I really thought this girl had died in the sixth grade. But as I read her story I found out she did not really Die.
2. After reading the story, what does the author really mean when she writes that she died in the sixth grade? Did she really die?

I did understand what the author said about dieing in the sixth grade. No one would talk to her or be her friend because of what the popular kids had said about her.
3. How does the author describe herself before she died? Go back to the story and find adjectives that describe her personality

She did not really die. She was just let out of a popular group. So she was not seen as a popular person so everyone

Made fun of her, made her cry, etc. So it was as if she had die because no one would care about her.
4. In the second paragraph the author says she flat-lined. What does she mean? Look up the word in an online dictionary and write the definition.

to die or be so near death that the display of one's vital signs on medical monitoring equipment shows a flat line rather than peaks and troughs

They were the crew and they made everyone else feel Simple and plain. About every school has a crew.

It isnt possible to turn 11 to 17 in one day. This isnt a movie. They just turn 17 because they where talking about boys. They just think that if your 11 you shouldnt talk about boys. So it wasnt appropriate for those 11 year olds to be talking about boys at that

time.
