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

  
  

  My family is similar to the book because there was a time when I was little we were broke but it was just me and my mom, we lived in one room apartment. I never jugde my for the way we lived. I do love my mom and its always been me and her.

  
  

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

I learned that Jeanntte is very like caring and she doesn't give up on people. She is very understanding about others and she is herself. She is like the light of her family.

the word is "Family" I say that because the whole book so far is about Jeannette memories and its mostly about her and her family. There Poor yeah but there about family, their there for each other and the kids also don't judge on reasons why they are broke.

1). "is everything okay, dad? I asked. Is someone after us? "don't you worry" Dad said " you leave that to me. Don't I always take care of you?" ( page 17)

This book makes me feel like I can relate someway because it reminds me of my MOM, She has always had my back and never tired to tell me the bad things when they would happen. All I remember from my childhood is it was so fun and it was always me and my mom.

2.  Choose an event that happens in the reading that reveals a little bit about the author’s personality. Explain the passage and what has been revealed to you . 

A event that happens in the reading that reveasl a little bit about the authors personality is how she bruns tinker bell head and thinks shes more beautiful then ever burnt. That to me shows a lot, because no kid just bruns dolls because yeah. Its maybe because they live a rough life.

3. What tone and mood are created at various parts of the work?  Provide examples.

The mood that are created at various parts are like fun but sad to other people. For explame if some other person heard about this they would think so bad about it but Jeannette didnt see anything wrong with it because she grew by being independent.

1. How do economic conditions determine the characters' lives?

Economic conditions determine the characters lives becasue they lived poor to the point they had to eat sugar with unsalted butter. Her mom works and get money but doesn't spend it on her kids or anything but She does buy art suppriles for her. They move to there grandmas because she died and Jeannettes family were able to move in and it was a big house with 14 rooms (I think).

2. How are class differences presented in the work? Are the characters aware or unaware of the economic and social forces that affect their lives?

   The work classes are shown in the book, it shows that the Walls family is the bottom class. The characters are unware of the econmic and social forces that afftect their lives becasue it doesnt seem like they really care becasue they are jsut living their lives as it comes to them.

3. Does the work criticize class structure?

   Yes, becasue even though the book is about a personal narrative rather than direct it shows the impact of poverty in families .

"Grandmas Dead" Rosemary said, now we have a place to live"

The grandma died at the age of 60 and the reason i choose this quote is becasue it just shows that the Walls family did not care. They were more exiced about having a new place to stay that, and that was also paid. It just shows a lot, it shows they dont care, they live a bad life, it also shows Rosemary and Relx dont care to work for their children. They dont care and lets life live how it comes to them.

the word is "careless" the reason for that is becasue the Walls family are very careless. They dont care about paying bills. They live in a dream, they don't care about anything. They run away from their problems for exmaple they took Jeannette from the hospital when she burned herself, Rex took her from the hospital becasue they couldnt pay for it anymore. Instend of going to the doctor and telling them the truth and telling them is there anything else they could do or make something work out. But they ran away again and went on a road trip.

My family is very differnet from the Walls family becasue my family did grow up a litte poor, but they never ran away or when a family member passed we never took their things or took over. We are very caring and if we are poor that doesnt matter to us becasue we have each other and we are very truthful to each other. I also realte to the Walls family, its a nice thing when a parent keeps the abult stuff away from you, but when your a little kid you also want to help. My mom used to cry because there was times were she couldnt buy food or sertene things, as a kid all i wanted to do is give her the world so i told my school and they helped us a lot with giving us food and giving us things. That helped my mom save so much money. Now that im older i want to work and give her half of my pay check becasue things are a little hard right now but since i can work I'm able to give her more. :)
