Student Writer Instructions:
In A Bad Case of Stripes, our main character has a problem that becomes emotional for her. Camilla loves lima beans, and the other kids tease her about this. Sadly, she chooses not to eat them anymore. She wants so desperately to fit in that she sacrifices her own love of lima beans. Because she won’t be true to herself or her friends, she becomes what people want her to instead of what she wants to.
