Things That Bounce-Basketballs, Friendships...



  1. Does Miranda bounce back at all from her hurt about Sal?
  2. The girls at school are quite expert at being unkind to each other. Is this usual for twelve-year-olds?
  3. What causes this nastiness?
  4. If you had to describe Julia as person (not just what you think she looks like) what words and phrases would you use? 
Remember be appropriate with your feelings and words; don't use real names of people in your examples. 

Do all your answers in complete sentence answers  in Microsoft Word and check it with WORD TALK.  Use all your COPS skills and include as many dressups as you need to make your answers as interesting to read and as descriptive as possible.

  2. 1.No, I think Miranda dose not bounce back from all the hurt from Sal.
    2.Yes, it is mostly normal for girls at the age 12 to be unkind to each other (gossip).
    3.I think this nastiness is caused by jealousy?
    4.I would describe Julia as a diva and a little spoiled and gossips about other girls behind their backs.

  3. 1. Yes she dose because she did not say one word but are we still friends.
    2. No it is not because everyone argues at times, but not all the time.
    3. I think because the 12 year olds got in a big fight and they don’t want to apologies.
    4. I say she was mean and greety.

  4. When You Reach Me
    1. Yes I think Miranda does recover because she meets new friends to hang out with instead of Sal.
    2. I think 12 year olds should not be unkind because they might lose a friend or two if they aren’t into being unkind and they might grow up to be not a great person.
    3. I think nastiness can be made by not good friends, not good parents and bulling but maybe that is just who they are, so sad.
    4. Julia I think is maybe a bully, drama queen, diva.

  6. 1.)Yes, Miranda got over it a bit when she got new friends.
    2.)Yes… or … sort of… not really, unless most of the girl don’t like each other, or they’re bullying each other.
    3.)Problems at home, diss agreeing, or just plain hatred.
    4.)nasty, unkind, popular, I can go on for a long time, selfish, cold hearted, I’ll just end it at Mean. plain Mean

  7. A little but she still misses Sal from time to time.Yes I think it is because my sister had a lot of trouble with her friends when she was twelve. I think they might be Jules or they like the same boy or they might even find it funny to be mean to each other.
    I think she would be a nasty annoying person that would just wantto get on your nerves.

  8. I think Miranda did bounce back a bit because when she said ‘’ are we still friends?’’ and Sal said ‘’No’’. I think it is normal because usually older kids sometimes get rough. It causes when somebody spreads a rumor about someone else. I think Julia is very bossy and always wants to pretty. I also think she wants to always be first. I think she is not a good friend.

  9. 1. Yes, Miranda is bouncing back at Sal because they were really good friends but then she didn’t want to be friends with Miranda but then she asked that “Are we still friends?”
    2. No, it is not usual for twelve years old girls to be experts in unkindness.
    3. Hatred and jealousy causes nastiness.
    4. I would say bossy, head leader, jealousy, stupid person and calls herself “Queen” describes Julia best.

  10. 1) Yes she does bounce back for her friend Sal because there is a boy who punched Sal in the face a lot of times and now that boy goes to the school the Miranda’s goes to. And Miranda said are we still friends and Sal said no.
    2) No that is not usual for twelve year olds girls because it usual for like 17 and stuff.
    3) What cause the nastiness is that Sal is not talking to Miranda anymore and now the boy at the really likes to do math sience.And he is not doing anything to help Sal get to be friends with Miranda.
    4) Stupid , bossy, because ant jimmies she really likes to help out with the chores and stuff.

  12. Well I would say that Miranda has bounced back some but not a lot because she still thinks about Sal sometimes so I would say she is still sad. In some schools the girls are always mean I would say even younger than twelve year old girls so yah it is pretty usual. I would say when girls have best friends then they start unincluding other girls and only being friends with some girls. I would describe Julia as a mean selfish narcissistic spoiled.

  13. Yes Miranda has recovered from the friend ship with Sal. No this is not usual for twelve years girls to fight like that but it does happen. [Ps I am not a girl!]I think the nastiness come from jellies or other thing. I think Julia is a mean bully that has a lot of money.

  14. I don’t think Miranda has gotten over the thing that happened to Sal.
    I don’t think that’s what 12 year old girls do these days.
    Jealousy causes the girls to fight.
    The words I word use to describe her would be a stubborn brat that does not listen to anyone that over reacts to everything.

  15. I believe Miranda has bounced back from being hurt from Sal because she had
    made new friends. I think it is usual for 12 year old girls to not get along. It has
    something to do with makeup and how pretty they are. Nice, friendly, rich, perfect
    sandwich cutter.

  16. 1) Yes Miranda does bounce back at her hurt about Sal

    2) I would say that it is usual for twelve-year-olds to be unkind to each other and I think they are unkind to each other over something that no one knows about.

    3) Maybe Julia has no friends so she is not nice to others and why I think she has no friends is because she goes on trips a lot and leaves school.

    4) I would describe Julie as a person that is rich has a big house with blond hair and a scarf and she is mysteries and kind of mean

  18. 1.No Miranda did not recover from Sal saying “we are not friends anymore” because Sal was Miranda’s best friend for life because they did everything together.
    2.Yes because twelve year old girls are usually mean because they love the way they look.
    3.It is usually to get a boys attraction, but the girls might have to fight for the boy because another girl might like him too.
    4.Julia is an unkind, selfish, who has an attitude and has a taste for revenge.

  19. I think Miranda hasn’t got over how Sal said he doesn’t want to be friends with her anymore, she probably feels a little sad or mad. It can be usual for some girls, but I have never seen anything like what Julia acts. It can sometimes come from problems at home or not getting treated nicely. I think she is mean, full of herself and selfish.
