i Think that they treat Mirabella like an outcast because she is not learning as fast as the other girls. Like when they say she can not even undo the twist on bread basket they are referring to her inability to learn.

2025-09-25 21:34:07 UTC

she repeats this because the girls came from crawling on all fours to walking and the shoe will remind them of this method to walk instead of reverting back to them walking on the floor

2025-09-29 16:00:34 UTC

I think they treat Maribella like an outcast because Shes not adapting as fast as the others for example all the others were on stage 3 and 4 while she was still a wolf.

2025-09-29 16:01:07 UTC

To try to remember she is human.

2025-09-29 16:01:14 UTC

They treat Mirabella like an outcast because she wasn't like the other girls and she wasn't learning at the same speed as everyone else.

2025-09-29 16:01:23 UTC

The sisters treat Mirabella like an outcast because she can not learn as fast as the other girls.

2025-09-29 16:01:33 UTC

They treat Mirabelle like an outcast because she is the youngest and cant change her ways in the new environment. She still acts like her old wolf self while everyone is acting like humans

2025-09-29 16:01:48 UTC

They treat Mirabella like an outcast because she made no progress on being human.

2025-09-29 16:02:04 UTC

They believe they will never see mirabell again because they had taken her away and had left no trace of her.

2025-09-29 16:02:49 UTC

Claudette keeps repeating "shoes on feet" because she is trying to remind herself that she is supposed to be human now and shouldn't act like a wolf.

2025-09-29 16:02:54 UTC

She repeats it because when she forgets to act like a human and wants to wolf out, she says it to remind herself to be human.

2025-09-29 16:02:56 UTC

Claudette constantly repeats the phrase "shoes on feet" so that she remembers to wear her shoes on her feet. If she doesn't repeat this, she will probably not remember to act like a human and will wolf out.

2025-09-29 16:03:12 UTC

I think that the sisters treat Mirabella as an outcast because she isn't learning to be a human as fast as the others. When the story is talking about when she can't even keep her shoes or clothes on, they are hinting that she isn't as far along as the others.

2025-09-29 16:03:30 UTC

I think they treat Mirabella like a outcast because she was still on stage 1 and she was still acting like a wolf. For example "Mirabella would still run after the bicycles, growling out our old names. HWRAA! GWARR! TRRRRRR! We pedaled faster" (Russell 50).

2025-09-29 16:03:53 UTC

The sisters think they will never see Maribella because she never howled back.

2025-09-29 16:04:06 UTC

The sisters believe that they will never see Mirabella ever again because she does not learn like the other girls and will get taken out of the program.

2025-09-29 16:04:08 UTC

The pack knew she was gone because they knew that she would have been expelled after what she did at the ball.

2025-09-29 16:04:20 UTC

All of the sister believe they will not see Mirabelle again because she was put back into the woods and they do a howl for her and they dont get a howl back

2025-09-29 16:04:24 UTC

They think they won't see Mirabella again because she left without saying goodbye. And when the yelled out to her she never responded.

2025-09-29 16:04:31 UTC

she repeats it because she reminds herself Shes human.

2025-09-29 16:04:31 UTC

Because they think they won't see Mirabella again with no trace of where she goes.

2025-09-29 16:04:38 UTC

I think the sisters treat mirabella like an outcast because she's not on the same level like the others. - paragraph 63: "Jeanette frowned. 'You are a late boomer, Mirabella! Usually, everything's begun to make more sense by Month Twelve at the latest."

2025-09-29 16:05:13 UTC

She repeats this over and over again because she was raised waking on all fours, and one can assume they didn't wear shoes. So she has to remember how to stand and to keep the shoes on. And in the text she repeats that her clothes are itchy and uncomfortable so it makes sense.

2025-09-29 16:05:21 UTC

because she forgets to act and remain a human, but when she has her wolf moment's, she has to remind and catch herself that she has to stay and be human.

2025-09-29 16:05:38 UTC

They treat Mirabella like an outcast because she is not learning as fast as the others. Mirabella is at a stage below all of the others, which is okay, but she is still treated like that. for example, "The pack was worried about mirabella" This shows that the pack is worried about mirabella because she is a leval below everyone.

2025-09-29 16:05:58 UTC

I think they treat mirabella like a outcast because shes not leaning as fast as the other girl for an example she was a stage below them.

2025-09-29 16:06:06 UTC

she was treated badly, and like and outcast, due to her thinking speed, and the fact that she couldn't learn as quick as the other girls could when being teached.

2025-09-29 16:06:45 UTC

They treat Mirabella like a outcast because she is lower than everyone in turning into a human. They don't want to be seen with her.

2025-09-29 16:06:57 UTC

They treat Mirabella like an outcast due to the fact she isn't learning quick like the other girls are. She isn't adapting so they've seen her like the odd one out because she can't learn to be a human.

2025-09-29 16:07:08 UTC

Claudette repeats it because she has to remember and remind herself that she's human, so that she doesn't forget.

2025-09-29 16:07:41 UTC

She repeats "shoes on feet" throughout the story because it reminds her to be a human and to keep working hard. For example, "I felt hot, oily tears squeezing out of the red corners of my eyes. Shoesonfeet! I barked at myself. I tried again."

