- - - - It could be a moor pony.
      - Or, it could be either a wild sheep or a bunny.
    - - They wouldn't have planned to find it, they would happen across it.
      - Maybe they would find a baby animal that was lost.
    - - It could help by helping her learn how to be more sympathetic.
      - It could help her learn more responsibility, especially if the pet is a baby.
  - - - I have read it at least five times.
      - I didn't like it at first. And, I was about seven when I read it the first time.
    - - the characters are natural
      - it feels like you are a part of the world
    - - He is a friend of all of the animals.
      - He can talk to both people and animals.
- - - - Dickon seems to be good friends with everything on the moor.
        
        The animals or "the creatures" as he refers to them, trust him almost entirely.
        
        He knows were a lot of the "creatures" live.
      - He knows everyone who lives around the moor too.
        
        He knows the shop owners in the village.
        
        He even knows the doctor, and most servants in the misselthwaite manor.
      - He says sometimes he feels like one or another of his "creatures"
        
        I think one of his best rsponses is "my mother is always sayn' my nose is twitchin' like a rabbit's tryin' t' get at all of it." in response to one of mary's surprised statements "the air smells sweet out on the moor."
        
        To quote him, "I Sometimes feel as though I am a bird or a fox or even a bug and don't know it."
    - - He helped Mary come out of her shell.
        
        He was very nice to her, and taught her how to plant flowers.
        
        in doing that, he seems to also plant her seeds of kindness that slowly grew
      - He also has a some particular "creature" companions.
        
        Soot is a raven.
        
        Captain is a fox.
        
        Jump is his moor pony.
        
        Nut and Shell are squirrels.
      - He also helps Collin get better and walk.
        
        I think seeing Dickon so strong and happy is what helped Collin most
  - - - Colin thought his dad did not want him, that and his fear of being a hunchback is what made him so sick.
        
        He was mistaken in the end about his dad.
        
        I do not really know what about being a hunchback was so scary for Collin.
      - Colin had also been given everything he wanted.
        
        Collin thought this was the completely normal way of things.
        
        He did not walk.
      - He and Mary are cousins.
        
        They are also the same age.
    - - He went into the secret garden, and thought it was magic.
        
        he learned to walk there.
      - he started to experiment with the magic.
        
        he got stronger and stronger.
        
        He also got better.
      - He was actually happy to see his dad.
        
        Colin physically ran into his dad wen he came home.
  - - - Mary is much more approachable in the end.
        
        You might even think she was friendly.
        
        She had made friends.
      - She had a hard time learning to take care of herself.
        
        She did learn though, and was glad about learning in the end
      - She started really changing after she found the secret garden
        
        The robin that showed her the garden is also a big help to her.
        
        She loved the plants first ad then the people
    - - Mary had no maners.
        
        She called everyone names.
        
        She thought she was a little queen.
      - When Mary came into contact with other kids, she did not like them and they did not like her.
        
        The others called her "Mistress Mary quite contrary."
        
        She thought the other kids were rude without realizing how rude she was herself.
      - Mary started with a servant.
        
        She could do anything she wanted.
        
        her servant even dressed her.
- - - - as the story goes on, more and more people catch the disease.
        
        Mary does not know what is happening.
        
        She is even more terrified, because she just hears lots of noises.
      - Mary's servant or nanny Ayah gets the disease and is the first to die.
        
        Mary is upset, but not sad.
        
        the servant that replaced Ayah is scared around Mary and does not tell her anything.
      - Then everyone runs from the house.
        
        Mary is left alone
        
        the police eventually comes to the house and find mary.
    - - Finaly, they took a horse drawn coach to the manor
        
        they went over the moor to get there.
      - First she was at a neighboring house.
        
        The kids there gave Mary the nickname "mistress Mary quite contrary."
      - then she took a boat to England
        
        Ms. Medlock met Mary there.
        
        then they took a train to the station closest to Misselthwaite manor.
  - - - Mary went to explore the garden and, met a gardener named Ben Wetherstaff.
        
        Ben was not particularly happy about Mary talking to him
        
        Ben had a robin, and the robin was delighted to see Mary.
      - The Robin led Mary to the garden.
        
        He did it by perching on the top of the key and then the wall right were the door was covered in ivy.
      - Mary felt very lonely and thought the house seemed empty.
        
        She was right the house was pretty empty.
        
        she decided to go outside.
    - - Mary had been taken to her room.
        
        the room next to it whitch was hers too, was not ether.
        
        The room she was in, was not a kid's room.
        
        they were both gloomy and imposing
        
        She fell asleep in the bed in one of the rooms.
      - When Mary woke up, Martha was looking at her.
        
        Mary was insulted! she thought "the natives" as she called them were just servants. in her vew, things to be yelled at and ordered around.
        
        Martha thought Mary might be an indian.
  - - - Eventaly, Mary told Colin about the garden.
        
        They asked Dickon to push Colin's wheelchair. Eventually, they all got outside and into the garden.
        
        Colin grew stronger and eventually was all the way well.
      - Mary decided to investigate the crying.
        
        She followed the crying up one hallway and, down the next.
        
        She came to a tapestry at the end of one of the hallways. The crying was coming apparently from the tapestry, when she looked closer the there wad a door behind it.
        
        behind the door was a boy, the boy's name was Collin.
        
        Mary and Colin became good friends.
      - She heard him crying one night.
        
        But the crying had happened before.
        
        At first, she thought it was the wind "wuthering."
        
        that first time, Martha had told her " 'twas the parlor maid, she had the tooth ache all day."
