AFTER THE RAIN: VIRGINIA'S CIVIL WAR DIARY by Mary Pope Osborne

Ginny was a ten-year-old girl who lived in 1864-1865; she was a poor girl that lived with a poor family. In the story, she learned to fight agent's envy and hatred. then President Lincoln got shot and her aunt Ellen Jane had a baby and named it Abraham Lincoln Dickens. By the end of the story, Ginny gets over her envy and her father gets a job.

Ginny's conflict was her envy. She lived with a poor family with two sick family members and she was full of envy and meanness.

The main character Ginny changed throughout the course of the book. At the beginning she was full of envy because she was sick of being poor her whole life and her family members are sick. At the end of the story she changes because she realized she was full of envy and she started being nicer and she got a job so she could help fund her family.

I didn't relate to the character and I don't really know any one but in some movies people are very poor.

RATING: *****
