2. One of the excuses that I make often is, “Oh that’s Marisa’s stuff lying on the floor upstairs.” I often make this excuse because, my room is very messy and I haven’t been cleaning my room because, my parents have been working on my room with like organizing my room because I got rid of my twin bed and got my grandma’s full size bed. I think that excuse is getting old because, my dad makes fun of me now when I say it. :[

3. How I can stop making excuses of my room is istead of watching T.V. and being bored ... I should one of these days actually CLEAN my room. But for me I have better things to do like get outside, until it gets to cold then I will actually clean my room for good. :]

2. I think Peggy became so attached to Tommy because, when it was her last year of high school her parents kind of stopped talked talking to her just to get their divorce finalized. She really didn’t have any friends she also felt invisable to the world. When she started to go out with Tommy she felt like she had a friend forever one that wouldn’t leave her

3. I think the turning point for Peggy was, her Spring Break of freshman year in college when she found out she was pregnant and so she decided to stop sneaking around with Tommy and go back home and attended a local community college. Peggy also decided to tell her mom the real truth about her grades and what she’d actually been doing. Peggy also thought it would be a better idea if she had gotten an abortion. But, you never find out if she does or not.

4. How Peggy changed is by actually going to school and taking it seriously. She didn’t go back to her regular college she came back home and attended a local Community College.

5. What I learned or can learn by Peggy is to take school seriously and don’t skip classes.

2. I could support a friend who went through that trouble because, I would help them get better and I would be there when they needed me. I would do this because, then I know if I had something wrong they would always be there for me.

3. Dawn Cogliser was similar to Eleanor Roosevelt because, Eleanor was made fun of when she was a little girl and no one believed in her expect for her dad but he died. And no one thought that she’d become famous and neither did Dawn, she didn’t think that she’d go back to college and get her degree. So the similar side is, they didn’t believe in them self.

4. The quote that meant the most to me is “I’m just going to pick myself right back up and start over!” I chose this quote because, in the story it really stood out to me because, after all that she has been through this ends up really describing her very well at the end of the story.

If I had to chose what to be I would chose to be a little bit of both because, clay explains me a little bit because, I get picked on by my sister and I can’t do anything about it because, if I started to pick on her I’d either get in trouble or hit by my sister. But I also chose a rock because, I am not a quitter I just try harder and get better.
