From what I've seen your dad is nothing but trouble. Your mom has warned you for the good. She doesn't want anything bad to happen to you. She cares for your well being and what's good for you. When your dad arrived he seems to want nothing to do with Gem. That one thing I hated to see. How can someone write to one daughter but not the other? He's trying to pull you into something that you won't be able to pull yourself out of. ]]> 2017-05-09 12:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/etempl2020/2abr3ubaw964/wish/170746542 etempl2020 https://padlet.com/etempl2020/2abr3ubaw964/wish/170747515 Sympathy- feelings of pity and sorrow for someone else's misfortune; "Mr. Bergstrom has plain brown eyes, a little bit small for his face, but i could almost always see sympathy in them, like now." (Zarr 10)
Its important because it introducing on of the main characters.
Corridor- a long passage in a building from which doors lead into rooms.
"The dark corridor between the gate and our stairwell always scared me, especially when the gate was left open." (Zarr 12)
I don't know why this word is important 
Slathered- spread or smear (a substance) thickly or liberally.
"It was perfect, as if all of Napoleons craving for Dixie had been slathered onto the sandwich." (Zarr 14)
It just another word that's in the book. I don't know why its important.

2. It's nonfiction because everything in it can actually happen. A mother can start getting addicted to drugs and drink. A father can be kicked out and out of their kids lives. 
3. "The time mom kicked dad out for good, uncle Ivan, moms little brother, came to Seattle to help make sure it happened." (Zarr 48) ]]> 2017-05-09 13:02:31 UTC https://padlet.com/etempl2020/2abr3ubaw964/wish/170748423 etempl2020 https://padlet.com/etempl2020/2abr3ubaw964/wish/170750232

The importance of this picture is one of the main events so far that has happened in this book. The letter was from their father explaining that he's coming back to see them. He tells them that he want a new start.]]> 2017-05-09 13:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/etempl2020/2abr3ubaw964/wish/170750232 etempl2020 https://padlet.com/etempl2020/2abr3ubaw964/wish/170993532  Zarr, Sara.
