Because of Winn-Dixie
In the book Winn-Dixie The preacher (opals dad) never really paid attention to life. In the book it said that the preacher reminded Opal of a turtle that hides inside its shell, at least the preacher was nice enough to let Opal keep Winn-Dixie. In the story it says that Opal's mom left when she was really young, so that might be a reason that the preacher was trying to hide inside his shell.
Latter on in the book when Winn-Dixie ran away, which they thought he did even though he didn't run away. It surprised me because he always acts up when there is a thunder storm. The preacher helped Opal try to find Winn-Dixie. The preacher changed by doing that. I wonder if the preacher let the past go and is focusing on the future.
Have you ever read the book Because of Winn-Dixie?
