Miss Franny thought
Winn-Dixie was a bear,
so Miss Franny became
friendly with Opal and
told her the "bear
story."
Winn-Dixie needed a
leash and collar, so Opal
got a summer job to pay
for them at Gertrude's
Pets.
Just about everything that
happened to me that summer
happened because of
Winn-Dixie.

Chapter 17 ~ Constructive Response – Symbolism ~ Littmus Lozenge
A litmus test is a test to determine the acidity or
alkalinity of a mixture. The test uses litmus paper.
Litmus paper is covered in a powder made from certain
lichens. The paper is dipped into a mixture. If the paper
turns red, the solution is acidic. If the paper turns blue,
the solution is alkaline.
Name what each character felt when s/he ate a
Littmus Lozenge.
Explain why the author of Because of Winn-Dixie, Kate
DiCamill, named this candy the Littmus Lozenge. Answer
these questions:
#1 Why name a candy a lozenge when it doesn’t contain
medication?

these questions:
#1 Why name a candy a lozenge when it doesn’t contain
medication?
A lozenge is a soothing type of medication. This candy
soothes people’s emotions.
Amanda
her younger brother's drowning
Otis
a need to share music
The Dewberry Brothers
a need for friends
The Preacher
#2 Why name the candy Littmus Lozenge?
a missing wife
The Littmus Lozenge is a combination of both sadness
and sweet which are polar opposites just as litmus paper
tests for opposites (acidic or alkaline).
Miss Franny
a need for love and acceptance
#3 Explain the similarities and differences?
Solutions which are high in acid include lemons,
oranges, and grapefruits. These are sour (similar to the
sadness in the Littmus Lozenge). It’s kind of like making
lemonade, by adding sugar to the lemons, you have a
real treat.
Gloria Dump
regret over past mistakes
