14. Your opinion on principal characters
I think Sharon is a responsible girl because she kept the baby.
I like Sharon’s father like he was later. When he read books about pregnancy. I don’t like her mother because she don’t really care about Sharon. And George Burgess, I hate him!! He just leaved Sharon, he said I’ll take care of you and the baby but he wasn’t like he have to be.

I liked the book ‘’the snapper’’ very much. At the beginning it was difficult to read but later it became easier. The subject was really interesting because getting pregnant at a young age is something of the daily life.

I learned something about the way how people in suburbs, like the one in this story, live.
