Reading #4 p.99-132 On pages 107-109, Junior tells us more about Penelope, and he learns her secret. Explain this situation and why he says "...she's scared all the time but nobody will let her be scared..." (108) (Molly)
Junior learns that Penelope is bulimic and scared, but she is afraid to show her emotions and her true self. She doesn't want anyone to know that she is bulimic, afraid that it will ruin her reputation. "She'd obviously tried to cover the smell of vomit with the biggest piece of cinnamon gum in the world" (Alexie 106). Penelope thinks that if she lets people know about the imperfect part of her, then nobody would like her anymore and not know her as the perfect girl who has a perfect life. She is also sad that nobody really knows her; that she is lonely and scared. "...how everybody thinks her life is perfect because she's pretty and smart and popular..." (Alexie 108). Penelope finally spills this all out to Junior and I hope that helps her gain the confidence to tell more people about who she really is.

I agree with Molly in the sense that being bulimic is sad and scary and a lot of people find it gross, and I see why Penelope feels better keeping that hidden from other people. But I also find that Penelope has a lot of pressure from her dad and her peers to make the right decisions. "Because I got to hold hands with Penelope, and kiss her good-bye when she jumped on the school bus to get home, all the other boys in school decided I was a major stud" (Alexie 110 ). Everyone follow what she does and mimiks her every move. If she makes one mistake the entire school could get in trouble. I think she is scared all the time because she knows everyone is watching her and she doesn't want to make a mistake.
