Inside of his will he has stipulated that if something should happen to his son, his only heir, then the bulk of his estate, which includes $200K, will go to his sister's first born child, which just so happens to be Doctor Thorne's niece Mary. Doctor Thorne spends the bulk of the remaining chapters going back and forth debating on whether he should tell Roger about this development.]]> 2023-09-11 14:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2697556508 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2697556509 The way Trollope continues to add dimension to the story through multiple plot lines always impresses me, but this one in particular I was surprised by. I knew that Mary would need to inherit in some way so that she could be with her obvious future man, Frank Gresham the younger, but I truly did not know how it was going to happen. I am curious to know if Roger Scatcherd, her unknown uncle, will come to be known to her or if he will die before she or Doctor Thorne can make him aware of the situation.]]> 2023-09-11 14:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2697556509 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2697556511 Doctor Thorne's internal struggle in regard to the future well-being of his niece and the seemingly underhanded way it might occur contributes to his upstanding character.]]> 2023-09-11 14:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2697556511 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2704339254 The story takes place in a middle school volleyball game. A nerdy, antisocial high school student named Birnbaum had just struck one of the more popular girls of the school named Sloan "Selfie" St. Clair, was making a scene on the gym floor after being hit with a volleyball. Knowing that she had just hit one of the prettiest girls in school, along with her friends beside her, she instantly knew she was about to get bullied. We are able to tell from just the first chapter that Birnbaum is considered a "nerd" in the story that is easily picked on, because Selfie's friend would try and intimidate her and shame her because she wasn't as pretty as the other girls. ]]> 2023-09-14 14:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2704339254 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2706035903 My initial reaction to the beginning of the book was surprising because it started off in the middle of a complicated situation between Birnbaum and Selfie, along with her friends. I am curious to know if Birnbaum and Selfie with her group of friends have any past history together, as it seems this is not the first time she has been bullied by the group before.]]> 2023-09-15 14:41:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2706035903 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2708953402 Birnbaum being bullied and letting it happen helps to create character and sets off a bases of what the story could potentially be about and acts as a foundation.]]> 2023-09-18 14:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2708953402 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2710988920 In this chapter we get a more in-depth analysis of the friends and people that Selfie surrounds herself with. Birnbaum is hesitating to go up and apologize to Selfie because she is with her friends and the "pretty boys" in the school. She is encouraged by her friends Rosa and Prezbo. She eventually muscles the courage and go apologize to her and does. However, just as Selfie was about to speak to Birnbaum, a sudden "crisis" occurs and the popular kids around Selfie shot towards her aid and care.]]> 2023-09-19 14:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2710988920 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2710992470 This chapter leaves me very confused as to what in the world happened to Selfie she that made such a big deal out of.

She is a polar opposite of Selfie, and is described as a Tomboy. Birnbaum was asked by Selfie herself to obtain her shopping bag from the Principal's office, after it has been confiscated because she was talking in class. This caused great concern for Rosa, because it seemed as if Birnbaum was becoming more of Selfie's maid. ]]> 2023-09-28 14:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2724794096 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2732197381 This chapter starts off with Birnbaum's main objective being to stay away from Selfie as much as possible. But as a series of unfortunate events occurred in the multi-purpose room Birnbaum was passing by, Selfie became trapped under a bundle of clothing. Birnbaum, unaware of who was stuck under the pile, rushed into help only to find that the person stuck in danger was Selfie, the girl that she believed hated her because of the incident that happened in the first chapter with the volleyball. After a blast of apologies and Birnbaum showing her anger, we are revealed that Selfie is not actually mad at Birnbaum or hates her, and that they even have conversation and connect with each other.]]> 2023-10-04 14:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2732197381 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2732199554 This chapter is important to the plot because it helps build character in Selfie, and we are able to see a connection between Selfie, the main antagonist it seemed like through the first chapters, and the main protagonist, which is Birnbaum.]]> 2023-10-04 14:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2732199554 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2732200956 I was extremely surprised to see Birnbaum and Selfie have a connection. The readers are taught to believe that Selfie disliked Birnbaum because the way she acted in the previous chapters, as well as her friends and how they all despise Birnbaum, but she is actually over the whole situation.]]> 2023-10-04 14:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2732200956 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2734064301 In this chapter we slowly start to see a sort of parasitic relationship between Birnbaum and Selfie, and it seems as if Selfie is trying to get Birnbaum to do small things so that way she will eventually have her and use her. This could be a sign of manipulation.]]> 2023-10-05 14:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2734064301 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2734069501 2023-10-05 14:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2734069501 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2734080745 The way that Rosa explained to Birnbaum that her little acts of service towards Selfie is making her look like Selfie's maid, and I think she might be on to something with that statement. I feel like that this could turn into Selfie somehow using Birnbaum to get what she wants.]]> 2023-10-05 14:44:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2734080745 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2741951586 Birnbaum runs up to Selfie, where she is surrounded by the regular group of classmates that Selfie is always around. As she goes up however, the group lets out a hiss of surprise, as they are confused to see Selfie and Birnbaum talking again. The reason Birnbaum went up to Selfie was to give her a silk roped handle bag. Even though she had done a Selfie a favor and payed up to injuring her, she was upset about the fact that she would not be able to have any more contact with Selfie because she was too "weird" and not like the rest of her friend group (at least so she thinks.) Later on in the chapter Selfie gets into a golfcart incident and crashes the cart in the lawn of Rosa's house, where Birnbaum and Rosa were hanging out at the time. They both let Selfie in and provide/take care of her, and it is revealed to us Selfie's highly expensive lifestyle as she begins to ask for items that a typical household would not carry.]]> 2023-10-11 14:41:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2741951586 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2743757290 Im just really curious about the "road rage" Selfie had with a golf cart. The entire roof of the golf cart had come off and it is basically totaled, all due to her road rage. I also wonder why Selfie didn't just leave the house and actually stayed for provisions from Selfie and Birnbaum. ]]> 2023-10-12 14:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2743757290 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2743762128 In this chapter we get a closer look at what Birnbaum does outside of school and where she spends time. We also get a glimpse of a relationship between Selfie and Birnbaum starting to collide, as this is the 3rd incident now that they have interacted with each other. While Selfie is being taken care of at Rosa's house, readers get an even deeper view of just how expensive Selfie is, asking for LaCroix Water and Lavender Bubble Tea, which is something that not may regular households carry.]]> 2023-10-12 14:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2743762128 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2748967560 This chapter starts off with Reinhardt, which is Selfie's family Chauffeur, driving Selfie and Birnbaum to Sheltering Oaks, which is a country club. Their main purpose was to track down fashion members. As they entered the country club, Selfie's friends were surprised to see that Birnbaum acutally showed up with her, and they all gasped. Selfie stood up for Birnbaum however and explain to her friends that she was there as a guest of hers. As they begin to continue walking Birnbaum takes in all of the amazing features of the country club and is very intrigued by what she sees.]]> 2023-10-16 14:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2748967560 tjb1223 https://padlet.com/tjb1223/qegtdvx8jz987d4h/wish/2748989814 Im starting to think that maybe Selfie actually thinks of Birnbaum as a friend and sees through her differences between her.
