  3. I think it was important because she became one of the greatest healers of the world. So it was important to have healing hands. It was also important because she could help others and make the world a better place.

  4. The image of Clara's healing hands show up again and again because that is her gift. Evidence: "You really do have the healing hands, Clara," said Davie. Everyone has a gift; you just need to find it.

  6. The image of Clara's healing hand keeps showing up. It shows up again and again because the author want's to show the reader how she helps and heals a lot of people. Also she helps all animals and living things, even if they're mean to her. Like she helped her brother walk again even though the doctor thought he was going to die.

  10. The reason the healing hands keep showing up again and again is because it is the main plot in the story. there are four spots where her healing hands are in the story the time she helped the boy when they where sledding. when she was helping the farm animals fell better from sickness. when she helped Davie to walk again. Finally when clara reputation was spreading about her healing hands.

  11. Clara's "healing hands" keep showing up because it symbolizes her special talent. Her special talent is to be able to heal animals and humans like when she healed Davies broken legs and helped that boy who hurt his ankle. It goes along with the theme "You have to work hard yo find your special talent".

  16. I think that she has healing hands because she heals people. For example, she helped/helped heal her brother when his legs were broken. She took in the puppy also. She cared for it, she didn't leave it.

  19. The image of Clara's healing hands keep showing up because, it means that it is important. Also, it means that it is a big part of the conflict, because it shows up at least 4 times in the book. But, it always mentions this after Clara heals someone/something. For example: after Clara heals her brother from his broken legs he says, "Clara, you have the gift of healing in your heart and your hands." and that is when she realized her talent.

  21. I think it keeps popping up because that is what the story is mainly about. In most stories the main parts comes in the story more then once. To add on the author probably wrote that story just because she heard about that she had a special healing power. -Mahlah E. Machesky-

  22. I think they mentioned Clara's healing hands many times because it was like the main point. As it mentioned in the book she became one of the best doctors of her time, when she helped Davie walk and get better she used her healing hands, like a green thumb only for healing, helping with injuries.

  23. Maybe because she realized she could help animals, and then she got interested in medical things, and it got so important that it had to be repeated over and over again. Or maybe since she could help animals and people, she was a very important person, so Patricia Polacco repeated it a lot. Also probably because she was a miracle for the century.

  25. Clara's healing hands keep showing up because her hands are one of the main parts in the book. For example when she uses her hands to heal her brother it shows that her hands may one of the main parts in the book. Her hands show how she is so helpful and they are kind of symbolism for courage and healing.

  26. Clara's healing hands kept repeating again and again because that is what Davie always told her she had and Clara believed it. Also, when Clara healed the puppy and her sister when they were sick and when she healed Davie and her friend when they were hurt, those were all examples that showed that she cared about others. The moral of this story, Clara and Davie Again and Again was that you should always believe and never stop because if you believe, anything's possible.

  27. It says in the text that Clara was gifted. She could heal creatures very well. She also liked to be around animals in general. She also checked out medical books at the library. So she was very good at healing in general, so that's why the healing hands showed up so much.
