| Betty Ann |
Betty Ann by Ina Hughs - Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul
1) The saddest part that stood out to me in the story was when Betty Ann's mother talked to Ina. "Why don't you girls like Betty Ann? She likes you..." That part in the story showed how her mother worried about Betty Ann--she didn't have any friends, and she was always picked on. I also think that Betty Ann's mother didn't understand why the girls just teased her so much. I mean, Betty Ann didn't harm the girls or anything, but since she was new and different than others they started to tease her.
2) I think that Margie went too far when she called Betty Ann's house to talk to Ina. I would of probably told her to stop joking about it after Betty Ann's mother was glad to meet Ina, since she was one of the only people who had came over after school. I would of then tried to start become friends with Betty Ann, after realizing how mean everyone has been to her.
3) "Sticks and stones only break bones. Words can shatter the soul."
The lesson taught in this story is that you should think before you act. Try to make the right choice in life. Be careful of what you say or do, you can't undo it easily by pressing ctrl + z, by using an undo button. You may think little harm will have no impact on others, but they could, or they could not.

i really agree about what you said about the moral of the story and that margie went really to far! I aso think that the saddest part of the story was "Why don't you girls like Betty An? She likes you..." that was really sad.

Good job, I agree with you that you cant just press control-z to erase something.

I agree with Rachel. The moral that I got was a little differant but I agree with yours too. I also think that the saddest part is the phone call and about what Betty Anns mother says. I also agree with the part where you said that margie went too far but when I wrote mine I had forgotten about that part but I agree with all that you put. :)
