Answer to Question 1


  • Edie is smart and sensible for her age, but she has a highly critical kind of intelligence and is apt to find fault with most people. She generally keeps her mouth shut in situations, but as a narrator, she speaks candidly to the reader. Her candor might be less agreeable if she were not equally candid in confessing her own failings. She readily admits how many dumb things her young self did or said simply because she could not think of anything better. Her narration may be subjective, but it is not overtly self-serving. Because of her honesty with and about herself, and because she allows us to fully understand the reasons for her feelingsher awkwardness in unfamiliar situations, her self-consciousness about her background, the rush of complex emotions unleashed by her first crushwe feel certain that your students will respond to her with understanding and sympathy, perhaps even empathy.



Answer to Question 2


  • A mathematician might talk about the differences in purchasing power, comfort, and security between the two amounts; a wit might counter the adage Money cant buy happiness with the equally stale rejoinder, No, but it sure helps. The right answer might be that those who have less take it less for granted, and value what they haveincluding each otherthat much more.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.
