My favorite part in the book is on pages 193-194 when Jeannette was home alone when a man from child welfare comes to her home. This is my favorite part because of the way twelve year old Jeannette handles the situation, i'm sure her parents appreciated that. She knew exactly what the mans intentions were, she told him exactly what he wanted to hear, and technically was not lying.
2- create three opened ended questions 155-213
On page 192 Jeannette talks about her and her friend Dinitia's pool adventure, Jeannette makes the statement, "I'd never felt so clean." How do you think this made Jeannette feel about her way of life?
How has Jeannette life changed since entering high school?
How do you think Jeannette felt on page 213 when her dad seemed more interested in the amount of money they had made vs her safety?
3- How do Jeannette and Brian get revenge on Ernie Goad?
Jeannette and Brian get back at Ernie Goad by setting up a catapult at the top of, Little Hobart Street. They then proceeded to ambush Ernie and his friends with rocks.
4- Maureen is spared from the hunger that her siblings suffer because her friends parents basically take care of her needs and make sure she's healthy.
5- Brian's pet iguana freezes to death because they couldn't afford heat that winter.
6- Erma dies.
7- Jeannette and Brian find a diamond ring under a log in the yard.
8- Jeannette tries to make her own braces.
9- Jeannette feels like she is failing Maureen because she felt like she wasn't keeping her promise of protecting her.
