Does the Mustard women worry about Hollis or does she get into other people's buisnesses? and why?

In chapter one on page 5, it was stated that Hollis didn't want anyone to look in to her soul. Why do you think she wanted that?

One of my questions for chapter five was Hollis didn't listen to anybody, and it looks like she doesn't want anybody to think of her as week, or dumb, So when "lemon lady" comes and asks her why she wasn't at school, why was she so scared even when she knew lemon lady wasn't (and couldn't) do anything to her?

Why does it seem like Hollis is ignoring the finding of her mother and spending more time with Josie?

why did hoollis run away from the lemon lady and how did she lose her parents?

Sena said...

According to the old mans words about showing her soul through her pictures, what does Hollis's soul look like?

Why did Hollis run away from Steven, the Old Man, and Izzy if she liked them as a family?

What do you think is best for Hollis Woods, staying with her family, whom she never knew or staying with her friends? If she goes to her family, wouldn't she know how a real family is?. Explain "Why" in the first Question and just explain for second.

Does Hollis really want to see her original parents, or does she just want to know why she was left behind?

If hollis is afraid of losing josie and wants to stay with her, why does she miss izzy, stven, the oldman?

Everyone has a color that best describes thems. What is Hollis Woods's color? Is that the color she always is, or does it fade to be a dull color, or does it change to a lighter version? Is your color always the same?

Why does Hollis think she can stay with Josie while Josie can't even
take care of herself? What does this show?

1- If Hollis sees everything in color, why doesn’t she see the beauty of everything?

2- When complimented about her drawings,why does Hollis feel so emotional and happy?

What was the reason Hollis's mom left her and why did she leave her? Why did she run away from all the homes she lived in?

LeNa said...

When Hollis draws pictures to calm herself down, does that mean that everyone around her isn't as preciouse as her mom that she can't find. Are they not as good to help her, or does she just not believe them?

Unknown said...

WHAT do you think?... Does Hollis care about her real family or did she completely take her real family out of her mind and is focused on Josie and the other foster families she's staying with?

Does Hollis need her real family to be whole??

Do you think Hollis is grateful for what she has? what makes her grateful or ungrateful?

Zara said...

Everyone keeps talking about Hollis's soul but how does Josies' soul look like? WHAT about steven?

When Hollis and Steven go up the mountain, why does he give Hollis the bigger peice of chocolate when he splits it? And why does is he so eager to drive and to teach Hollis to drive?

I think that Hollis is grateful because she is now with Josie and they both have the same habits and things they like to do. And she does not want to leave her even though she left every other foster home. And she is grateful for who she is with now but dosen't worry about her mom anymore.

Answering to Sena's Q:

-I think that Hollis's soul is depending on the pictures that she draws, the color that she puts in it, and the detail that's making the image stand out. So I think that Hollis's soul looks tender, and at the same time it looks lonley and torn apart because of the way she thinks. Which is , wanting people to think that she isn't weak!

do you think that seven is hollises continence or is he taking over her continence

Hahmad96 said...

Answer To Maria's Question:

I think she is not ignoring the search, she is only trying to spend more time with Josie because of her memory.

Two more ideas may be...
1 She is ungrateful and ates her mother because she left her.
2 She has nowhere to go besides with Josie and thinks her mom left her there because of poverty and because she cared for Hollis.

LeNa said...

why do you think that Hollis never visits the real world to go out there to discover her real identity and abilities.
