Mandy and Tracy

1.        

Tracy is the baddest bitch in prison, her own words. She is the one who rules. Alto she´s a little afraid she´ll loose her social status so whenever the other girls in Garret´s experience her as a little soft she does something bad to get the status back.

She is really good at writing poems, according to Mandy. But since it makes her “soft” I don’t think she does it too often.

She ended up in Garrets when she was 15 years old. When she is 18 she´ll move across the road to an actual jail and when she is 21 and 4 months she will be free.

She tells Mandy how Garrets gives her such anger, she can´t feel sorry about what she did to get put in there in the first place. She just wants out.

2.        

Mandy loved Tracy´s essay, she tells us how she even cried reading it.

In this chapter Mandy is starting to question Tracy. I think she is a little scared of her and what she is capable of.

3.       I feel like Tracy is starting to give up a little. But not in a necessarily bad way. She is thinking about giving the bad bitch social status to a new girl in Garret and said she was about to do her homework. Maybe Mandy inspired her to the better.

Mandy tells us how her birthday for once was quiet good. Steve wasn’t an issue and her parents seemed to care. I think she is getting quiet serious with a boy that I don’t know the name of. He gave her some kind of silver jewelry. So I think her life is pretty good now. Alto Tracy seems to bring her mood down a bit.

4.       Mandy is scared a little scared of Tracy and what she is capable of. She afraid that one day Tracy will show up at her doorstep wanting to move in with her. Mandy´s parent would freak and they would all be living with a criminal. I think Mandy feels like she doesn’t need another person with bad behavior in her family. She already has Steve.

5.       Tracy is scared that Mandy is going to stop writing to her. Since everyone in Garett is afraid of her she doesn’t really have any friends. Mandy is the only one. I don’t think the relationships she has with her family is so strong, so Mandy is really important to her.

6.       I think these letters are great for Tracy. It makes her a little softer, which is good since she´s quiet bad.

7.       I think Tracy and Mandy have gotten to know each other pretty well. They have both told personal parts about their lives so I think they have created a good friendship.
