Dear Gabby,
In the Bean Trees, Taylor is fighting to be Turtle's legal guardian. I believe Taylor is going to end up with Turtle because she's grown very attached to Turtle, and she's going all the way to Oklahoma to legalize Turtle's adoption. Taylor really couldn't have really done any of this without the help of her friends. The part of the book I’ve found most memorable so far is when Taylor is driving Esperanza and Estevan to Oklahoma, and she ask them if they would want to go to the Sanctuary Church or go spend another day with her. I believe so far this is most memorable because when they accept to spend another day with her, it’s just showing another example of Esperanza and Estevan’s loyalty towards Taylor. Taylor having her friend's help, reminds me of how my friends have been such a support me. Like Taylor, they helped me get through rough times that would not have been able to get through alone. I just really like all the characters of the book, because they all have this sort of highlight to them that makes them stand out. I've never read a book with characters like these; they have this serious yet humorous tone to them.

Dear Cecelia,
As a whole, Taylor Glover has grown up a lot since her move to Tucson, Arizona. I agree that the characters in this book are serious, but they show their comical side too, just like any normal person which lets us understand them a bit more. Makiing the character have a comical and serious side helps us understand when the plot becomes serious and when it is an great time for the character. Taylor's friends that help her also remind us how we are selves need help even when the people that seem to have it altogther they may not have it. These characteristics make the character more likable and human.
