In Trudy, time goes on and her dad is getting worse.Now she can't even have a conversation with him. He forgets everything,even where he lives. Trudy had winter vacation and she feels sick because its time to go back to school.I can defiantly relate to her. The first day of school is always nerve wrecking. I remember the first day of high school,I didn't sleep the entire night. Trudy's been going out more. In school she even made some friends because of her broken wrist. Even the most popular girl, ask her what happened.She also keeps waining to see snow. Which seems like will never come.

In Trudy, her mom convinced her to start going out with her friends more. To forget about all the problems at home and have a little bit of fun. So Trudy went to the skate park with her friend Ro-Ro. They were having fun and laughing. Trudy was having a great deal of fun with her friend. I can relate to her, because personally I love being around my friends. I like to play sports with my friends. Hanging out with your friends help take your mind off your everyday life, good or bad. Well anyways, Trudy tried to skate faster when she heard a song she liked and fell and broke her wrist. She was in a great pain. I couldn't even imagine breaking something. I am lucky to say I have never broken a bone. And hopefully I will never do so.

In Trudy, her dad is getting worse everyday. Her mother is always planing unrespected trips. One of her dreams of going to a concert. Trudy is very sad. I cant even imagine how it would feel to be doing things with your parents because you knew that soon they weren’t going to be able to do them. As her life goes on she experiences things that make her be happy to be alive. Like seeing a very bad car accident on the way to San Antonio. She wishes everything was normal. Sometimes when I go through problems all I want to do is go back to the time I felt like I had no problems. But imagine knowing you will never be able to go back. That's what Trudy is feeling. Nothing will be the same, her dad will never act the same.

Trudy and her parents are headed for her dads friends funeral. They drive for miles and miles. Trudy misses her friend Ro-Ro. But she is very happy to be spending time with her old parents.I personlly love road trips, if its for vacation. As they head for Alpine they stopped at a hotel for the night. Trudy and her parents went for a walk. She held both of their hands. She felt happy. Like back when her dad was active and not sleeping all the time. Or back when her mom did more than crocheting . She wished her family would always be happy. They rest of the way to the funeral her dad slept.Trudy told her mom about her first kiss. I can defiantly relate to Trudy. Because she trusts her mom. And I feel like that to. I can tell my mom anything and expect an honest opinion.On the other hand it must be terrible to see such a great change in life. Like seeing your parents always tired.It would kill me if my house was always quit and sad all the time!!

As I continue to read this book im feel I am coming closer and closer to a sad part. Trudys dad is becoming very ill. He is begining to lose his memory. He even called Trudy Laura Bell. Which was his younger sister who died because of heart problems. In this family there have been many heart problems. Now Trudys father is even having a difficult time breating. Trudy dont seem to know whats going on. She's somewhat confused. But atleast she made a new friend, Ro-RO , so she could help her through her problems. Trudy even found a new guy friend. A new boy in her class. They went to the school dance together. Trudy was tribling with nervousness. I can relate because when there is someone who is important to me or who I want to impress I get real nervous to. All she thinks about is his blue eyes.

In the book Trudy, her life seemed to change all of the sudden. Her best friend Ashley completely diched her. Ashley even asked her not to call her Ahs anymore. The situation at home is sad. She doesn't know what's happening. Her dad doesn't want to work in his garden,his favorite place. He is always sleeping. And her mom, well lets say she don't even talk that much anymore. It made me sad reading this because her parents are so old they get tired very easily. Since Turdy is so young her parents cant do very many things with her. I know it would really upset me if my parents didn't do things with me. The situation at home and at school are bad. And on top of that she didn't have a friend to talk to . I couldn't even imagine having problems and not talking about them to someone I tust. Tudy met a girl named Roshanda at lunch. Rashanda and Trudy are becoming friends now. This made me happy. Because everyone should have someone to talk to. Friedship is very important. I know for a fact because ive been through many rough situations and my friends have stuck to my side. And I greatly appreciate that.

Now the teacher want's Trudy to transfer out of the class. Trudy feels bad. The teacher planed a confrence with Trudys mother. Her mother was upset she felt that the teacher didnt want to give Trudy chance to learn.They came to the conclusion that Trudy should recive tutoring. so now Trudy feels useless and is trying very hard to keep up with her peers in math class. I can connect with Trudy because one time in art class eveyone was finishing their drawings and I couldn't even get started. I kept messing up. But soon I lost the fear of my drawing being bad. I finished it. It turned out great. so I think she should just put an intrest in learning and she will soon be making a's in math class.

I am reading Trudy By Jessica Lee Anderson. I am at the begining of the book. I really like it so far. Its about a girl, whos real name is Gertrude, but goes by Trudy. She is having a hard time at school. Especialy when her teacher met her parensts and asked if they where her grandparents. Trudy felt bad. I can relate to her in a way because usually when I am out with my mom people ask if she's my sister instead of my mom. Trudys parents are realy old.They are teaching her to dance. Trudy doesnt like it at first because she feels she will never learn. I remember when I first leard how ride a bike I thought I was never going to learn. But I did.
