P O S T # 2

SUMMARY:
Tis' the season to be jolly [: ! Ronnie was aiming with Cat, and Cat as always was very forgiving with Ronnie. Cat always was the kind of friend that will never leave your side even when the friendships bound to end anytime soon. Ronnie and Cat were talking only for a few minutes till Ronnie said bye. At school, Britnee, Sarika and Paige were not speaking to Ronnie, they claim to say that Ronnie is too much of a flirt, they're pretty much afraid of competition. Ronnie pulled the fire alarm just to have Paige all to herself so they can talk. They worked things out. Merry Christmas ! On Christmas morning Ronnie had her living room filled with presents all for her, from Alison. Alison announced that she wanted to adopt Ronnie. Ronnie at the moment felt a handful of emotions, but after a few minutes she felt at HOME. On New Years Eve, Ronnie went to Cat's house. Cat had cuts on her arms, Ronnie noticed, and Cat says that it helps her relieve stress. At Cat's house, Cat told Ronnie how her step dad Bud touches her and how her mom never believes her. Cat had something to show Ronnie, man it was not pretty, it was a porno video. Ronnie left, she did not want to see not one second of it. Ronnie arrived home, Alison was waiting for her with a welcoming smile. Ronnie told Alison that she WANTS Alison to be her legal guardian, and take her into custody and adoption !

QUOTE:
Ronnie said "Whenever someone hurt me, I would go over and over it in my mind, like an angry scab, picking at it until it was raw and bleeding" (Lowell 75)

REACTION:
This quote said from Ronnie shows a lot about her as a character. She is one who repeats the hurt someone caused her  over and over again. She does not forget it easily and would keep on picking at it till she cried or until something happens. That can be a problem. Ronnie someday may be faced with a major problem and it may hurt her, how will she react? Ronnie described her situation about going over and over the problem like a scab, she used a similie. Ronnie said this because she was trying to compare how understanding Cat is when she is hurt, Ronnie on the other hand would not be able to cope at the moment if she was hurt.
