Destiny's Gift and making A Difference connects to James and the giant peach because in James and the giant peach,James and the bugs help work together to lift the peach up with the seagulls.It is just like how Making a difference and Destiny's Gift help the community by working together by rasising money and selling things.

My claim is that destinys favorite place is the bookstore. I think that because she is always there and when Mrs. Wade said that they might have to close the bookstore down she stated crying and she said that she thought she would not ever stop crying!!! My evidence is that Destiny was trying to come up with alot of ideas ,so, that means she would do everything she could to stop the bookstore from closing down. She persiveared through it and she was motivated too

These stories are connected with eachother because in the first storie "destinys gift" destiny waas trying to give confedence destiny loves this store and the person who owns it. But when she was trying to figure out a way to help she makes yhings happen and was trying to help keep this store alive. But in the other story "making a diffrence" they were all trying to help people and make a differece there these both to storys are trying to help build up connfedent for things.
