I hink laurie is smart and she doesn't let people step on her because of her judo. She's also wise because Alex said that she gives him advise.

I think that Laurie is really funny and isn't afraid to say anything at all..she is nice but can be mean when she needs to be..

i think laurie would be a really cool person to hang out with she seems like the kind of person who dosnt care about wat any one thinks....

ithink that laurie is caring 4 alex,but is self consouis about her apperence b/c she takes judo,and chinse hand combat. girls at school give her dirty looks and she has a perfect gymnist body, but she cares too much about what others think

Anonymous said...

I think Laurie is a strong girl who appears small but has a big impression and stands up for her thoughts. In the book it states she was 92 pounds and 5 feet tall, but she beat up a kid who was 30 pounds more than Alex. This shows that even though Laurie may seem like a little girl who wouldn't do much,she really stands up for what she believes in. Also this shows she doesn't have much pacience... which could be a big conflict between her and Alex.

i think laurie is a good person excecp when she is mad because she just yells at people and doesnt let them say a thing even if she is wrong

i think Laurie is a good friend.she sounds like she is quit tough.but yet cares for others.

I think Laurie is independent because she doesn't want people to think she's week so she expresses her fellings in thoughts in her own unique ways.

I think Laurie is a young teenager who has gone through a lot of troubles in her lifetime, and that has affected her life in a drastic way. I'd say she's a kind of bully towards Alex. She thinks that Alex is the stupidest person alive. She doesn't trust Alex. She is a small person. In the book it said that she is 92 pounds and 5 feet tall. She beat up a kid that was a lot bigger than her. I think she is feared all around the school. Overall I would not want to be a friend with Laurie.

i think that Laurie acts like Alex's mom sometimes but stands up for herself and her friends.

Anonymous said...

I think Laurie is a strict friend. She seems to be pretty good looking because of the way Alex described her. I think she is a good friend and that she's pretty tough because she's only 93 pounds and can take on people much bigger.

I think Laurie is a caring person. In the book it said she kept calling their house until Alex's mom finally told her why Alex couldn't come to the phone..and she would call him names and yell at him, but she was doing it because she cares about him. So when she calls him a mean name it really sinks into him since it is coming from a true and best friend. She is also tough and says what she pleases and is honest and just lays it all out for you.

I think Laurie is just like a mini-mom to Alex. She yells at him because she cares about him. If she didn't care then she woudn't have called four times on Saturday and twice on Sunday. So she obviously cares for him. What friend wouldn't care about another friend?

I think Laurie is an over-protective chick, that worries to much about alex. But what are friends for!?.

i think laurie knows what she is doing and she was upset that alex did such a stupid thing, they are best friends and its hard to imagin loosing one of thoughs in your life because they are so importent i think of a best friend as a saport system that can help you through whatever no matter what.

I think Laurie is a really smart girl who doesnt really want people to like her because of her looks. I think thats why she dresses in really loose clothes and learned karate.

i think laurie could be fun to be around but also not because i do some prety stoopid stuff

Laurie hasn't changed much. I think that she is still a nice girl, but I think she stands up for herself... big time. I know she isn't afraid to say anying... and I also think she cares for Alex alot, almost like a mom!

i think laurie is a really brave 93 pound girl. Also bocause of how she yelled at Alex for being stupid i can tell that she likes him. It may only be as a friend but it may be as more. I cant figure it out yet.

Anonymous said...

I think Laurie is a caring person, because she cares about what Alex did, and that is why she yelled at him when he came to school, she is also confident, she is not afraid to stick up for herself and other people, for example sticking up for Alex when a bully was making fun of what he did and how he looked from the accident.

Anonymous said...

I think Laurie is a kind girl who cares about her friends. She cares about alex because she told him that drinking and driving was stupid and that means that she is a good friend. A bad friend would just laugh with alex and tell him that that was awesome what he did and they would not give alex any advice.. So that proves that Laurie s a true, caring, and loving friend towards alex.

I think Lauri is a crazy gothic 16year old with only one friend. I think this because on page #27, She still looks like a pixie-but she looks like a terrifing Goth pixie.

I think Laurie is a great friend of Alex, she sounds really smart and i also believe she is the only one that really truely bluey cares about Alex i mean besides the fact she is his only friend, she really helps him.

I like Laurie she has a rough personality and she is a friend that is always there for you. I would rather have a friend like Laurie who is there to smack you and say "That was a STUPID choice!" then have a friend that showered you in hugs, apoligies, and "are you okay's". i would love to have a friend like Laurie!

Anonymous said...

My thought of Laurie has not changed a whole lot. I still think she is a funny girl who doesn't let people take advantage of her. Her personality really showed when she was with Sol... she was a very caring, nice kid until Sol took advantage of her. Then she got kinda mad...

I think Laurie is an awesome character... she doesn't think about anything before she says it and I think that's why I like her so much... like when she says that Alex isn't a "real man"... haha... that made me laugh :) I wonder if Laurie has gotten the hint that Alex likes her... even when he said he cared for her "that much" she still kinda looked past it and didn't pay attention to it...

I think laurie has rubbed off on some of alex because alex has been even more responsible

Anonymous said...

I first of all, think that laurie is madly in love with Alex. She kicks him all the time, I in some odd way think that is a sign of affection. She cares a lot about Alex. She's frustrated with her parents very much. She thinks the new baby will just be a replacement for her

Anonymous said...

i think Laurie is becoming independent with Alex because they were both going through their parents' seperation but the differnce is Alex's parents are getting back together and hers arent'. Im kinda getting the feeling that she likes Alex back because i think she was going to ask Alex to the dance but then Bryan asked her.

I think Laurie didn't like Alex until he said "I care about you that way". But because he said that she is starting to like him.

I think Laurie is still pretty awesome. She is always there for Alex and sometimes he doesn't realize what great of a friend he has in his life. I love her personality how she always messes around with Alex. She always has come-backs to shoot back at Alex and its funny when he has nothing good to reply to it.

I believe that laurie is trying too hide her feeling from alex so it does not ruin thier friendship. But all of a sudden all her feeling erupt and she expresses all her feelings to alex. That would also explain why she cared about him so much when he got drunk and drove off.

But then when she caught the hint she wasn't afraid to show that she then liked her. But it could be an act. Because it almost seems that everytime they are about to kiss or something she always ends up laughing really hard. And something bad always happens.
