“Poor Penny”. What is Penny’s situation? Find examples in the text to prove you point.
Penny is very skinny, and her father was hitting her mum (page 35 line 18 – 22).
Why does Lucy hit her?
Lucy hit her, to prove that nothing could get in the way of Lucy’s and Bethan’s friendship. (page 35 line 8-9)
What are Lucy’s feelings for Penny?
Lucy has been quite close to Penny before Bethan (page 35 line 6 – 7). Lucy actually don’t want to hit her, but she did it because Bethan want her to (page 35 line 7 - 8 and 25 – 27)
Why does Lucy want to be best friends with Bethan?
Bethan is everything Lucy is not. Bethan smokes, wears make-up, hangs out with the bad guys and so on. Lucy is looking up to Bethan.
What is Bethan’s interest in the friendship?
She wants to convert the nerd. Maybe Bethan wants to be better at school, but it doesn’t seem she has a soft spot. Maybe she just wants to pull down the top student of the school.
“I can’t wait for the future when there aren’t so many things to worry about”. What are all the things that Lucy worries about and what do they tell us about her?
