- How does a character grow and change throughout the story? What do they realize through these experiences?
- What is the author trying to say or teach you through this story?
I believe that the author is trying to tell the reader (me). that sometimes even the baddest person can have compassion or understanding when it comes to common sense like paying back a favor.

What else have you read or watched that has to do with this idea?
DeleteThe big idea that is hidden in the text is being physically abused. The text says that when someone is being physically abused they don't want to tell anyone because the other people won't believe them.
ReplyDeleteQuote: "so whenever I try to tell my parents about something hideous that she's done to me, "high-strung" Lucy just gives another one of her Oscar-winning performances."
Do you think all people react the same way toward Physical Abuse? Or do all people keep it in?
DeleteThe character Lucy grows and changes at the end of the story, she realizes that she has been mean to Sasha and Sasha had her back when she saw her and her boyfriend in the tub and when their mom was asking for her Sasha covered for her . Lucy changed by giving Sasha all the things she took from her .
