  1. My book, Grief Girl, has alot to do with community service. When Erin and Tracy's parents die the community comes together to support the two girls. The community gives them food, money, and flowers. Even though the girls are pretty fed up with all of the things that their house is filling up with they're still great full.

  2. In my book he doesnt really do that much community service. The main thing that he does, is that he helps paint a house. It takes him multiple days, and he doesnt have anyone to help him, except for this one guy who yells at him. That is pretty much it.

    1. So, Riley, does "he" (What is his name?) paint the house voluntarily to help someone else? Can you explain that? Thanks!

    2. His name is Ned, and yes he does do it voluntarily, but he is also tricked into doing it. He does it to help someone but it doesnt really explain who the person is

  6. My book isn't really about community service, it's more of this guy fighting his depression. But his family is really supportive.
