Week 1 Quote Keeper

1:) "If you tell anyone what happened you'll be known as a slut." Janine dad's says. (pg. 10) This quote is important to the book because it shows how uncaring Janine's father is to her feelings when something trumatic happens. 2:) "The way you keep picking on Amy and Pat they'll move out too." Janine's mom says. (pg 41) This quote is important because it shows that Mrs. Latus realizes that her husband is a bad father, and that she does care for her kids. It also shows that she is weak at that she will only say the obvious and rarely shows any action to prevent the bad from happening. 3:) "You're dad and i are gettinga divorce" Janine's mom says. (pg 51) This quote shows that Mrs. Latus has finally taken the action for the better of her kids. She wants better for them than the uncomfortable feelings that their fathergives them, but it took her until there were only two kids left to actually make this choice. Which i believe shows how weak she is in taking action for herself.
