    Abdul Gazazi is mean because he lied obout turning his do into a duck i'm pretty shore that he lied and he was so mean to talk about dogs like that and thats what dogs do anyway so I think that he should be more nicer to dogs and as mean at all so I think he should be nicer to dogs and people cause he was very mean to the kid

    1. Something that is mysterious is the dog Fritz, might have turned into a duck. But it could have been a trick. I feel like it is a very mysterious story. I like it.
    3. The way I think Fritz got the hat is the duck flew away and dropped it at Miss. Hersters House. Maybe,Fritz caught it! That would be a smart duck. Also a smart dog!

    #2.Analyzing- Abdul Gasazi is a tricky man. He made up a great and mysterious trick ,but I think the trick was real.

    2.Abdul Gasazi's garden is magical! I would love to have that garden. Because there is always a place to hide. You could never find someone in hide and go seek.

    He does not like dogs at all. I know because he has a sign up on his gate. Also because he said he turned fritz into a dog.

    3.I think Mr Gasazi sent Fritz home in another derection. Then when Alan came he(Mr Gasazi)gave Alan a ordonary duck. Then the duck grabbed Alan's hat and dropped the hat in Ms. Hesters yard and flew back. Or maybe the duck was a controled robot.

    She says that Abdul Gasazi tricked Alan because nobody can turn a dog into a duck. Yes I do agree with her. Do you?

    A. for Q. 3. Maybe the duck droped it.

    2/12/2009 9:25:39 AM
  • Claire Mansfield

    A. for Q. 5. I think she is right because the duck could have droped it in the yard.

    I do not agree with miss.Hester because how could Fritz have the hat?

    I think dragon island is cooler than abdul gasazis garden because it has dragons.

    2/13/2009 9:32:18 AM
  • chris

    I think he really was turned into a duck and the spell only lasted for an hour.

    Well both things are crazy.They are strange and they both have creatures in the story.

    Yes i do because a person can not change a dog into a duck.Fritz probily found a way out of the garden and ran home.

    #3.Because the duck flew off with Alan's hat but he turned back into Fritz and landed as Fritz but he still had Alan's hat.

    #4.NO.If Fritz pulled me into Gasazi's garden,I would pick him up and run back to Miss Hester's house.

    2.I think Mr Gasazi is greedy , clever.But most of all I think he's just plain old mean.If I were him I would not play a trick on Alan.I would say ,``Don`t let your dog in my garden. 5.Mrs.Hester said you wre tricked because know one could turn Fritz into a duck. Also because Fritz was already there. He was there safe and fine. I think Mrs.Hester had a wierd feeling.

    I think Abdul Gasazi is very clever.Because he plays tricks on people.But he might not have played a trick on Alan.

    4. No I don't think Alan will go back. And no I would not go if I had the chanes

    2/17/2009 9:33:12 AM
  • chloe whitaker

    Organizing-i think abdul Gasazi is mysteious, because you never know what is coming next

    I think miss hester is right.Because people can't really turn dogs into ducks.He just pulled a trick on Alan.

    This is how I think Fritz ended up with Alan's
    hat.The duck flew away with Alan's hat.He flew
    over Miss Hester's house when Alan left.Then
    then duck dropped Alan's hat and Fritz caught it
    and dragged it up the front porch.

    Miss Hester thinks Mr. Gasazi playde a trick on
    Alan because nobody can turn dogs into ducks.For
    example,Mr. Gasazi could find out what Fritz is like and find a duck just like him.Then make Alan believe it was Fritz.He's retired anyway so
    it,d be kind of hard toturn him into a duck.I
    also agree.
