Homework #2

1. One of the central conflicts in this chapter is between Hilly and Skeeter. Using examples from the text, describe Hilly and Skeeter’s relationship. Then write about something similar (betrayal, growing apart, or disagreement) that you have experienced with a friend.

Hilly and Skeeter used to be really close they “have been best friends since Power Elementary”. Skeeter’s favorite photograph was of her, Hilly, and Elizabeth sitting “jammed together, shoulder to shoulder.” Even though there was no one around “We sat close because we were close”. The relationship between them became a little rocky when Hilly threatened to throw Skeeter out of the League even though they were really close friends. Skeeter was hurt by how easily her best friend casted her aside. I used to hang out a lot with my best friend since elementary school, but as we grew older our interests and such were completely different. We stopped hanging out with each other as much and started hanging out with people that had the same interests.
