Challenges faced by the Character(s)/information revealed about character(s)


Anna had to try and get over how Jacob's friends were bullying her and dirtied her pure silk scarf.

Important Quotations


"Are you threatening me, Josie? You of all people can never say anything to embarrass me. People talk about you enough." (pg 142)
"But when he drinks he's abusive. Not physically, though, but verbally." (pg 143)
"I sat on the bus grinning from ear to ear" (pg 148)

Personal Response


I think that Jacob's friends were really mean to Anna and that they shouldn't treat her that way. Also Josie is a really good friend.

Definition of 3 difficult words encountered


melodrama - a dramatic form that does not observe the laws of cause and effect and that exaggerates emotion and emphasises plot or action at the expense of characterisation
