In the story Virgil’s feelings change from hating the garden to wanting it to work. In the beginning he had to work hard. In paragraph one Virgil says he “was done with fifth grade forever. I was planning on sleeping in till noon to celebrate.” This shows that the boy had other plans. His dad woke him up when it was still dark to work in the garden. Also, when they were in the garden it was hard work. It says, “the ground was packed so hard the shovel bounced off like a pogo stick.” This shows that it was hard to dig there. Also there was a lot of trash like “bolts and screws and pieces of brick.” This is hard work to pick this up so the boy was probably tired. Later the boy feels “embarrassed” because they planted “so much ground.” His dad wanted to make money by planting lettuce. When his old 3rd grade teacher came and his Dad lied, the boy put his head down. This shows he was embarrassed. In the end, the boy changes. He says, “the garden was like having a new baby in the family.” This shows he is more attached to it and wants it to work. He does get angry at his dad and the garden when the lettuce doesn’t come up because it’s too hot. On the last line he prays for the lettuce. “save our lettuce.” This shows he wants it to work out.

Virgil’s feelings toward the garden changed in the story. In the beginning he did not like the garden. He wanted to sleep in “till noon” to celebrate the end of fifth grade. But his father got him up when it was still dark. When he worked in the garden it was hard. Paragraph 2 the author writes, “the tip of my shovel bounced of it.” There was broken glass and they had to pick it out. Later on the boy feels bad and embarrassed because they picked such a big plot to grow lettuce to make money. His dad also lies about it and this makes the boy ashamed. Next, the boy feels angry about the garden and at his dad because the lettuce doesn’t grow. He wanted to get his 18 speed bike but they planted at the wrong time when it was too hot. In the end the boy wants the garden to grow so his dad will be happy. He whispers to the picture of a girl that looks like the Goddess of crops from Greek myths. He says, “save our lettuce.” This shows he really wants it to grow.
