Name all the Animals

Now that I've gotten through chapter 18, I see that thankfully the book isn't as over-written as it was for the first 75 pages. I like the character personalities the author creates in the book. The eccentric old nun, the Physics hating science genius who only has a passion for drawing, the strict math teacher who ironically enjoys the pool. They're lifelike, and not one-dimensional or stereotypical with how they act. I think a lot of people can relate to Terry, who seems to have everything going for her but still can't do what she really wants. From her reluctance to show Allison her work, she either doesn't have much natural talent for art or hasn't yet gotten the confidence in her work to reveal it. While overly talented in the area of science, she doesn't use that ability because she isn't happy with it.
