In the story "Small Steps" by Peg Kehret a 12 year old girl who has polio. In the middle of the story Peg wants a pain in her back. She calls in the nurse and and the nurse says "what".Peg then tells the nurse that she needs to be turned. The nurse yelled and said no. Then when Peg was in an oxygen tent she wanted a chocolate milkshake the nurse said no,but she got her chocolate milkshake thanks to her parents. Peg is right telling her parents because the nurse was really rude to her. I remeber when I was in the hosipital I had a nurse that was really rude.

If I were in Pegs spot I would be nervous, scared and sad. I would be those feelings because I have polio and I can't see my dad and mom plus I would be scared because polio can kill you. I really wouldn't want to die. So in these chapters I felt her pain because I was sick before and I had to get blood withdrawn from my body aswell. Luckily I had a little disaese and they caught it before I got worse. The doctors stuck a needle in my arm it hurt. I didn't stay over night but I was there for a couple of hours. media type="custom" key="7920054"media type="custom" key="9581482"
