Literature Circles Meeting 4

I think I participated strongly in the last group meeting. I am good at helping others with their questions about the novel because i retain the little details of the reading. One example of this is when i help Alyssa to understand why Katie doesn't acknowledge what a smart and mature kid Francie is. I explained that it is because she loves Neeley for having the traits she loves about Johnny and also because she wants to make Neeley become what Johnny couldn't become. In the last discussion I also contributed topics of discussion such as why the nurse at Francie's vaccination would look down at Francie even though she was once in Francie's shoes, and why Katie, who is normally responsible and slightly stingy as far as money goes, would give more than is asked of her to the piano teacher.
