-The dialogue in this story helps me to understand the personality, emotions, and actions of each character, it also lets me believe the reality of the story and wonder what is going to happen next.
- I think the tone of this story, especially to the main character, Janie, is tangled. I can feel strongly that Janie wants to go to the party to see the boy she likes, but sadly her uncle is dead and she should stay for her uncle Murray's wake as a family should be.
- Janie thinks, "She couldn't really believe that the whole time they'd known each other his penis was right there with him, in his pants, right there. At school!" To this sentence, I feel somewhat embarrassed and can’t understand why the author wrote this kind of thing in the article. I know that it is about sexuality in some way, but I don’t think the author needed to say it so detailed.
-"Body fine but face meh". This label definitely makes Janie hurted and unconfident about herself because it apparently means that her body looks good but her face is not attractive to them. In my point of view, it’s such an insult and disrespectful to women and those boys just acted like the players.
-I think it’s a good ending for Janie, even though she didn’t go to the party she dreamed about, she finally found one thing that it’s more important than her crush. Yes, it’s her family.
Liying: You weren't the only one embarrassed or offended by the penis line. I think, though, that's part of the point. The author is taking us inside Janie's brain. We all think embarrassing things all of the time, things we wouldn't want an audience to know about.
