Lizzie, Turner, and the Sea Breeze

In Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy, Gary Schmidt brings the sea breeze to life through personification. For example:

"But then it fell panting in the hallway, gasping for breath." (p. 23)
"The sea breeze remembered that autumn wasn't far away and began to blow colder." (p. 212)
"The sea breeze found him and twisted around him." (p. 213)


Find other examples of how the sea breeze is brought to life as a character through personification. Provide two examples in your response to this blog post.

EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENT:
Tell the story of Turner and the citizens of Phippsburg and Malaga Island from the viewpoint of the sea breeze, giving the sea breeze a definite characterization and motvation.
