Is this all in active voice In The Book Thief the main girl Leisel is an outcast because she just moved to live with her foster parents and didn’t know anyone yet. Rudy, the boy that lived next door, decides to talk to Liesel and walk her to school. They became best friends after that. My best friend was like Leisel, an outcast. I met my best friend Savannah in second grade. We were all outside playing at recess when I saw her sitting by herself. I decided to talk to her because she looked lonely. I learned that she had just started at Severn and that we lived close to each other. We instantly clicked and became best friends. Since we had no classes together we could only talk to each other during recess. During recess we decided to start a rainbow loom bracelet business. Savannah would bring rainbow looms in and we would make them together and then trade them for pretty rocks. Savannah would also make dolls out of pipe cleaners and we would play with them during recess.
In the summer Savannah and I would often hang out at her house. She had two ducks name Bubble, and Quackers that we would feed tomato slices. We would also give them baths in a little kiddie pool. She lived on the water so we would often go on her boat and sail around the bay. When we got hot we would jump out of the boat and swim around in the water. Her mom used to heat up chocolate that we would dip strawberries into.When we got bored we would go up to her room dedicated to legos and would build some legos. Savannah and I would make lego characters that looked like each other and we would build houses for them.
Savannah and I continued being best friends throughout elementary school but in the summer of 6th grade, Savannah moved away. She moved to Roanoke Virginia which is a 6 hour drive away. While thats not too far of a drive our school breaks never happened at the same time. I was miserable because I wasn’t able to see my best friend. I went through most of 7th grade without seeing her. Finally I hd a random week off so I was able to spend a long weekend with her. My mom and I did the 6 hour drive to her house but we managed to get loss trying to find her house. Her family picked me up and drove me to their house. Savannah and I were both super excited to see eachother again
