It turned out that someone was trying to get inside her camper, the person was unsuccessful and left. Ashely got up to go check on Earl, she found him on the floor bleeding from his head. It turned out that the gas station was robed.This was really hard for Ashely because she lost her mom and her life, she couldn't possibly imagine losing Earl. Never the less Earl got out of the hospital with a head concussion. One thing that Ashley learned from all the things that have happened in her life is that every thing can disappear in a blink of an eye, and that she should stop felling sorry for her self and stop blaming her mother.

Quotation

''I use to think I knew everything, and now I don't understand one damn thing about life or people, even my mother, the one person I thought I knew better than anyone. It scares me" (184 Bowsher).

Reaction

Many adults can agree that teenagers think they know everything, but the truth is we are far from knowing everything. It took Ashely a little under 18 years to realize that she does not know everything and some times it okay to ask for help. One of her major problems is that she does not know when to ask for help she goes to life pretending everything is great when in reality it is far from great. It seem like she takes two steps forward and one step backwards. But little by little she is trying to make her new life her own.
