Holly the Eco Warrior

 “‘Dad, you must be joking.’ Holly’s mother said, ‘That tree’s very old, Holly. And your father can have his new office there. It’s perfect.’ You’re going to cut down my tree for a squpid office?' It’s just a stupid tree,’ Sophie added, not very helpfully. ‘That is not unfair!’ Holly said, jumping up. Then she walked to the door and said, ‘L’m leaving home!’ (ll. 9-15, p.20)

   This is a story of an eco-friendly-girl, Holly, who tries to save an oak tree in her garden from being cut down by her father. Her strategy is living in the tree (house) with her dog, Eco, and to prevent her father from beginning to build an office instead of the tree. She keeps living there even though she is hungry. A brave protest of hers moves many people around her.
   I respect Holly because it brave of her to start to protest for an oak tree by herself. And also, she influenced on many people, especially some of her friends. They joined her protest on hearing the news, and fight for the tree by bringing their tents. If I were one of Holly’s friends, I would also join the protest.
