Jordan Rodriguez - So far I guess this book is somewhat interesting..its only the introduction part so Its not but so exciting. Amanda finds out Laura dropped out of buisness college and is in shock. Im sure alot of people in this class can relate to that, given the fact the class is half-filled everyday. Also I think people can relate to parents wanting their child to be like them like Amanda was telling Laura about her 17 gentlemen callers in 1 day. When Laura cant do the same because shes not as popular as her mother was. The books doing alright for a beggining and hopefully it continues to get better as we get further into it next class.

KIARA- I CANT SAY MUCH ABOUT THIS BOOK. IT SEEMS LIKE A SELECTION WHERE YOU HAVE TO READ MORE THAN A FEW PAGES TO GET INTO IT. HOPEFULLY AS WE READ MORE I WILL UNDERSTAND IT MORE AND GET MORE INTO THE BOOK.

**Ricky**- Honestly, I wasn’t even paying that much attention during the beginning of Scene 1. What I do remember is that Amanda was really getting on Laura’s nerves because she really wanted her to talk to the gentlemen callers but Laura didn’t seem like she was confident and kept saying no one is going to come. It annoys me sometimes when people don’t have confidence in themselves because I know a few people who are like that. I think Laura is very intelligent because of what she talked about how people should eat their food and not like animals. I was in shock though when Laura was skipping her college classes. I really want to know where she was going all this time then. Hopefully it isn’t with a boy. Olivia- the book is differnet. It show a lot of emotions in the book and its different lifestyle then we have now. There mother was always trying to set up her daughter laura wit a suitable guy. Telling her she needs to talk to the men in town. Then the scene changes to the daughter getting in trouble for lieing and saying she attends school for the past semester. The mother is so suprise by this but honestly my mom would react the same way she did. She would be so mad i dont know what to do. Dane Schmidt - i thought the book was really interesting and dramatic but was some what predictable. The scene with her admitting that she knew that she dropped out of school but what did she do the whole time she wasn't there. Its a scene that i'm sure some people can relate to.

04 - 30 - 08 Woa, this book is really interesting. Amanda [mother] and Laura [daughter] live in the ghetto neighborhood. They lived in Wingfield apartments in St. Louis. Laura was used to be in a business college. Now she talking to her mother that she dropped out and explaining to her what happened. I do think that her mother should be concerned that she dropped out. As a mother she dont want her child to suffer in a long run. She need something to fall back on when everything is going down the hill. Amanda want her to be successful in life and she was popular back in the day. Laura is living her life and now she messing with different men. I guess her mother wouldnt like for her to do that because she is slacking about her future. She need to learn to grow up and be a women for herself. Talking to different guys is no good. They just might sweet talk to her and play her emotions. As a mother she need to check up her daughter more often she wont make mistakes and regret it later.

**__04.30.08 Jenn Carlberg__** Well we didn't read as much of the book as I wanted, but I seem to be rapped up in it already. I want to know more. I want to know why Laura honestly skipped school that whole time and why she felt she needed to hide it from her mom. Is walking all she really did while she was supposed to be in school or was there more than that? I also realized that Tom isn't very fond of his mom, why is that? This is basically all that has been on my mind since class today in regards to the book. I'll be waiting for my questions to be answered hopefully next class.

mary...reading this book as a narrorator is somewhat confusing. I am eager to find out why she dropped out of school and what is goin in the book...hopefully the next chapter will help and unfold some of the mysteries of the first chapter...l0l

(Mychael) well i cant say much about this book because it bores me to be honest...i dont find much interest hopefully later on i will but as of now im not

Kelsey Ballou: The book is okay I guess, I don't totally get it right now, but i thinks thats only because its the introduction. I have a feeling that the little girl is going to get in trouble for dropping out of typing school, it seems that because they don't have a father her mother is pushing her really hard to get an education and marry.

Alan Deadwyler This book seems a little boring but maybe its just the way its going now. hopefully i start to understand this foreshadowing taking place in this book.
