The color that represents Circus Mirandus is red.The color is red because throughout the whole story, Jenny and Micah’s goal is to save Grandpa Ephriam from his impending death. Red symbolizes death and danger. Also, when Jenny and Micah first arrived at the Circus, they both pointed out the big red tent. Overall, the color is red because it represents Micah’s journey on saving Grandpa Ephriam.

The type of conflict in Circus Mirandus is a character vs. character. This conflict is between Aunt Gertrudis and Micah. For example, Aunt Gertrudis had a strict rule against seeing Grandpa Ephriam. During the morning, when Aunt Gertrudis leaves every morning, Micah is ordered not to see Ephriam. This angers Micah as he knows that Ephriam won't be around much longer and he wants to spend time with him.

My opinion on Circus Mirandus so far is mostly positive. One thing I didn't enjoy so far was the first few chapters. They gave out little information, and nothing was established. But, the chapters I've read currently have been getting more interesting. For example, the reader is introduced to Lightbender, Chintzy, and Jenny Mendoza. These charters have made the book more enjoyable and suspenseful.

In Circus Mirandus, the main character, Micah, is sneaky. For example, when Aunt Gertrudis makes him tea, he spits it out when she wasn't looking. Furthermore, when Aunt Gertrudis leaves he'll talk to Grandpa Ephriam. Typically, Micah isn't allowed to see him because Ephriam is old and needs to alone. In conclusion, Micah is sneaky because he does stuff when no one is looking.
