The Memory is the string of her mom and dad and the necklace from her grandma. And she might ask jane for the button and that means she might accept jane in her life

# data[].attributes.body
At first Laura thought did not like Jane because she thought that she was replacing her mother but when whiskers broke the memory string she was sad because it shows important times in her moms and dads life.

# data[].attributes.body
Laura used to not trust/like Jane. No one can replace your mom. But soon she trusts Jane and she likes Jane. I think that Jane and the buttons are interconnected because Laura started to like Jane. If it wasn't for Jane then the buttons wouldn't have been fixed. Jane was the one who found the button and Dad offered to cut a button of his uniform but that is not the button that is lost. Jane cares about Laura So Laura starts to like Jane.

Laura keeps these strings and buttons and collects them because they remind her of her loved ones. She keeps it as a memory of them. Her previous family like mom, or grandma, used to do the same.

That is why the buttons are interconnected

# data[].attributes.body
All the buttons on the string were interconnected because they gave her memories of her family.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the buttons show the significance of boths parts of her moms and dads life. For example there was the button from her dads suit from the army. And a pin from her mom's prom dress

# data[].attributes.body
I think the memory string is her family's history because it shows different buttons each with a different memory such as the button from dad's uniform and the button from the nightgown the night her mom died.
When Laura's cat Whiskers breaks the memory string, Laura herself, her dad and her stepmother Jane all become upset and begin looking for it, even at night.
After Jane finds the button, everyone is relieved that they didn't lose an important memory about Laura's parents.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Laura losing the button, and hearing how Jane find it makes Laura rethink her opinion on Jane. I think this is significant because it is the turning point in the story.

# data[].attributes.body
The memory was a symbol of Laura's memories and the necklace keeps her close to those memories.

# data[].attributes.body
The memory string was important to most people in the family because of its age. It shows important parts of the mothers and father.  And when It was broken, they felt upset.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Laura didn't really like Jane because she wanted her mom and not her step mom, until the end when Jane found Laura's necklace. I think that when the memory string broke Laura felt like she was not really feeling connected to those memories anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Laura is a little selfish, because when Whiskers gets up to leave, she makes him stay. Jane is kind, because she helps Laura find the buttons, and the Dad is kind and wants the best for his daughter because he knows that she wants the button, so he offers to cut another button off of his uniform. The memory string has buttons from her favorite people and from her own memories. This is important because when she thinks that she might ask Jane for a button, it means that she accepts Jane and Jane has become an important person in her life.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the cat breaking the string helped laura and jane becoming friends.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the memory string is Laura's way of pictures, because she remembers things by looking at her buttons. I also think that the reason that Laura cared so much about the last button is because Laura had a very strong relationship with her mom, and when she died, Laura was very sad and needed something to remember her, so she took a button. And if she lost that  button, then Laura would have lost that memory of her mom.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the memory string is really important to Jane because it has buttons from all different thinks that were imortant to people in her family and looking at them helps her remember those people.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Laura didn't like Jane at first, because Jane was Laura's step mother. When Laura's memory buttons from her family are missing, Laura's dad suggests that he could replace a missing button. Jane says that it's not replaceable. Laura hears this and thinks about how this connects to her mother.  Laura's mother isn't replaceable.  I think this is when Laura starts to take a liking to Jane. This is where the turning point takes place.

I think that the memory string could've symbolized Laura's mom and dad. For example, there was a button from Laura's dad, and a pin from her mother's prom dress. The necklace keeps her close to those memories.

# data[].attributes.body
the memory sting is a time line of their mom's life

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Laura didn't really like Jane, up until Jane wanted to help find Laura's memory beads that night. Now I think Laura likes her step mom a little more.

# data[].attributes.body
The necklace had been handed from her great grandma to her grandma to her mom then to Jane. I also think that Laura doesn't really care about other peoples feeling so she should have more empathy. There were quite a lot of buttons. The last one was from her mom's sleeping dress, it was because her mom died.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the memory string showed the different parts of her mom and dads life. Because there was a button from her moms prom dress and there was a button from her moms wedding dress, and there was a button from her dads suit. And the last button was the button from the nightgown the night her mom died.
