Imagine Pobby and Dingan

   Kellyanne have two imaginary friends. First is Pobby and second is Dingan. Pobby is a boy and Dingan is a girl. In my opinion Pobby and Dingan have different personalities in their life. I think Pobby is very outgoing and always exciting person, because Kellyanne explained to Ashmol that Pobby love to collect small opal like Ashmol. However Dingan is one of careful girl every time, because she doesn't want to get interrupt from anyone. Dingan is afraid of many people, so Kellyanne try to protect Dingan more than Pobby. Pobby and Dingan have same age about 12 years old. They are very nice to Kellyanne, and Kellyanne can control Pobby and Dingan. However they always want to play with Kellyanne, and Kellyanne mostly stay with them or play with them.
    Pobby and Dingan don't like any people except Kellyanne, because nobody believe that they are existing in real life. However Kellyanne always talk about Pobby and Dingan, and help them. Kellyanne help them to eat each lollipops to both, and make them comfortable every time for them. I think Pobby is taller than Dingan, because Pobby is boy, and he is very outgoing person, so he play many activities with Kellyanne. He love to swing with Dingan, but Dingan doesn't like a lot. Therefore Kellyanne always play for Pobby when he ride swing by himself. Actually both Pobby and Dingan are looking very nice. Pobby has blue eyes with perfect faces, and Dingan has black eyes with long hair.
   In my opinion Kellyanne love to play with them, so she also imagining Pobby and Dingan every time. Kellyanne doesn't have enough friends to play or understand Kellyanne about her opinions. Therefore she made her own characters only for her, so Pobby and Dingan are Kellyanne's imaginary friends. Only Pobby and Dingan understand Kellyanne and play with Kellyanne. Kellyanne, Pobby, and Dingan are love to stay together and play together every time. Kellyanne can not control her mental when Pobby and Dingan are not with her.

In-class writing

 In my opinion Pobby and Dingan are not real. However in this story many different character mentioned about Pobby and Dingan are like real people. In this story Kellyanne was Ashomal's sister. At first Kellyanne imagined about Pobby and Dingan, and she believed that they are real people.  However narrator Ashomal did not want to believe that Pobby and Dingan are real people. "They never existed. Things that never existed can't be dead right?" Dingan knew Pobby and Dingan are not real people. Also at first Kellyanne's father did not believe Pobby and Dingan. "Aw, sorry, princess. Did I tread on your fairy-friends?" However father asked questions about Pobby and Dingan to Kellyanne. Therefore after that happened father also believed Pobby and Dingan. "Well, I got to admit it was a funny sight seeing my dad heading out holding hands with two invisible people." Ashomal did not believe at all about Pobby and Dingan. His father got angry, because Kellyanne was mad at father. Father left Dingan and Pobby. Father became crazy. I think Pobby and Dingan are just imagination of Kellyanne's invisible friends. Kellyanne did not have many friends. I guess maybe she's lonely with no friends or have many creativity thinking a in her mind. I hope many characters are not become crazy because of about Pobby and Dingan.
