Write a journal entry about your impressions of the main character, Squeaky. What aspects of Squeaky’s personality would make you want, or not want, to be her friend? Use specific details from the story in your response. Your response should be about 150 words long.

One main aspect of Squeaky that would make me want to be her friend is that she stands up for herself. When Gretchen tries to talk her down and be mean to her Squeaky stands up for herself. She doesn't just say ok and let Gretchen's words come true.

She stands up for herself and proves to Gretchen that she is able to win. I really like that quality of Squeaky because I have found that being able to stand up for yourself is a very important quailty to have. That way you don't have to ask others for help standing up for yourself.

    One of her aspects that I wouldn't like as a friend is that she gets mad easily, but this is not that big of a deal. The reason that it isn't that big of a deal that Squeaky gets mad easily is because, she mostly only gets mad at Gretchen and her friends. Also since she doesn't get mad at Raymond this makes me believe that she only get mad easily at her bullies. I would want Squeaky to be my friend because the qualities that she has are mostly good ones, and the bad qualities aren't that bad.
