Character Interview with Dot Gale from Bart Baker's After Ozz
Thank you for your interview, Dot Gale. Can you tell us your story?
Well, I was thrown into something fantastical. To save my brother, Ozz. But it was much bigger than that and with the help of three friends I made through this adventure, I took down an evil Empress and righted the wrong against our country perpetrated by my Aunt.
What would I love the most about you?
I’m loyal and I’m determined.
What would I hate the most about you?
I sometimes react before I’ve thought things through. But if I did, I probably wouldn’t do some of the things I do. I’d be too scared.
Where do you go when you are angry?
My favorite place is the barn on our family farm. There’s something very special about it for me. Reminds me of people I love and helps me cope when I have something weighing on my mind.
What makes you laugh out loud?
Really stupid jokes. My friends tell them all the time.
What is in your refrigerator right now?
Apples, milk, and I keep the peanut butter in there. Most people don’t.
What is your most treasured possession?
My family and friends.
Do you think the author portrayed you accurately?
I think he portrayed me honestly. I’m young. I’m growing. I think he captured that, even though I don’t come off as perfect. Which is probably good, because I’m not.
What are three must haves when shopping at the grocery store?
Apples. Oatmeal. And extra water – we get bad weather around here.
What is your favorite weather?
Anything but storms. Storms now sort of freak me out.
