Prompt: Compare Katie’s mother to her father. Choose which of her parents she is closest to and give reasons for your choice.
Katie's mother and father are near opposites. Katie's mother (let's call her mom) is very, very delicate, even so that you might think she had some sort of problem. She managed to break her leg walking down one stair and nearly faints when insulted. Katie's father (let's call him dad), on the other hand, is tough and protective, especially around mom, Lynn and Katie. I think Katie prefers her dad because, in the book she talks about how her mom can "read your mind" and how you HAVE to be good when she's around. On the other hand, Katie spends much more time with her dad and hasn't said anything bad about him.
Steven, it makes you wonder about the story behind her mother and the way that she is. Why do you think Dad is so protective?
