7. In his homework assigment, Gerald writes that he would rid the world of 3 things. What 3 things would you rid the world of? Stick to concrete items, and back up your choices with personal reasons why you are eliminating them.
If I could rid three things in the world it would be carrots, spiders and, snapping turtles. I would get rid of carrots because my mom always tries to get me to eat carrots and they are nasty. I would get rid of spiders because i don't like them when they get big. I'm not scared of spiders when they are little but when the get big they creep me out. I would get rid of snapping turtles because they always eat my grandmas baby ducks.
1. Put yourself in place of one of the boys who escaped the crash but was forced to watch "helplessly as Rob died." What is going through your head? How do you feel physically and mentally? How do you think that you will feel tomorrow?
If I was one of the kids who made it out i would be thinking it was my fault and we shouldn't have been drinking. I would feel depressed and I would feel like someone took a piece of my heart out. The next day I would probably feel worse and feel like I want to die.
2. When you hear or read of a car accident that involved teenagers, what do you tend to assume was the cause of the accident? What about if you hear about an accident involving the elderly? Explain your answers.
*I assume that the teenagers were drinking because pretty much all teenagers drink some point in there life. Most of them don't drink and drive but some do and some that do are the ones who usually crash. When I see a elderly person crashed i think that they had a heartattack or they fell asleep. I think that because you always here about a elderly person wrecked because they had a heartattck or fell asleep.
5. Although many people did cry, Rhonda did not cry after the accident occurred; she was angry. When or if a public tragedy occurs and it is not someone in your immediate family (9/11/01), how do you respond? Explain
*I usually don't cry, i don't cry very often even when someone in my family is in a car wreck i usually don't cry unless they die. I don't no why i don't cry i guess I'm not a emotional person, it doesn't upset me because if they wreck it usually there fault and they shouldn't have been doing what ever it was there doing.
10. Andy mentions that some kids at school haven't looked him in the face since the accident;one even taped a mean note to his locker. How would you treat Andy now? Elaborate
*I would treat him the same. It's not his fault he wrecked they was all drunk. He shouldn't be the only only blamed for Rob's death, actually he shouldn't be blamed at all and no body should. That is rude to treat him any different, because if that happened to you. You wouldn't like to be treated different.
8. Neither of Andy's parents bother to show up for the game. How important is it for you that your parents turn out for the events in which you participate? Explain.
*I care if my parents come to my events, but if they don't then im not gonna worry about it . If they don't come then in my opinion then they are not good parents. I no they cant come to every event but i like my parents to at least try to make it to some of my events. The events that i do are very important and i want to make my parents proud at all the work i put into my events.
16. Andy envisions that Monty will have a future as a lawyer or a doctor. But when he thinks of his own future, he sees a blank or darkness. Can you picture who you will be in 15 years? What do you envision for your future?
*In 15 years I will be 28 years old and I will hopefully have went through collage successfully and got a job in Equine Massage Therapy or Equine Dentistry. I will hope that by then I have a house of my own and a start to my own family.
