1669 Words7 Pages

Friendships are supposed to be positive and easygoing. After Taylor’s friends noticed that she was getting picked on, it wasn’t positive or easygoing anymore. Both of her friend decided to stop being friends with her when times got rough which hurt Taylor in her bullying situation. Another one was when Samantha was not being supportive of Taylor and the boy she liked. This hurt Taylor, because Taylor would have been supportive if Sam was in that position.

In the beginning of the book, Taylor (then known as Marietta or Missy) was a sassy little girl who wanted to be treated equally without truly understanding what that meant. This can be seen when Taylor demands to be called “Miss Marietta” the way she has to call all the kids of the parents her mother works for. Her mother has no problem with this, the way one might think she would. Had I asked my parents to call me “Miss Angie” when I was younger, I would have gotten a scolding for sure.
