Elnora leaves for school after her mother berates her about wanting to go to school. Elnora knows where the school is, but nothing else. She is having to ask everyone where to go and how it works. She does beautifully on an algebra problem in class despite another classmate sabotaging her answer. On her way home, she meets her kind and loving neighbors who vow to help her. She does not want to take their charity. She confronts her mother about tuition and cost of books and demands her mother loan her the money and she swears that somehow she will pay her back, do her chores and rise from this struggle.
Elnora is sabotaged by the same girl she has an encounter with in the hall. This starts when Elnora asks where the Freshmen go (about page 7). What do you think of this exchange? What would you have done if you were Elnora? Use comments button below to answer.
I think the exchange with the girl was very rude because all she asked was where the hallway was. If i was Elnora i would've probly said something mean to her
ReplyDeletei probably would have went off on the girl and did something that i would regret doing or saying.
ReplyDeleteI would have been angry.
