Life As We Knew It - Chapter 12

If you were Miranda, I'd bet you wouldn't look at chocolate chips the same way again after this chapter. The weather is really changing; 20 degrees the first week of September!
  1. Do you think the reaction Miranda’s mother has when she sees Miranda eating the bag of chocolate chips is appropriate, or did she overreact? (p. 193–95) How does her mother’s reaction affect Miranda emotionally? (p. 195)
  2. The family finally gets letters from Dad. What does he report? (p. 196-198).
  3. What do you suppose is meant by the following line: "Sometimes it's safer to cry about people you don't know than to think about people you really love." (p. 199).

  1. 1. I think she overracted because... IT WAS A BAG OF CHOCOLATE CHIPS FOR GOD SAKES!!! IT WASNT A ROAST, FRIED CHICKEN OR EVEN PIZZA! IT WAS A BAG OF CHOCOLATE CHIPS! RAAAHHHH!!!

    2. They got to Kansas (THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOOOME!), him and Lisa Simpson are in a refugee camp, and they're hoping to get to Colorado.

    3. Because if you don't really know the person, and you're just a fan, you don't have any connections with them, you just are a fan of they're work or just saw them walking down the yellow brick road. But if you know the person, and have connections with that person, then it hurts more.

  2. 1 She overreacted because the power of chocolate is overwhelming. Miranda was depressed because she felt so bad about it that she thought she would go to hell.

    2 That he's in Springfield with Lisa.

    3 Crying about people you love is probably more depressing.

  4. 2- In Miranda's dad's letter snd he said that Lisa's pregnecy is starting to show and that hik and Lisa are at a refugee camp.

    3- Well Ithink that it means if are going to cry at least cry for tha people you do not know so hopefully you do not worry and not be depressed so much.
