi faced was that she wanted to know what "soof" meant. She traveled to Liberty, New York to the nursing home her mother used to stay at to find the truth about her past. She tried her hardest to get answers out of Thurman Hill and succeeded.
ReplyDeleteThe character I can relate to is Heidi because she fights for what she wants and so do I.
I learned that if you fight for what you believe in and if you always try your hardest then you have a better chance of getting what you want.
The challenge Heidi faced was that there were so many things she didnt know about her mother, her past, and the word soof. Heidi faced her challenge by going to Liberty and finding some answers. When things got off to a rough start after a long trip, Heidi didnt lose hope and kept searching for some answers. With her luck and some help from Bernie Heidi got a place for the night and found all the answers she was looking for.
ReplyDeleteIn the book So B. It hiedi faces many challenges, but her biggest one is not knowing about her moms past. Finally she goes to Liberty city New York, and figures everything out. She now knows what soof is and the story of her grandma, and most inportantly if she had a real dad. Even though figuring all this out was great, the ending wasnt so good for hiedi or Bernie. When Hiedis mom or also known as Sofia died because of a brain tumor.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to Hiedi because if my mom had a past that i didnt know about i would definatley go to the length she did to find out.
ReplyDeletethe moral of the story is that everything has a purpose and there always an answer to everything, somethings to just have to look hard to find those answers.
Heidi had alot of problems to face throughout the book. A problem the Heidi Faced was finding out what the word soof ment. So she went to Liberty, New York To find out. Another problem that she had to face was the her mother was mentally challenged and she couldn't do stuff on her own, and that someone had to help her. The character I would say I relate to is Bernie, Because she was nice and kind to help Heidi and her mother and didn't want them to suffer and i like to help people to and I don't like to see people suffer either.
ReplyDeleteI would say that I most relate to Heidi. When there is something that I dont know, I do as much as i can to find out what it is.
ReplyDeleteThis book taught me that there are some things that a person can't know, and I think this wil help me later on in life.
