An experience I share with a character might be when I help my family with certain things like when Jeanette helps her family

In what ways is your family similar or different from those in the book?

My family isn't similar to the book but maybe when we have no food in the house then it's similar.

What did you learn about a character or group of people that you have not personally experienced?

I learned that Jeanette is very independent. Shes very responsible and can be trusted , shes very brave and will grow up to be very intelligent.

I choose this quote because the fact she flew out the car and her parents didn't notice until minutes later was shocking to me.

This book gives me mixed emotions because it's happy sometimes. The book also makes me sad in a way from the way her parents argue. it is a book with full of emotions because its happy but also kinda sad.

Choose a significant event that occurs in your reading. What do you think the author's purpose was in telling that part of the story? I think the authors purpose was to show in the reading that when families argue maybe you shouldn't hang your wife out of a window.

Is there a relationship between the beginning and the end of the story? in the beginning Rose Mary was careless and didn't care much about anything but more into the book she cares more about when her kids have nothing to eat. There's no food in the house because Rex spends all their money on booze but he doesn't wanna admit he spends all their money. Rose Mary gets a job to keep food where they are living for her kids.
