250-500 words
Respond to one of the following topics:

1) What is the conflict of our "just a girl" protagonist? Use supporting quotes from the story to prove your thinking.

2) How do the mother and father represent gender stereotypes? Use supporting quotes to prove your thinking.

3) What is the central theme of the story. Use supporting quotes.
