Connection:

Ms.Murphy reminds me of my mom because my  mom cares about me.

Analyze:

Carley is sad and brave. For example, she is sad because she can’t see or talk to her mom and really misses her. Yet she doesn’t like Ms. Murphy and is mean to her when she spends her money on taking her shopping. She has to go to school not knowing anyone. This means Carley has to be brave even though she doesn’t have the most important person in her life she stayes strong for her mom. Therefore Carley is brave.

Question:

Why is Carley so afraid of her new life?
