In Chapters 6-8 of Frindle, there are some key events that take place that are starting to shape the story. We first learn that when Nick was a baby, he used the word “gwagala” to mean music since he didn’t yet know how to speak properly. This leads to the creation of the word “frindle” when Nick is in 5th grade.

Think of something that you used to use a different name for when you were younger (or maybe still do). If you can’t remember, ask someone at home if they can remember any. Explain why you think that you used that word instead of the “real” one.
