Chapter Two

We voted in class today on which book we would read next, and the majority chose What Happened to Lani Garver by Carol Plum-Ucci.  It is a good book; the setting is, again, a high school very similar to ours, and the situations and kids we meet in the story will all remind of us of someone we know. 
Before we begin reading, I would like you to consider a few things, and then talk about them here. 
They may or may not be easy things to admit, to even think about, but I would like you to be as honest as your conscience will allow.

What is the worst thing you have ever said to someone?  What prompted you to say it?  What were the circumstances surrounding the incident?  Are you sorry? Does anyone else know about it?
How would you feel if someone said the same thing to you?  If you knew that the things you say had a long-term effect on the people you say them to, would you still say them?  How do you feel when you hurt someone's feelings with words?  Many questions here, be sure to answer ALL of them!
