Character Interview Analysis

Read the original story below. Then answer each question using details from the story. When you write an imagined interview answer, make it fit what the character says and does.

The Missing Seedling

On Monday morning, Evie noticed a small hole in the school garden bed. The sunflower seedling she had planted was gone. She frowned at the muddy soil. “I worked so hard on that,” she whispered. Her friend Arlo crouched beside the bed. Tiny paw prints crossed the mulch and disappeared beneath the shed. Evie wanted to search straight away, but Arlo reminded her that the class had promised to care for the garden, not disturb the animals living nearby. They placed a shallow dish of water beside the shed and asked the caretaker for a spare seedling. Evie replanted it carefully, pressing the soil around its roots. “I suppose the first one might be growing somewhere else now,” she said. The next morning, a small possum peered from the shed roof. Evie smiled, though she kept the new seedling protected with a wire guard. “We can share the garden,” she told Arlo, “as long as we look after it too.”
