  • Drama (issues or situations with others)

Make setnese

1)Hey, save yourself some steps. Don't wonder like that, it let me feel dizzy!

2)He picked up the receiver obediently, just like an automatic robot.

3)He tugged her shoulder with his big hand and fixed his eyes which are full of fortitude on her.

Question 1

Because she is adolescent, it is usual to care about what other people think about herself. She becomes sensitive, and always think others are judging her.

Further more, that is because her sister is much more beatiful than her, so she feels self-abased.

Question

Charlie cannot speak. It is the most difficult barrier in his life. Because he cannot talk, he cannot express his real feeling directly to others,so that he is lonely. Also maybe he has a lot of pressure, he cannot stay with his comtempory people and Sara always complains about him. I think he is miserble. However, he likes swam very much. That reflects that he want to be free. Finally, he went out of house by himself.

Question 6

Even though she thinks Charlie is a trouble for her, she is still her sister. I think it is instinctive to protect him. Also, I think maybe she thinks Charlie is so poor, she should be as a shelter for him,
