WK1-Group 2-Every Living Thing-CISS-What is the connection between chapter 1 to 4?

In the story Every Living Thing, the connection I can see is that the human beings are interacting with the animals and that made the human being's life change. One reason is that in the story chapter "Slower Than the Rest", Leo's turtle, Charlie, became Leo's best friend. His love for Charlie made him want to use him for his presentation at school. This won him an award and for the first time. Leo was feeling fast. Charlie changed Leo's life by making him feel as good as the others.

The second reason is in the story chapter "Retired", when there was a retired teacher who bought a dog to keep her company. Over time, through the dog, she was reconnected to school children. In this way, the dog changed her life.

The third reason is in the story chapter "Boar Out There". Jenny used to think that the boar was mean and dangerous, but when she came face to face with the boar, she realized that it was scared of her and the blue jays. This changes Jenny's life by making her feel sorry for the boar that he lives in fear.

The final reason is in the story chapter "Papa's Parrot". Mr. Tillian's son used to come to his father's shop everyday after school but when he reached high school, he stopped doing that. That made his dad feel lonely. So, he bought a parrot to talk to. That changed Mr. Tillian's life by having some company from someone. This makes me realize that animals can change human being's life.
