LAWNI - Chapter 14

This was a short, but pretty meaty chapter. Volcanic ash has turned cool fall weather into sub-zero conditions. Miranda's family has moved downstairs and are trying to conserve what food they have. Most notable in this chapter is we learn that Megan and her mother have both died and Megan learns what a hypocrite Megan's pastor is.

  1. What utility has been shut off? How has it effected Miranda's family?

  2. What volunteer job has Matt taken in town? How does Miranda's mother feel about this?

  3. What has happened to Megan? How do you think Megan died?

  4. How did Megan's mother, Mrs. Wayne, die? How did Reverend Marshall treat her body in comparison to Megan?

  5. Why does Miranda call Reverend Marshall "despicable?" (p. 222) Do you agree with her? Why or why not?
  6. Who was Miranda skating with?

  7. Having a space to call your own is important. How has losing her room for the winter effected Miranda? How would it effect you if you were in Miranda's shoes?

    3. Megan died of starvation and her mother asked Reverend Marshal to burry in the back yard

    4. When reverend Marshall left to get the shovels with his men for Megan’s burial Mrs. Wayne Hung her self when reverend marshal came back and they buried along with her daughter Megan

    5.megan calls reverend marshal despicable because he is manipulating the people of the church to give him…I think he is threatening them by using gods wrath…. yea by doing a magic trick….huh…....Wow.

  6. 1. The electricity is shut off so there's no heat and showers don't work it's effecting Miranda's family because it's really cold in the house and it's dusty and dry out side so Miranda's family needs to take showers the dryness is making Mirand's family dirty.

    2. Miranda's brother volunteered at the post office and Miranda's mother thinks the hole family should volunteer.

    3. Megan died and I think she died from starving her self to death or that guy she was with killed her.

    4. Megan's mother Mrs.Wayne died by hanging herself. Reverend Marshall treated Megan's mothers body different by just leaving it sitting in the house to rot.

    5. Miranda calls Reverend Marshall despicable because he tells people to listen to god and for people not to eat. I agree that Reverend Marshall is despicable because he tells people not to eat and to see certaint people any more.

    6. Miranda was ice skating with Brandon Erlich.

    7. Miranda losing her room is horrible to her she likes having her own space to probably get away from her brothers and mother when she fight with them. It wouldn't really effect me if I couldn't have my room for the winter but if it did effect me I would probably have no where to go if I got in a fight with my parents or sister.
