  1. 1 Miranda expects to die on the trip so her family can use more food.

    2 Miranda believes she is helping Jonny survive by doing this.

    3 She saw dead pets, and few houses with smoke coming out of their chimney.

    4 To meet at a meeting with no specific date.

    5 So she could remember her life at this time as a keepsake.

    6 It was looking a lot better, but the world would eventually come to an end if the moon stayed too close.

  2. 1. She thinks so will die, she actually hopes it will happen so that her family will have to use less money to spend on food.

    2. Not really, but she is going to do it for lil Jonny's sake. God, that family is full of emos, I swear...

    3. Chimneys puffing smoke and a pet cemetery.

    4. A mysterious meeting being held, without a date o_O

    5. So that if things ever look up, she WILL NEVER FORGET IT!!!

    6. Overall, depressing... Just depressing...
