Setting
The story takes place during the school year. Omri has to worry about if Little Bear is hungry, injured, or dehydrated. If it was the summer, he would be home with the plastic figures so he would be able to take care of them, so that’s why it takes place during the school year. This time period is important to the story because this has to take place during the school year.
Omri
One of the most important characters in the story is Omri. The characters main goal was to find out how the plastic toys came to life when he puts them into his cupboard. He also has to keep his real-life toys a secret to himself and his friend Patrick. He had to be the main character because he was responsible for the Indian and the story was revolving around Omri.
Little Bear One minor character in the story is Little Bear. He is a Native American.
The main goal of Little Bear was that no one would discover him. He was a minor character because if he wasn’t in the story, then there wouldn’t be a reason for Omri to get in trouble at school.
Problem/Solution
The biggest problem in the story was keeping the Indian and cowboy alive. This was a problem because if they get injured it could be hard to keep them from dying,
because they are so little and don’t have a lot of blood. The problem was solved when Omri wanted to put Little Bear, Bright Stars, and Boone into the cupboard so they
would go back to their real homes. Omri figured out that it must be the key that makes the magic happen.
Scalps- the skin on a persons head. “Little Bear kill 30 scalps.”
Gesticulating- making hand gestures.“Omri was pleased to see them having a conversation, they were gesticulating
with their hands.” Perhaps- maybe.
“Perhaps- what if there was not enough air for him in that cupboard.” Mumbled- talking quietly. “ ’I’m terribly sorry Little Bear,’ he mumbled.” Disgusting- very gross. “Omri found it eventually in an old knapsack, covered with disgusting bits of baked beans, dry as hard cement.”