2025-09-29 16:08:06 UTC

They treated her like a outcast because she wasn't trying in the school. Cluadet says it in the book

2025-09-29 16:08:09 UTC

They believe they wont see her again because after they howled she didn't respond.

2025-09-29 16:08:12 UTC

She repeats this because the girls where crawling on the floor before when they where raised. They reaped Shoes on Feet because they are trying to remind herself that she is supposed to be human.

2025-09-29 16:08:16 UTC

She repeats this because the shoes remind her that she is supposed to be human. With them off she goes back to her wolf ways.

2025-09-29 16:08:21 UTC

The pack believes that they'll never see Mirabella again due to the fact that once they all howled, to communicate with Mirabella (which was her strong suit) she did not reply. And there is no trace left of her.

2025-09-29 16:08:40 UTC

She repeats shoes on feet to remind herself to act like a human girl.

2025-09-29 16:09:11 UTC

I think they treat Marabella like an outcast because she still has yet to/never have become like a human. Just like how at the end of the story how everyone, even including claudette who said they appreciated Mirabella's help, yelled at her.

2025-09-29 16:09:19 UTC

I think that the sisters treat Mirabella like an outcast because she is adapting very slowly if any progress is being made at all. For example, "She'd chewed through her restraints and tackled me from behind, barking at unseen cougars, trying to shield me with her tiny body" (Russel, 2006).

2025-09-29 16:09:19 UTC

They treat her like an outcast because she cant adapt like them. Like when they were riding around and went faster to get away from her.

2025-09-29 16:09:50 UTC

The sisters believe they'll never see Mirabella again because they know how she is and what's she's capable of.

2025-09-29 16:09:51 UTC

They say that they will never see Mirabella again because she has not changed and she is still on stage 1 making her stand out.

2025-09-29 16:10:48 UTC

Claudette may possibly be repeating the "shoes on feet" phrase throughout the story because it tells her what to do and act "normal" such as at the middle/end when she quickly says "shoesonfeet" to reminder what to do.

2025-09-29 16:10:55 UTC

The people took her away and they think they are never going to see her again.

2025-09-29 16:11:13 UTC

She tries to remember that shes human by telling herself "shoes on feet" in the story

2025-09-29 16:11:19 UTC

So she rembers to act human

2025-09-29 16:11:34 UTC

they think they wont see her again

2025-09-29 16:13:16 UTC

They believe they may never see marabella again due to her being an outcast to the humans, and one from the wolves, who believed she could change. This could be believed by when the church shows claudette the slideshow of something along the lines of "You will be an outcast to both species, humans and wolves"

2025-09-29 16:13:29 UTC

The sisters treat Mirabella like an outcast for a few reasons. Mirabella is not trying hard to learn like the others. Mirabelle also doesn't want a new life; she doesn't want to change. She wants to stay a wolf in the woods like she's used too. Example: Mirabella tried to steal the bread from Jeannette while feeding the ducks like it was a game.

2025-09-29 16:24:59 UTC

The sisters believe they will never see Mirabella again, because she is wild and they have become human. This piece of text supports, "We racd outside into the full sunlight, knowing full well that our sister had been turned loose, that we'd never find her."

2025-09-29 16:27:44 UTC

They treat Mirabella like an outcast because she isn't learning as fast as her sisters are learning. So, they are treating her differently.

2025-09-29 16:28:42 UTC

Claudette repeats this so she knows she is human and not a wolf anymore.

2025-09-29 16:30:51 UTC

The believe they'll never see their sister Mirabella again because she never responded back to them after they howled.

2025-09-29 16:33:04 UTC

Claudette repeats this to herself throughout the story because she needs to remind herself to stay human/act human. This helps her get used to it. Example: When Claudette was anxious at the party, she was going to start acting like a wolf, so she repeatedly whispered "Shoesonfeet" to herself so she didn't lash out and reminded herself to stay calm.

2025-09-29 16:38:46 UTC

The sisters believe they will never see Mirabella again because they knew she hated the school and wanted her old life back. The sister knew Mirabella would have to get expelled anyone's the second after she jumped on Claudettes back.

2025-10-01 00:21:12 UTC

She had to keep repeating "shoes on feet" because she has to rember to stay human, for example "... shoes on feet! i barket at myse;f. I tried again." This shows that she is remindering herself to be human with these words.

2025-10-01 00:23:31 UTC

they think they will never see Mirabllla again because she never howweled back/ never responded to the howel.

2025-10-01 09:55:03 UTC

Claudette repeats the mantra "shoes on feet" to ensure that she will remember to act human, and not a wild wolf that doesn't wear shoes. For example, "I felt hot, oily tears squeezing out of the red corners of my eyes. Shoes on feet! I barked at myself. I tried again" (Russel, 2006).

2025-10-01 14:03:10 UTC

The sisters believe they will never see Mirabella again, because when the group of wolves howled into the woods to see if Mirabella would howl back (since she always howled), the group heard no response. For example, "A low roar rippled through us and surged up and up, disappearing into the trees. I listened for an answering howl from Mirabella, heart thumping-what if she heard us and came back? But there was nothing" (Russel, 2006).
