Why did Holling's sister flush her flower on the night of their father's award ceremony?

• She was allergic to flowers, and she couldn't stop sneezing once she put it on.

• She was angry that Holling got to wear a carnation when she wanted to wear one.

Holling is now reading Romeo and Juliet and he thinks it is . .

• stupid

• silly

• boring

• romantic

Why does Holling think that Romeo and Juliet were stupid?

• Real people would not have behaved that way; they would have ignored their parents and gone away together.

• The play was too long, so he got very bored when he was reading it and couldn't stay awake.

• Since their families hated each other, he thought that they were stupid to fall in love causing all those problems.

• He knows they didn't really fall in love and that they were just pretending to "punish" their fathers.

• She was still angry about him making her check his desk.

• She had a crush on Doug Swietck and wanted to go out with him.

• She had another date for Valentine's Day.

• Holling had insulted her and "acted like a jerk."

Why didn't Holling correct Meryl Lee when she misquoted his Caliban curse?

• She might punch him if he corrected her.

• She might smash his foot again like she did before in choir.

• He was "a lot smarter than Romeo and knew when to shut up."

• He liked how she said the curse better than Shakespeare's version.
