I   Think  the theme of The Tiger Rising is Friendshp. I think this because Rob is nice to everybody. The new girl Sistine was being made fun of and Rob steps in to help. Even though he is picked on and made fun of he dosen't act back. He acts like nothing is bothering him. Ali Bucher Theme Detector

Jackie Long Poet Rob was sad when his mother died,

His father told him not to cry,

He kept the tiger on his mind,

He couldn't leave the thought behind,

He was bullied by Billy and Norton,

Who would hurt Rob Horton?

Rob's rash on his legs was already enough,

Standing up for Sistine made him tough,

And all the Kids thought he was not cool.

**// The Tiger Rising //** Character Analyzer By: Madi Feuerbach The character I choose to analyze was Rob. He is a very interesting character and has some troubles and issues with school and his family. You can see that in the book, Rob was picked on and he has a rash on his legs. Many people think is contagious so he has to stay out of school for a week or so. He lives in a hotel called The Kentucky Star even though they live in Florida and he lives there with just his dad because his mother died. He meets a new girl named Sistine and thinks she is somewhat crazy at first. He is a good character with a heart that can store emotions and never let out. I believe he is a good character and I liked learning about him in this book.

The Tiger Rising Connector Well Rob was a nerd and I connect to that because at the beginning of the year no one knew who I was. I am also much like Sistine. I am like her because we are both very tough on the outside but on the inside we get broken down. I am also like Willie May, the maid. I am like her because she loves giving advice and so do I. Those are only some of the people that I connect to in the story.
