I was not just frustrated with the characters for this but I get frstrated with people like this as well. That being said, who am I to judge. It is difficult to navigate through life trying to please other people but at the same time pleasing yourself. I can only imagine what teaching high school would be like in Texas. I teach elementary school here in Canada and the cultures are so different. I wish you luck with your writing career and thanks again for posting a comment on my review.alittlebookishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07541622937825238655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162181672437494700.post-43537465026765913372011-03-10T15:04:01.468-05:002011-03-10T15:04:01.468-05:00Thanks so much for taking the time to review What ...Thanks so much for taking the time to review What Can't Wait! It sounds like the attitudes of some of the characters frustrated you, and I can relate! Many of the characters and situations in WCW are based on my experiences teaching in Houston, TX. The lack of reflection and dependency that annoyed you were very much a part of the challenges some of my students had to face at home and in their community.<br /><br />So... these IMperfect people with flawed outlooks are in the book for the same reason that cussing, cockroaches, and conflict are: because they're part of the character's reality.<br /><br />Thanks again!<br /><br />www.ashleyperez.com/blogAshley Hope Pérezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991064798582078393noreply@blogger.com
