=**__CONNECTIONS:__**= 1. We have babysat and thought about loosing the baby, just like what happened to Sundara. 2. We have tried to convince our parents abut something like Sundara and Johnathan. 3. We have had to go to airports to pick up people we haven't seen in a very long time. 4. We know a lot of people who have gotten divorces. 5. We have no idea where the future will lead us! 6. We go to football games 7. There may be some reasons why we can't date a boy we like. 8. We have had to go to a new school. 9. Just like Sundara, we sometimes feel awkward about a new school and it can be hard to meet new people. 10. We have had our parents tell us to do something that we don't want to do! For example, in the book, Sundara's parents want her to break up with Johnathan, but she doesn't really want to. It's very easy to disagree with your parents, and not do what they want you to.

=__CONNECTION QUESTIONS:__= 1. have you ever lied to your parents and had the worry you need to "pay" for it later? 2. Can you relate to a character very much in someway? How? Who? Why?! 3. Name some times you have argued with your parents. Did you have a punishment? 4. Have you or anyone you know had to move for serious reasons? 5. Name some situations where you or someone you know have gotten in bad accidents. How did it happen? 6. Why do you think people steal? If they get caught, do you think the punishment is appropriate? 7. What are some reasons people starve? Where in the world does that happen?
