If I was in Peg's shoes I would be scared and nevous because I could die at any time because of the polio. I would be frightend about this and would be thinking about what would happen to me. It will be a scary time while i'm parylized in a hopital bed. I would be thinking about this day and night. I would be thinking about my familly and friends knowing that i might die without them knowing and without telling them goodbye.

 * 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?

Peg doesent realy have a good reason for being angry to me. Peg's reasons is that the nurse see's her in pain but doesn't help her even if she is in pain this is said in the book that Peg's legs hurt. Another reason is that she feel's that she deserved to be turned because the nurses are supposed to help her ease the pain. Even though Peg was in pain the nurse is doing the right thing because Peg shouldn't get speciel treatment from the other patiants in the hospital.

I agree with Peg telling her Mom because it's a important thing that happend in the hospital that night. This happened in a large amount of people in America who had Polio some of them were like Peg in a hospital. The nurse was probily very annoyed by this and that's why she didn't flip Peg over. Peg was also annoyed because the nurse didnt help her ease the pain. Peg's mom and dad were angry because the nurse didn't help Peg. I agree about Peg telling her mom and dad but I think that the nurse was right in the argument if she should or shouldn't turn Peg over. ====**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. Reread pages 83-84.**==== ====**Now consider the following quote from 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."**==== ====**Respond in a paragraph: What does this quote mean? Does she literally mean that a window was opened? If not, then why did she say there was a window? Also, what does it reveal about Peg's character?**==== 4. Peg worked hard in school because she didn’t want to get held back in the eighth grade. 5. Peg had to learn how to play the accordion because it strengthened her arm muscles. 6. They accepted the sister Kenny treatments because the doctors in Australia thought her treatments of hot packs won’t work. 11. Peg had to learn to walk all over again because she had to learn how to use the walking sticks. 15. She promised Alice that she would sing for her if she forgot the lyrics. 16. She proved getting promoted to the eighth grade by proving she could attend school and having polio at the same time. 18.what challenged her was that her friends kept trying to motivating. 
 * This quote is a metaphore that means that she understands that Alice wants to look good in front of Peg's mom and dad. You can tell this because she says it right after she sees Alice combing her hair.You can asuume that Alice is combing to look good in front of Peg's parents. Next is that you can tell that Alice is embarresed by being seen combing her hair.**

How do we form and shape our identities?

We shape and form our identities by our personalities and ideas or thought expressed through actions which define our reputations. If we perform favors around the town the community will start to know you and reflect by your actions. If the community recognizes you, you will have a good or bad reputation which will give you your identity, shape, or form depending on your actions.

 Maniac was known as the fastest kid in Two who took a bite out of Mars Bar’s candy bar that is how he got the shape or form. Maniac also got his identity because he was brave; he slept in the buffalo’s pen, and rescued a kid from Finsterwald’s backyard. Maniac is also kind to the people of Two Mills.

 Maniac is much like us, as soon as we are born our identities will begin to shape until our last breath. Then everyone will most likely recognize us by our ideas and what we think of the world. I am the way I am because my thoughts are connected to every do which affect the world and everyone around me. This is why our identity, shape, or form are the most important aspects we will ever have in our life for as long as we live.
