Sophie write to Great-Uncle Jim and her grandma Abuelita who are dead because she misses them, and she gives them the latest news about the chickens, even if she doesn't expect them to answer. She also writes to Agnes because she wants to learn how to take care of her chickens and starts taking lessons that Agnes sends her. She also writes to Agnes to be sure it's Jim's chickens and how many more chickens she would have to take care of. Sophie also wrote once to people who send catalogs because their flyer said they have unusual chickens, and she asked if they could send a catalog so she would know what makes a chicken unusual.
