Week 2 Day 1 (Monday)
1) The story I am reading about has a collection of different teenagers' stories and the story I read about was Tina's.
Tina lived in New York City and she had ran away from her home and begun living underneath the station. She had ran away when she was about 16. She meet a girl named April and became friends with her. She was also a teenage run away. Tina described her life as an adventure down there. She would never even have a food problem. They would serve food in churches and she would go there to get food. She would sometimes get out. Lay around and drink beer. She enjoyed living this lifestyle. The only thing she really hated was cleaning up. Since she lived under she needed her clothes to me washed and that was always a problem, however she would get though that too. She found a place to take a shower and use the bathroom. Chewie, a nice guy she met, would always help her in giving her clean clothes and food to eat. He would always want to help with volunteering. One time Tina got really bad bugs and it was all over her body. They took forever to get away. She would take various showers and pick at her hair often. She meet another guy, Corey. She became close friends and then later they started dating. All of them together would take a lot of drugs. One time Corey dared Tina to go down to the deepest level of the station. No one has ever been there and there were crazy stories about it. People said who went there never returned. However Tina and Corey made it safely through. However they never went down there ever again. Her friend April came back but they didn't let her out she had escaped from there.
2) How do you feel about what you read today?
2) I don't know how exactly I felt after reading that. I was just wondering why would she just run away like that. She needs to stay home with her parents and continue her studies for a successful well build future.
3) Think about your favorite character. What happened to him/her today?
3) My favorite character, Tina was having a lot of fun doing bad things.
4) How would you feel if the same thing that happened to him/her, happened to you?
4) If I were doing something wrong and I knew about it I would try to stop doing it because I would think about what could happen if I continued doing the bad things.
5) What questions do you have about what you read today?
5) Why did Tina leave her home?
6) What do you predict will happen next in this story?
