Chapter 10

 “Your girlfriend's dead, and Momma

thought you were dead, too.” (p. 102)

Why do you think the author ended the

chapter like this? What mood or

emotion was she trying to evoke in the

reader

I think the emotions she had is that she scared that Jessie would have died on the rope as well. She was also sad that the only friend Jesse had died. The mood she was in was she was stressed and upset. She was a bit angry at Jesse for not telling her where he was going with Leslie after school. The author ended the chapter like this because he wanted to add some emotions in to the book to make people reflect.
