Littmus Lozenges
In the book Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiComillo Mrs. Franny compares Littmus Lozenges to life. Mrs. Franny told a story to Amanda and Opal. The story was about Mrs. Franny's relative named Littmus Block. Littmus Block had to go to war when he was just a boy. When he came home from war his family was dead. He wanted to make a sweat candy but also tasted sorrow because of his loss. And that candy is named Littmus Lozenge. You can taste the sweetness but you can't taste the sorrow taste unless you have had something sad in your life.
I agree with Mrs. Franny because in the book Because of Winn-Dixie Opal loses her mom and has to leave all of her friends behind when she moves away. Even though I don't think that anything sad has happened to me in my life I still agree with Mrs. Franny. I hope that nothing sad will ever happen to me, and I hope that nothing sad will happen to anyone else.
Has anything sad ever happened to you?
Do you agree with Mrs. Franny?
