In __Small Steps__ By Peg Kehret, In Chapter 9, "Sunday Visitors," Peg gets a visit from her parents. At first, she is annoyed by her roommates involvement in their conversation, and Alice's reaction to her parents. Page 84: "A window of understanding opened in my mind, and the breeze of compassion blew in. From that moment on, I was glad to share my visiting family with my roommates." No, it really doesn't mean the window is open. It means that she understands how they feel and she feels sorry for them. She feels sorry, because they don't talk to there parents or there parentts never visited them. Peg's character is she's Understanding, and is Caring. She is understanding because she understands the girls going into her parents conversation, when she is talking to her parents. She understands them because she knows they don't have parents that visits them, so her parents are like there parents.

 * In Chapter 3 of //Small Steps,// Peg has a problem with a nurse who refuses to turn her, even though she is in pain.**
 * **What reasons does Peg have for being angry with the nurse?**
 * **Do you think Peg does the right thing by telling her parents about this incident?**

In Chapter 3 of Small Steps by Peg Kehret, Peg has a problem with the nurse who refuses to turn her, even though she is in pain. Peg should be mad at the nurse because i would to, But Peg also needs to understand that the nurse can't keep turning Peg over and over when she has other people to turn. Lets say she satarts at the beginning of the row and then she's in rown 4 out of 5 rows and somone wants to be turned she can't. The nurse cant turn somone in row 1 because if she turns somone in row 1 everyone will want to be turned and she hasnt finishe the other rows. Also, the nurse has to follow the rules, or she'll loose her job.

Peg did do the right thing by telling her parents about the incident. Peg did the right thing but it really doesnt really matter if she did the right thing or not, because what was her parents gonna do they can't give Peg her own nurse. Than everybody is gonna want there own nurse. Peg did the right thing by telling her parents.
