Bryce thought that the sycamore tree was old, and that he doesnt know why it is even there. If there is something bothering him, he cant focus and wont stay on task.
Julie has her own chicken coop and always takes good care of her animals. When her beloved dog died, she was devastated. Julie loved the sycamore tree down the street.
