She is relating to this because she had attended one a couple weeks ago and saw a mother and son crying because it was there grandmother that passed. A teacher could see two sad foster kids crying because they didn’t get picked to get adapted that month. This reminded her of a student she had recently that was going threw the same thing.
My hearing was getting worse, but I hadn’t told anyone about it. The ocean sound that was always in my head had been getting louder. It was drowning out people’s voices, like I was underwater. I couldn’t hear teachers if I sat in the back of the class. But I knew if I told Mom or Dad about it, I’d end up with
Even though Callie is told “a person doesn’t get asthma from crying, from being upset” (117). She continues to blame herself for something completely out of her control, and which she has never been blamed
