Chapter 9 - Hanging on to Max

What do you think about Claire's invitation to study in her house for SAT? If you were Sam and you liked Claire, what would you feel and what would you tell Claire? or if you were Claire and you had a feeling that Sam liked you, will you invite him to study with you at home? Why? (Remember the 100-word requirement)

  1. I sense that Claire’s invitation to inviting Sam made him feel a slight nervous. Considering that Sam likes her; he may assume she desires something other than to study. If I were Sam I would believe she wanted more than to just study. I would’ve been pleased to go over and also get to know her too even as we studied. But I’m sure Sam felt nervous too since the mom arrived and God knows what she was thinking. I bet though he was glad to come over, and he was probably thinking about sex, again. What boy wouldn’t want to stop by the home of a girl he likes? I think Sam just needs to open up more and say it clearly that he likes her.

  2. It will be okay to study at Claire’s house since they both have kids I don’t think they’ll be doing anything sexual now, and if they were just going to Claire’s to get with each other than I don’t think they should be going there, but Sam and Claire did study for the SAT’s so it wasn’t a bad thing going over to Claire’s. If I were Sam and I liked Claire, I wouldn’t tell her yet, I’d want to get to know her, and most especially I’d want to know her good and bad sides. If I was Claire and I liked Sam, I’d want to get to know him first, why? Because getting to know someone to me is very important, what if the person u liked was like a two face? You’d want to get to know that person before anything bad happens and if he ends up being a good person, then I’ll invite him. I don’t think inviting a boy to my house would be okay with my parents, they’ll have to sit and talk with him then it’ll be okay to invite him over.

  3. If i were Claire and liked Sam, I will not invite him to study with me at home. It is dangerous to be with a person whom I like in an isolated place because it is hard to only focus on studying. I am probably going to ask personal questions and then, we might get to know each other. When these conversations goes further, it will bring another drama. If i were Claire who already made a mistake at a teen age, I will try not to make another one. Liking someone and having a relationship brought sexual relationship and emily. Because she could not control the seductions and impulse, they made irrevocable situation. Bringing someone,whom i like, to home will very risky. And especially when only two of us will be in the house, I will not invite him. I will not take another temptation that brings same mistakes. It is enough for me to take the present responsibility.

  4. If I were Sam and got an invitation from a girl who I like, and asking me to study at her house.. that will be confuse. A lots of thoughts will pass my mind that she might wants to just meet up for studying, she might just want to confuse me, or maybe she likes me and she wants to spend time with me. Well, who will refuse an invitation from a girl who you like? It is an opportunity to have a time to be with her, and maybe find out if she really likes me. So I’ll say “Sure” to Clair.

  5. If I were Claire and liked Sam, I will not invite him to study with me at home. I think he is not free. Because he has baby. He need time. He make it baby and study fot SAT. His state very hard. But he is effort for Max. Now is very hard. So, look at the Max smile. Take the more strong better then state now. And he looklike missed mom. He made up an excuse about Dad needing, and Max and he went home. So, he is not eighteen. He's mind thirteen. He is young man. so, I will not invite Sam to study with me.

  6. Chapter 8

    Well we have gone far enough in this book to prove that they are both looking interested in each other. Not to far in though, but it does seem like it. If I were Sam, I would be a happy man. Knowing that he has had a crush on her for quite sometime, he would not refuse it. He must be really happy. Because If I were him, I would be. If I were Claire I would probably invite him if I were interested too. It would be giving a sign. She may have said it was because she would feel much more comfortable, but girls use excuses. I think she is interested in him. Inviting him over was just probably her way of giving a sign of interest.

  9. If I was Claire and I like Sam, I will not invite him to study with me at home. Because I know, I like him, so, when we at home study for SAT, I can not study whole-hearted. Even want to know what feeling he had, and what feeling for me, and I know this is so dangerous, because I don’t know what to be able to happen. If I were Claire who already have baby, and loose a lot of things at a teenage, I will try to make mistake and distance is kept with he, and don’t lets him produce the feeling to me.

  10. Here’s what I think about Claire’s invitation for Sam to study for SAT at her house… I think that she didn’t just invite him over just to study. I think that it was more than that. I don’t think that she just wanted him to come over to study. Well… if I was Sam and I liked Claire, I would have accepted the invitation to her house. I would have also been very excited and happy. Because of course if you like some one, you would want/like to spend as much time possible as can. but… if I were Claire and I had a feeling that Sam liked me and I kind of felt the same way, then I would too, invite him over to my house. I would invite him over because like I said, if you like a person, you would want to spend time with them.

  11. If I was claire probably I would just try my best not to fall for sam If i found out that he liked me because that would just make me look kinda bad. the reason why it would make me look bad is because I'm going out with a guy that just has a baby. That would kinda be embarassing for me.its okay if he came just to study with me but nothing further of a conversation and action.

  12. at first i thought wow what was she thinking, but then i was also thinking that they both have kids and they won't do anything but study.if i was sam and i liked claire i would tell her, beacause i have the passion to be with her and why not right?i if i was claire and i had a felling that sam likes me then yes i would invite him over to my house to study.if i were claire and i knew that sam likes me and if he was to ask me out i would say yes because i know that sam already had the experience of how it is to be a single parent who does everything.

  13. I think Claire just wanted to go to her house and study because she liked Sam. But I also think that since Claire is a mother she would want to study in a more comfortable place. If I was Sam and I liked Claire I would stay calm and don’t tell her anything until we are close friends, then I’ll tell her that I like her. If I were Claire and I knew that Sam liked me I wouldn’t invite him over without Gemma. Although, if I like Sam I would invite him over just do we could be alone.

  14. I can see that what I hope was going to happen now Sam is talking about what he will do after he gets out of high school I think that he has to finish collage then that is the time that he can feel free and he can pursue on what he wants the most for his own life. I think that he is stressing out to much and I think that he should just relax and think of the time that he is going to graduate.

  15. As for me, I wouldn't mind because we're just there to study for the SAT. If I were Claire and I knew that Sam likes me, I think that I wouldn't show it that I know it. I would just treat the way we are right now. I wouldn't change anything about myself. I would just act normal towards him. Also, I think that I would be able to talk to him about anything because I have full trust in him and that we both have a lot in common. He wouldn't mind anything that I say or do because he knows it already. I just like how Sam is taking it easy with everything. He really calm and patient.
