In life everyone needs a friend in the book “The Other Side” by Jacqueline Woodson. This story shows how Annie and Clover become friends. Annie and Clover become friends when they jump rope together,smile at each other, and when they sit on the fence together. The first time that they show friendship is When they Jump rope together. For example when Annie asked if she could play with them they said yes and then jumped rope. This shows that they were showing friendship. My second reason that they are showing friendship is when they smile at each other. For example when Annie tells Clover to come sit on the fence and she did and then they smiled at each other and sat on the fence together. This shows that they showed friendship. My third reason that they show friendship is they sit on the fence together. For example when Annie always sits on the fence she said to Clover “Come sit on the fence with me.” Clover said “My mom says that I shouldn’t go on the other side.” Then Annie said “My mom says the same thing but she didn’t say not to sit on it.” Then clover sat on the fence and this shows that Annie and clover show friendship. As you can see the story The Other Side Is all about how Annie and Clover show friendship. Like when they Jump rope together.Smile at each other.And finally when they sit on the fence together. This shows that Annie and Clover show friendship when they jump rope together. Smile at each other.And when they sit on the fence together. This story was all about Annie and Clover showing friendship.Now I’ll show friendship to different people more.

In life people will want you to do things you don't wanna do. In the story ‘’The Other Side’’ by Jacqueline Woodson clover wanted to play with the people on the other side of the fence but her mom and friend Sandra didn’t want her to. Luckily it didn’t stay that way forever. ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say. My first reason for this is that when her mom told her not to play with the people on the other side of the fence, And when her friend told her not to play with the other girl (Annie), And lastly when her mom told her not to play outside on rainy days. My first reason why ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say is when her mom told her not to play with the people on the other side of the fence. What i mean by this is if she had listened to her mom she would have never met Annie. Also if she would have took her mom’s advice the whole book would have never of happened, and there wouldn’t be a story to tell about this. I know this because in the part clover starts explaining where she lives and it says ‘’And mama said, Don’t climb over that fence when you play. She said it wasn’t safe.’’ This shows that if she would have listened to her mom she would have never got to play with Annie. My second reason why ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say is when her friend Sandra told her not to play with Annie. What i mean by this is when they were playing jump rope and Annie walked up to them and asked to play but it says ‘’And my friend Sandra said no without even asking the rest of us.’’ This shows that Sandra probably said no because she didn’t want clover and the other girls to play with Annie. My final reason why ‘’The Other Side’’ teaches to not always listen to what people say is when her mom told her not to play outside on rainy days. If she would have listened to her mom and just stayed inside she might not have got to introduce herself to Annie. In the part that this happened her and her mom were going back and forth about her playing outside on that rainy day and it says ‘’ Mama wouldn’t let me go outside in the rain.’’ This shows that her mom hasn’t really been a help to their friendship. And it is also a good thing that she didn’t listen to her mom.
